“Of course, it’s awkward. It’s going to be awkward if Ms. Elisa doesn’t accept Mr. Wickam’s advances,” someone

retorted immediately.

The crowd bickered back and forth as they watched Gareth and Elisa leave.

Someone suddenly realized the trouble they were in.

“Oh my gosh… Mr. Wickam and Ms. Elisa left together, but how are we going to leave in this sea of roses?”

This comment made the bickering crowd stop and look around.

Sh*t! How are we going to deal with these roses? How do we leave? What will we do if we anger Mr. Wickam by

stepping on the flowers?! But there’s no other route!

At this moment, they didn’t want to spend time discussing their boss’ relationship; all they wanted to do was go

home! They could gossip at home!

Meanwhile, Gareth dragged Elisa to the car. Once the door closed, all pretense fell from Elisa’s face. She was

beyond unhappy.

“What are you trying to get at?!”

“I just wanted to give you roses. What do you mean?” Gareth looked at her cynically.

Elisa’s face darkened, and she said through gritted teeth, “You knew why I punished you yesterday. And yet, you’re

coming to bite me back by making such a big scene. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

“I don’t care as long as Grandma is happy,” Gareth scoffed.

Elisa was speechless. She huffed and turned away from him. Gareth started the car and drove away. They did not

speak another word during the whole journey to Wickam Manor.

Elisa was greeted by Julia’s smiling face the moment she entered.

“My dears, you’re here! Dinner’s ready. Go wash up, and we can eat.”

Elisa’s face softened when she saw Julia. She couldn’t act unhappy in front of her. On the other hand, Gareth

moved naturally. He felt quite pleased to see Elisa so bothered.

Elisa gnashed her teeth and stayed quiet. Gareth angered her so much, but she had to replace her standing.

Otherwise, she would be suffocated! At the same time, she was worried about what Gareth would do if she found

her place again.

Julia was clueless about what was going on in their minds. She was happy about the events during these two days.

She had stopped pressuring them to get back together but still hoped they would remarry each other. She felt

content as she saw the change in Gareth’s attitude toward Elisa.

“Elisa, I heard this brat finally gave you flowers. How was the arrangement? Did you like it?”

The anger boiling in Elisa overflowed as she thought about what Gareth had done at the office. She wanted to cut

him.

She breathed in to compose herself and forced a smile. “It wasn’t bad.”

She did not make any other comments. She could see the sarcasm in Gareth’s eyes as he looked at her with a

smirk. Her anger shot through the roof again.

She continued smiling, “Gareth’s action probably shook the whole city, maybe even the whole country. Very soon, it

will be trending on Twitter. You can probably see it then. He even said there was another surprise waiting for me

here in front of everyone.”
