Elisa was bewildered at his words.
To be exact, she was feeling numb.
She never imagined Gareth would say such words so gently.
"Are you mad?" Elisa said after a long pause.
Gareth stared at her. His expression was serious, and his voice was low. "I'm not kidding."
Elisa was dumbstruck.
She turned away and didn't want to look at the man but slowly said, "Gareth, we're not suitable. Getting together in the past was a mistake, so there's no need to continue making this mistake. Divorce is good for both of us."
She paused, but the man still grabbed her wrist, and she couldn't break free. She didn't wait for the man to respond as she furrowed her brows and looked at Gareth. Impatience was intertwined in her voice. "I was mad about you in the past, but you never even looked at me. You hated me in every possible way, and your words left me riddled with scars. Why should I start over with such a man like you, Gareth?"
Gareth was slightly startled. The coldness in his eyes seemed to gradually dissipate because of her words.
But this time, Elisa seemed to have found an outlet to vent. She couldn't help but sneer. "You and Will are no different to me. Right now, both of you just want to take advantage of me. You just want to be with me to exploit me. But Gareth, you don't have to do that. I will work with you when necessary, for Grandma's sake. Furthermore, working with you brings me no harm."
Elisa's voice seemed to be louder than before, and resentment was intertwined in it.
