Elisa raised her brows. "Really?"
Rose was dumbfounded.
The more nonchalant Elisa acted, the more worried Rose grew. She felt like something wasn't right but couldn't put her finger on it. It was because Elisa was behaving like this that Rose grew doubtful. She kept thinking of the worst-case scenarios!
Her bad feeling was worsening, and she didn't know what to do!
Rose looked at Elisa in dismay as if waiting for Elisa to continue.
Elisa smiled. She said softly, "Aunt Rose, I've always thought you were smart. You've been able to scheme silently for so many years, but why have you become so…"
Elisa suddenly stopped, but her words had been filled with disdain and disbelief.
Rose's expression turned nasty, and her brows furrowed tightly. At that moment, she didn't want to talk in riddles with Elisa anymore. It was mainly because Elisa's words didn't make her feel as confident as before. She stared at Elisa. "Liz, what are you trying to say?"
She was really going to lose her temper if she didn't need to put on an act in front of Elisa!
Can't she just get on with it? Why does she insist on keeping me in suspense?!
Is it so hard to spit it out?!
Elisa smiled. "I mean that you've never had your guard up against Uncle Norman for so many years. You really think that he's…"
Elisa deliberately muttered, "Allow me to think of how to phrase it."
After that, she seemed to think of something. She smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. You really think he's a perfect husband to you and only schemes against others, right?"
