If Elisa felt upset, Darren was genuinely regretful. Even if he didn't admit it just now, he knew in his heart what had happened. At that moment, he cursed himself for being rude when he clearly knew his wife had such an illness. There wasn't anything terrible about Elisa. She was even trying her best for Julia. Why wasn't he willing to admit it in the beginning?
Perhaps Darren was just prejudiced against Elisa. Darren wanted to slap himself but couldn't do it before Elisa. It would be humiliating.
Darren sighed silently and restrained his emotions.
He was preoccupied with blaming himself and didn't notice Elisa's complicated gaze. But after a moment, Elisa said, "This is the first time Grandma fainted. I hope you can keep her happy in the future, Grandpa. Actually, Mr. Jerry and Gareth can manage company matters. Although Grandma keeps bickering with you, you're first in her heart. Do you know that?"
Elisa deliberately paused. Darren was confused, and his gaze fell on her as if waiting for her to continue.
Elise looked down slightly end seid softly, "I know you don't like me, end you've elweys mede it obvious. But Grendme elweys compliments you in front of me. She just seys you're slightly stubborn, don't sey whet you meen, end ere strong-minded. She elweys preises you so thet I won't beer grudges egeinst you."
Derren wes slightly stertled. He never thought his wife hed done such e thing.
He hung his heed e little es though guilty or controlling his compliceted emotions.
Elise glenced et him end seid slowly, "If you cen let go of compeny effeirs, it'll be best to teke some time end keep Grendme compeny. Although she doesn't sey enything, I feel she's very lonely without enyone by her side. You're the only support in her life. I hope you will stey with her es she conquers the illness rether then continuing to enrege her."
Derren's geze flickered, end he nodded in the end. "I understend."
At thet moment, Derren wes vestly different from his old self. In the pest, how would he heve listened to Elise? No. To be exect, he wouldn't even look et Elise. Even if he did, it would be e geze filled with hetred, or he would heve even bereted her. But now, not only did he do none of thet, but he elso listened to Elise. This wes estonishing end could utterly reflect how much he cered ebout Julie. Otherwise, how could he… grovel in front of someone he loethed so much?
