After saying that, Rachel turned around.
Her determination was evident, as was her indifference.
She remained silent and cold.
He knew all too well that if he were to pursue her again, Rachel would undoubtedly grow frustrated with him.
Their relationship had to progress gradually; there was no rushing it.
Just before hopping on the plane, Rachel decided to ring up Elisa.
Meanwhile, Elisa had just escaped the clutches of the pesky reporter and settled into the car. Leaning against the window, lost in her thoughts, she suddenly received a call from Rachel.
"Hello, my dearest Ms. Markee!" Elisa cheerfully picked up, hoping to lighten her tense mood.
Since her return to the country, Elisa hadn't had the time to reach out or meet Rachel.
She had been caught up in a whirlwind, taking care of the ailing Julia while simultaneously playing a role with Gareth to appease and satisfy Julia.
Rachel sneered, "You've got some nerve saying hello to me! I flew all the way to Moranta for you and got fooled by that jerk Vincent. And you, despite my repeated warnings, hm! You still didn't listen and insisted on getting involved with Gareth! Just wait for me to return; I'll hop on the plane in an hour!"
Elisa was startled.
It never occurred to her that Rachel would go to Moranta for her.
"Why did you go there, my dear?"
"For you, of course!"
Elisa's expression was a mix of emotions as she calmly explained, "Gareth and I were just putting on an act. We're not actually together..."
Rachel let out a dismissive snort, "You're blurring the lines between pretense and reality. I don't want to see you get hurt again. Liz, please get your priorities straight!"
Elisa pursed, "I've got my priorities straight, don't worry."
She had no intention of remarrying Gareth.
After a few more exchanges with Rachel, Elisa ended the call.
Throughout her conversation with Rachel, Gareth's face remained sullen, his brows furrowed, but Elisa was oblivious to his displeasure.
Meanwhile, Gareth couldn't shake off Elisa's earlier words echoing in his mind.
