Gareth's eyes gleamed briefly with a cold, piercing intensity, overshadowed by a strong sense of disdain.
"Whoever it is. I hope his courage is enough, but I doubt his luck will hold."
Gareth dropped these words with a cold tone, his hand firmly clasping Elisa's waist as they continued their stride.
However, his actions stirred something deep within her, making her uneasy. She instinctively tried to push him away. "Gareth, what are you doing? It's just someone following us..."
His sudden action caught her off guard. Although Elisa had no idea who was trailing them, fear was the last thing on her mind. And naturally, Gareth felt the same way.
He spoke with determination, "They are coming for my family again. I won't let anything happen to you."
Elisa didn't say anything because she didn't know how to react.
Shortly after, Gareth guided her into a car. However, Gareth intended to take the driver's seat. Observing this, Elisa promptly intervened. "Just give me the address, and I'll drive."
"No need," Gareth refused her, and in the next instant, he was already in the driver's seat, buckling up his seatbelt.
Elisa was well aware of Gareth's assertive nature, knowing that he always had the final say. So, she dropped the subject and went along with him. Settling into the back seat, she watched as the scenery outside gradually receded.
Through the rearview mirror, she noticed a silver-white van trailing them at a consistent distance. If she had spotted it, there was no doubt that Gareth had seen it too.
After driving for more than an hour, Gareth finally pulled over. Elisa glanced at the destination: Hoover Homestead. It was a renowned tourist spot in Southdale.
The resort boasted natural hot springs and expansive fields of blooming flowers that stretched across interconnected mountains. It even offered hot air balloon rides that could take you to the sky.
It was a popular destination for romantic getaways.
During their three-year marriage, Elisa had often imagined experiencing the blissful romance of an ordinary couple with Gareth. This was the kind of place she had always wanted to visit.
After all, she was a woman who longed for love, passion, and a lifetime together with her significant other.
But now—
They were divorced, and she no longer harbored any expectations for love.
