"It's none of your business. This is between Elisa and me. As the only son of the Darcey family, you need to think about carrying on the family line. Rumor has it Mrs. Darcey has been arranging blind dates left, right, and center for you. I wonder if your dates would care to hear about your current situation.
"Besides, so what if Elisa and I don't have feelings for each other anymore? She is still my wife. You, on the other hand, who are you? What are you to her?"
Gareth hit a sore point in Will. Will didn't know what to say.
Although he sounded as easygoing as ever, Elisa could sense his anger.
They'd spent so much time together that she had become more perceptive to his emotions.
Just like Gareth never considered Will a serious competitor.
Throughout their interactions, Gareth never looked Will directly in the eye.
As Elisa had suspected, Gareth didn't see Will as a rival.
She took a deep breath to compose herself. "Will and Rachel are both my friends. It is perfectly reasonable for them to be here in my house." Elisa looked Gareth in the eye, ensuring he understood every word she said. "As for you. You're the only one without an invitation. This is trespassing on private property. I'd like you to leave, Mr. Wickam."
Elisa bit out his name. She was furious. This wasn't the first time Gareth had spoiled her good mood.
Why couldn't he just leave her alone? Let them both move on with their own lives.
Gareth stared at Elisa's flushed face. Memories of her blushing cheeks filled his mind. But this time, she was angry.
"Why?"
Gareth's question didn't make sense.
What did he mean to ask? "Why are you treating me this way?", or "Why did you invite him?" or maybe, "Why won't you let me in?"
Elisa had no intention of answering him, regardless of what he was trying to say.
Her gaze was distant and cold as if he were nothing more than a stranger to her. This was Gareth's biggest fear.
He could handle hatred or disgust, but he couldn't bear to see Elisa look at him so coldly.
