Chapter 1769 Going For A Walk Together?
The two bustled in the kitchen and prepared a table full of delicacies.
Elisa had pretty good cooking skills. This surprised Gareth slightly.
After all… Gareth had only seen but never tried Elisa's cooking.
Elisa's lips twitched when she saw Gareth's expression. "The housekeeper isn't always around. I can't starve when I'm alone, right?"
Gareth looked down and didn't say anything. He knew Elisa was saying that he rarely went home while they were married.
But he wouldn't do that in the future.
He would try his best to make up for his previous shortcomings in the future.
While eating, Elisa turned on a news channel on the television. It could be said that she deliberately interrupted any possibility of the two interacting.
However, it was strange that she could tolerate eating with Gareth at the same table.
But she couldn't speak to him calmly, especially when they were eating or before they went to sleep.
Because she felt that these times were too personal. She didn't want Gareth to disturb her.
As for Gareth, he could shrewdly sense Elisa's thoughts, so he didn't say anything and ate quietly.
In the big room, only the woman's businesslike voice on the television rang as she reported the latest news.
One of the news was the strict crackdown on tax auditing, especially since Election Day was around the corner. It would be a severe blow if anything happened to the company now.
Elisa unexpectedly asked about Russell Group's recent situation.
Gareth smiled. "Are you concerned about me?"
Elisa shook her head. Her words were still as antagonistic as usual. "I'm afraid you can't buy the house next door if your company goes bankrupt. Then you would have to stay here all your life."
He knew Elisa was doing it on purpose. He couldn't help but raise his brows. "It sounds like you care for me."
Elisa ate with her cutlery and said indifferently, "I'm just concerned for myself."
Gareth shrugged, and the two didn't continue the topic of conversation.
Just as Elisa felt the topic was over and Gareth wouldn't bring it up again, he spoke up.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to the company with me overseeing it. You need to be careful. An unexpected calamity is most terrifying when managing a large company."
Elisa chewed on her okra and acknowledged him. She didn't say anything else.
She also wanted to say that the company would be fine with her overseeing it. Still, she didn't want to say anything unnecessary.
After dinner, Gareth took the initiative to clean the table and put the dishes into the dishwasher.
Elisa let him do so. Since he was willing to clean, she would be only too glad to let him tidy up.
Elisa scurried back to her room after dinner.
She wanted to read proposals in her room until she fell asleep.
But there was a knock at the door.
Elisa opened the door. Gareth was outside.
"Is something wrong?"
Gareth looked inside her room and wanted to see what she was doing in her room.
But Elisa subtly moved to the side and blocked his sight of view.
He said, "The weather tonight is nice. I ate a little too much just now. Can we go out for a walk together?"
Elisa was baffled. "You can go if you want to."
She wasn't stopping him.
She subconsciously didn't hear the words 'we' and 'together.'
Gareth stared at Elisa unblinkingly, looking slightly pathetic.
"But I'm not very familiar with this area. Can I trouble you to take me around? Just so I can familiarize myself with this area. I won't disturb you again."
Elisa glanced at him and seemed slightly aloof. "Are you sure you want to go out for a walk like this?"
