Chapter 1815 Visiting Grandma
Elisa sighed. "She's on the same side as Paul. I'm not exactly sure what their relationship is. She's just another pretty face."
"A pretty face? Since when did the standard of beauty become so low?" Gareth snorted.
Elisa chuckled.
On the other hand, Bella returned to her seat and saw a bouquet of baby's breath – her favorite flower. She had just arrived in Bayswe not long ago and didn't know many people besides Gareth and Elisa. So, she couldn't think of anyone who would possibly send her flowers.
Bella took up the bouquet doubtfully and found an anonymous gift card. On the card was written: I miss you.
Who would miss me? How strange…
Bella frowned and put the flowers aside, thinking they were mistakenly sent. However, she continued receiving flowers for almost a week over the next few days, sometimes with a card and sometimes without. On some days, it was tulips; and baby breaths on the other days.
Nonetheless, Bella knew it was from the same sender.
She tried guessing the sender's identity and even considered lodging a police report, but her colleagues suggested it might just be her secret admirer. And so, Bella didn't do anything about it.
Nevertheless, there were some pleasant situations as well. Ever since being told off the last time, Rochelle hadn't found fault with Bella for a period. Bella and her team completed the final stage of the proposal with peace of mind and started negotiating with the client.
The outcome was promising, and they would most likely secure the contract, pending the signing of the contract.
Bella knew the proposal wouldn't have passed so smoothly if it weren't for Elisa. So, she called to invite Elisa and Gareth for a meal, treating it as a pre-celebration.
Elisa thought about it and suggested, "What about going to Grandma's place? We haven't told her that you've come to Bayswe. Let's go back and give her a surprise. She always talks about you."
Bella's eyes became red-rimmed when she remembered the kind elderly.
Her voice cracked. "To think about it, if Grandma didn't insist you and Gareth return for my wedding, I might not be living the good life that I have now. I would've been kept in the dark by the shameless couple and tortured for the rest of my life."
Elisa furrowed her brows and disagreed. "You have what you have now because of your hard work."
Bella made no comment but was deeply grateful for Elisa.
The two ladies fixed a time, and Elisa informed Gareth, who gladly agreed to come along.
After work, he came to pick up both of them.
However, little did Bella know that the moment she got into the car, Rochelle followed her out and captured pictures of them.
Julia thought only Gareth and Elisa were coming, so she was surprised to see Bella when they arrived at the villa. She scolded Gareth with hands on her hips, "You should've told me earlier that Elisa is coming. I didn't have time to prepare anything! You always use your busy schedule as an excuse. Work can never be more important than family. Ugh, you stubborn child!"
"It's okay, Grandma. We came back to spend time with you. We'll eat whatever you eat." Elisa held Julia's hand affectionately and purred, making her happy as a lark.
