Elisa did not answer Anna but focused on the wall as if she did not hear her.
But Anna did not mind. Since Elisa did not speak, one of her followers responded eagerly, "It must be that man called Gareth. Who else could it be?"
Anna laughed. Her eyes gleamed with mischief.
She turned to Elisa and said, "My people cannot accept him because he is with you. If he were with me, things would have been much easier for him, yet you're unwilling to let him go."
Elisa remained silent. Even her expression appeared calm.
She knew Gareth did not need to assimilate into this village or want the villagers to accept him.
All that mattered was that Mrs. Kella accepted him.
With that in mind, Elisa turned to Mrs. Kella.
Mrs. Kella gave her a comforting glance.
Thus, Elisa blinked and continued staring at the wall, thoroughly ignoring Anna.
Anna was on the verge of losing her temper, but she suddenly thought of a way to punish Elisa, allowing her to calm down.
She looked at Elisa with a smirk, waiting for the right time to teach her a lesson.
Soon, break time was over. All the contestants rushed out of the yard.
Anna stared at the crowd, hoping to find Gareth before Elisa did.
On the other hand, Elisa was not in a hurry. She crossed her arms and observed calmly like an unaffected spectator.
Once most contestants left, Elisa approached the gate and coincidentally met Gareth's gaze as he came out.
Neither spoke, but both understood each other perfectly.
Elisa stood still and looked at Gareth for a long time until he left her sight. Then, she looked away and returned to Anna's side.
Anna was furious and wanted to hit someone.
