No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 1962

Chapter 1962 Jealousy

As neither Elisa nor Gareth talked about it, an eerie silence fell between them.

Even though they had just escaped from the brink of death, they became distant again.

Elisa didn't understand why, but being as proud as she was, she wouldn't ask.

The air around seemed to have solidified.

An awkward atmosphere spread between them. Gareth tried to initiate conversation several times, but each attempt was cut short by her responses of “Mm,” “Oh,” and “Sure.”

Just at that moment, Rachel knocked on the door and came in.

With the addition of a third person, the atmosphere in the room finally improved.

With her hands behind her back, Rachel cautiously stepped in, sensing a somewhat off atmosphere between the two.

Tensions were running high.

Upon seeing Rachel arrive, Gareth made room for her to sit down.

She looked at him, whose chin was covered in stubble, and abruptly felt soft-hearted. “You should go take a shower and clean up. We're leaving this afternoon anyway. You should also take some time to rest.”

Gareth remained still, glancing at Elisa with hopeful eyes.

He was likely hoping for some kind of reaction from her, whether it was being moved or something else.

Alas, Elisa continued to bow her head, engrossed in her food and disregarding everything. It was as if she didn't care about what they were discussing at all.

With a deep sigh, Gareth told Rachel about some things to take note of, then left the room while constantly looking back.

After he left, Rachel chuckled and asked, “What happened? I heard that the two of you were crying in each other's arms at the scene. Now that you're both back safe and sound, why have you two started giving each other the cold shoulder instead?”

In an instant, Elisa snapped back to reality.

In fact, nothing really happened between the two of them.

She just instinctively disliked Kaylee and felt that the latter was a scheming person.

It gave her an uncomfortable feeling, especially when she would feel dizzy after staring at Kaylee for too long. The woman was indeed beautiful, but she was the dangerous kind, like a femme fatale.

Unfortunately, Elisa couldn't voice these words because Gareth's intentions were clear—he was determined to take Kaylee back with him.

Elisa became curious, wondering where he would arrange for Kaylee to be after bringing her with him.

After all, even Gareth himself lived in Elisa's house.

Elisa's mind contained a whirlwind of thoughts. She turned to Rachel and queried, “What's the story behind... Kaylee?”

The latter blinked. “Kaylee? We're not quite sure either. Gareth returned with her in tow after he went out. He said she had a way to save you, which was why he brought her... What's wrong?”

After much thought, Elisa decided to tell Rachel about it.

“Then, do you know that he's planning to take her away from here too?”

Rachel shook her head. She hadn't had much contact with Gareth and Kaylee, as she had been focused on healing her own injuries and hadn't paid much attention to this matter.

But... so what if he wants to bring Kaylee along? Could it be that Elisa is angry because of this?

“Ha!” Rachel exclaimed, standing up with a hand on her hip, pointing at Elisa. “And you still said you don't like Gareth?”

The latter blinked innocently. “What does this have to do with whether I like him or not?”

Elisa was at a loss for words, unsure why such a thought occurred to Rachel.

Seeing Elisa keeping silent, Rachel anxiously asked, “Don't tell me I've hit the nail on the head? You've unknowingly fallen for Gareth, haven't you? Is that why you don't want him to leave with another girl?”

The more she thought about it, the more she thought it seemed possible.
