However, Elisa gestured towards the Italian food in front of them. "Let's not forget why we're here today."
But now that the topic has been brought up, Gareth had no appetite to continue eating.
He put down the fork in his hand, his gaze fixed intensely on Elisa. At the same time, his voice was firm. "We've come this far, so we can't keep interacting like this, can we?"
If we're not getting married and not defining our relationship, then what does it all mean?
Elisa responded calmly, rebutting, "We can also choose not to interact."
"I know you're upset after seeing the messages from Linda that reminded you of the past. But you can't deny my sincerity towards you lately, can you?" Gareth pursed his lips, his expression growing even more solemn.
There was a storm of anger brewing in those dark eyes of his, but he was also exercising restraint.
After a brief silence, Elisa slowly responded to Gareth's words, her tone candid and straightforward. "I understand what you're trying to say, but we've been married and divorced. I've just emerged from the grave, so you can't possibly expect me to go back in, can you? During the three years we were married, you never changed your attitude towards me, nor did you show me any affection. Why should I believe that after our frequent interactions recently, you would treat me well if we were to reestablish our relationship and remarry?"
She gazed at him quietly.
Gareth understood her worries. To alleviate her concerns, he even took the initiative to propose, "If you're worried about me changing my mind, we can sign a remarriage agreement."
"Is that even useful? Am I afraid of having nothing or of you falling in love with someone else? Gareth, don't you forget, in the past three years, all you've given me is the feeling of unrequited love."
