"Grandma, I'll go to her place first."
Julia remained silent and stepped aside to let him pass.
At Elisa's place, since she was getting ready to leave, she hadn't closed the door properly after seeing Julia off. This allowed Gareth to enter.
Noticing the partially open door, he walked right in.
Elisa was busy packing her suitcase.
"Are you going to Moranta?" Gareth asked, his voice slightly hoarse.
The sudden sound startled Elisa, and she was momentarily taken aback. However, upon recognizing Gareth, her heart rate gradually returned to normal.
Annoyed, she glared at him. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"It's not that. Your door wasn't properly closed," Gareth explained how he managed to enter, his voice sincere.
Elisa didn't blame him for this minor intrusion, and she refrained from arguing over such trivial matters. Instead, she replied nonchalantly, "Yes, I'm headed to Moranta. You can meet Linda on your own tomorrow."
After finishing her words, Elisa looked away from Gareth and resumed packing her belongings.
Gareth's face darkened upon hearing her words. "Are you so eager for me to go find Linda?"
"I've already made plans with her; I can't just stand her up, can I?" Elisa pouted.
She hadn't anticipated this conflict between her commitments. Clearly, when comparing Linda and Winslow's matters, the latter was undoubtedly more important.
