“Haha, okay. I’ll wait for you.” Old Madam Wickam seemed to be in a good mood. On top of just waking up from her afternoon nap, she was in high spirits.
The both of them chatted, and they looked like they were related. There were no barriers or boundaries between them.
They talked and laughed, and it was unknowingly dinner time.
“Old Madam Wickam. Ms. Benett. The food is ready. Would you like it to be served now?”
Julia was a little startled. “Look at the time. Yes, serve the food.”
“Alright.”
Julia smiled. She got up, and she was still holding onto Elisa’s hand.
However, after they had washed their hands, they noticed that the doors of the manor were open.
Elisa and Julia looked over at the same time. When they saw a tall figure, the smile on the corners of their mouths froze.
The man raised his brows slightly. “Am I so unwelcome?”
Surprise flickered across Elisa’s eyes.
In the past, if she and Grandma had such expressions, his face would be dark.
But today, he looked like he was in a pretty good mood.
Elisa looked away and didn’t say a word.
Although Grandma had said that there no one else would be around tonight, it was plausible that Gareth knew about it and came over intentionally. After all, this man had been willing to swallow his pride to work with her.
Elisa looked away and picked up the cutlery before handing it to Julia.
When Julia took it from her, she looked at Gareth, slightly displeased. “Why are you here?”
He was dumbstruck.
When he walked over, Julia couldn’t help but say, “Liz and I are going to eat. Is something wrong?”
Gareth was stupefied once more.
Is he interrupting their dinner if he didn’t have a reason to look for Grandma?
