Elisa obligated with a nod and got into the car. She looked at Julia, “Quickly go back, Grandma.”
Julia responded with a smile and nodded as she said, “I’ll go in after you leave. Quickly fasten your seat belt.”
Elisa put on the seat belt before Julia closed the car door with a hearty smile.
Somehow, Julia had a gut feeling that Gareth and Elisa would make peace and get back together.
Although Gareth had always been an obedient grandchild and did as he said, today, he had meticulously hand-picked an enormous bouquet of nine hundred and ninety-nine roses.
It was unlikely for him to obligate even if she forced him. However, today he undertook the task rather delightfully.
Gareth and Elisa had not the faintest idea what Julia was thinking. They hit the road as soon as Julia shut the front passenger seat for Elisa.
Julia watched the receding car and beamed with satisfaction before entering the house.
She saw Alphonse in the living room and frantically hailed him.
“Alphonse, get someone to keep tabs on Garry and Liz in the company. Remember to keep it low and don’t get busted.”
Mr. Jones acknowledged and immediately went off to manage the said task.
Meanwhile, neither of them spoke. Gareth and Elisa were still in the car. The ambiance in the car was pensive and gloomy.
A hint of hostility was slowly brewing in the air.
Elisa kept her guard up. Her faith in this man had expired.
The car cruised along the road.
Gareth remained silent as if trying to ignore Elisa.
Other people might have felt suffocated in a situation like this but not them. They felt at ease to be in gloomy silence. If there were other people in their presence, they would surely feel on edge within the cramped space Elisa and Gareth both occupied.
