Julia nodded her head quickly, “Of course I can!! You better do a good surprise, or else I won’t forgive you!!”
Elisa could not participate in their conversation at all.
Gareth placed his cutleries down and was about to leave as he had finished dinner.
“Stop! There’s no need for a surprise!” Elisa blurted out. She wanted to stop him, but his footsteps did not falter.
Julia returned from the bathroom and sat back at the dining table. “Don’t worry about him. Let’s finish our dinner,” she said with a smile.
Elisa couldn’t stop her true feelings from showing on her face. She quickly finished off the food on her plate and made an excuse. “Grandma, it’s getting late. I better get going. I still have work to do.”
“You can’t go yet.” Julia stopped her by grabbing her hand.
Elisa was stumped and felt troubled.
“Grandma, I really do have work to do,” she explained.
Julia sighed pitifully, “I haven’t even finished dinner. Do you have to leave now?”
Elisa couldn’t say anything else. She sat down heavily.
