Cole did not continue from thereon as he had clearly expressed his meaning. If Gareth continued detesting Linda, it would only cause a greater hurdle for Will to pursue Elisa. After all, Gareth and Elisa had been husband and wife for several years and had lived under the same roof. If the two reconciled, Will would be devastated. Cole could tell that Will was genuinely fond of Elisa, so he was trying to look out for Will.
However, just as he thought Will would agree with his point, the latter uttered indifferently, "From now on, you only have to glean information but don't meddle with my affair."
Cole was surprised. "Mr. Darcey, you…" In the past, he would follow Will's instructions without asking much. But this time, he was perplexed by Will's indifferent response. This was clearly an efficient shortcut. Moreover, there was nothing Will wouldn't do to go against Gareth all these years. Cole's suggestion this time was deliberately obstructing Gareth, so he reckoned Will would be more than willing to accept the plan.
Will glanced at him and mumbled, "Elisa will be hurt if we do that."
Cole was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Unlike his usual reticent manner, Will explained, "Elisa is determined to seek revenge against Gareth. If you sow discord between them, it will only make Elisa even more distressed. I don't wish to see her get hurt."
Cole was speechless as he stared at Will in shock. "Mr. Darcey, I didn't know you liked Ms. Elisa this much."
Will narrowed his eyes and did not respond. Only then did Cole realize his comment was inappropriate, so he blurted in a fluster, "Do you need me for anything else, Mr. Darcey?"
