Chapter 1384 Who Can Stand Him?

Those eyes were filled with chilling intensity.

However, Elisa was preoccupied with Eden at the moment.

Despite being shamed by her the day before, Eden continued to show up by her side repeatedly, unfazed.

She couldn't help but wonder about Eden's motives!

However, Elisa's negligence immediately cast a shadow over Gareth's face, silently causing concern for Thomas, who stood nearby.

"Indeed, power and wealth can be incredibly tempting," Gareth remarked, setting down his chopsticks without any desire to eat.

'Clatter'

The sudden noise captured Elisa's attention, and she immediately noticed Gareth's icy gaze, cutting through the air like a sharpened blade directly aimed at her.

A surge of unease washed over Elisa, instantly killing her appetite.

Annoyed, she asked Gareth, "What are you trying to say?"

His unexpected statement left her utterly bewildered.

"The literal meaning," Gareth replied indifferently, his words dripping with coldness.

Meanwhile, Eden smirked, thoroughly relishing the drama he had set in motion. He was pleased with his scheme.

"Liz, can you believe his nerve to say such rude things to you? It's a good thing you divorced him; otherwise, he would have gotten even worse and made you go crazy," Eden remarked sarcastically.

"I don't care that you've divorced. All I know is that I care about you and genuinely like you. Just consider me, would you?" Eden looked at Elisa, exuding confidence in his words and the smile adorning his face.

Eden's prideful smile and words left no doubt about his determination to win her over.

With narrowed eyes, Elisa said, "You're absolutely right. I'm divorced. If I were to consider marrying again, I would carefully assess the conditions and stability the other person could offer. So give me reasons why should I consider you? And who is that woman standing behind you?"

Elisa's lips curled with a mocking smile as she spoke intentionally.

Being no fool, Eden was well aware of Elisa's deliberate intent.

He also knew that Gareth's cold and piercing gaze was fixed upon them.

Smiling, he explained, "I can assure you a lifetime of stability and endless riches."

Aware of his identity and abilities, Elisa played along, "Words alone don't convince me. I could also boast about being rich without showing evidence. Plus, you keep making all these assurances without any proof. Why don't you start by showing your sincerity and telling me who that person behind you is? In a normal circumstance, shouldn't you open your cards first?"

A deep and meaningful smile formed on Elisa's lips.

Thomas glanced at Elisa and Eden, then looked at Gareth beside him.

The visage of Gareth resembled a glacial ice sheet, and the wintry chill in his eyes sent a shiver down Thomas' spine.

Just as Gareth was about to say something, his phone rang.

It was Jeremy.

Gareth grasped his phone and rose to his feet, intending to answer the incoming call.

"Ms. Benett, besides seafood, what other food choices should we consider for Mr. Wickam's health?" Thomas quickly consulted as he noticed Gareth's absence.

Gareth's frustration grew as possessiveness was a strong trait in men. It pained him to see the woman he loved engaging in laughter and conversation with another man, testing his ability to endure.

Thomas' intrusion prompted Elisa to realize Gareth's absence.

"Didn't he already say he wasn't hungry?" Elisa furrowed her brows, clearly displeased.

He hadn't eaten a thing and was being so unnecessarily moody. Why should she bother looking after him? Elisa couldn't care less as long as the shivering episode from last night didn't repeat itself.
