The truth was difficult for Gareth to accept, but things had changed. No matter how irritated he was, he could no longer take it out on Elisa.
He still wanted to convince her otherwise, but he gave up on that thought upon seeing her attitude.
"Are we having dinner at home or going out? I'll ask Thomas to book a place if it's the latter. Otherwise, he can get some takeaways for us."
By the time Thomas arrives, it'll be at least an hour or two later, Elisa thought.
Thinking about the time, Elisa shook her head. "I'll take a look at the supermarket downstairs."
"I'll join you." Gareth quickly volunteered.
She shot a glare at him and relented upon seeing the insistence on his face. "If you're up for it, let's go."
"Okay," he replied in a low voice and followed her.
Though he was still feeling weak, he could still take it.
When he was pushing the trolley in the supermarket, Elisa took it from him and went to the fresh market.
Gareth would seldom go grocery shopping since he never cooked. Apart from that, he didn't like the smell of fresh meat.
He stood afar, observing how other couples entered the snack aisle. He brought her to that spot after Elisa got the ingredients she wanted.
"Do you want something here?" she asked in surprise.
He shook his head and gestured to the aisle with his head. "Take anything you like."
"I'm not interested in snacks," she rejected.
Gareth's face was as dark as night when he saw the unannounced presence.
However, the new joiner only had his eyes on Elisa.
With a warm smile, he said, "Ms. Benett, it's been a while! How are you?"
When Elisa saw him, her eyes turned even colder than her facial features.
I can't believe Mr. Carrerra came all the way here from Moranta!
Since there were only Gareth and her, she felt danger instinctively and nudged Gareth with her elbow to ask him to leave first.
After all, he was in no condition to start a fight with Mr. Carrerra.
