Chapter 183 Unable to Help Herself
She looked at him instinctively with shock in her eyes. “You–”
“If you try to force things, none of them will be happy. I hope you understand this, madam,” he explained calmly, but his words were precise and accurate.
She froze upon hearing that. “I–”
To help them get together, I always try to make them meet each other. Could this… be a bad idea? She could not help sighing internally. He is right – if it’s a good idea, their relationship wouldn’t have worsened over the past three years. It did not get any better at all.
At this instant, she suddenly had no clue what she should do next.
Malcolm saw through her dilemma and said, “May God bless you. If you could let go, you will realize nothing in life would escape from their fated destiny.”
Meanwhile, Elisa and Gareth were still waiting outside. He looked like his usual self, but she was worried that Julia might notice something.
Not long after, their wait was over; Julia walked out of the door with Malcolm sending her out personally.
She bowed to him before saying respectfully, “Thank you for the advice. I’ll keep it in mind.”
He smiled back. “Have a safe journey back.”
Now that their visit was over, both women went back, together with Gareth, with worry looming in their minds.
On their way back, Julia was noticeably more morose, making Elisa slightly worried. She held the former’s hands and asked, “Grandma, what did you ask Mr. Bridgewood just now?”
Julia’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She hesitated for a moment before sighing, “I just wanted to ask about your relationship with Gareth, and he told me not to force things.”
Elisa’s expression slightly changed, and Gareth also frowned. Nevertheless, he did not utter a word and placed his focus on the road.
None of them commented on that, so Julia heaved another sigh.
“Sometimes, I think about everything that happened in the past three years before your divorce. You guys haven’t been getting along, and I kept trying to help you guys.” She could not help herself from sighing once more. “Perhaps it’s because of my efforts that made both of you become strangers to each other. In other words, I might be the reason for your divorce.”
Upon hearing that, Elisa quickly held her hand and laughed gently. “Grandma, even though Gareth and I are divorced, we will always be with you. If you need me, I’ll be here anytime, and I’ve already thought of you as my own grandma.”
Gareth pursed his lips without saying a word, but his face darkened.
However, Elisa’s remaining words made his face turn even darker.
“But…” Julia looked torn. Even though she knew what Malcolm said was correct, she was still a human after all – she could not help herself.
“Grandma, even without you, it’s highly probable that we will be divorced, and it might be even sooner. Our relationship is just a facade in front of everyone. You know the truth yourself. Even if I can get the sun for him, it might not even warm his heart up.” With that, Elisa smiled, but Gareth’s hands tightened on the steering wheel.
