Chapter 1835 Being Imposing

Given the complexity of her relationship with Gareth, Elisa wasn't sure about moving back in together.

"I don't think it's the right time, Grandma. I wouldn't want to impose on you," she explained.

Julia frowned disapprovingly and retorted, "Impose? Nonsense! Having you both here would make me

so happy. I love our little family reunions."

Elisa smiled politely but was internally worried about appeasing Julia's unwarranted enthusiasm. She

realized that Julia might bring it up again if she didn't address this now.

Noticing Elisa's dilemma, Bella jumped in playfully, saying, "Grandma, am I not enough entertainment

for you? Did I do something to upset you?"

Julia's attention shifted, and she affectionately tapped Bella's forehead.

"Feeling jealous, you little monkey? Grandma loves having you and Liz here, and it's so much fun when

you're both here. There's no conflict, sweetie. Grandma treats you both fairly," she said with a chuckle,

patting Bella's hand.

Bella looked at Elisa, silently conveying her helplessness. Elisa didn't know what to do, but Gareth,

who had been quiet until then, spoke up suddenly.

"Grandma, Liz has a point about not wanting to impose on you."

Julia frowned, "Impose? Oh, that'll never be the case!"

Gareth put the newspaper aside and explained, "You see. The way things roll for our generation is a

tad different now. We're not quite in the same groove as you guys were back in the day. We need a



little breathing room to work on our relationship. Swinging back here might actually put a brake on our

momentum."

Elisa blushed, feeling embarrassed by his directness. What did he mean by 'work on our relationship'?

They weren't even in a proper relationship, were they?

Elisa discreetly tried to pinch Gareth's waist, but he was so lean and toned that there was nothing to

pinch.

Unfazed, Gareth carried on, "Don't you think, Grandma, that it might be a bit imposing?"

Being perceptive and shrewd, Julia caught Gareth's drift and burst out a knowing laugh, "Ah, I see. I'm

the one imposing on you both! Alright, alright…"

Elisa shot Gareth a look that said, 'Seriously? Shut up already!'

After a bit more conversation, Julia suddenly decided it was time for them to leave. "It's late now. You

two should head back."

Her change in tone contradicted her previous sentiments. Still, Elisa didn't think twice and swiftly took

Gareth's hand to make their exit.

From behind, Julia sighed contentedly, "Ah, to be young and in love. They get along so well, don't

they?"

Bella, hiding nearby, couldn't hold back her laughter and covered her mouth.

Inside the car, outside Wickam Manor.

With the driver gone, they were alone in the car, relying on themselves to get home.




Gareth occupied the driver's seat and turned towards Elisa.

"You're not upset with me, right? I had to say that, or Grandma wouldn't have let us leave," he

explained.

Elisa remained silent, glaring at Gareth with even more intensity.

"Can you please stop making decisions without consulting me in the future? All the gossip and rumors

about us are because of your actions! Urgh!"

She turned her head away, no longer interested in looking at him.

Unbeknownst to her, Gareth's eyes sparkled with mischief, revealing that it was all a deliberate move.
