Chapter 761

Gareth stayed calm. “Yeah, I will prepare her surprise. Grandma, could you clarify things on Twitter in

preparation?”

Julia nodded her head quickly, “Of course I can!! You better do a good surprise, or else I won’t forgive

you!!”

Elisa could not participate in their conversation at all.

Gareth placed his cutleries down and was about to leave as he had finished dinner.

“Stop! There’s no need for a surprise!” Elisa blurted out. She wanted to stop him, but his footsteps did

not falter.

Julia returned from the bathroom and sat back at the dining table. “Don’t worry about him. Let’s finish

our dinner,” she said with a smile.

Elisa couldn’t stop her true feelings from showing on her face. She quickly finished off the food on her

plate and made an excuse. “Grandma, it’s getting late. I better get going. I still have work to do.”

“You can’t go yet.” Julia stopped her by grabbing her hand.

Elisa was stumped and felt troubled.

“Grandma, I really do have work to do,” she explained.

Julia sighed pitifully, “I haven’t even finished dinner. Do you have to leave now?”

Elisa couldn’t say anything else. She sat down heavily.

A smile lit up on Julia’s face. “That’s right. You’ll always have work to do. You should stop working once

office hours are done. I’ll have your back if Gareth makes you work overtime!”

Julia took Elisa’s silence as consent.

She turned and shouted to a maid, “Make a new plate for Elisa.”

The muscles on Elisa’s face tightened.

“Grandma, I can’t eat anymore.”

“Nonsense! You eat too little. You didn’t even have half a plate. Eat with me.”

The maid heeded Julia’s orders and brought a new plate heaped with food for Elisa.

Elisa stared at the food in front of her and felt a headache coming.

At the same time, Julia was all smiles. “Elisa, I know you went through a lot of pain and lost all feelings

for him. All that pain turned into disappointment, and you’ve given up. Since he’s ready to right the

situation, maybe you should give him another chance? Will Darcey is too much of a player; he is not

good for you. Besides, you should listen to your elders. The original lover is the sweetest.”

Elisa’s eyes glinted. I knew Grandma had a plan for us to get back together. But there is no way. We

don’t have any feelings for each other anymore. Even if we get back together, it would be a marriage of

convenience that benefits both of us. I don’t care about that, though. I don’t want to be involved with

Gareth anymore. I will break all ties with Gareth Wickam once I’m done with this project.

Julia realized Elisa had been quiet for a while and had a far-off look in her eyes. “Elisa, is there…

another guy?” She asked worriedly.

Elisa smiled and avoided the question. Instead, she said, “Grandma, I won’t remarry him.”

In that instance, many emotions went past Julia’s eyes. “Ah… you might say that now, but things

change over time,” she said, exasperated.
