Chapter 786

Elisa didn’t feel like sitting at the back this time, so she sat in the passenger’s seat.

Gareth’s cold expression darkened.

This was a long and difficult trek. Elisa closed her eyes after getting into the car, preparing to sleep.

But her cell phone vibrated, and she looked at it.

It was from the group chat between her, Rachel, and Sheena.

— Rachel: ‘Elisa, are you already with Gareth?’

Surprise streaked across Elisa’s eyes. Who saw them together? Did someone tweet about it?

— Elisa: ‘Yes.’

— Sheena: ‘Why are you together? Is it for work?’

— Elisa: ‘Yes. We’re going to Phoenix Bridge today because we have some matters to deal with.’

— Sheena: ‘Phoenix Bridge? That’s so far away. Are you alone with Gareth?’

— Rachel: ‘D*mn! It’s true! That jerk didn’t lie!’

After that, Rachel sent a picture of herself looking scornful.

— Sheena: ‘???’

— Elisa: ‘???’

— Elisa: ‘Thomas is here as well.’



Elisa kept typing on her cell phone. From her position, Gareth couldn’t see the contents of her cell

phone.

Gareth raised his hands and massaged his temples.

In the end, he reclined in the backseat as he shut his eyes to relax.

But… Thomas could clearly feel waves of cold air attacking him from the back. It made him want to

increase the temperature in the car.

On the other hand, Elisa was still typing.

— Elisa: ‘Vincent?’

— Rachel: ‘Mm. Let’s talk later. I have to do some work.’

— Sheena: ‘Go ahead. Liz, you won’t be coming back tonight, will you?’

— Elisa: ‘I don’t think so. It’ll be dark by the time we reach, so we won’t be able to do anything. We

should only be inspecting tomorrow in the day.’

— Sheena: ‘Ah, it’s a great resort, but Gareth is with you. You don’t have the time to enjoy yourself

either… You have to be careful. It’s a slightly rough area.’

— Elisa: ‘Mm. I understand. Don’t worry. I’m going to sleep for a while. You should rest too.’

— Sheena: ‘Okay.’

Just like that, the group quietened down again. Elisa put her cell phone down and closed her eyes to

relax.

The car was hushed without Vincent around. Elisa fell asleep unwittingly.



She woke up when Thomas stopped to refuel on the way.

She looked around and glanced at her cell phone. It was four in the afternoon. They were going to

reach in about an hour.

Thomas got into the car and put on his seat belt before he started driving again.

There was radio silence in the car, but Elisa had slept for a few hours, so she couldn’t sleep anymore.

She unlocked her cell phone and scrolled through Twitter. Everything was quite normal on Twitter

today. She really didn’t want to be a trending topic again.

Gareth opened his eyes when there was movement from Elisa.

As he watched her scroll her cell phone in a bored manner, the wrinkle in his brows seemed to have

tightened.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Elisa turned and glanced at him.

Both their eyes happened to meet.

Elisa was slightly startled, but at the next moment, she said calmly, “Can we return tomorrow?”

The iciness around Gareth grew. His cold voice made its way into her ears. “We’ll return once we’re

done with work. I don’t want to stay a moment longer with you either.”

Elisa was dumbfounded.

She was used to Gareth being like that in the three years they were married.
