Gareth didn't say a word as though he intended to ignore her.

Elisa frowned. It seemed like she understood. Perhaps he wants to send me home because he feels it's dangerous at night. What would happen to Grandma if I got into trouble?

Elisa's lips twitched, and she tactfully stopped asking.

On the way, the two didn't say anything. The car only stopped when they arrived at Elisa's house.

Elisa kept quiet. She turned to glance at the man before opening the door of the passenger's seat.

"Let me drive in." Before she could shut the door, the man's voice rang in her ears.

Elisa's hand froze before she could shut the car door. She looked at the man and didn't understand what he was saying for a moment.

Gareth had been facing forward, but because Elisa didn't move, he turned slowly and stared at her with a cold gaze. He repeated, "Let me drive in."

Elisa furrowed her brows. "Are you staying?"

"Didn't you want me not to get too tired?"

Elisa was dumbfounded.

Her brows tightened visibly. It was as though displeasure was intertwined deep in her eyes.

She hadn't wanted Gareth to send her home so he wouldn't tire. But now, this became an excuse for him to stay?

"It's fine. It's not convenient here, so it doesn't matter if you're tired for a while more."

Gareth's expression was calm. "I'm exhausted. This will affect my recovery and the results of the data from the experiment."

Elisa suddenly scoffed. "You're as strong as an ox. That won't happen."

After that, Elisa shut the car door and didn't give Gareth a chance to speak.

Gareth's expression darkened abruptly. He watched as the woman walked ahead without hesitation and ignored him. The veins on his forehead protruded.

Only this woman.

Only this woman!

He shut his eyes and raised his hands to rub the bridge of his nose. After a moment, he turned off the engine and opened the car door before leaving.

The car didn't have to be parked within the courtyard. Gareth didn't care if it went missing.

Elisa heard the noise and immediately turned around. Her brows instantly tightened when she saw the man walk over two steps at a time.

"I said it's not convenient here." She didn't want him to stay at all.

But Gareth ignored her and followed her. Just as Elisa was about to say something else, he suddenly grabbed one of her hands and placed her fingerprint on the door lock.

'Ding'

The door was unlocked.
