We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 1548 Stammering

The supposedly romantic dinner turned into a culinary nightmare for Gareth as he found fault with every dish. Each bite triggered his picky taste buds, leading him to dissect and critique every aspect of the meal.

"This mackerel is so salty! Is this even edible?"

"Has this salmon been dead for ages? It tastes awful."

"This steak is way too overcooked."

Elisa remained silent, quietly enduring his barrage of complaints, unable to fathom what had gone wrong.

"Why would they assume we wanted a couple's meal? It's like they didn't even consider the possibility that we're not a couple," Gareth remarked, crossing his arms and wearing an annoyed expression. "And to make things worse, the dinner tastes absolutely horrible," he added, placing his knife and fork down with a dissatisfied shake.

Is this the reason why he's so frustrated?

Elisa couldn't help but wonder if Gareth's discontent stemmed from sharing a couple's room with her, leaving her with an inexplicable sense of unease.

"If you're not happy staying here, you can go. This room wasn't booked for you, anyway," Elisa said with a slightly strained tone.

Gareth arched an eyebrow, suppressing his anger despite feeling deeply unsettled.

"Hah. You've got a lot of other men to consider. I get it."

Before Elisa could say anything, Gareth abruptly rose, snatched the nearby napkin, wiped his hands, and flung it onto the table in frustration. He spun on his heel and stormed off.

Elisa was caught off guard by his response. Why did it concern him whether she had someone else in mind to share this room with? How irritating!

Just a moment, then Gareth turned around and looked at her.

Elisa was aware but chose to ignore him. However, Gareth walked over and stood before Elisa.

"What's the matter?" Elisa furrowed.

"Mm," Gareth's response was light, yet his gaze made Elisa furrow her brows.

"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Did you aggravate your injury and reopen the wound? Is that what happened?"

Suddenly, Elisa remembered that Gareth had been carrying many things at the Medicine Market today. Although they were all medicinal herbs, the weight was substantial when combined. Elisa restrained her temper, recalling he shielded her from the gunshots.

After a while, Gareth said slowly, "Come with me."

There was a hint of solemnity in his gaze. Aware of the time and considering his wounds and the early market visit the next day, Elisa wasn't keen to accompany him.
