We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Grandma left happily with Thomas after listening to Gareth's promises.

It didn't matter how much Elisa hated it. She couldn't change a thing about it.

Unfortunately, she wasn't cold enough to see it through.

Besides, it was also agreed upon.

As long as Grandma was safely recuperating in the hospital, she was happy to attend the wedding with Gareth.

However, some things must be said, no matter how difficult they were to hear.

Elisa looked Gareth straight in the face and said, "When the tabloids start spreading the news about the two of us, you'll have to squash it immediately. I'm doing you a favor, so you need to make sure this doesn't go any further. I would also like you to clarify that there's nothing between us."

There was no hint of humor in her voice.

Gareth knew she was furious for having to do this.

But he also knew she would compromise for his grandmother's sake.

However, he did not expect her to draw such a clear line between them.

He couldn't help but wonder how she would react if it were a scandal with someone else.

Before he knew what he was doing, Gareth blurted out the question.

"Elisa, what would you do if you were involved in a scandal with Will Darcey or Eden?"

Gareth turned to her.

His eyes were dark and unfathomable,

Elisa, "?"

She frowned, confused by his question.

Taking in Gareth's curious expression, Elisa pursed her lips and pondered his question. It took her a while to answer him.

"Why would I spend time thinking about something that would probably never happen? Even if we were involved in a scandal, and if it significantly affected my livelihood, I could handle it alone. And more importantly, this has nothing to do with you."

Elisa hit the nail on the head.

Gareth's heart sank when he heard the words 'nothing to do with you'.

It upset him.

He had never been surer of how he felt.

Before Gareth could say anything else, Elisa spun on her heel and left.

The next time they met was at four in the morning the next day.

The Medicine Market was just opening up.

Elisa assumed she had to wake Gareth up, but his inky dark eyes greeted her when she opened the door.

She noticed his eyes were bloodshot.

He also looked tired.

"Did you not sleep at all last night?" Elisa asked.

"Yeah." Gareth nodded.

Gareth had felt unsettled ever since she walked away from him.

Even smoking an entire pack of cigarettes had done nothing to calm his restlessness.

The next thing he knew, it was early morning, and time for them to go to the morning market.
