We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Norman knew Elisa had already found the Lynch family, so he set his sights on luring them into his trap.

Seeing Elisa's firm rejection, Mr. Lynch knew not to push his luck. He didn't want to upset her and risk losing her help.

He was aware of her boundaries and knew that he had to tread carefully.

Soon after, Elisa left with Gareth.

"I need to return to the hotel to get my things," she said. "We're headed in different directions, so we'll have to part ways."

Elisa pressed her lips into a thin line, her eyes reflecting a determined glint.

Gareth's eyebrows rose in surprise. "How is that in a different direction? Aren't we both staying at the hotel?"

Elisa pursed her lips into a pout. "I'm heading back to get my things. Why are you going there? I'll just go straight home after I get my things," she responded, baffled by his comment.

"I don't think that will be feasible," Gareth quickly interjected.

Elisa's eyebrows knotted with annoyance.

"Why?" she asked ruefully.

"Grandma asked us to return home. Did you forget why we came here?"

He spoke slowly, enunciating his words clearly. Elisa kept silent as thoughts flooded her mind.

Her uncle Winslow and Rachel's words echoed in her ears.

You're already divorced. Why do you keep meddling with each other's personal affairs?

She took a deep breath and spoke, "Can't you just take the medicine back? I'll let you know how to use it. I have other things to attend to, so I won't return to Wickam Manor today. And I won't be staying over there from now on."

'Cough.'

She drew a clear line between them, but Gareth's cough interrupted her.

Gareth's grimaced, and his eyes were dull and lifeless. "I'm already in such a terrible state," he said, his voice hoarse. "And I'm afraid for Grandma's situation as well. Unless... you have a date tonight?"

"Yes, I'm meeting with Will."

Elisa answered him without hesitation, even though she hadn't planned on going out with Will.

She didn't bother to correct Gareth's assumption. After all, he was the one who had prompted her.

And she knew that mentioning Will would get him to stop pestering her.

Sure enough, Gareth's eyes turned cold at the mention of Will's name.

"Elisa, you don't have to do this." He lowered his voice even further as if to emphasize the gravity of his words.

"Am I lying to you about my appointment with Will?" Elisa was baffled by his accusation. "Do you want me to call him to prove it to you right now? Or would you like to tag along?

Gareth's features tightened when he heard her response. He clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes but said nothing.
