She wasn't as bad as he thought. It was all just a misunderstanding.

She was a multifaceted person—one he had never taken the time to understand truly.

His heart sank.

At that moment, he realized why she had so much to discuss with Will.

Will's attention was always directed towards Elisa; his words were accompanied by a warm and gentle smile.

It's natural for women to be attracted to someone who is affectionate and caring rather than someone cold and distant.

What did this mean? Would Elisa choose Will?

Gareth felt a tumultuous current surge within his chest, as if it was about to rip his heart open.

Thomas felt a heavy weight of guilt as Gareth looked solemn.

"Should I apologize to Miss Benett directly?"

Being honest was the best choice, even though it had the potential to create tension between her and Will.


"No," Gareth opposed.

"But…"

"Forget about it. Let's go"

Seeing his hesitation, Gareth motioned for Thomas to speak.

"Are we really leaving already? Mr. Wickham, aren't we waiting for Miss Benett?"

Gareth mumbled "no" under his breath.

He feared seeing Elisa walking out of the restaurant with Will, hand in hand.

Thomas complied without further words.

As for Elisa...

Thomas' tearful voice still echoed in Elisa's ears after hanging up.

Will spoke up as Elisa was about to leave.

"You always prioritize anyone part of Gareth's circle, Liz."

Elisa's memory was triggered at the mention of Gareth's name.

Both Thomas and Gareth were now downstairs.

It was precisely the reason she had doubted them in the first place.

"It's not just about Gareth; I am also concerned about the friendship," Elisa murmured.

Will sighed, "You still love Gareth."

Love was the greatest force.
