We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

---

After Gareth got off the phone, Elisa started cleaning a room for him.

Elisa initially wanted him to stay in a spacious room. That way, he wouldn't knock or bump into anything. Furthermore, she feared the pampered and spoiled Mr. Wickam wouldn't like staying in a small room.

But the bigger room was further from her room. This wasn't important to Elisa. In fact, it was good news. They wouldn't disturb each other and would be left in peace.

But Gareth refused.

He said that she wouldn't immediately know if he was feeling unwell if he was too far away.

Elisa was slightly dumbstruck. What can happen?

"It's not like your illness needs to be observed. What can happen?" Elisa folded her arms around her chest and looked at Gareth calmly. She wanted to hear what excuses he came up with.

Gareth didn't come up with any excuse. He just said he wanted to sleep in that room.

Although Elisa disapproved, it wasn't important. He wanted to be closer to her, so she did as he wanted.

Therefore, as Gareth had wanted, he got the room next to Elisa's. Only a wall would separate them as they slept at night.

Of course, Elisa didn't know that Gareth wished the wall between them didn't exist. Otherwise, she would have chased him out of the house.

After deciding on the room with some difficulty, Elisa rolled up her sleeves and was about to clean the room.

She was just about to start when she was called.

"What other instructions do you have, Mr. Wickam?" Elisa's voice was somewhat frustrated, but she wasn't impatient yet. She just felt that she had invited unnecessary trouble for herself.

Gareth cleared his throat. "As a man, Thomas won't have thought of all my daily necessities. Can you come with me to buy some as backup? Just the nearby supermarket will do. We don't have to go too far."

Thomas would have felt very aggrieved if he heard it. It was an insult to question his skills!

At the same time, Elisa clearly didn't quite believe him. She looked at Gareth suspiciously. It was as though she was saying, do you think I'm a fool?

Just as Gareth was about to say something, Elisa said, "Let's go later. I need to clean the room now."

Gareth shook his head and stopped her. He said thoughtfully, "I've troubled you greatly by staying here. How can I let you clean the room? Thomas will come and clean it. Buying my essentials are more important…"

Elisa was amused. So Mr. Wickam knows he's being a bother.

But since he had said such a thing, Elisa didn't turn him down. She would obviously be happy with someone else cleaning. Between going to the supermarket and cleaning, she would choose the former, especially when someone else was footing the bill, so she agreed.
