We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

“We've already caused you enough trouble during this period. How could we possibly accept your gifts? It should be us showing our respect to you.” Elisa waved her hand, firmly refusing to accept the rings.

However, Mrs. Kella said, “What are you talking about? Surely you don't still consider me an outsider.”

At that point, Mrs. Kella frowned, looking at Elisa with clear disapproval.

Elisa shook her head. “Of course not.”

After she finished her sentence, Mrs. Kella laughed. “In that case, accept these rings.”

Elisa was about to decline, but Gareth stepped in to mediate. “Since it's a gift from Mrs. Kella, you should accept it. After all, didn't you also bring something for her? It's like a fair exchange between you two.”

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Kella burst into hearty laughter. Although the words were somewhat nonchalant, they brought a sense of comfort to both of them.

Upon hearing that, Elisa graciously accepted the rings.

And so, Mrs. Kella slipped a pair of jade rings onto the index fingers of the two individuals.

The jade rings, originally buried and dimmed by time, seemed to regain their vitality as soon as they were worn.

The more Elisa looked at it, the more she liked it. Under the sunlight, the jade ring dazzled and caught the eye.

Mrs. Kella was looking at the jade ring and laughing, but her laughter soon turned into sobs.

“Those jade rings were a token of love that Sodo's grandpa gave me when he was young. They had been stored at the bottom of my chest for all these years. I didn't want to leave them to Sodo out of concern he might sell them, nor did I want the jade rings to never see the light of day and be buried with me. So today, I gave the rings to both of you, hoping that the jade rings can witness your happiness in my stead.”

Mrs. Kella spoke at length, her eyes lingering on the two of them, reluctant to part.

Everyone knew in their hearts that after that meeting, it was uncertain when the next one would be.

A subtle air of sadness spread, leaving one at a loss for words.

Elisa looked at Mrs. Kella, promising that when she had time, she would come to relax and visit her with Gareth.

Mrs. Kella held back her tears, showing no insistence, only managing to nod vigorously.

Even someone as composed as Mrs. Kella would retreat when faced with familial affection.

The room had become unbearable to stay in. Every time Mrs. Kella saw the two of them, she couldn't help but think of the future, and tears would uncontrollably stream down her face.

After soothing Mrs. Kella, Elisa and Gareth decided to get some fresh air in the courtyard, quietly awaiting the arrival of the farewell party in the evening.

At that moment, Anna came looking for them.

Her face was flushed, and she lowered her head, much like the first time she met Gareth.

But that time, it wasn't Gareth who made her blush. Instead, it was Elisa.
