Only that reason was the most convincing.

“This must be a deep-seated sentiment, right? Only that could make the rational Elisa despise a stranger who saved her life,” Rachel said with a sour tone.

Even though Gareth risked his own safety to save Elisa, he ultimately played a part in provoking Mr. Carrerra.

He was merely making amends for his mistakes, so there was nothing worth praising about his action.

Therefore, Rachel still disagreed with the two of them being together.

Rachel was a bit annoyed. She remembered that Elisa had previously said she didn't like him, yet now she was doing that.

She added sarcastically, “You're not jealous, are you?”

At the doorway, Kaylee, who was about to enter, paused in her steps. The expression on her face gave much food for thought.


Elisa frowned, not in the slightest bit of a mood to joke around. “You're overthinking it. That's not the reason.”

Seeing Elisa so serious, Rachel also sat down, peeling an apple for her while asking, “What's the reason, then?”

Elisa said, “I always feel that Kaylee's gaze gives me an uncomfortable feeling, especially when I smell her fragrance. It makes my head feel dizzy.” As Elisa spoke, she turned to Rachel for confirmation. “Don't you feel the same way? Or did you notice anything strange about her?”

Rachel shook her head, then nodded.

“Now that you mention it, it seems to jog my memory. Ever since Gareth brought her back, I've had little contact with her. But there was this one time I saw her alone under the moonlight, fiddling with something and mumbling to herself. She was muttering under her breath in a bizarre manner, kind of like a sorcerer in a TV show!” Rachel clapped her hands. “Yes! That's right. A sorcerer.”

Upon hearing that, Elisa didn't continue speaking. What Rachel said was somewhat beyond her expectations.

The two fell into a silence.

Right then, Kaylee walked in.

“Oh, Elisa, Rachel, you're both here?” She smiled sweetly and naively.

Elisa nodded indifferently, not showing much warmth toward Kaylee.

Kaylee seemed oblivious. She affectionately held Elisa's hand and said, “Elisa, here's the thing. Can I stay at your place after I follow you out of here?”

Seemingly aware that she was being a bit abrupt, Kaylee smiled and explained, “Here's the thing. I must stay with Gareth. But now that Gareth is living with you, could I possibly live with you guys too?”

After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Elisa would disagree, she quickly assured her, “I can clean, cook, and do anything, as long as you don't mind... Is that okay, Elisa?”
