Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Julia’s face was cold, and she didn’t look at him Elisa and Gareth glanced at Julia at the same time. Elisa asked, “What happened?”

Elisa held Julia’s wrist and inadvertently placed her fingers on Julia’s pulse.

Julia patted the back of Elisa’s hand, and her rage dissipated. She looked at Elisa lovingly. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”

In the end, Elisa nodded, and her grip loosened, but she didn’t let go of Julia’s hand. She smiled and said, “Alright. That’s good.”

Gareth looked at Julia. “Why is your heart feeling uncomfortable? Are you not sleeping well?”

Julia glanced crossly at Darren at the side, who had already cooled down. She said in an annoyed manner, “It’s because your Grandpa infuriates me!”

Darren felt wronged at once, but he stared blankly and didn’t dare to retort.

At that moment, he was utterly different from his forceful self.

Elisa was slightly amused but didn’t say anything. Otherwise, Old Mr. Wickam would lose his temper.

Gareth’s gaze fell on Darren. “Were you being stubborn? Did this annoy Grandma?”

Darren immediately frowned uneasily. “No!”

He hadn’t corrected what his wife had said, but he couldn’t ignore Gareth’s questions.

Gareth furrowed his brows and looked at him coldly. “You’re only digging your grave by being too stubborn.”

Gareth didn’t say anything else.

But Elisa’s gaze fell on Gareth. Is Gareth worthy of saying such words?

He was also very stubborn.

The same blood ran in the Wickam family.

But Gareth’s dad wasn’t like Old Mr. Wickam.

After that, Old Mr. Wickam looked at them coldly. “Get lost! Don’t stay around and be a bother!”

Since Old Mr. Wickam was home, Elisa didn’t plan on staying long. She looked at Julia and smiled. “Grandma, it’s getting late.

I’m going to go.”

Julia nodded and smiled. “Alright. You can go. Come again when you’re free.”

Elisa smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

She had driven over and planned to go home with her car, but Julia didn’t let her. Julia insisted on someone sending her back.

In the end, Julia was only relieved when Gareth decided to drive Elisa’s car and send her home.

Elisa was exasperated and slightly restless, but Gareth ignored her and drove.

After a moment, Gareth’s gaze fell on Elisa. “What I said at the dining table just now.”

He paused.

Elisa was slightly surprised. What did he say?

It must have been when he said she was his woman and would protect her.

Elisa turned to look at him indifferently, and her expression was calm. “You don’t have to explain because I didn’t take it seriously.

I know you only said it to make Grandma happy.”

Gareth furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, “You’re not me. How would you know what I meant?”

Elisa’s lips twitched. “You previously warned me not to be deluded.”

Gareth was dumbfounded.

It was the consequences of his actions.

His thin lips pursed tightly, and he had a chilly expression, but he suddenly kept quiet.

Elisa sat in the passenger seat and shut her eyes. She didn’t want to say anything else to Gareth. Meanwhile, Gareth’s expression was cold, and he kept driving, but the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the car.

Elisa didn’t move because it wasn’t her cell phone.

Gareth took out his cell phone and answered the call.
