No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1847 Ambiguous Atmosphere

Gareth's pause caught the attention of a nearby salesperson who saw an opportunity. Assuming a friendly demeanor, the salesperson approached him and asked, "Are you shopping for your girlfriend, sir?"

After a moment, Gareth shook his head and responded, "No, it's for my wife."

The salesperson smiled and quipped, "Your wife must've felt pretty lucky to have you."

Gareth didn't respond, and the vibe in the air got a little awkward.

The salesperson didn't give up, keeping his pitch alive, "You should check out these everyday items. They can really jazz up a couple's happiness game. Just picture it— soft morning light caressing her face as you stand by the bathroom sink, squeezing toothpaste for her..."

Unexpectedly, the salesperson's words resonated with Gareth. When he reached the checkout, the top of his shopping cart was loaded with items crafted for couples.

Once he got home, he unpacked his purchases and headed to the kitchen, rolling his sleeves to start dinner. Time ticked from five o'clock to seven, causing the food to shift between piping hot and cooling down.

Gareth patiently waited, watching as the sun gradually dipped below the horizon. Finally, the door opened around fifteen minutes past seven in the evening, revealing Elisa's presence.
