Chapter 76

Fate just had other plans." Mr. Wickam mirrored her with a disagreeing shake of his head. "My dear Elisa, fate destined you two to be in each other's lives" he refuted.

Elisa paused at Mr. Wickam's statement. Is this his true intention? To make me and Gareth reconcile?

"Elisa Benett. You were, and still are, the love of Gareth's life", he contested.

Mr. Wickam shook again in disagreement. "No, Liz, listen to me. I'm not lying to you."
