We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Freedom at Last
Gareth walked outside without a single word, but Monica pulled his arm, stopping him in his steps.
“Gareth.”
“Yes?”
“Are you really going to proceed with the divorce?”
Gareth looked at her calmly. “It was a bombastic piece of news today. If I don’t proceed with it, I’ll be the laughing stock of the entire city. How can I carry on with business after that?”
Monica’s face darkened. “So you have to give up on this project.”
Gareth snorted coldly. “And Will will get all the benefits without doing anything.”
Even though the project had nothing to do with the relationship between Gareth and Elisa, Gareth did not have a good reputation before this. If he was to go through a divorce at this time, other people would speculate his abilities and integrity.
However, Will was different; even though he fooled around, he was still single.

On the other hand, anyone could tell that Linda was the cause of their divorce.
It was one thing to be sleeping around when one was single, but an entirely different matter when one cheated on their partner in marriage.
Monica gritted her teeth resentfully. “Damn it, Elisa! No, this thing can’t be settled like this! I–”
“Mom,” Gareth interrupted coldly in a low voice after seeing that Monica was about to continue speaking. “Just let this matter slide for now. Having one less project wouldn’t hurt our business anyway, and even if I get divorced, it doesn’t mean I will lose to Will.”
She opened her mouth wordlessly. Though she might sometimes be quite full of herself, she always listened to her son’s instructions. After seeing that he had made up his mind, she also decided not to pester Elisa any further.
“I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll say goodbye for now.”
Looking at his leaving figure, Monica held a grudge against Elisa.
…
Meanwhile, it was already 10 PM when Elisa reached home.
After packing up some stuff, she lay in her bed.
Perhaps it was because she had something important to attend to that she kept tossing around in bed.
Just when she was half-asleep, the alarm clock rang.
She opened her eyes groggily with a slight throbbing of pain in her head.
Because of that, she shut her eyes for a bit longer before getting of bed.
Then, she went on with her daily routine – brushed up, had breakfast, put on makeup, and changed, with nothing amiss. By the time she walked out of the door, she was already the exquisitely dressed Elisa.
The dark circles under her eyes had already been hidden by her concealer.
