Chapter 68 It Was Never a Joke
Though he spoke nonchalantly, he was obviously serious, giving a deadly warning to them.
Shirley, who had been giving Elisa the most trouble, immediately lost her cool. Blood drained from her face as she looked at Elisa, but the latter did not even spare her a glance.
Meanwhile, Gareth looked at Will coldly. “How impressive, Mr. Darcey.”
Will arched his eyebrows. “It’s most natural to protect the woman you love. I’m sure you’ll understand the feeling, since you have Liz’s cousin now.”
Linda’s eyes flashed at Gareth subconsciously, but she noticed that he remained silent.
Elisa no longer wanted to see them, so she asked the waitress politely, “Can you bring us to our seats?”
She returned to her senses and quickly replied, “Oh, sure…”
Smiling at them, Will said, “Excuse us.”

With that, he followed Elisa and went to the private room he had booked.
Linda slightly lost her cool. Looking at the way Gareth stared at Elisa, she asked, “Gareth…”
He pulled a long face without uttering a word. Shirley and the rest of them did not dare to say anything, and they even had the urge to leave.
Suddenly, his phone rang, breaking the tense atmosphere. After picking it up, he looked at Linda and said, “You guys go ahead with lunch first. I suddenly need to settle some issues.”
With that, he left in large strides.
Linda felt slightly humiliated. Usually, even if he had any important matters, he would reject them or discuss with her about their next date. At the very least, he would wait for her reply, and if she played the pity card, he would not leave.
Yet, he immediately left without caring about her feelings, making Linda grit her teeth, but she could not make a single complaint. His leave was like a huge slap to her face that hurt a lot.

On the other hand, Elisa and Will were seated in a private room. After the waitress served their meals, she immediately started eating casually, not giving an ounce of care if Will was a popular figure or not, and not minding if he would be disgusted by her eating manners.
Nevertheless, he liked her this way. It was true that he had interacted with many women before, but he was not as frivolous as the rumors made him to be. Until now, he had never slept with any of them.
He was just putting on a show.
Regardless, Elisa did not care about that, and she did not mind at all.
Halfway through the meal, she finally looked at him, arching her eyebrows as she did so, for he had not eaten anything. “We’ve had meals together several times before this, but you don’t really eat much, do you?”
He sighed wistfully. “Because this is not your cooking. It’s not that delicious.”
