We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

The greater show unfolded after dinner. Julia insisted that since the couple was pretending to reconcile, they should start adapting to their roles. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if they were exposed later. Her intention was to have them sleep in the same room.

Gareth opposed immediately. "That's inappropriate. We're just pretending to get back together."

There was a sudden change in Julia's expression. She glanced at Elisa. Perceiving Elisa's silence, she said, "You brat, Elisa hasn't said anything. Who are you to oppose? All other rooms are locked. You have no choice but to stay in the same room. If you're reluctant, you can sleep in the dog kennel!"

Elisa was dumbfounded to be suddenly cued by Julia. She didn't speak up just now because she believed Gareth could handle the situation. Little did she expect him to be this unreliable.

Julia looked at Elisa with a gentle expression and spoke softly as if she was afraid of intimidating her. "Just let the housekeeper know if there's anything you need. I'm old and can't afford to go to bed late. Goodnight then."

With that, Elisa watched Julia gleefully ascending the stairs. The latter looked energetic and didn't look unwell at all.

Elisa only retracted her gaze after Julia disappeared from her sight.

"Why didn't you insist just now? Do you really want to sleep in the same room with me?"

Gareth put on a mischievous smile and stared fixedly at Elisa as if he wanted to see through her. They were standing in such close proximity that their lips were inches away.
