Grandma left happily with Thomas after listening to Gareth's promises.

It didn't matter how much Elisa hated it. She couldn't change a thing about it.

Unfortunately, she wasn't cold enough to see it through.

Besides, it was also agreed upon.

As long as Grandma was safely recuperating in the hospital, she was happy to attend the wedding with Gareth.

However, some things must be said, no matter how difficult they were to hear.

Elisa looked Gareth straight in the face and said, "When the tabloids start spreading the news about the two of us, you'll have to squash it immediately. I'm doing you a favor, so you need to make sure this doesn't go any further. I would also like you to clarify that there's nothing between us."

Gareth knew she was furious for having to do this.

But he also knew she would compromise for his grandmother's sake.

However, he did not expect her to draw such a clear line between them.

He couldn't help but wonder how she would react if it were a scandal with someone else.
