Chapter 1683 You Don’t Have the Right

The events that followed did not involve Elisa or Gareth, so it was time for them to head back home.

"I haven't had a chance to thank you properly, and now you're already on your way back home," Bella said, her eyes glassy with emotion as she held onto Elisa's hand.

"I came to attend a wedding, but I got to witness the growth of a young and brave woman as she ditched a man who didn't deserve her. I'll have to tell Grandma about this," Elisa said, her lips curving into a warm smile.

Bella nodded incessantly, staring at Elisa. "Elisa, please help me tell Grandma that I really miss her. Once everything is settled here, I'll make sure to visit her."

"It's a promise, then," Elisa answered, chuckling softly.

"I promise."



Elisa was plagued by a whirlwind of negative thoughts as they were on the plane to head back home.

Gareth attempted to speak with her on multiple occasions, but she did not respond. Gareth's forehead furrowed as he looked at Elisa, who appeared drowsy. Suddenly, he reached out and took hold of her hands.

Despite Elisa's attempts to pull her hands away forcefully, he was too strong for her. She opened her eyes and gave him a surly glare without saying a word.

"Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Gareth asked in his deep, gravelly voice.

Baffled by his comment, Elisa wryly replied, "Throwing a tantrum?"

Seeing how Gareth silently stared at her with an icy cold stare, she sneered, "How could I throw a tantrum at you, Mr. Wickam?"

Gareth's heart raced as he tried to understand Elisa's cold attitude towards him. He didn't know what he had done to make her so distant.

After a short pause, his eyes widened in realization. "I'm not the same as Luke," he assured, his brows furrowed. "I didn't have anything going on with Linda."

Gareth knew that Elisa was reminded of her own pain and was hurt by what had happened at Bella's wedding.

Gareth regretted taking Elisa to the wedding. It had been a mistake to put her in that situation.

Furthermore, their relationship didn't have a chance to blossom, even though Gareth hoped it would.

To make matters worse, Elisa didn't want to see him anymore.

Elisa couldn't help but snicker. "What does your relationship with Linda have to do with me?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. "Don't you think you're being delusional?"

Tumultuous emotions stirred within her heart, and Gareth's words had only served to rub salt in the wound. He must have been out of his mind to bring up the past at a time like this.

"I'm sorry."

Elisa's eyes bulged, startled by the sudden apology.

Gareth realized his mistake when he saw Elisa's distressed and aloof tone. He hadn't meant to bring up the past, and he quickly apologized. "It was my fault for speaking so carelessly," he muttered. "Please don't take it to heart. I only wanted you to know that I'm in no way similar to Luke."
