Chapter 1823 Grateful

She subtly tried to inch away, but there was barely any space between them. She knew this was her way of silently rejecting his advances, but she didn't want to make a scene.

Gareth was slightly disappointed but quickly regained his composure and acted as if nothing had happened.

"The police are still gathering more information from Bella. I know you want to stay with her tonight, but I don't want you to sleep here. I booked a room for you at a hotel nearby. I'll ask the officers to take you there."

Elisa looked reluctant.

"It's only a mile away. I booked two rooms. If we're needed here, we can come back together. If you stay in the waiting room here, you'll catch a cold," Gareth explained in a deep and concerned voice.

Elisa hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.

"Thank you," she muttered softly. She turned around and headed towards the rest area to wake Bella up.

Gareth's voice rang out behind her.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Elisa didn't respond as she opened the door to the resting area.

Gareth let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Elisa would refuse his offer. He knew she was a strong-willed woman; once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.

He booked a presidential suite with two rooms opposite each other.

Bella slept in the same room as Elisa. They fell asleep quickly.

Gareth couldn't help but sigh, thinking how much better it would have been if they were at Wickam Manor.

The night passed quietly.

The following day, Gareth sent Elisa and Bella back to the police station.

After a good night's sleep, Bella looked much better than before. She was no longer panicking at the slightest movement.

Bella was able to recover quickly from her anxious breakdowns thanks to Elisa's comforting presence by her side throughout the day. She was also a mentally resilient person by nature.

Gareth had work to attend to at the office, so he took a taxi to Wickam Group after accompanying Bella and Elisa to the police station. It was a rare sight for his employees to see him taking a taxi.
