Chapter 224
Elisa nodded. “Sure, let’s have that. It’s been a while since I last had pælla.”
“Yay!” Rachel was exceptionally excited on this day. “Though you’re even with Gareth, your results are
perfect! Isn’t it so, Carle?”
He nodded with a smile. “Indeed. Without Elisa, it’d be difficult for me to take over the company.
Thanks again.”
His deep and adoring gaze made her slightly uncomfortable. She averted her eyes and smiled. “Don’t
mention it. We are friends, after all. Please don’t be so formal.”
Carle’s gaze faltered. He could tell that she stressed the word ‘friends.‘
But he was not the only one; both Rachel and Sheena heard it as well.

Sheena’s eyes dimmed. If… Elisa is willing to be with Carle, would he feel better?
Even Rachel could not help heaving a sigh. She still hasn’t moved on from her last relationship.
Carle smiled. “I know.”
With that, silence fell in the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The driver had no idea what had just happened. They were just chatting happily just now. What’s going
on?
Meanwhile, Gareth and Vincent were sitting in the backseat of another car. Vincent turned around to
look at Gareth suspiciously. “You seem odd today. Both of you are already divorced, but do you have
feelings for her now?”
When he made such speculations in the past, Gareth would just give a cold snort. It was no exception
this time around.
He merely glanced at Vincent coldly with contempt in his eyes.
Vincent’s mouth twitched. “You’re going to destroy yourself sooner or later. Things will be more
complicated if you don’t end things for good,” he warned exasperatedly.
“Shut up.” Gareth frowned, leaving Vincent speechless.
Both of them are fiercely competing with each other; there’s simply no way for them to be together
again. But Gareth is acting weird. Could it be that he hasn’t noticed his feelings for her? Or, have Jeremy and I worried too much?
The car was still moving forward slowly as Vincent looked at Gareth again. “I’m reaching home soon.
Are you dropping by for a drink? Otherwise, I’ll just leave.”
“Just leave.”
Upon hearing that, Vincent’s face darkened. “Damn! Would it hurt you to say more words?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGareth was still pulling a long face, and he did not give a reply.
Vincent immediately said pitifully, “I ditched a woman in order to join the race with you, you know! In the
end, I didn’t make myself useful, but I gave up on the happiness with a woman, only to see your
grumpy face. Why did I even bother?”
This time around, Gareth finally lifted his face to look at him. “If you don’t like her, don’t toy with her
feelings. One day when you meet the woman you truly love, do you think your behavior right now is
appropriate?”
“Tsk! Women are like clothes – we can change them anytime we like. They are here to make us feel
less bored, aren’t they?”
Gareth frowned, obviously not agreeing with his perspective, but he could not be bothered to retort.
Vincent remembered something and smiled at Gareth. “If it weren’t for Jeremy, who’s convinced that
you have feelings for Elisa, I wouldn’t even think of it. Since you are so sure of your thoughts, I have a
piece of advice for you – a man with quality will never go back to the same woman. You shouldn’t
reconcile with Elisa.”
