Chapter 354 Hard of Hearing
Jerry did not know what to say.
But Julia looked at her son and frowned. “Can’t you smile more obviously?”
Jerry was rendered speechless.
He frowned helplessly. “Mom, you have seen what happened. We can’t force something like this to go our way.”
In the end, he did not wish to lie to his mother.
“Your grandson has his own way of life. Sometimes, it is pointless to worry about him. You know what Gareth is like. No one can control him.”
Still, Julia could not help but worry for Gareth. “By the time he knows how good Elisa is to him, I fear it will be too late to get her back.”
Jerry sighed but did not say anything.
Then, Julia said softly, “There’s no need to worry about my health. You also don’t have to travel all the way here to see me. I have resolved my emotional conflict, so don’t worry. I will also take my medicine on time. Moreover, I’m much healthier now than before.”
Jerry nodded and looked at Julia. “Gareth will regret his actions one day. You must wait patiently to see the day Gareth finally feels regret and pursues Liz again.”
Julia nodded. She seemed both angry and in anticipation. “That’s right. I must wait for that day. I think this brat is too full of himself. I can’t wait to see him cry one day!”
Jerry cleared his throat and was rendered speechless by his mother’s words. At the same time, he understood she was worried about Gareth.
…
Meanwhile, at the banquet, Gareth finished talking to Thomas and began searching around for Elisa. When he found her sitting opposite Nichole, he frowned and rushed there.
Elisa and Nicole seemed to be getting along. Nicole looked up and saw Gareth coming over. Her eyes flashed, and she smiled at him, “Mr. Gareth, it’s been a long time.”
Gareth nodded slightly but did not say anything to Nicole, causing her gaze to dull slightly.
Elisa looked up at Gareth and frowned. Why did he come here?
I’m resting now. He can remain in other places and stay away from me. There’s no need to act like a couple now.
Gareth looked at Elisa. “How much longer are you going to rest?”
“My feet are sore. The stilettos are too high.”
It meant she did not wish to move. If he wanted to negotiate collaboration with other companies, he should meet them on his own as they did not concern her.
Gareth had chosen her shoes.
His eyes widened slightly, and he looked toward her feet. However, he could not see anything because her evening gown hid them.
Then, his eyes flashed coldly, but he put on a calm demeanor. “Bear with it for now. We will leave after we finish negotiating a few projects.”
Elisa’s frown deepened. This scoundrel is taking his chance while my feet are sore. He is still trying to drag me around.
But Nicole was here, so he had to behave like a gentleman. Seeing that, Elisa smiled and said, “Mr. Wickam, I believe with your capabilities, you don’t need me to negotiate anything. My presence will only cause you trouble, and my feet hurt a lot. Can you go by yourself?”
Elisa gradually turned to Nicole as she spoke. “You seem close with Ms. Tabor. Perhaps you two should walk around together.”
Nicole was stunned and looked at Elisa with a surprised expression.
Gareth furrowed his brow quietly. Nicole noticed this and replied with a laugh. “I’ll skip this out as I still have other matters to deal with. Anyway, I came here to rest my feet for a while. It’s quite tiring to walk around in high heel shoes.”
Elisa saw Gareth’s cold expression and smiled at him. Her gaze seemed to be saying: Did you hear that? Ms. Tabor fears you are hard of hearing and reminded you that high heel shoes are tiring.novelbin
