Chapter 255 We Have Plenty of Time

“Did I come at the wrong time?”

Gareth did not close the door when he came here, so when Elisa arrived, she immediately saw Gareth

and Linda intimately close.

Linda’s expression froze, but she soon put on a smile and said, “Elisa, you’re here. Please come in!”

She looked at Elisa defensively and wondered how much of their conversation did she hear. Linda was

unable to argue for herself during the banquet. If Elisa contradicted Linda again, Linda’s image would

be completely ruined.

Gareth turned to Elisa with a stern gaze. His gaze seemed to contain conflicting emotions.

Elisa pursed her lips. Naturally, she heard Linda and Gareth’s conversation about the banquet.

However, she did not care what Gareth thought about it and had no plan to bring up the matter.

She glanced at Gareth and smiled. “Mr. Wickam, I heard you are working overtime tonight. That’s why I

came to see Linda. I didn’t expect you to forgo overtime for Linda’s sake and come here. Sorry for

disturbing your time together.”

Elisa placed a fruit basket on the table as she spoke.

Linda was relieved that Elisa was not going to talk about the matter from the banquet. She glanced at

Gareth and found him staring sternly at Elisa.

That cheered her up. She thought Gareth was annoyed with Elisa.

Thus, she tugged Gareth’s arm and said worriedly, “Garry, I only have a minor injury, so you don’t have

to come here often and delay work. It would make me feel bad.”

Elisa watched how close Gareth and Linda were and smirked.

Initially, Gareth wanted to pull his arm away, but Elisa was here, so he decided not to. Instead, he said

in a gentle tone, “Work is not as important as you.”

Elisa was rendered speechless.

How romantic those words are.

Linda was surprised. Gareth had not spoken to her like this for some time. She did not expect him to

speak so tenderly.

Thus, she was touched by his words and shook her head. “Garry…”

Her eyes began to well up with tears. If Gareth continued to speak, she might burst into tears.

Elisa gave a slight smirk. “Linda, even a little thing like this moves you to the verge of tears. Gareth has

done so much for you. It seems you will be crying all your life.”

Her words were full of mockery but she made it sound casual. Linda turned to Elisa and said

awkwardly, “I’m… I’m sorry.”

She quickly let go of Gareth’s arm and did not dare to grab onto him as before.

Just now, she was able to cling to Gareth by pretending to be caught in the heat of the moment. But

Elisa’s words forced her to feign realization. Otherwise, it would seem like Linda deliberately held onto

Gareth’s arm. She did not want him to suspect her.

Damn you, Elisa!

Why do you keep ruining things for me?

Unfortunately, Linda did not know that even if Elisa was not around, Gareth would never let her touch

him.

Meanwhile, Gareth looked at Elisa coldly but did not say anything.

Elisa said casually, “I should have come to see you earlier, but I heard Gareth is always by your side,

so it didn’t seem right for me to visit. However, I still ended up interrupting both of you by accident

today. Linda, since someone is always here to take care of you, I won’t come here to bother you

anymore. I’ll see you again after you’re discharged from the hospital.”

Linda’s eyes gleamed, and she nodded eagerly. Then, she smiled and said, “Elisa, you are busy with

work every day, so there’s no need to come here to see me. We have a lot of time to meet in the

future.”

Her words carried a deeper meaning and implied Elisa was unwilling to visit her.

However, Elisa pursed her lips and did not seem to care about Gareth’s murderous gaze. She looked

straight at him.
