Chapter 1920 Follow Your HeartElisa nodded. Indeed that is true.
Julia continued to ask, “So why when this person turns out to be Gareth, you seem to be at a loss?”
Elisa was taken aback, as if... Indeed, that seemed to be the case.
If a stranger were to ardently pursue her, Elisa would find it dull, but she wouldn't resist.
novelbinPerhaps it was because she knew that she wouldn't agree.
So why was it that when she faced Gareth, her behavior was completely different? She even unwillingly
denied him an equal opportunity to pursue her from the depths of her heart.
Is it because... I'm afraid I might be moved by him?
Elisa was startled by this thought. She shook her head in an attempt to rid her mind of such absurdity.
Upon seeing it, Julia simply smiled.
Elisa was a smart person, so she would stop at a certain point or it would be awkward.
Julia looked up at the moonlight and couldn't help but sigh. “The moon is so beautiful tonight. It's a pity
that I am going to bed now.”
After Julia finished speaking, she began to walk toward the room. Elisa reacted and wanted to help her,
but was stopped by Julia. “Take some time to reflect on what I've said today. Some questions can't be answered with words; you
need to consult your heart. Why not give it a try sometimes?” the old lady said, winking at Elisa.
Julia's voice echoed in Elisa's mind, swirling around incessantly.
Memories of her time spent with Gareth played like scenes in a movie.
From the moment the two of them got married, to their divorce, and everything they had been through
together.
Everything felt so surreal yet so real.
Elisa was also constantly questioning herself, consulting her own heart.
And so, she stood alone in the garden for a very long time.
I've been standing so long that my legs are sore, yet I still don't have a concrete answer to that
question.
With a bitter smile, Elisa was just about to return to her room when she bumped straight into Gareth,
who was coming from the opposite direction.
Elisa winced in pain as she bumped her forehead into Gareth's chest. She rubbed her head as she
took a half step back.
Gareth looked at her and also looked tense. “Are you okay? It's my fault.”
Elisa laughed. “How come you walk so quietly? Are you a cat or something?”
Gareth just smiled, without offering any explanation.
The noise on the way over was actually quite noticeable. It's just that Elisa was so lost in her thoughts
that she didn't hear it.
“Why aren't you asleep yet? It's quite late.” Gareth changed the subject, speaking as he took off his
woolen top to cover Elisa.
Elisa wanted to refuse, but Julia's words echoed in her mind.
Why can't we give each other a chance?
I guess try to work it out.
This way, I am being fair to both of us.
With that thought, Elisa stiffened but offered no resistance, meekly letting Gareth drape his woolen top
over her body.
It felt very warm, carrying his body heat, and a scent that was uniquely his.
Gareth didn't notice the unusual behavior of Elisa, assuming she was truly cold and that was why shedidn't push him away.
He looked at the petite figure, draped in his clothes like a child sneaking into an adult's attire.
In truth, Gareth really wanted to hug Elisa, but he pulled his hand back which had reached out halfway.
He didn't want to act odd with Elisa.
Gareth scratched his head. “Where's Grandma?”
Elisa snapped back to reality. “Grandma has already gone back to her room to rest.”
