Chapter 1931 Watch A MovieA peculiar feeling swirled in Elisa's heart.
Accepting this bouquet of roses seemed like agreeing to Gareth's words, as if she were agreeing to go
on a date with him.
It burdened her.
Her lips moved slightly, and she spoke with honesty. “I'll accept the roses as a gift from a friend. But if
you have any other intentions... I'm afraid I can't comply.”
Elisa remained calm, not wanting to engage in behavior that might cross the line or lead to
misunderstandings with Gareth, especially without fully considering the nature of their relationship or
her own feelings.
She didn't want to start something vague that might end unclearly.
Gareth appeared somewhat disappointed, but the feeling passed quickly, and he didn't dwell on it.
Despite his momentary sadness, he simply smiled and said, “Don't worry; consider it a gift from a
friend.”
Gareth changed the topic, asking, “I've bought movie tickets. Would you like to go together?”
Elisa, still holding the rose, contemplated. It had been a long time since she had gone to the cinema to
watch a movie.
She used to think it was a waste of time, with the opportunity cost being too high. However, she feltdifferently now and found the idea intriguing.
She nodded, and Gareth took her to collect the tickets.
novelbinHis choice of movie demonstrated good taste; it wasn't a cheesy romance or a fabricated horror film.
Instead, it was a light-hearted comedy animation.
Elisa was a bit slow to react when she first saw the tickets.
Waving the ticket in her hand, she asked, “Is this what we're watching?”
Gareth cryptically replied, “Don't underestimate this animated film; you'll understand once you watch it.”
Hesitant but curious, Elisa followed Gareth into the cinema hall. She held the rose and the bucket of
popcorn he had insistently given her as they entered the hall.
There were many children in the cinema hall, which initially worried her. However, the parents of the
children proved responsible, and none of the unpleasant incidents she had feared actually occurred.
The movie received a positive response, with laughter and even tears from the audience.
Although Elisa didn't cry, she found the humorous moments quite enjoyable.
Before she knew it, she had devoured a significant portion of the popcorn.
Upon leaving the cinema, Elisa belatedly realized that all the popcorn was gone. Sha noddad, and Garath took har to collact tha tickats.

Upon laaving tha cinama, Elisa balatadly raalizad that all tha popcorn was gona.
Recalling how she had initially declined the popcorn, Elisa fell into a momentary silence. Gareth didn't comment on it. After the movie, he took Elisa to the arcade on the next floor, employing
various dating strategies he had found online.
An amusing scene unfolded in the arcade.
Gareth, impeccably dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with hair meticulously groomed, looked quite
out of place while standing in front of the claw machine, trying to grab a toy. His outfit alone was
equivalent to the price of the entire arcade.
Tokens were inserted, disappearing without a sound.
A passing child pointed at Gareth and remarked to his mother, “Mom, look at that guy, he's so silly.”
Elisa held her forehead, unable to bear watching. However, it seemed Gareth's competitive spirit had
been ignited, and he continued exchanging more tokens, determined to demonstrate his claw machine
skills.
Finally, the arcade staff couldn't bear it any longer and adjusted the sensitivity of the claw machine.
Gareth, after numerous attempts, successfully grabbed a toy — the same figurine they had seen in the
movie.
With a gentle smile, he handed it to Elisa.
