Sure enough, Elisa stopped right after hearing Vincent’s words.
Vincent immediately stopped his car beside Elisa. He told her, “Grandma is concerned about you. She
wants me to send you back. Hop on in, or else Grandma will worry.”
Elisa frowned. She did not say anything, but she could see that Vincent was, indeed, alone in the car.
But she did not intend to get into the car. She spoke coldly, “You can tell Grandma that you’ve sent me
back. I will not tell anyone about this.”
“Grandma said she wanted me to call her and let you speak to her. If not, she would not believe me.
Grandma has aged. You shouldn’t cause her any unnecessary stress. You weren’t in the right state just
now when you left. Do you still want Grandma to worry?”
Elisa frowned once more and kept silent.

“Hurry and get in. Grandma will worry about you if you don’t.” Vincent persuaded her once more.
Elisa had no choice but to open the car door.
Vincent only started the car when he saw her in the car with her seatbelt fastened.
He was reluctant to drive, but he was afraid Elisa would want to get out of the car if he started asking
questions. Then, he could not do what Grandma had trusted him in. He hesitated a while before looking
at Elisa and asked, “What happened? Why did you leave all of a sudden? Why is your face so pale?”
He could not help but blurt out.
Elisa looked extraordinarily calm. She was no longer as worked up as when she talked to Gareth. She
replied indifferently, “Nothing.”
Elisa did not feel like talking too much.

Because there was no point in discussing the matter.
Elisa did not have a good impression of Vincent either.
Moreover, he was Gareth’s friend. Elisa naturally wanted to avoid him.
Although Vincent did not manage to retrieve any information from Elisa, he continued to ask, “What
happened? Why don’t you tell me? Perhaps I can help you analyze the matter? Did the pair of heels
remind you about what happened in the past?”
A light flickered in Elisa’s eyes. She remained quiet.
She did not want to answer Vincent. But her silence seemed like a ‘yes’ to him.
He continued, “Did something bad happen between the two of you in the past?”
Elisa scoffed. “When did anything good happen between us in the past?”
Taken off guard by her response, Vincent found it difficult to utter a word.
This rascal! He is trash!

Vincent could find no way to refute Elisa. He thought back and realized that Gareth had indeed never
praised Elisa.
Wait… that’s not right.
He did praise Elisa before!
He glanced at Elisa and said, “Two of you have misunderstood each other. He had always kept you in
his heart. But he is just too stubborn to admit it. We are good friends, so I know him too well! He had
once said that no one could do a better job as Mrs. Wickam than you. He…”
Just as Vincent was halfway through his sentence, he suddenly felt… he better not say anything else.
Because he saw the bitterness in Elisa’s eyes grow deeper.
Elisa smiled. “You don’t have to say anymore.”
