Chapter 1199


    Chapter 1199 Are They Close?


    It pained Nicole to watch him pining for Elisa. Gareth even got upset at the sight of Elisa enjoying the


    company of other men. At this point, Nicole could no longer dodge the reality. Gareth loves Elisa!


    Seeing Gareth heading towards Elisa, she frowned at the possible sight of them being all lovey-dovey


    at the party.


    So, she took her ss and strutted towards Gareth, believing he would stop if she went up to him.


    She walked toward Elisa, but her eyes were fixed on Gareth. As expected, Gareth halted his steps and


    chatted with someone who had just arrived when he saw Nicole approaching him. Nicole breathed a


    sigh of relief.


    Seeing Elisa surrounded by men, Nicole walked up to them with a smile and said, “You guys seem to


    be having a great time.”


    It’s Nicole Tabor! The man’s eyes lit up at her voice. Despite their regr attempts to impress Nicole,


    they were always left disappointed as she was always preupied with duties and barely exchanged


    words with them. However, they were surprised that Nicole took the initiative to approach them today.


    But their excitement was short-lived as they quickly realized that Nicole hade over for Elisa.


    One of the chubby men immediately smiled and said, “Ms. Tabor, it’s been a while since west met!


    You look even more beautiful now!” As he said, the man pushed his wine ss forward.


    Nicole smiled and clinked her ss with his, “Thank you,” she said.


    The other men also came forward to offer a toast. Nicole smiled and said, “I’m sorry, today is my


    grandpa’s birthday. I’m not supposed to drink too much. Thank you for the offer, though.”


    Those who missed the opportunity to drink with her felt a little upset. They epted the rejection


    bitterly.


    Nicole smiled and looked at Elisa. “Liz, can we talk for a moment?”


    Liz…?


    The intimate address caught the attention of everyone. Could Elisa and Nicole have a closer


    rtionship than previously thought? It didn’t seem to add up. One was Gareth’s ex-wife, and the other


    was a woman who had been pining after him for years. Weren’t they rivals?


    Elisa was not in the mood to entertain the men any longer. She nodded at Nicole, and they walked over


    to a nearby sofa together. They held onto their wine sses, but barely any wine was left, and neither


    of them made any effort to refill it. Elisa would rather have a dreaded conversation with Nicole than


    endure the men’s superficial chatter.


    They sat facing each other, and Elisa spoke first. “Today is your grandfather’s birthday. Don’t you need


    to greet the guests?”

    Nicole smiled easily, “Aren’t you also a guest?”


    Had Rachel been present, she would have marveled at their ability to put aside their differences.


    Despite their history of hostility andpetition, the two women were sporting enough to be in each


    other’spany.


    Elisa raised an eyebrow in surprise but said nothing as she ced her wine ss on the table. Nicole


    did the same. After straightening her dress and cing her hand on her knee, she smiled and said, “I


    appreciate youing to support me today. Your presence means a lot to me.”


    After all, everyone knew Elisa’s presence carried significant weight, given her newfound prominence.
