Chapter 1389 You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
However, the memories of her hastily fleeing the private room disguised as Elisa had haunted her for
quite some time.
On that day, when she made eye contact with Elisa at the restaurant, Nicole felt that tonight''s barbecue
party held more significance than just a casual gathering.
She pressed her lips together and, noticing Thomas'' smiling yet nonmittal expression, inquired
again, "Mr. May, is Mr. Wickam''s invitation exclusively for me, or is it open to everyone?"
While she didn''t explicitly mention it, Thomas grasped the underlying implication— the person she was
referring to was Elisa.
Thomas chuckled and responded, "Ms. Tabor, after encountering you in a foreignnd and having a
brief interaction with you at the restaurant that day, Mr. Wickam took into ount the connections
between the Wickam and Tabor families and their business interactions. A barbecue party is always
more enjoyable with arger gathering, don''t you think?"
It wasn''t an exclusive invitation...
Upon hearing Thomas'' exnation, Nicole felt relief wash over her.

"In that case, please convey my sincere thanks to Mr. Wickam. I will dly ept the invitation and
attend the barbecue party tonight," Nicole responded, her smile radiating warmth.
Since it wasn''t an exclusive invitation, declining would raise unnecessary suspicions.
By attending, she would demonstrate her trust in Gareth and Elisa and dispel any doubts others may
have.
"Of course, Ms. Tabor," Thomas replied casually before excusing himself.
After Thomas left, Nicole reached for her phone and dialed a number.
"I have a barbecue party to attend tonight. Please handle all the necessary arrangements for me."
At nine o''clock in the night, Eden stood outside Elisa''s room, carrying carefully selected clothes and a
bouquet of flowers.
Knowing that Elisa and Gareth had booked a spacious suite, Eden didn''t want his pleasant mood to be
dampened by Gareth''s presence.
To avoid any surprises, he decided to call Elisa ahead of time.
Elisa was puzzled when she received Eden''s call.
"I thought I''ve already agreed to attend your barbeque party?" she answered the call, confused.
Eden chuckled and replied, "That''s precisely why I want to be genuine. I''m outside your room, Liz.
Could you please open it for me?"
He deliberately elongated his words, his voiceced with heavy amusement.
Hearing Eden call her ''Liz'' sent a shiver down Elisa''s spine, evoking a strong sense of disgust.
"Excuse me, we''re not on such familiar terms."
Eden, however, raised an eyebrow nonchntly.
"Familiarityes with time. Even your ex-husband calls you that, whereas I always call you Ms.
Bt. Wouldn''t it be strange otherwise? You should know I''m pursuing and aiming to marry you as my
wife."
Elisa didn''t believe his nonsense and responded coldly, "Does it have to be now? Can we talk about it
at the barbecue party?"
"You''ll find out when youe out," Eden teased, creating suspense.
Initially, Elisa wanted to refuse, but she thought it over. She had already agreed to his invitation, so it
wouldn''t be right to back out now.
Additionally, she believed Eden wouldn''t resort to harming her since he hadn''t achieved his desired
oue.
As she unlocked the door, she was greeted by Eden, who held an elegant shopping bag in one hand
and gently cradled ny-nine roses in the other.
Without hesitation, Eden presented her with the items, remarking, "Wear thister, and may these
roses brighten your day."
A smile formed on his lips as he greeted her,
Elisa''s eyes narrowed, "You gotta be kidding me. Are you sure you''re not mentally unfit?"
A barbecue party where he dressed in ck and she wore a formal dress?
"Well, in that case, maybe you''re the remedy," Eden replied, his smile in response to Elisa''s remark.
However, his words left Elisa with a heavy heart.
