Chapter 1538 Her Delicate Hands


    Gareth spoke in a domineering tone and left no room for negotiation.


    "The couch is too small. You might identally hurt your wound when turning over." Elisa objected and


    insisted on sleeping on the couch. The previous dispute was just to mess with him–she didn''t intend to


    sleep on his bed because she couldn''t fall asleep with his lingering scent.


    "If Grandma sees you sleeping on the couch, I will get a scolding from her again. So, you better take


    the room." With that, Gareth walked out of the bedroom.


    After Gareth left, Elisa hesitantlyy down on the bed. As expected, her mind was filled with Gareth''s


    figure as soon as she closed her eyes. His unique scent wafted into Elisa''s nose, as overbearing as


    him.


    It was destined to be a sleepless night.


    The next morning, Julia woke early to have breakfast with Elisa and Gareth. She wanted to know how


    the night went but didn''t expect them to wake up earlier than her.


    One didn''t sleep well because the couch was too small, while the other didn''t sleep well because of the


    unfamiliar bed. As such, both of them had dark circles the next day.


    Julia was surprised to see them wake up this early. Looking at them, she misunderstood the cause of


    the dark circles and was overjoyed. On the other hand, Elisa and Gareth were resigned. Of course,


    they could tell what Julia was thinking, but they didn''t exin further.


    Throughout the breakfast, Julia kept asking about the situationst night. The couple gave ambiguous


    answers as Julia continued asking questions tirelessly.


    Finally, the two couldn''t deal with it anymore and returned to the room to pack their stuff halfway


    through breakfast. Julia sighed when she saw them leave. "Even their back profiles seem cut out for


    each other."


    …


    Elisa nced at Gareth, who followed her into the room and asked, "Why did youe up so early?"


    "My reason is the same as yours." Gareth crossed his arms before his chest and leaned against the


    wall. Neither of them could handle Julia''s relentless interrogation. Being reminded of Julia''s eagerness


    for them to remarry, they exchanged nces and fell silent.


    "Since you''re here, you can pack your stuff." Elisa pointed at an empty piece of luggage in the


    cupboard.


    However, Gareth went to sit on the bed and said, "I have difficulty moving my hand. Can you help me?"


    His request came out so naturally that he didn''t seem to be embarrassed at all.


    To his surprise, Elisa didn''t retort but started packing his stuff. He didn''t expect her to be this obedient


    today. He was teasing her but didn''t think she would take it seriously.

    When he saw Elisa ironing his clothes, he felt like they were indeed a married couple.


    Startled by the feeling, Gareth shook himself out of the daze and averted his gaze from Elisa.


    Nheless, his action didn''t match his thought. He couldn''t help ncing at Elisa to observe what she


    was doing.


    Around twenty minutester, Elisa finished packing and ced the two pieces of luggage neatly beside


    the door. Exhaling deeply, she didn''t rest but took the medical kit and walked toward Gareth.


    She unbuttoned Gareth''s shirt without saying anything, catching Gareth off guard. He effortlessly


    seized Elisa''s fair, tender hand. Her hand was so delicate as if Gareth could easily break it with a little


    force.
