Chapter 1683 You Don''t Have the Right


    The events that followed did not involve Elisa or Gareth, so it was time for them to head back home.


    "I haven''t had a chance to thank you properly, and now you''re already on your way back home," Be


    said, her eyes ssy with emotion as she held onto Elisa''s hand.


    "I came to attend a wedding, but I got to witness the growth of a young and brave woman as she


    ditched a man who didn''t deserve her. I''ll have to tell Grandma about this," Elisa said, her lips curving


    into a warm smile.


    Be nodded incessantly, staring at Elisa. "Elisa, please help me tell Grandma that I really miss her.


    Once everything is settled here, I''ll make sure to visit her."


    "It''s a promise, then," Elisa answered, chuckling softly.


    "I promise."


    …


    Elisa was gued by a whirlwind of negative thoughts as they were on the ne to head back home.


    Gareth attempted to speak with her on multiple asions, but she did not respond. Gareth''s forehead


    furrowed as he looked at Elisa, who appeared drowsy. Suddenly, he reached out and took hold of her


    hands.


    Despite Elisa''s attempts to pull her hands away forcefully, he was too strong for her. She opened her


    eyes and gave him a surly re without saying a word.


    "Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Gareth asked in his deep, gravelly voice.


    Baffled by hisment, Elisa wryly replied, "Throwing a tantrum?"


    Seeing how Gareth silently stared at her with an icy cold stare, she sneered, "How could I throw a


    tantrum at you, Mr. Wickam?"


    Gareth''s heart raced as he tried to understand Elisa''s cold attitude towards him. He didn''t know what


    he had done to make her so distant.


    Gareth''s heart raced as he tried to understand Elisa''s cold attitude towards him. He didn''t know what


    he had done to make her so distant.


    After a short pause, his eyes widened in realization. "I''m not the same as Luke," he assured, his brows


    furrowed. "I didn''t have anything going on with Linda."


    Gareth knew that Elisa was reminded of her own pain and was hurt by what had happened at Be''s


    wedding.


    Gareth regretted taking Elisa to the wedding. It had been a mistake to put her in that situation.


    Furthermore, their rtionship didn''t have a chance to blossom, even though Gareth hoped it would.


    To make matters worse, Elisa didn''t want to see him anymore.


    Elisa couldn''t help but snicker. "What does your rtionship with Linda have to do with me?" she


    asked, her eyes narrowing. "Don''t you think you''re being delusional?"


    Tumultuous emotions stirred within her heart, and Gareth''s words had only served to rub salt in the


    wound. He must have been out of his mind to bring up the past at a time like this.


    "I''m sorry."


    Elisa''s eyes bulged, startled by the sudden apology.


    Gareth realized his mistake when he saw Elisa''s distressed and aloof tone. He hadn''t meant to bring up


    the past, and he quickly apologized. "It was my fault for speaking so carelessly," he muttered. "Please


    don''t take it to heart. I only wanted you to know that I''m in no way simr to Luke."

    Luke had an affair with Be''s best friend, I, and even slept with her. But Gareth had never


    participated in intimacy with Linda.


    He blurted it out without thinking, not wanting Elisa to piece them together.


    A wave of regret washed over him when he finally realized what he had said.


    Elisa''s lip curled into a smirk as she sneered, "Isn''t every man who cheats a jerk?" Her voice was filled


    with exasperation and indignation as she continued, "Luke cheated on Be physically, but you cheated


    emotionally!"


    Gareth''s forehead creased into a deep scowl as he heard Elisa''s words. His eyes were filled with icy


    rage as they locked onto her.


    How many times had he had to exin his rtionship with Linda to her?


    Gareth kept his mouth sealed, but Elisa''s words continued to rain down on him. "Gareth, the wedding is


    over now. I don''t want anything to do with you anymore. You don''t have the right to pry into my life, and


    you don''t have the right to yell at me."


    There was an unwavering resolution to her voice, marking the finality of their rtionship.


    As he listened to her exnation, he felt a knot of dread form in his stomach. His breath caught in his


    throat, suffocating him.


    Attending this wedding was a mistake.


    "If I had known that Be''s wedding would end up like this, I wouldn''t have brought you here and put a


    damper on your mood."
