Chapter 1901 Departure


    In the end, Elisa, Gareth, and the vige chief could not reach an agreement.


    Anna wanted to exin, but the vige chief took her away.


    Elisa and Gareth returned home together.


    Mrs. Ke had already prepared a table full of food for them. When she saw that they had returned, she


    greeted them cheerfully. “Come sit down! It''s time to eat.”


    Mrs. Ke noticed the expressions on their faces and assumed they hadn''t won, so she didn''t bring up


    the matter on her own.


    During the meal, all three were preupied with their own thoughts, preventing them from fully


    enjoying the food.


    After finishing her meal, Mrs. Ke put down her cutlery to give them some heartfelt advice. “Actually,


    sometimes it''s quite good to let things take their natural course. If you''ve tried your best, then no matter


    what, there will be no regrets.”


    The two understood that Mrs. Ke was trying to tell them that some things could not be forced.

    However, how could one be content when they were just a hair''s breadth away from sess?


    Elisa managed a smile. “It''s okay, Mrs. Ke. We''ll take things slow.”


    After urging Mrs. Ke to go to bed in her room, Elisa looked at Gareth under the moonlight. For some


    reason, she felt that something was quite strange about him this time.


    There was always an unsettling and ominous feeling in her heart which made her frown constantly.


    Elisa sat next to Gareth, gently tapping him because he seemed lost in thought.


    “No worries. We''ll just stick to what we initially discussed and steal it as nned. As soon as we get it,


    we must leave immediately. When the opportunity arises, we''lle back to apologize in person.”


    Gareth curved his lips into a smile, nodding slightly.


    If Elisa had carefully observed Gareth''s expression, she would have certainly noticed that something


    was off.


    It was a pity that the moonlight was dim that day, and Gareth deliberately turned his head to prevent


    her from seeing him clearly.


    After a while, Gareth pointed to the bottle of alcohol on the table. “Join me for a drink. I''ve been under a


    lot of stresstely.”


    Elisa nodded and lifted her cup, but she hesitated a bit before taking a sip.


    “What''s the matter?” Gareth asked, chuckling as he nced at Elisa. “Are you afraid I''ve poisoned it?”


    He then poured himself a drink and finished it in a single gulp.


    With a gentle smile, Elisa shook her head.


    She was not afraid of being poisoned, but she was concerned that Gareth was going to take advantage


    of her falling unconscious to send her away.


    But now that Gareth had taken a gulp, she was more at ease.


    Under the moonlight, the two of them began to drink, one ss after the other.


    Suddenly, Elisa felt her eyelids grow heavy. Her head spun, and her vision blurred as if the whole world


    had started to spin around her.


    She inwardly cried out in rm, turning her gaze toward Gareth.


    Thetter wore an apologetic expression. Elisa knew she had been tricked, and her worst fears had


    indeede to pass.


    She wanted to say something, but the drug took effect quickly. Elisa slumped onto the table, falling into


    a deep sleep.


    Before losing consciousness, Elisa had just one thought in mind.


    Gareth had deceived her.


    As he watched Elisa drift into unconsciousness, Gareth suppressed his reluctance, greedily tracing her


    eyes with his own gaze, as if he wanted to etch her image into his heart.


    “I''m sorry,” Gareth said indifferently.


    If it were not for such desperate circumstances, he would never have wanted to abandon Elisa, adrift in


    the vast ocean.


    However, the only ones left there now were Sodo, who harbored ulterior motives, as well as the


    cunning and crafty vige chief.


    He simply couldn''t bear to leave Elisa alone.


    “Soran, when youe back for me, I will personally atone for my sins.” Gareth''s murmuring voice was


    carried away by the wind as his kisses gentlynded on Elisa''s eyelids.


    When Elisa came to, it was already bright outside.


    She instinctively thought that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.


    But upon waking up and looking around, Elisa realized it was not a dream.


    Indeed, she was on a small boat, with an envelope beside her, as well as the Nomadic Odyssey.
