Chapter 1932 Just Be Yourself


    Gareth appeared content, leaving Elisa somewhat speechless. She wasn''t sure what to say.


    “Actually... you don''t have to do this,” she began.


    Gareth was a man of pride, brilliance, and arrogance.


    But when it came to dating, he seemed lost, and even Thomas, his trusted aide, was clueless in this


    department. Hence, he ended up resorting to the somewhat foolish idea of searching for dating


    strategies online.


    Elisa could see through it, but she chose not to expose him.


    There was a sense of being protected and cherished in this awkwardness. However, she didn''t want


    the formidable Gareth to lose his true self.


    As Elisa chuckled, herughter gradually subsided.


    She took the doll from Gareth''s hand and handed it to the child standing nearby. The child had been


    eagerly watching, hoping to y with the w machine but couldn''t because they were using it.


    The child, receiving the toy, cheered with joy and happily went off to find their mother.


    Elisa said, “These are things that little kids or young girls would like. I don''t really have an interest in


    them.” She paused, her gaze fixed on Gareth. “Simrly, these are things that young boys do. You don''t


    need to do them.”


    Gareth opened his mouth but found himself speechless.


    For the first time, Elisa took the initiative to hold Gareth''s hand, momentarily leaving him in a daze.


    Then, he followed suit, firmly gripping Elisa''s hand. He was afraid to let go as if doing so would cause


    him to lose everything.


    Elisa didn''t resist; she allowed him to lead her, guiding him away from the shopping mall.


    They ended up at a barbecue stall adjacent to the mall, where they sat in silence.


    Reluctantly, Gareth released Elisa''s hand, but the warmth of her touch lingered in his palm.


    Elisa greeted the owner and efficiently ced their order.

    Gareth, on the other hand, seemed somewhat out of ce in this environment, feeling a bit lost. It was


    clear that this wasn''t his usual scene.


    While Elisa wiped the table, she remarked, “Actually, when you brought me to this mall, I knew it was


    some ill-advised idea you must have picked up from somewhere. This mall doesn''t have Gi, Louis


    Vuitton, Prada, or Chanel. It''s just an ordinary shopping district. This must be your first time here.”


    Gareth nodded slightly.


    Elisa chuckled. “I''ve been here a few times with Rachel. We''ve even encountered those young couples


    following your ns for their dates.”


    Hearing this, Gareth understood that Elisa had seen through his intentions. Being exposed didn''t feel


    too awkward for him. He had always been like this. Nevertheless, it didn''t stop him from discreetly


    deducting Thomas'' sry.


    “I''m sorry; I''m not very skilled in these matters,” Gareth sincerely admitted.


    Elisa shook her head earnestly, saying, “You don''t need to apologize. You didn''t do anything wrong. It''s


    just that these things aren''t quite suitable for you. Take the w machine, for example; it''s all


    determined by the system. No matter how clever you are, if it doesn''t want you to win, you won''t.”


    She paused for a moment, then continued, “What I mean is, you don''t need to do things you''re not


    good at, and you don''t need to change yourself, Mr. Wickam. You''re perfectly fine just the way you are.”


    Gareth''s heart swelled with the warmth of Elisa''s words.


    The two of them gazed at each other from across the somewhat noisy barbecue stand.


    At that moment, with just one nce, Gareth knew he hadn''t fallen for the wrong person.


    “Here''s your order!”
