Chapter 447 The Trump Card Had Lost Its Effectiveness
The next second, Gareth regained his senses and looked even more sullen. What the hell am I thinking
about? Why can’t I get Elisa off my mind?!
“Garry…” Linda looked at Gareth worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell? Shall we go back first?”
Gareth is going to meet Elisa again and discuss something with Sean. I can’t allow any opportunities for
him and Elisa to meet anymore!
Gareth gathered his emotions and gazed at Linda indifferently. “Let’s eat. All these are your favorite
dishes.”
Linda was rendered speechless. I can only enjoy my favorite dishes if I’m in a good mood. What’s wrong

After pausing for a while, Linda sighed and mumbled, “Garry, you seemed off recently. Did I…”
She bit her lips and lowered her head as she was afraid and flustered. She didn’t know how to continue
the sentence. It was her strategy to feign a weak and pitiful look to win men’s sympathy.
Gareth took the cutleries and said, “Let’s eat.”
Linda lifted her head in disbelief and instinctively stared at him. Normally, he would coaxed her gently,
but this time, he didn’t! Linda was so aggrieved that she could hardly taste the food. Gareth had no
intention of talking to her at all, and he didn’t even care to pretend to entertain her.
Tears welled up in Linda’s eyes as she stared at Gareth and muttered, “Garry, you don’t have to do
things to please me if you don’t like me.”
Gareth furrowed his brows; the annoyance in his eyes became more intense.
At that moment, Linda felt her trump card had lost its effectiveness. This method was only effective when
used on someone who loved her. If it was used on someone who didn’t care about her, it would only
make her appear like a clown…
Linda clenched her fists tightly under the table. She couldn’t even feel the pain when her nails dug into
her palm. She put down her cutleries as she had completely lost her appetite.
Seeing that, Gareth slowly laid down his cutleries too. He stood up and opened the door so that he could
catch sight of Sean when he passed by their room.
Linda’s eyes became red-rimmed as she was engulfed by jealousy. So, that’s how much Garry cared
about Elisa, huh?! Since he still cares about her, why did he divorce her back then?

“Mr. Wickam, how long until your dinner ends?”
“We’re done eating. Can I come over now?” Gareth asked in a steady tone.
Inhaling deeply, Linda struggled to control her rage and bitterness.
“Yeah.”
“Sure.” With that, Gareth hung up the call and looked at Linda. “I still have some matters to attend to.
Can you go home first?”
This time, his tone finally softened, and he finally gave Linda some attention.
Linda gritted her teeth. No way! How can I leave at this moment, leaving Gareth and Elisa spending time
together?! I can’t allow any chances for them to interact anymore!
Pretending to be thoughtful, she shook her head with a smile and replied, “I can stay to accompany you.
After all, we’re in a public area. If someone discovers you and Elisa being together, it might affect both
your reputation. Such gossip could be prevented if I’m around.”
