“Sleep early tonight. I will try my best to confirm this matter as soon as possible and contact you after
that.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
Will frowned. “I do not like to hear that from you. I would like it if you consider saying ‘Will, I like you’
rather than ‘Thank you’ next time.”
Elisa frowned quietly.
Will smiled and continued, “Then, I will know that you intend to thank me. Don’t worry. I will not
misunderstand.”
Elisa could not say anything in response.
“Well, I’ll stop teasing you already. You should go to sleep.” Will’s tone was still gentle, but he could
taste the bitterness of his words.
“Mmm.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa simply grunted in reply. Then, both of them ended the call.
Elisa held the phone in her hand tightly. She had lost her desire to sleep.
“Elisa, why are you not asleep yet? It is already very late!”
Suddenly, Rachel’s voice sounded from outside her bedroom door. Elisa quickly replied, “I’m going to
sleep now.”
She was not fully recovered and still needed someone to take care of her, so Rachel decided to stay
with her for the time being.
After all, both she and Elisa needed to go on business trips. On the other hand, Carle had to stay in the
hospital for treatment.
The wound on his head was too severe that he had almost become paralyzed. So he would not be
discharged so soon.
“Okay, you rest early too. Call me if you need me.”
Rachel yawned.
She had gotten up to go to the washroom and heard noises from Elisa’s bedroom.
“Okay.” Rachel returned to her room after hearing Elisa’s reply.
The house was exceptionally quiet, but Elisa could not fall asleep.
She was eager and impatient to know what Will had found out.
…
In Benett Residence.
It wasn’t just Elisa and Rachel who were still awake.
Norman and his family were on the sofa in the study. All of them looked grim.
“What should we do? Ten days have passed! Our engagement is coming up soon, but Gareth has not
done anything. What should I do? Dad, Mom, can you please give me some advice?”
Linda was anxious. She was afraid that her engagement would be called off. After all, he had said such
harsh words that day. What should she do?

Rose frowned. “You must have misheard that day at the hospital.”
Linda roared in frustration. “No! I heard it loud and clear! He wanted to call off the engagement! He
does not want to get engaged to me!”
Rose shook her head. “Well, even if that’s the case, the Wickam family has not done or said anything.
It is only ten days to your engagement party, and nothing odd has happened. If he planned to call off
the engagement, he would have notified us. Our family is not like any other ordinary family. He should
give us an explanation if he wants to call off the engagement, shouldn’t he?”
Norman nodded. “That’s right. If the Wickam family wanted to call it off, they would come up with
something first and let us know beforehand to uphold both families’ reputations. Furthermore, our
family business is thriving. Do you know how much he would lose if he gave you up and worked with
Darcey Group?”
Linda frowned hard. “But…”
Rose sighed, “Linda, he no longer trusts you like before. He has probably listened to the whole
recording already. So if you manage to be engaged to him, you will be his rightful partner. Then, you
can slowly find ways to make him fall in love with you.”
