However, the more he persisted, Elisa felt skeptical of his boastful remarks.
"I have no interest in a man who keeps offering and claiming he's the perfect match for me. Does that automatically make it true, especially for someone like you, merely claiming to be worthy? Why should | trust you?" Elisa sneered, then rose to her feet the next moment.

"No, thank you!" Elisa firmly rejected, standing up and refusing to give Eden any satisfaction or further attention.

"Didn't you say you don't want to eat?" Elisa said, and the next second, he approached her.
"Well, | can't risk poisoning myself," Gareth replied, stepping closer to her.
Elisa smiled coldly and continued, "Serves you right then." "Don't | have you here? Or are you contemplating going with Eden...?" Gareth responded, understanding that Elisa was purposely teasing him. Nevertheless, he remained composed, showing no signs of being bothered.
However, his expression turned grave as memories of Eden's inciting and provocative attempts replayed in his mind.
