NovelAppChapter 361 Like A Hedgehog “You can beg me.” Elisa was rendered speechless as she gazed at Gareth. “Gareth Wickam, is there something wrong with your brain?” Gareth’s expression turned gloomy. “If it wasn’t for me, you would have drowned in the water. My phone was even spoiled because of you. Shouldn't you beg for my forgiveness?” Elisa smiled. “Given the situation, you shouldn't accuseof being ungrateful. | know you didn’t rescuefor my sake, but because you didn’t want Grandma to worry. Even if you didn’t rescuetoday, sother kind soul would.” To think about it, she would have appreciated anyone else who saved her, even if that person had his or her own motive. After all, that person would have been her life-saver.
However, she just couldn't bring herself to thank Gareth. Whatever. Indeed, I'm a petty person.
Sure enough, Gareth’s face turned sullener, but Elisa continued staring at him fearlessly. “Would you only buya phone if | beg you?” She knew Gareth wouldn't allow her to head out today, and she thought it was unnecessary to provoke him at this moment.

Truth be told, Gareth was still unhappy about Elisa.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Elisa was startled for a moment before she realized what he was talking about. She put on a faint smile and asked, “Would you believeif | told you?” Gareth didn’t know how to respond. Elisa smirked when she perceived his response. He clearly remembers that he never believed what | said in the past.
Gareth closed his eyes and mumbled, “I'll get someone to buy a new phone for you. Call Grandma and tell her you're safe. She has been looking for you.” Elisa said nothing and immediately walked to the hphone to call Julia.
Soon, Julia picked up the call. “Hello.” “Hey Grandma, it's me, Elisa.” There was a slight pause at the other end of the line before Julia asked anxiously, “Hey Elisa, is everything okay? | saw you were drenched just now. What happened?” It was very quiet in the room. Gareth was standing not far away from the phone. Even though Elisa did not put the call on speaker, he could still hear Julia's voice.
Elisa sat down in front of the phone. The expression on her fair face softened into a gentle grin. “I stood too close to the water and accidentally fell into it. I'm fine now, Grandma.” “I don't believe that you're fine! Please be more careful next tand don't linger around those dangerous places, okay?” “Okay. Don’t worry, Grandma. | promise it won't happen again.” Elisa spoke gently while Gareth becmore frustrated.
It is as if this woman can easily switch between personalities. She’s extremely gentle to Grandma, but she’s like a hedgehog when facing me, defensive and invasive.
Elisa continued talking with Julia for stbefore she hung up the phone.

“Mr. Wickam.” Thomas’ voice cforth, which surprised Elisa.
Gareth regained his composure and went to answer the door. Thomas passed a white, high-quality bag to Gareth. “The one on top is for Ms. Elisa.” Gareth said nothing and closed the door after receiving the bag.
Elisa was perplexed. It doesn’t look like dinner. Could it be...
Gareth cast an aloof glance at her and opened the bag to take out his stuff. Thereafter, he ignored her.
