Thanks.” Will frowned. “I do not like to hear that from you. | would like it if you consider saying ‘Will, | like you’ rather than ‘Thank you’ next time.” Elisa frowned quietly.
Will smiled and continued, “Then, | will know that you intend to thank me. Don’t worry. | 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.

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, “'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 tbeing.
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.

“What should we do? Ten days have passed! Our engagement is coming up soon, but Gareth has not done anything. What should | do? Dad, Mom, can you please givesadvice?” 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! | 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.

If the Wickam family wanted to call it off, they would cup 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.
