Elisa frowned when she saw Gareth did not open his mouth to eat. "Gareth, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing," Gareth denied immediately.
However, Elisa detected a flash of panic in his eyes as he bent over to eat.
Heh!
It's so rare to catch Gareth with such an expression!
Still, she did not expose him.
Gareth was injured and became picky about food now that he was used to Elisa's cooking. Thus, he only ate a third
of the food Mr. North brought.
Elisa cleared the plates and said, "I'll cook for you tonight, but I have a condition. You are to focus on recuperating
and stop bringing up other matters."
"Sure," Gareth agreed and watched Elisa leave the room.

He called her number and said, "Are you going to bed yet? If not, can you come down for a moment?"
It was midnight.
After Rachel ended the phone conversation with Elisa, she dealt with work before doing a skincare routine.
She thought Vincent had something urgent to tell her. Otherwise, she would never have answered his call.
Unexpectedly, she heard Vincent's request.
Then, she looked downstairs and found him leaning against his red sports car. Furthermore, he happened to look up
as she looked down.
Rachel's apartment was on the fifth floor. She could see his lips curving up into a cheerful smile.
'Slam!' Vincent watched her close the window and heard a loud noise. It showed how much force she had used to
shut the window.
Then, he heard her angry voice. "It's late. Judging from your smile, I know it's nothing good! I'm not going down!"
Vincent was rendered speechless.
Rachel was furious and did not hold back her scolding.
Still, Vincent would not give up easily.
"You haven't come down yet. How do you know it's not something good? Do you want me to go upstairs instead?"
Vincent smirked and raised his eyebrows as he teased her.
His words further fueled Rachel's anger. She retorted immediately, "I wish you would disappear from my sight?"
Vincent was not angry but laughed. "I'm sure you can't bear that. What are you to do if I disappear?"
Rachel was rendered speechless.
She understood a saying at that moment: birds of a feather flock together.
There had to be a reason why Gareth and Vincent were friends.
They were shameless. In fact, one was more shameless than the other.
Rachel sneered, "You spoke as if the world revolves around you. I've bathed and put on my pajamas. I won't go

"I'll go up then."
Vincent replied straight away and hung up.
He did not give Rachel a chance to retort.
Rachel had just put the phone down when the doorbell rang.
She looked into the peephole and saw Vincent wearing a black shirt and pants. He seemed even more flirtatious
than usual, dressed all in black.
Rachel did not want to open the door.
However, the doorbell rang persistently. Vincent even called her.
"What the heck? What's wrong with you?" Rachel felt the urge to beat him up.
On the other hand, Vincent appeared calm and proper, but his words were menacing to Rachel.
"I will keep pressing on the doorbell unless you open the door and let me in. It's late. If you don't want complaints
from your neighbors, you should let me in now."
Rachel refused to let herself be intimidated.
