No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1536

"Grandma, I got divorced. How can I attend her wedding? What would her family think? They probably don't

welcome me, either. It's not that I'm unwilling to go, but I shouldn't." It was rare for Gareth to blab so much in one

go just to avoid attending the wedding.

Julia pretended to come to a sudden realization. "Oh, right, you've been divorced…"

Gareth was rendered speechless.

Elisa was amused to see Gareth behaving like a child in front of Julia.

"What should I do then?" Julia furrowed her brows and put down her cutleries, pretending to be so troubled that she

had lost her appetite.

Gareth could tell that Julia was putting on an act but didn't expose her. He went along and expressed his intention.

"It seems like we can only decline the invitation."

Julia suddenly slapped him on the back of his head, which startled Elisa too.

"You rascal, I've agreed to show up as the senior in the family. How can I eat my own words?"

Gareth rubbed the back of his head with a sulky look. Elisa suppressed her laughter, seeing Gareth acting like a

child who had made a mistake. I wonder what the outsiders would think if they saw the powerful Mr. Wickam being

lectured by his grandmother.

"What should we do then?" Gareth was at the end of his wits and could only surrender.

Julia suddenly had a brainwave and muttered in a completely different tone, "It's okay. I guess my body can still take

it. I'm just sick; it's not a big deal. I guess I can still attend the wedding."

"No way."

"Please don't!"

Gareth and Elisa blurted in unison. They glanced at each other and quickly averted their gaze.

Elisa said earnestly, "Grandma, the long journey can take a toll on your health. You can easily get sick from long

travels."

Julia contained her laughter. "What do you suggest then? Gareth is reluctant to go, and I'm not allowed to go. Do I

really have no choice but to break my promise? I'm an old lady and can't afford to lose face."

Elisa and Gareth exchanged glances and perceived the determination in each other's eyes.

With that, a silent agreement was reached.

Elisa spoke up. "Since that's the case, Gareth and I can pretend to reconcile, so he can represent you to attend the

wedding."

Although Elisa couldn't understand the absurd rule, she compromised for Julia's sake.

Julia couldn't help beaming but continued putting on an act to confirm if they were willing.

"It's okay. I don't want you to suffer for me. You must have had a hard time being with this rascal."

Gareth was rendered speechless. I compromised and made sacrifices too. How is that suffering for Elisa? I bet she's

feeling smug now. I'm the one who suffers!

Elisa shook her head with a smile, assuring Julia that she wasn't reluctant. But at the same time, she emphasized

that this was a temporary solution, and they would just put on an act.

Julia beamed from ear to ear and chose to ignore the part about them putting on an act.

I didn't force them, but they willingly compromised.

When Elisa and Gareth looked at each other and sensed helplessness in each other's expressions, it felt as if they

had fallen into a trap! However, it was too late to regret it.
