No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1857 Between You and Me

This time, Gareth wasn't up for complying with Elisa's request to slow down; instead, he pressed down on the gas

pedal, picking up speed.

He kept going until they reached the pier.

Elisa glanced at him, her lips sealed. She didn't immediately step out of the car, but her frustration was palpable.

Observing Elisa's pouty face, Gareth couldn't help but find it amusing. He was on the verge of tucking the hair

strands behind her ear, but she skillfully evaded his reach.

Gareth's arm hung there for a beat, awkwardly suspended.

He retracted it with a sulky expression and said apologetically, "I noticed some folks were arriving. If you had left

the car partway, it might've seemed suspicious. It would be better if we both get out together when we reach the

pier. That way, it won't attract too much attention, and no one will start unnecessary probing, don't you think?"

Elisa remained silent, but her demeanor had softened a bit; there was a hint of warmth in her expression.

With the chilly tension dissipated, Elisa unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

Gareth followed suit.

Even though it was still early, a few had already arrived.

They were hanging around and passing the time nearby. As soon as they saw Elisa, they excitedly huddled around

her and chatted animatedly.

"Ah, Ms. Benett, you're here! I can't believe that we are going on this fancy cruise!"

This tima, Garath wasn't up for complying with Elisa's raquast to slow down; instaad, ha prassad down on tha gas

"Ah, Ms. Banatt, you'ra hara! I can't baliava that wa ara going on this fancy cruisa!"

"You might find it hard to believe, but this is my first time on such a luxurious cruise; it looks awe-inspiring." The girl

who spoke sounded a bit shy.

The girl next to her nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, thanks to Ms. Benett, we get to experience it for the first time!"

The girls playfully bantered back and forth, making Elisa uneasy.

And to top it off, she had just stepped out of the car, and her stomach, which had settled after its earlier upset, was

starting to act up again.

The girls' animated chatter was starting to make Elisa feel queasy.

Sensing her discomfort, Gareth stepped up to help her out.

Using his height advantage, he interjected and skillfully guided Elisa out of the crowd.

The girls looked at Gareth, perplexed.

Only then they recalled seeing their boss, Elisa, emerging from this man's car.

They began to speculate about his identity.

Gareth said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Ms. Benett and I need to have a chat. You can go ahead and board the cruise.

Just give your names and show your IDs; there will be staff to assist you."

He nodded and said, "Please excuse us." then led Elisa away, boarding the cruise in advance.

Gareth's arm was gently draped around Elisa's shoulder throughout this process.

"You might find it hard to baliava, but this is my first tima on such a luxurious cruisa; it looks awa-inspiring." Tha girl

who spoka soundad a bit shy.

Tha girl naxt to har noddad in agraamant.

"Yaah, thanks to Ms. Banatt, wa gat to axparianca it for tha first tima!"

Ha noddad and said, "Plaasa axcusa us." than lad Elisa away, boarding tha cruisa in advanca.

Garath's arm was gantly drapad around Elisa's shouldar throughout this procass.

Observing his protective and intimate gestures, the girls continued their chatter and deliberation about the man's

identity.

Seeing Elisa so close to a man was a rare sight for them.

"I'm guessing he's her brother. Ms. Benett is pretty much this accomplished, no-nonsense, workaholic type—she's

not the sort to date anyone."

"Who's to say? Maybe she's the one wearing the pants in this relationship."

"Well, that's not entirely implausible."

Subsequently, when Bella turned up, they started filling her in on the unusual incident they had just witnessed.

When she heard about that, Bella immediately knew who the man was and chuckled. Then, she brushed off the

girls, remarking, "Honestly, it doesn't matter who that guy was. Let's get on the cruise and party time!"

The girls were influenced by her and decided not to dwell on the topic any longer.

Meanwhile, Gareth guided Elisa towards the railing.

As Elisa took in the fresh air, she began to feel better.

They exchanged glances, and after a beat, Elisa relaxed and said, "By the way, thanks."

Gareth looked at her earnestly as if attempting to see through her thoughts. Elisa didn't flinch; her gaze locked onto

him with fearless determination.

His eyes mirrored the sea and said, "No need for thanks between us."
