Chapter 360

Chapter 360 Since When Did He Care About Me?

After restoring the message, Thomas passed the phone to Gareth.

‘Charli, someone pushed me into the water today. The major suspect is Linda. Do investigate her but don’t miss out on anyone else suspicious too. Don’t reply to this message. I’ll find a chance to call you.’

When Thomas read the message, his expression changed. “Ms. Bennett...”

One couldn’t tell whether he was referring to Elisa or Linda.

On the other hand, Gareth wore a ghastly expression and remained silent.

Standing aside, Thomas racked his brain trying to understand the situation. Mr. Wickam knew my phone was able to restore deleted messages. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to ask me about it. Elisa deleted the message, yet Mr. Wickam restored it.

And... what’s going on between Elisa and Linda. Is there really something wrong with Linda?

Thomas was confused, but he didn’t dare to tell Gareth his thoughts.

Currently, Gareth’s relationships with both Elisa and Linda were complicated. Thomas could only try to figure out the situation and choose who to trust on his own.

Moments later, Gareth ordered in a deep voice, “Go and investigate the matter.”

Slightly stunned, Thomas subconsciously looked at Gareth. Is he suspecting Linda?

“Okay.”

Nevertheless, Thomas wasn’t aware that what made Gareth more irritated was that Elisa refused to tell him she was pushed into the water. She would rather keep everything to herself!

Back when they were married, Gareth might have found Elisa a nuisance if she complained to him about things like this.

However, now that Elisa remained silent, even Gareth couldn’t understand why he was so frustrated.

After Gareth returned the phone to Thomas, the latter went out. Suddenly, Gareth thought of something and blurted, “Wait a minute.”

Thomas glanced at Gareth in perplexity. The latter paused a while before saying distantly, “Go and buy some medicine.”

Thomas was caught off guard. “Sir, are you feeling unwell?”

Gareth pressed his lips and said something, hearing which, Thomas was startled. With that, he left the room.

Elisa planned to head out and buy a new phone because her phone broke. Although it was already night, the cellphone shops were still open.

Just as she opened the room door, she saw Gareth standing outside the room with his hand reached out. Obviously, he was about to open the door too.

She stood aside to give way to Gareth. After Gareth walked into the room with a cold face, Elisa said nothing and directly walked out of the room.

Gareth’s expression darkened even more. “Where are you going?”

“To buy you a phone.”

Gareth was at a loss for words. Elisa continued walking away, but Gareth suddenly strode up to her, grasped her wrist, and pulled her onto the couch.

Everything happened in a split second, and Elisa was taken aback by his action. Her eyes were filled with shock. What is he doing?

She lifted her head to look at him in silence. Gareth gazed at her coldly and blurted, “You’re not going anywhere tonight.”

Elisa stared at Gareth ridiculously. “Why?”

“Someone is coming after you, yet you still plan to go out?”

Surprised, Elisa glanced at Gareth. However, she soon figured it out the next second. He probably didn’t want Grandma to worry.

If something happened to me, Grandma might not be able to take the hit. Otherwise, since when did he care about me? He never even bothered to spare a glance at me in the past.

At that thought, Elisa said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to help me get a new phone and phone card, for the sake of Grandma.”

Gareth’s eyes darkened as he lifted his head to gaze at her.
