“Haha. We can gather for a meal next time. You’re still recovering, and I told my wife I’ll be back for dinner today. Come to my place next time when you guys are free.”
Rachel answered with a grin, “Sure. See you then, Uncle James. We shall catch up with you soon.”
James caressed Rachel’s hair lovingly and said, “You cheeky girl, pick up as much as you can from Elisa, and don’t always loiter around.”
“I’m very hardworking nowadays!” Rachel squealed proudly while lifting her arms. “Look at my muscles. I’m currently Elisa’s private bodyguard cum caretaker!”
James laughed in spite of himself and shook his head in resignation. “Alright then, I shall take my leave first. Go to bed early, girls.”
“Okay. See you, Uncle Mark!”
With that, James left, leaving Elisa and Rachel in the house. Rachel gazed at Elisa with her eyes glistening. “Congratulations, Elisa! You can finally snatch Benett Corporation back!”
Elisa wore a faint smile. “We still have a long way to go.”
“What a bummer! You’re injured now. Otherwise, I would surely ask you to cook a feast and celebrate with Sheena and Carle.”
Elisa chuckled. “Are you craving braised pork again? You can help me prepare the ingredients. I can cook.”
Norman took a deep breath and tried to keep his shirt on.
Around half an hour later, the door was finally opened. Norman and Jessie glanced toward the entrance to see Thomas standing at the door. The latter nodded to them with a smile and stood aside. The next second, a tall figure appeared in front of the two. Gareth’s cold and hostile look was formidable, and Norman’s anger was dismissed at once when he perceived Gareth’s imposing manner.
All his bitterness vanished completely! His courage was lost when faced with Gareth, let alone his firm attitude during the previous gathering.
He instinctively stood up with Jessie, who smiled at Gareth and greeted him. “Good afternoon, Mr. Wickam.”
Gareth nodded at Jessie and sat down on the couch without sparing a glance at Norman. “I have only limited time.” He blurted coldly.
