No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 718

“Are you leaving something out? The entire exchange doesn’t feel right to me,” Rachel commented, looking at Elisa through the rearview mirror.

Sheena also remained quiet.

After a moment of hesitation, Elisa continued, “He is still concerned about my well-being, but I can feel that he’s more tentative this time. There seemed to be something beyond what he was saying, but he didn’t elaborate further. He just asked if I was okay and then hung up, saying he didn’t want to intrude on my life.”

Rachel was surprised to hear that. “For real? He said that?”

Elisa nodded. “Yeah.”

After making a left turn, Rachel couldn’t help commenting, “I can’t believe it! He seems to have changed into a different person. He actually used the word ‘intrude’? I bet he would want to speak to you every day if he could. He carried a torch for you all this while.”

“I was also surprised to hear that. Since he already made it clear, I didn’t ask further. I don’t want to give him false hope,” Elisa replied calmly, with a tinge of curiosity.

Sheena took a deep breath with a conflicted expression on her face.

Finally, she explained, “He’s acting weird because of me. I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong.”

Rachel could hear that something was off. Just then, she spotted a parking spot and pulled over without hesitation.

Sheena breathed in sharply before speaking exasperatedly, “I was quite shocked at myself. I never thought of confessing to him in that way. But after that, I felt a weight lifted off my chest. Anyway, though I was upset, I also felt lighter. I’m not sure if you understand such a conflicting feeling.”

“I understand,” Elisa replied simply.

Though she was in a different situation, her relationship with Gareth was also a conflicting one.

Sheena sighed in exasperation again. She hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “I’ve wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t find the courage.”

Rachel turned around to look at her. “Look at you! You kept saying you’re carefree and easy-going, but you are being so reserved. What’s there to worry about between us?”
