Chapter 1819 Something Bad Happened "You better have a good reason to explain why you're here in the middle of the night," Elisa said, her voice sharp. "How did you get in here when | locked the door to the balcony?" Gareth felt slightly guilty, but he knew he had no choice but to come clean. He lifted the evidence of the crime in his hands. After clearing his throat, he began to explain, "I never expected you to come out of the shower without any clothes on." Elisa huffed indignantly, "You're putting the blame on me?" "No, it's my fault," Gareth answered firmly. "I shouldn't have come in here." "Get out!" Elisa pointed towards the door, her voice assertive and unwavering.
Gareth noticed Elisa was angry with him, so he tried calming her down. "It wasn't my intention to see you without your clothes," he explained. "I came over to ask you what time you're going to the office tomorrow so | could drop you off. Since you were in the shower, | decided to wait outside. | never thought that... Don't worry; I'll take responsibility." Elisa almost couldn't contain her urge to laugh when he said he would take responsibility for seeing her without her clothes. She pointed to the door, her expression inscrutable. "I'll make you regret it if you don't leave this instant,” she demanded. "Also," Elisa lifted her chin before continuing, "Leave the keys before you go." Gareth tried to reason with Elisa, but she was having none of it. He knew that he was wasting his breath, so he gave up and left.
Elisa slammed the door to the balcony shut as soon as he left. The sound of the lock turning echoed through the room.

Gareth noticed he didn't have the slightest hint of anger whenever he was with Elisa. He knew he had fallen too deep. He was still smiling from ear to ear, even though he had acted so childishly and ended up being kicked out of the room.
He stood by the entrance, smoking a cigarette. He couldn't wipe away the image of Elisa's shadow in his head.
"Damn it!" Gareth yelled as he threw the cigarette butt in the trash can. As he was about to leave, he heard the door click. Right after, the door to the balcony opened.
Elisa's face was white as a sheet, and her eyes were filled with terror. "Bella is in the police station," she said, her voice shaking.
"I don't know what happened, but we must get to her." Gareth didn't even have the chance to ask for more details before they left the mansion in a rush.
The subtle noise of their departure awakened Julia, and her lips curled up in satisfaction.
However, the reason they left the house together in the middle of the night wasn't what she had expected.

Gareth and Bella usually acted indifferent towards each other, but he was evidently concerned about her.
She knew then that he genuinely cared about Bella, and she was no longer hung up on the way he had snuck into her room.
"She's safe. Bella noticed someone had been to her house and immediately called the police. She's in the police station now," Elisa explained, her voice grave and solemn.
"That's good to hear," Gareth said, nodding in relief. "You don't have to be too worried as well." He stared at Elisa with a reassuring glance.
Elisa nodded, but the edges of her face were still tense. She couldn't shake away the uneasy feeling. After all, anyone would be terrified to find out that someone had been to their home.
