Chapter 1932 Just Be Yourself
Gareth appeared content, leaving Elisa somewhat speechless. She wasn't sure what to say.
“Actually... you don't have to do this,” she began.
Gareth was a man of pride, brilliance, and arrogance.
But when it came to dating, he seemed lost, and even Thomas, his trusted aide, was clueless in this department.
Hence, he ended up resorting to the somewhat foolish idea of searching for dating strategies online.
Elisa could see through it, but she chose not to expose him.
There was a sense of being protected and cherished in this awkwardness. However, she didn't want the formidable
Gareth to lose his true self.

She took the doll from Gareth's hand and handed it to the child standing nearby. The child had been eagerly
watching, hoping to play with the claw machine but couldn't because they were using it.
The child, receiving the toy, cheered with joy and happily went off to find their mother.
Elisa said, “These are things that little kids or young girls would like. I don't really have an interest in them.” She
paused, her gaze fixed on Gareth. “Similarly, these are things that young boys do. You don't need to do them.”
Gareth opened his mouth but found himself speechless.
For the first time, Elisa took the initiative to hold Gareth's hand, momentarily leaving him in a daze.
Then, he followed suit, firmly gripping Elisa's hand. He was afraid to let go as if doing so would cause him to lose
everything.
Elisa didn't resist; she allowed him to lead her, guiding him away from the shopping mall.
They ended up at a barbecue stall adjacent to the mall, where they sat in silence.
Reluctantly, Gareth released Elisa's hand, but the warmth of her touch lingered in his palm.
Elisa greeted the owner and efficiently placed their order.
Gareth, on the other hand, seemed somewhat out of place in this environment, feeling a bit lost. It was clear that
this wasn't his usual scene.
While Elisa wiped the table, she remarked, “Actually, when you brought me to this mall, I knew it was some ill-
advised idea you must have picked up from somewhere. This mall doesn't have Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, or
Chanel. It's just an ordinary shopping district. This must be your first time here.”
Gareth nodded slightly.

your plans for their dates.”
Hearing this, Gareth understood that Elisa had seen through his intentions. Being exposed didn't feel too awkward
for him. He had always been like this. Nevertheless, it didn't stop him from discreetly deducting Thomas' salary.
“I'm sorry; I'm not very skilled in these matters,” Gareth sincerely admitted.
Elisa shook her head earnestly, saying, “You don't need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that
these things aren't quite suitable for you. Take the claw machine, for example; it's all determined by the system. No
matter how clever you are, if it doesn't want you to win, you won't.”
She paused for a moment, then continued, “What I mean is, you don't need to do things you're not good at, and
you don't need to change yourself, Mr. Wickam. You're perfectly fine just the way you are.”
Gareth's heart swelled with the warmth of Elisa's words.
The two of them gazed at each other from across the somewhat noisy barbecue stand.
At that moment, with just one glance, Gareth knew he hadn't fallen for the wrong person.
“Here's your order!”
