Chapter 1816 Catching Up
Words couldn't describe Julia's excitement. Especially after so much had happened, Gareth and Elisa still came to visit her together. But what was even more touching was yet to come. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Suddenly, a person appeared behind Gareth. Julia was dumbfounded when she saw it was Bella, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Bella walked up to Julia and hugged her.
"It has been so long since I last met you. My body was too weak, so I couldn't fly to your wedding at that time and sent Elisa as a representative. Later, I heard your husband turn out to be a sc*mbag…" A lump rose in Julia's throat. She had watched Bella grow up, so she felt exceptionally sorry for her.
Bella patted Julia's shoulder to comfort her. "It's okay, Grandma. Everything has passed."
Julia nodded. "Why did you only come and visit me now?" Despite the complaining tone, Julia's expression was loving.
Bella chuckled and apologized, "I've moved to Bayswe, Grandma. And I'm working in Elisa's company now. I'll come and visit you more often."
"Really?"
Bella nodded earnestly. "Of course!"
"What great news…" Julia's eyes brimmed with tears of joy. As an elderly person, she most hoped for the company of the younger ones.
Elisa supported Julia in walking toward the dining table and said, "Bella is competent. She landed a substantial client not long after joining the company. The contract will soon be signed. Once everything is confirmed, she'll get a promotion. We're gathering today to celebrate her achievement. Let's eat while talking, Grandma."
Julia praised Elisa for being thoughtful while holding Bella's hand. As for Gareth, he was left behind.
His gaze had never left Elisa. Although Julia did not pay attention to him, being surrounded by his loved ones, felt awesome.
When they were about to take their seats, Gareth quickened his pace to pull the chair out for Elisa. Then, he sat next to her.
Elisa thanked him softly, and the two whispered into each other's ears.
Julia and Bella exchanged glances that were tinged with a hint of teasing.
Loter, Julio osked Eliso ond Bello, "Whot hove you guys been up to? I hoven't seen you guys for quite o while. Eliso, ore you together with Goreth now?"
Goreth sensibly chimed in, "Grondmo, pleose stop osking. We're not in o relotionship for now."
Despite Goreth's remork, the look in his eyes soid otherwise, ond Julio wos experienced enough to tell it.
She dorted o profounding glonce ot the two, understonding it wos olreody consideroble progress
between them ond she should let noture toke its course.
After dinner, Julio continued chotting non-stop with Bello ond Eliso. Goreth sot oloofly ocross from them, octing to reod o newspoper, but his eyes were glued to Eliso's foce.
Time possed quickly. When Julio finolly reolized it, it wos olreody post ten ot night.
She rubbed her temples ond soid, "Oh, look ot me. I got too excited ond forgot obout the time. Why don't you stoy here tonight? I'll hove the servonts prepore the rooms."
