No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1823 Grateful

She subtly tried to inch away, but there was barely any space between them. She knew this was her way of silently rejecting his advances, but she didn't want to make a scene.

Gareth was slightly disappointed but quickly regained his composure and acted as if nothing had happened.

"The police are still gathering more information from Bella. I know you want to stay with her tonight, but I don't want you to sleep here. I booked a room for you at a hotel nearby. I'll ask the officers to take you there." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elisa looked reluctant.

"It's only a mile away. I booked two rooms. If we're needed here, we can come back together. If you stay in the waiting room here, you'll catch a cold," Gareth explained in a deep and concerned voice.

Elisa hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.

"Thank you," she muttered softly. She turned around and headed towards the rest area to wake Bella up.

Gareth's voice rang out behind her.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Elisa didn't respond as she opened the door to the resting area.

Gareth let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Elisa would refuse his offer. He knew she was a strong-willed woman; once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.

He booked a presidential suite with two rooms opposite each other.

Bella slept in the same room as Elisa. They fell asleep quickly.

Gareth couldn't help but sigh, thinking how much better it would have been if they were at Wickam Manor.

The night passed quietly.

The following day, Gareth sent Elisa and Bella back to the police station.

After a good night's sleep, Bella looked much better than before. She was no longer panicking at the slightest movement.

Bella was able to recover quickly from her anxious breakdowns thanks to Elisa's comforting presence by her side throughout the day. She was also a mentally resilient person by nature.

Gareth had work to attend to at the office, so he took a taxi to Wickam Group after accompanying Bella and Elisa to the police station. It was a rare sight for his employees to see him taking a taxi.

Bella gave a concise and detailed account of the incident to the police at the station. The police assured her that they would do everything in their power to apprehend the intruder.

After thanking the police, Elisa brought Bella to the car.

"Are you feeling okay? You look like you're still breaking out in cold sweats," Elisa said worriedly as she took out a few tissues to pass to Bella. "Use this to wipe your sweat away."

Bella thanked Elisa and started to wipe her sweat away.

"Ms. Benett, I'm so sorry for being a nuisance the past two days. I had no one else to call but you yesterday. I don't know anyone else in Bayswe, and I couldn't bear to frighten Grandma."

Elisa smiled warmly. "What are you saying? How is this a nuisance? I can't let anything happen to my best employee. We have a big proposal coming up. Who am I supposed to find if something happened to you?"

Bella finally smiled. She knew Elisa was trying to lighten her burden.

Elisa's kindness deeply touched her, and it made her feel extremely grateful for her support.

In the car, Elisa asked Bella if she wanted to go to the office or home.
