Chapter 1750 Unwelcome Guest
Gareth never imagined she would do something like that. Sadness engulfed him.
Elisa took advantage of his distraction and slammed the door shut.
"Slam!"
The sound reverberated throughout the house.
Elisa treated him like an enemy. She didn't want to spend a single second with him.
Gareth stared at the closed door. His expression was tense and cold. He stood there alone for a long,
long time…
Inside, Elisa wasn't in a good mood after Gareth had left. She quietly went back to her room.
Rachel and Will both silently agreed to leave her alone.
However, Rachel had to leave for work.

Before leaving, Rachel glanced at Elisa's closed door and said to Will, "Elisa isn't doing well, Mr.
Darcey. Please keep an eye on her. Call me if anything else happens. As for Gareth… You need to
work harder to make sure she never sees him again!"
He, more than anyone else, wished for Elisa never to see Gareth again. He knew Rachel was worried
he'd be stuck in a wheelchair forever and be a burden to Elisa.
He will never let that happen.
Rachel left after Will promised to look after Elisa.
But Rachel texted Elisa on the way to work:
Rachel: 'Elisa, Gareth is gone. Don't let whatever he says or does ruin your mood. I'll be at the office.
Something came up at work. Rest well. Let me know if you need anything.'
Elisa: 'Okay.'

Elisa replied with just one word and put down the phone.
She was tired, but at the thought of Will all alone in the house, Elisa composed herself and left her
room.
To their surprise, another unexpected guest arrived in less than an hour.
Will was the one who opened the door.
He frowned when he saw it was his mother. "Why are you here, Mom?"
Even though Will had moved in with Elisa to make a point to his mother and Gareth, he didn't expect
both to find out so soon.
Mrs. Darcey sneered, "What? I can't even visit my son?"
Will's head started to pound at his mother's taunts.
"That's not what I meant. But you should at least let me know when you're coming. I'd go pick you up."
Will handled his mother skillfully. It wasn't his first rodeo with her. Elisa couldn't help but sympathize
with him.

At the same time, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
She couldn't exactly shut the door in his mother's face and pretend not to be home.
That would be counterintuitive to their plan.
Elisa took a deep breath, gathered herself, and approached the door.
Mrs. Darcey stopped looking around as soon as she caught a glimpse of Elisa. She was obviously
looking for Elisa.
Elisa let out a barely audible sigh. It looked like his mother had come prepared.
"Hello, Mrs. Darcey." Elisa greeted her politely.
Elisa was all politeness and decorum despite knowing Mrs. Darcey disliked her. She was not about to
give Mrs. Darcey another reason to hate her.
Mrs. Darcey sniffed loudly, not hiding her disdain for Elisa.
