Elliot rubbed his sore neck and met Gareth's eyes.
"I love your daughter," he said like he was taking an oath. "I would never do anything to hurt her. You can trust me with her heart."
Axel snorted in disbelief, leaned against the wall, and crossed his arms.
"Stop lying, Elliot." He turned to his uncle. "Last night, I went on a date with Jasmine, and we saw Elliot and Isabella there. The whole night, I watched him staring at Jasmine with longing, which caused Elliot and Isabella to fight, and then she left in tears. Doesn't that count as hurting her? Elliot paid more attention to another woman during a date with your daughter. Wouldn't you say that's an example of being unfaithful?"
Gareth was surprised that his nephew would make the mistake of mentioning his date with Jasmine after he had threatened him. Axel seemed to be too angry with Elliot to be thinking straight.
