“The Winthrop Family’s fianc?e actually lives here. How surprising!”
She knew that he was teasing her, so she wasn’t bothered by it.
“It’s not quite nice for me to stay too long in the Winthrop Residence. Of course, I need to have my own house.”
“If that’s the case, then we’re neighbors. The closer person gets the chance first. Mr. Winthrop might be behind me this time.”
When she heard that, she was speechless.
“If there’s nothing else, I should head back home now.”
She turned around and was ready to leave.
Jordan didn’t stop her either. He just gave her a smile from afar.
After Elspeth returned home, she thought about it for a long time, but still decided to tell Callum about everything that had happened today. To avoid arousing his suspicion, she made up a reason for going to a caf? to erase the event of her meeting Timothy.
“Seriously, what’s wrong with Arthur? First, he wanted to be in a relationship with me, and now, he wants to marry me. What benefit will he get if he gets me?”
She still couldn’t understand Arthur’s intention now, but she just felt that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Every move he made was calculated.
“Arthur said that he wants to marry you?”
When he heard the word, he felt strange all of a sudden, but he realized the reason for what Arthur was doing very quickly.
It had been quite some time that Arthur had been pestering Elspeth. Different from Edmund’s competitiveness and Blake’s jokes, Arthur approached her with an intention that seemed like he had found some benefit that he had desired for a long time from Elspeth.
“Yes. That psycho. I thought that he was a good guy when I first met him, but it turns out that he’s the most
“We still don’t know what Arthur’s intention is. Since he knows the whole truth, he will definitely think of a way to stop you from obtaining the evidence and stop my mom from waking up.”
It seems like my concern was right. Arthur is no angel.
“Previously, Lydia’s mother died because Ophelia secretly changed her medicine, which caused her condition to worsen. If you’re free, you should check on your mother’s medicine. Who knows if you might find some problems there? As for her transfer, you need to be careful about Arthur hiding her data. That will affect the transfer formalities. Oh, by the way, remember to rest more. You can change your shift with me. I can look after Mrs. Winthrop…. Of course, that is if you trust me,”
Elspeth blathered all the way, but Callum suddenly kept quiet on the other side of the phone.
“Hello? Is the line bad?”
She thought that something was wrong with her line and that Callum didn’t hear what she said just now.
Sometime later, a sound of cloth rustling came from the other side of the phone.
After being silent for a long time, only then did he ask,
“Why are you helping my mom? I remember she treated you badly.”
When she heard that, she was stunned at first, but she took a deep breath and answered with a smile,
“Because she’s your mother.”
That’s your mother. No matter what she did to hurt me, I will still help her because you will be upset without her. She didn’t say those words, but she knew that he would understand what she tried to imply.
“I want to tell you something, Elspeth.”
His tone wasn’t as cold anymore; it had turned serious.
“Let’s be together when everything’s over.”
On this arid night, only the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard, but Elspeth could hear her heart pounding as well. Her heart was suddenly beating so quickly because for those words to come out of Callum’s mouth, it meant that he was 100 percent serious about it.
“Okay.”
When Callum heard her answer, he couldn’t react for a second.
“Didn’t you say that you will only be with me after I pursue you?”
She smiled.
“If I waited for that, I don’t know how many seasons might have changed.”
She supposed he was the kind of man who knew nothing about romance. Previously, she had looked through his past with his first girlfriend, but they were all just mundane memories. They didn’t even kiss.
Hearing that, he felt strange all of a sudden.
“So?”
Meanwhile, drowsiness struck her, and she yawned, so she wanted to prepare for bed.
“So, let’s sleep. It’s late already. Let’s talk about the rest later.”
Without much warning, she hung up the phone, leaving Callum feeling miserable on the other side of the phone.
On the next day, Elspeth woke up in the early morning, and she wanted to look for Harper to discuss what they were going to do next. However, just as she entered her car and wanted to start the engine, she suddenly found out that her car was out of gas.
This was a rather remote place, so getting a cab was impossible under normal circumstances, but without a car, she couldn’t leave this place.
“Good morning, Miss Lynwood.”
Jordan woke up early today too. When he saw her troubled look, he couldn’t help but smile.
“What happened, Miss Lynwood? Are you in trouble?”
“No.”
Although she answered ‘no’, he could see everything.
“Has your car run out of gas? It’s okay. I have a few cars, I can lend you one.”
He was pretty generous, as he took out a car key from his pocket right away and handed it to her.
Seeing that, she took a step back.
“It’s fine. Thank you.”
She would need to owe him one if she borrowed his stuff, but she didn’t want anything to do with him at all.
“Don’t worry. I’m not someone who would take advantage of a person in trouble.”
When he saw her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You can take it. Don’t need to return it to me.”
“Why are you here?”
After asking that, she suddenly had a bigger doubt.
“How do you know I’m here?”
Without any expression, he said calmly,
“Hop in. I’ll drive you.”
Yet, she didn’t react immediately as she said blankly,
“What?”
“Don’t let me repeat.”
Seeing this scene unfold from the side, Jordan smiled, but with a sense of coldness.
