“You can come with us.”
Eric nodded smilingly.
“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll return to the hotel and get some rest now.”
He was ready to hug Elspeth before he left, but he stopped when he caught sight of Callum’s stern gaze.
“That’s petty of you.”
Eric pressed his lips together.
After Eric was gone, Callum shifted his attention to Elspeth.
“Don’t you want to explain what’s going on?”
Having been a couple for so long, Callum had figured out Elspeth’s plan.
He was also aware of Eric’s identity and his relationship with Emma. Nonetheless, he was still upset, and as jealousy burned within him, he inched closer to Elspeth until her back was pressed against the wall.
“I shall settle the score with you now, Elspeth.”
The woman forced a smile.
“I can explain.”
“There’s no need to explain.”
As Callum watched how cautious she was, which was different from her usual self, the fire of lust rose within him.
“Kiss me, and I’ll forgive you.”
Elspeth was stunned, for she never expected Callum to come up with such a demand.
“There are people around us.”
They were not in the hotel at this moment. Although they were in the corner, they might draw the others’ attention.
“It’s fine. It’s dark here, so no one will see us clearly.”
As his Adam’s apple bobbed, Callum said in a hoarse voice,
“Come on.”
Left with no choice, a blushing Elspeth landed a peck on his cheek.
“That doesn’t count.”
Elspeth knew what he meant. To save herself from further embarrassment, she looked at the man’s thin lips and gritted her teeth before kissing him.
The next moment, she was pulled into the man’s embrace. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed her head against his chest.
“You mustn’t do that again.”
“There’s nothing between us. I only asked him for help. He’s Emma’s lover. In fact, Emma dumped you for him.”
Callum narrowed his eyes.
“You know I’m not doubting you. I’m just not happy that you weren’t frank with me.”
“Alright, I’ll be sure to tell you before I do anything in the future. That’s a promise.”
Elspeth put on a meek smile and wrapped her arms around the man’s shoulders before blowing some air at his neck.
Callum was pleased with her obedience.
“Alright, I’ll forgive you.”
Elspeth nodded and struggled out of his embrace.
“Okay, let’s go back and get some rest. We’re going to have fun tomorrow.”
Then, she added,
“Oh, don’t forget to bring Eric along with us.”
At the mention of that guy, Callum’s expression darkened again.
“Don’t bring him up!”
“Alright. I know you don’t like him, but since you’ve promised him, you should take him with us.”
Eric wasn’t a bad guy. Moreover, he appeared to have some special feelings for Callum. It seemed that it would be interesting to watch the two men interact with each other.
The next morning, Elspeth and Callum were still asleep in the hotel when she heard a series of rapid knocks at the door.
“Open the door, Elspeth! The sun is already up in the sky!”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Elspeth got out of bed with much difficulty and opened the door, only to see an excited Eric all dressed up.
“Whoa, Elspeth. You still look wonderful without any makeup on your face.”
After complimenting the woman, Eric looked around the room.
“Where’s Callum? Why don’t I see him?”
“I don’t sleep with Callum.”
“What’s going on? Aren’t you guys a couple?”
Eric came from a liberal country, so he didn’t understand why they were so conservative.
A helpless Elspeth said,
“Stop being so promiscuous. Just because we’re a couple, it doesn’t mean we have to sleep together. We’re not married yet, after all.”
“Oh.”
Eric’s eyes brightened instantly.
“Does that mean I still have a chance?”
“Eric, I’ve already turned you down-“
“Do you think Callum will accept me?”
Upon hearing that, Elspeth realized that she was wrong about what was on Eric’s mind.
Watching as Eric became infatuated with Callum, she felt as though she was the outsider. At that moment, she was vexed.
With a frown, she threatened him by saying,
“If you don’t stop lusting after Callum, I’ll call your dad and tell him to haul your *ss back to your country.”
Hearing the woman’s threat, Eric panicked in an instant.
“Don’t do that! You know that my dad is fond of you. If you say anything bad about me, he’ll teach me a lesson!”
Elspeth snorted.
“Behave yourself, then.”
