Elspeth nodded smilingly.
“That’s right.She also said that she hopes you’ll live well and find the truly right person.”
Max stood up.
The icy wind from the lake blew in, and he immediately started shivering.
Elspeth knew that this was going to happen, so she took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck.
“All right, you’re probably getting over it now.
Max nodded.
Even though he was still in a low mood, he was considerably better compared to before.
“Thank you, Elspeth.”
“You’re welcome.I’m just trying to counsel you a little, and I hope you’ll feel better soon”
Elspeth thought for a bit.
“How’s this sound? Tomorrow, I’ll get Callum to take you drinking at Luna Bar.You might get to know someone new”
“Hahaha, Elspeth, don’t mock me like this.I no longer have the desire to be in a relationship.Now, I just want to do the things I love.”
Elspeth was surprised.
“What is it?”
The bright expression returned to Max’s face as he said, “Have you forgotten what my hobby is?”
“Racing?”
“That’s right.Some time ago, I was invited to participate in a racing competition overseas.I never fully considered it because I had to train overseas for half a year to participate.”
He gazed up at the moon in the sky, then let out a long sigh.
“But now, I suddenly want to go.It’s just half a year of training, and it’s not too bad if I can achieve something in the field I love.”
Elspeth was moved.
Max must have been hesitant to go because of Yelena.Now that he lost Yelena, he doesn’t want to lose his passion and dreams as well.
“I support you, and I believe Yelena would support you too.”
Max nodded with a faint smile on his face.
“I know that she had always been supportive of me pursuing my passions, but I didn’t want to leave her, so I never agreed.”He couldn’t just stay defeated after a breakup and remain down forever.
That would be too embarrassing.
If Yelena knew about that, she would look down on him.
“All right, I’ll register tomorrow.I’ll turn in early tonight, so good night, Elspeth”
Max smiled as he took off the scarf and passed it to her.
“You should hold on to this.If Callum knew that I was wearing your scarf, he would kill me”
“You’re exaggerating it.”
Despite saying so, she still accepted the scarf.
Callum caused such a huge ruckus because of the love letter last time; hence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he got mad this time as well.
All in all, he probably shouldn’t see Max wearing her scarf.
After Max left, Elspeth was about to walk back when a dark figure suddenly popped up behind a bush.
Elspeth’s hearing was very keen, and she immediately prepared herself for battle.
The next moment, the dark figure dashed to her and surprisingly hugged her.
When Elspeth caught a whiff of the familiar scent, she sighed in relief.
“Callum, what’s with the jump scare?”
“I saw you wrapping a scarf around him just now.
He was speaking through gritted teeth.
Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat.She could never hide from his watch, no matter how much she tried.
“Have you been listening in all this while?”
“What’s wrong with me listening in when my wife is talking to another man?’ Callum wasn’t mad at first, but when he saw Elspeth comforting Max and putting a scarf on the latter, he felt upset for some reason.
“I was just counseling him, but it sounds so weird when you put it like that, as if there’s something going on between us.”
Callum turned her around to face him, then stared at her red lips and proceeded to bite them.
“Yes, I was jealous.So what?”
The unwarranted jealousy was actually a little nonsensical, but Callum was upset, so Elspeth couldn’t say much about it. She could only endure it while silently complaining about how much it hurt to get bitten by him.
“You’re not allowed to comfort him anymore. Ignore him if he can’t get over it. Just leave him be.”
The look in Callum’s eyes was dark, and it was clearly visible even at night.
“Come on, don’t be so stingy. He’s your brother and my brother-in- law. How can I just stand by and watch as he falls to his ruin?”
Callum’s expression improved ever so slightly when he heard the word ‘in-law’.
“I know you’re his sister-in-law, but you should still maintain some distance from him.”
So what if they were siblings-in-law? They shouldn’t get so close to each other anyway.
“All right, got it. Let’s go back now. It’s getting late, and we should sleep early.”
Callum nodded, then took her hand as they went back to the villa. Lisa and Blake didn’t stay with them, so they left early on.
Notably, when Blake knew that his room was taken by someone else, he couldn’t do anything about it, even if he cried and screamed. He could only allow himself to be dragged away by Lisa as he put on a resentful expression.
On that note, Elspeth suddenly realized something. Blake had always maintained a gentlemanly image, but for some reason, ever since he got together with Lisa, he had turned into a fool, and he was not just any ordinary fool.
Regardless, she didn’t intend to think too much about these things. She just found it amusing that his expressions were gaining variety as time went by.
He had affected Lisa’s mood as well, and she was considerably livelier. This was a good thing, at least.
Early the next morning, Callum woke up and urged Elspeth to go to work. Before this, when Elspeth stayed at the Winthrop Residence, she had a tendency to sleep in.
The two were married, so he didn’t mind it as much as he opened the door to her room straight away. Even though Elspeth spent more time sleeping, her posture was decent as she faced the morning sun. Her sleeping face was bathed in the sunlight.
She looked a little cuter compared to her cold self in the past. Callum subconsciously stepped forward, then bent down and softly kissed the corner of her lips.
Perhaps sensing the subtle kiss, Elspeth instantly opened her eyes. When she saw an enlarged handsome face right in front of her eyes, Elspeth was so startled that she screamed.
“What are you doing?”
Callum also realized that he was being a little reckless, so he looked away awkwardly. He took a few steps back and pretended to tidy the clothes.
