Callum hugged her from behind and said in a pitiful tone, “One month is too long for me. Can’t we shorten it a little?”
“One month is my lowest limit. I was going to say 6 months just now.”
She was unexpectedly stubborn about these things.
There wasn’t any secret behind this; it was simply too painful for her.
It hurt so much that she kept sobbing last night, but the thunder was even louder than her sobs, so even if she cried until she lost her voice, he didn’t let her off.
“Maybe a discount, please?”
Callum rubbed his head against her back. His hair was fluffy and it tickled her neck.
“Callum, you don’t know how to control yourself at all!”
Elspeth was fuming as if she had experienced the worst treatment in her life.
“It was my first time. I didn’t have any experience prior to that. I’ll look out next time,” Callum explained patiently.
As soon as he said that, Elspeth’s annoyance instantly turned into shock.
“You were a virgin?!”
The term ‘virgin’ made Callum feel a little awkward.
“Can’t you put it in a better way?”
Elspeth was already speechless from the shock. Callum was popular with the women, so she couldn’t believe that he was actually a virgin.
“I didn’t think you’d be so… chaste.”
“Chaste?”
Callum wasn’t quite informed about these things, so when he saw her laughing her butt off, he thought it was something negative. He immediately frowned. “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing, just-“
This fact was something she could be more or less happy about.
Elspeth was beaming when she looked at Callum, suddenly feeling that the pain she experienced last night wasn’t that unacceptable.
Even though Callum didn’t know what she was talking about, she seemed quite happy, so he decided not to ask further about it.
At that thought, he suddenly remembered some scenes from last night, and his gaze gradually deepened.
In his arms, Elspeth could feel something off and her face turned red in an instant. “What are you doing -“
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly sealed, and the rest of her sentence was cut off by him.
“Making babies.”
Callum’s voice was hoarse and deep, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became heated.
Elspeth didn’t even have time to glare at him as she became weak from his kisses.
Damn, this guy is too good at this, she thought.

Meanwhile, Yelena had been frequenting the law firm for an entire week.
Every morning, she would pretend like it was an accidental meeting, then try to talk to him.
However, he maintained an impassive expression every time, as if he wasn’t interested in her at all. He didn’t seem annoyed by her, but he didn’t look like he would humor her either.
This disappointed her a little.
Nevertheless, she had always been a persistent person. Seeing him like that, she felt a little desolate, but she perked up soon after and continued hitting on him.
This went on until the morning of the 7th day. When she pretended to bump into him with soy milk and waffles in her hands, Hank finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Can you just stop appearing in front of me?”
Yelena shook her head. “No can do. I like you, so I insist on showing up in front of you.”
The bold confession didn’t move his heart one bit. Yelena gazed at his cold expression, then she suddenly felt despair.
“You weren’t like this before. Why are you as cold as ice now?”
The term ‘virgin’ made Callum feel a little awkward.
“Can’t you put it in a better way?”
Yelena crouched by the road and took a huge bite of the waffle. Unfortunately, the bite was too huge, so she choked on it.
Yelena crouched by the road and took a huge bite of the waffle. Unfortunately, the bite was too huge, so she choked on it.
“I was never obliged to keep humoring you. Did you have the illusion that I would keep being nice to you simply because I was nice to you before?”
His words were extremely cold and distant, and even Yelena was stunned.
“I-“
Because of the waffle in her mouth, Yelena’s words were muffled, but the sobs in her throat were also concealed.
“So, if there’s nothing important, stop appearing in front of me. I didn’t want to tell you off before, but now I’m really annoyed. Thoroughly annoyed.”
Thoroughly annoyed?
Yelena looked down at her toes, fearing that she might see the coldness in his eyes.
“Got it. I won’t bother you anymore,” Yelena said in a small voice, then turned around and left.
Hank stood a distance away. Seeing her slightly drooping shoulders, he grunted, then gritted his teeth a little as he said, “Don’t persist if you can’t hold out until the end. I’ve never seen anyone pursue their love interests like this.”
What did he mean by that?
Yelena’s disappointment immediately went away as she turned around to look at him. There was a gleam of anticipation in her eyes as she asked, “So you’re admitting that I’m pursuing you, right?”
She was pursuing him, not relentlessly pestering him. Even though his words were harsh, he was clearly trying to get her to stay.
It made her feel embarrassed, though, as if she were a simp.
Hank didn’t directly respond to Yelena’s words. He turned around emotionlessly, then walked past her into the law firm.
Seeing him like that, Yelena felt the fog in her heart clearing up in an instant. She even started humming in joy.
Seeing Hank going upstairs, Yelena went into the office as well to look for Summer. Then, Yelena gave the latter a serving of the soy milk and waffles she was carrying.
These days, she would always come over and share her breakfast with Summer. Summer was already used to it, so she took the food and started munching on the waffles with Yelena.
Summer tore off a piece of the waffle and tossed it into her mouth. Suddenly, surprise colored her eyes as she said, “There’s Nutella and biscuits inside! How novel!”
“Yes, I discovered this new menu recently. It doesn’t taste too bad, does it?”
Yelena raised her chin at Summer gleefully. This was the most delicious waffle she had after trying out all the shops nearby, so of course, it wouldn’t be too shabby.
“It’s delicious! But how’s it going between you and Mr. Damazio? Does he still hate you?”
Yelena hadn’t even swallowed the waffle in her mouth when she snatched Summer’s waffle away and said fiercely, “What are you talking about? When has he ever hated me?”
