“If I said I wanted to see you get changed, it’d make me sound licentious.”
I did want to see her get changed, Callum thought.
“You wanted to see my naked body. You’re a terrible guy!”
Elspeth rolled her eyes. Despite that, a part of her heart melted.
“Alright, please forgive me. To show how apologetic I am, I’ll pay for everything today.”
Hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle.
On the other hand, Eric’s eyes sparkled as he asked,
“Will you pay for me as well?”
“You’ll either pay for yourself or pay for all three of us.”
A dejected Eric hung his head low.
As they chatted among themselves and ambled forward, they soon reached Waeldestone Abbey, which wasn’t far away from the hotel.
Waeldestone Abbey was a well-known spot in the area, and it was said to be the best place to pray for love.
It was tiring to walk up the mountain. Eric didn’t have much physical strength, so he soon moaned in exhaustion.
Since he didn’t have much strength left, he had no choice but to use a cable car.
“It’s not a long distance. Do you even need to use a cable car?”
Elspeth sounded scornful.
Although Eric was embarrassed, he still looked expectantly at her.
“Can you take the cable car with me? I’ll feel lonely if I have to use it on my own.”
Naturally, Elspeth wouldn’t want to take the easy path, so she directly turned him down.
“Use it on your own. Callum and I aren’t that weak.”
Eric drew a deep breath and took the cable car on his own.
On the other hand, Callum and Elspeth continued to walk up the mountain.
Since the weather was gloomy, not many chose to trek up the mountain. Most of them took cable cars instead.
When they were in the middle of the mountain, a gale blew through them all of a sudden. It seemed that it was about to rain.
Callum turned to Elspeth and saw that her forehead was beaded with sweat, so he asked,
“Are you exhausted? Why don’t you get some rest?”
“We’d better hurry up, Callum. It’s going to rain at any moment. We won’t be able to walk when the ground becomes slippery.”
Hearing that, Callum stopped persuading her as he hastened his pace.
Just then, a clap of thunder was heard from the sky. It seemed that it was about to rain soon.
When they were 300 feet away from the peak, Elspeth noticed some rocks in the distance.
However, her expression changed drastically as she took a closer look.
“Callum!”
When Callum turned to her and saw that she was alarmed, he became vigilant at once.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look!”
Looking in the direction she pointed, Callum instantly saw that those originally unmoving rocks started rolling down the trail all of a sudden.
Callum managed to wrap his arms around Elspeth and rolled toward the underbrush with her in the nick of time.
The rocks rolled down the steps made from bluestones with a series of thuds.
Still reeling from the shock, Elspeth looked at the man.
“Fortunately, you saved me at the most critical moment. Otherwise, I would’ve been struck by the rocks.”
“Don’t say that.”
Callum looked up and saw several people disappearing into the darkness.
Just as he expected, some people had tried to harm them.
Elspeth squinted.
“They probably knew we’d be here, so they took the opportunity to harm us.”
“You’re intelligent.”
It wasn’t until the rocks were all gone that Callum pulled her up.
“We shouldn’t keep using the trail to prevent anyone from targeting us again.”
Callum took a deep breath and glanced at the thicket beside them.
“Why don’t we go up the mountain from here?”
All of a sudden, Elspeth had a strange idea.
“Are you trying to make out with me in the thicket?”
Callum thought, Are you alright?
“Fine, I’ll stop messing around. Let’s go.”
When Elspeth fished out her phone and saw over 20 missed calls, she rubbed her nose.
“I guess Eric must be anxious now.”
An unfazed Callum replied,
“Just let him wait.”
Elspeth knew that he only meant to mock Eric. Soon, they passed through the thicket together and finally reached the peak of the mountain.
When Eric saw them emerging from the thicket instead of the trail, he was shocked.
“Did you walk up the mountain or go on an adventure in the forest?”
A helpless Elspeth rolled her eyes.
“We were playing PUBG in real life.”
Eric scratched his head.
“I don’t get it.”
Thinking of something, Elspeth asked,
