Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 61 Margot’s Medical Emergency

“Is love that important?” Arthur’s words sounded ridiculous in Elspeth’s ears. She retorted, “It is indeed important! Why would you even be with someone if you do not love her? Arthur, what else do you consider more important than your relationships?”

He was taken aback at her surprising remark. “There are of course more important priorities! You can’t only live for relationships alone.”

In his life philosophy, relationships were the most useless of all. He was so practical and detached that he appeared to be devoid of emotions.

“That’s enough. I hope you will stop asking me to date you before you figure out the definition of love.” She flashed a smile at him and finally clutched her luggage, ready to leave.

Elspeth was immediately stopped by the butler once she marched out of the doors of the Winthrop Family. “Miss Lynwood, you can’t do this! How should I explain it to Mr. Winthrop if you leave?” Mr. Graham stared at her with a troubled expression.

“I’m moving out of the Winthrop Residence, not severing ties with the family. Mr. Graham, take it easy.” She almost chuckled at his efforts at blocking her.

Callum ran into Elspeth and Mr. Graham at the entrance upon his return. He looked slightly uneasy at the sight of Elspeth’s departure but pretended to look unconcerned. “Where are you going?”

“None of your business.” Elspeth fired back and rolled her eyes. The fact that Ophelia tagged along with Callum only strengthened Elspeth’s resolve to leave.

Ophelia appeared dumbstruck. “Elspeth, why are you moving out of the Winthrop Residence?”

Despite the tone of her question, she was secretly overjoyed at Elspeth’s exit. Great! Elspeth has finally given up and wanted out! That girl is no match for me!

“You don’t have to worry about that. Isn’t this good news for you?” Elspeth smirked at Ophelia’s pretense. The latter instantly felt unfairly accused. “Elspeth, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean it that way. I—”

Callum finally spoke up. “That’s enough. Stop bullying Ophelia.”
