Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Double Death

Elspeth first spent the past few days helping Lydia with her mother’s funeral arrangements. After that, she texted Arthur to ask him out.

Knowing that Elspeth wanted to find out what had happened to Lydia’s mother, Arthur agreed to meet her at the cafe around the corner. As soon as he entered, he saw her sitting at a nearby table. Her hair hung loose over her shoulders, and she appeared particularly tall and slender in a black dress. Seeing how she drank coffee across from him as though nothing had happened, he wondered if she was already numb with grief.

Elspeth put down her cup of coffee, her eyes gleaming. “You know my purpose in asking you out this time.”

“I’d still like to explain the matter to you. I really had nothing to do with it.”

She sneered. “Arthur, do you think I’ll believe you had nothing to do with it? Who else would be capable of such a thing if not you?”

Angered by the lady’s words, Arthur nearly blurted out Ophelia’s name, but he eventually bit his tongue. Instead, he replied, “Let me repeat this: I had nothing to do with it. If you don’t believe me, just go ahead and look into it. If I’m the one who swapped the medicine, I’ll die a horrible death.”

Elspeth didn’t seem convinced by his words. She stared at the man’s face, thinking it would never be the first time anyone had sworn in that manner. Her hands clenched into fists under the table. “You can say whatever you want, but I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this. If I find out that it was your doing or that you had something to do with it, I’ll never let you get away with it.”

“Why are you so hostile to me, Elspeth? Don’t forget that you’re still my—”

She cut in, “Girlfriend, huh? Our contract has expired, Arthur. Not only are you a pervert, but I find that you also have quite a thick skin.” The thought that she had let this homicidal maniac touch her hand made her feel downright nauseous.
