Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 178

be shy. I won’t press you for answers.”After the butler heard those words, he couldn’t help but shudder. “Didn’t I prepare a guest room for you last night, Mr. Winthrop? Why…”He never expected the two to sleep together, even though Michael had explicitly ordered them to sleep separately last night.Elspeth seemed to realize upon hearing the butler’s mutterings. Sure enough, a glint of murderous intent appeared in her eyes. “Callum Winthrop… There was a guest room prepared for you, wasn’t there?”Callum rotated his wrists with an indifferent expression. “The bed in the guest room is too hard. I couldn’t sleep well.”What bed would be harder than the ground? She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “You sure are something.”He graced her with a small smile. “I know how capable I am. But there are others here. It’s inappropriate to talk about that here.”After he said that, he glanced at the butler with a seemingly unintentional look.The butler smiled awkwardly, cold sweat pouring profusely down his back. Why are they telling me about their bedroom matters? If old Mr. Joneson discovers that I failed in my task, I might be fired on the spot! The butler cursed vehemently at Callum in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be pleasant and generous on the surface. “I don’t know anything. Old Mr. Joneson is calling for me, so I have to go.”Elspeth had never seen the butler walking so quickly before. Yet, she merely turned to roll her eyes at Callum when she saw the butler fleeing in panic.“Why are you giving me that look?”She took a deep breath, trying to restrain her temper for her sanity’s sake. “I’m going to the hospital to visit Frank later. Will you be coming with me?”The humor in Callum’s eyes vanished instantly when he thought about how she was running around every day because of other men. “No.”She looked at the sulky expression on his face and asked coolly, “Why? Are you planning to stay at home and have tea with Grandfather?”When his mind brought up the vision of the old man who was clearly unhappy with him yet had to fake a genial appearance, he furrowed his eyebrows deeply. “In that case, I will drive you there.”So, they cleaned themselves up without further ado. Then, they left the house and headed to the hospital in Callum’s car.Inside the hospital, Frank was chatting away with Spencer. When he saw Elspeth and Callum walking over, he quirked his eyebrows lightly at the sight of them coming together.“You’re here.”When she saw that Frank seemed to be fine, she was secretly amazed by his speedy recovery. “Let me check your back.”“No!”“No!”Two voices rang out at the same time. Frank was one of pure awkwardness and embarrassment. On the other hand, Callum looked cold and forbidding. His expression almost seemed like he was about to skin Frank alive.“I am a doctor. Why are the both of you kicking such a fuss?”Therefore, she decided to strong-arm her way through their rejection as she lifted the cloth covering Frank’s back without warning. She looked at the flesh that was gradually healing on his back and nodded in satisfaction. “You’re recovering well. It’ll probably finish healing in another two or three days.”Frank never imagined that a woman would possess such strength. She held his arm so firmly that he couldn’t even budge.“Elspeth, are you really a woman?”She looked at how easily he was being manipulated and mockingly said, “If I’m not a woman, would that make you one?”A man being held down by a woman. Just who is more humiliated here?Frank flushed, shamefaced, but he could not refute her words.At this point, Callum’s expression was as dark as the bottom of the pot. He suddenly felt highly irritated when he was forced to watch their playful yet casual interaction. “Are you done?”Frank’s self-preservation radar probably died from discomfort earlier, as he even had the heart to joke teasingly, “What’s this? Are you jealous? I can’t believe you’re jealous
