Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 195

her gaze.Emma’s heart was bursting with pride. Subconsciously, she stepped forward and took the man’s arm, saying with a smile, “Callum and I used to dine there every day back when we were in university. Tuna sushi was his favorite.”Unused to having someone else on his arm, Callum pulled his arm out of her grasp.Elspeth retorted in a sarcastic voice, “In that case, do you know that Callum has been suffering from gastric problems and can’t eat raw and cold food since he started working?”Emma had been away for so many years, so how could she know about these things? Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she quickly said, “Um, how about we go somewhere else—” She really loved Callum and feared that he might get an upset stomach from eating raw food.

This strengthened her belief that he was hiding something from her.At the end of the meal, she split up with Emma and Callum.Thinking that Elspeth couldn’t stand the man being nice to her, Emma smilingly left on Callum’s arm.Meanwhile, Elspeth suddenly received a phone call from Yelena. “Yelena, where are you right now?” There seemed to be a ridiculously loud noise on Yelena’s end of the line, and she even heard a cat’s shrill screeches. She asked worriedly, “What happened?”Yelena could be heard sobbing fitfully on the other end of the phone. “Elspeth, I’m now in Max’s villa! My cousin somehow found out that
