Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 195

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. Hence, she suggested that they go somewhere else for lunch.However, Callum replied impassively, “No, it’s not necessary. This restaurant is fine.”“Alright, Callum, it’s up to you.” Emma looked at him gratefully. After all, this was the first time he had spared her feelings in front of Elspeth.Elspeth was seething with anger. Normally, she would’ve questioned Callum for this, but now, she couldn’t lose her temper and storm off easily. She sensed that the man was apparently avoiding her on purpose.The three thus went to lunch together, only this time, it was Elspeth who was playing gooseberry.Emma ordered some food that would suit Callum’s palate. Then, she asked, “Elspeth, do you have anything you’d like to eat?”Before Elspeth could reply, Callum answered, “She likes sashimi and tempura.”The smile on Emma’s face vanished instantly.Callum clammed up after finishing his sentence, and a brief silence fell upon them. The meal was extremely torturous, with Emma doing almost nothing else other than helping Callum with the food. When Elspeth looked up occasionally, she could see the man’s intense gaze resting upon her, only to shift away the next moment. 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 I’m here. Now that Max isn’t here, he’s been banging at the door!”No wonder I keep hearing muffled bangs. “Send me your address. I’ll be there in a minute.”Shortly after that, Yelena texted her the villa’s location.Elspeth rushed there by cab. As soon as she arrived, she saw a group of men banging at the door like crazy. Upon taking a closer look, she realized that they really were led by that Finn guy!Seeing how uncontrollable the men before them looked, the cab driver gulped in fright. “Miss, how about I help you call the cops?”Elspeth let out a sneer. “It’s fine, you don’t have to call the police. I’ll deal with him.”She got out of the cab and stood aside. Seeing how Finn smashed all kinds of miscellaneous items against the door, she curled her lips in disdain. “Finn, what are you doing? Playing music, huh?”Finn stopped. Having raised a racket here for half an hour, he was already tired and out of breath, but Yelena, that young lady, wouldn’t come out. “Elspeth? Why are you here?” For some reason, he panicked inwardly at the sight of Elspeth. Hasn’t she gone to Blaydal already? How did she come back so soon?Elspeth taunted, “Finn, you’re really quite something, eh? How dare you run amok on the Winthrop Family’s turf?”Finn wasn’t that afraid; with someone backing him up, he was greatly emboldened this time. “So what? I’m getting Yelena out of here today!”Elspeth took a step forward and caught hold of his hand to keep him from banging at the door again.
