Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 198

nothing; he had no intention of sticking up for her at all.Elspeth didn’t want to continue listening to Emma babbling. She turned to look at the man right away, asking, “Callum, are you going home?”Callum didn’t answer her. Not only that, he even slowly closed his eyes.Emma taunted, “Say, Elspeth, are you blind or something? Callum is obviously in a bad mood. Aren’t you upsetting him by pushing him to go home right now?” Thinking she knew Callum very well, she spoke in a voice full of consideration for the man.Elspeth looked daggers at her. “It’s not your place to interrupt when I’m speaking to Callum!”She had a pair of pretty eyes that were full of tenderness, but when they were ablaze with fury, even Emma had the daylights scared out of her, to the extent that she shuddered with fright.Only then did Callum slowly say, “You go home first, Elspeth.”He was openly chasing her away.Elspeth took a step forward. Seeing how Callum’s eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool of water, she could hardly suppress the bitterness in her heart. “Callum, are you telling me to leave?”Callum said nothing while looking as usual.Elspeth took a deep breath. Then, she said impassively, “I’m staying.”“Don’t you know what’s good for yourself, Elspeth? Callum already asked you to leave, so why are you insisting on staying?” Emma was inwardly pleased with herself. She was understandably delighted, for Callum had defended her without hesitation in front of Elspeth. As expected, as long as I keep at it, Callum will fall in love with me again sooner or later!“Talk nonsense again and I’ll have you thrown out of here, Emma!” Elspeth wished she could stitch up Emma’s lips when she saw how Emma kept going on at her.Emma let out a snort of laughter. “You want to have me thrown out of here? Who do you think you are? This place isn’t yours!”“This place is mine.” Elspeth stood while looking down at Emma, being a head taller than the latter.Emma’s countenance changed at once. “What do you mean?”“This bar is mine. Don’t you worry that I’ll have you thrown out of here after you yelled at me on my turf like that?”Elspeth loved to see the look on Emma’s face when the latter was displeased with her yet unable to do anything about her.Just when the atmosphere between the three grew somewhat awkward, Harper came over after having gotten Brianna settled. When he saw how Emma clung to Callum, who didn’t turn her down right away, his inner dislike for the man grew. Then, looking at Elspeth beside them, he let out a whistle, saying, “Elspeth, why are you here? Everyone’s looking for you. The young man in a basketball jersey just now liked you a lot. He even asked me for your phone number, so I gave it to him.”Callum’s hands balled into fists in secret when he heard this.Harper continued, “I was sorry about that at first, Mr. Winthrop, but judging from the way you look, I guess you won’t mind it. After all… you’re having another lady in your arms.” Although he addressed Callum respectfully as Mr. Winthrop, his words were full of ridicule and disdain for the latter.Seeing no change in the man’s expression, Elspeth was disappointed deep down. “Let’s go.”“Yeah, come on! They’re
