Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 242

Hearing that, the woman shook her head in shock. “I’m sorry for disturbing you.”Then, she left the place in a hurry.Elspeth looked at Eric and stroked his head with a smile. “Don’t be afraid, Eric. She’s just a woman.”Callum remarked impassively, “What a useless man.”Feeling displeased, Eric stamped his foot on the ground and said to Callum, “If you were me, would you have accepted her?”Elspeth fell into her thoughts for a moment before she lifted Callum’s chin and said frivolously, “I’m pretty wealthy. Do you want to get together with me?”Callum replied with a smile, “Sure. However, I must be your only one.”A pleased Elspeth landed a kiss on the man’s lips, not caring about the presence of others.When Eric saw that, he put on a bitter smile. “You guys are flirting, but I was harassed by a middle-aged woman. Are both incidents even the same?”After Elspeth was done flirting with Callum, she was exhilarated. “Alright, we’d better hurry up. It’ll be lunchtime soon.”It was tiring to walk up the mountain in winter. The temperature was low at the peak, so they could see their breaths turning into a fog.Eric nodded with an excited expression, for it was his first time visiting an abbey in Chars. Since he was eager to explore, he soon forgot about what had happened earlier.They then headed straight to Waeldestone Abbey.Upon their arrival, a stone statue at the entrance caught Eric’s attention.“This stone is ugly. Why did they put it in such a conspicuous spot?”A baffled Eric went over and touched it.Elspeth promptly slapped his hand away. “Stop saying nonsense. He’s a famous figure in the local area. Since you’re from another country, you probably have a different view of beauty.”Suddenly, Eric sighed with an aggrieved expression. “I don’t think so. At the very least, all of us think you’re beautiful.”Upon finishing his words, he realized that Callum was glowering at him.He’s a petty man who gets mad when someone else compliments his girlfriend!Elspeth took a look at them and felt speechless. Then, she shuffled toward the pink silk tree on her own.It was a short tree. Love-seeking people would tie wooden strips to the low-hanging branches using red threads. As the wind blew through the tree, the wooden strips would thud against each other. It was a beautiful sight to behold.Elspeth followed the tradition and picked up a wooden strip with a red thread. Then, she meticulously wrote some words on it and carefully tied it to a branch.Callum and Eric were looking in another direction. When Elspeth realized that no one was paying attention to her, she left the place without any worries.Unbeknownst to her, Callum had been observing her from the corner of his eye.
