Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 277

the pile of clothes.Her heart was a mess.Just then, someone knocked on her door. The sound was very light and based on its frequency, it sounded like Callum’s habitual knock.Elspeth opened the door to see Callum standing in front of her. His lips were pursed, and there was a dull light in his eyes.“Are you going out tonight?”Elspeth opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say anything.By the looks of it, Callum must have heard their conversation and misunderstood something. “Yes, I’m going out tonight to celebrate Gilbert’s return.”This matter was as normal as could be, but Elspeth saw a look of disappointment flitting across his eyes.“What’s the matter?” Elspeth asked carefully.Callum’s shoulders drooped as he shook his head and said, “Nothing. Go ahead. Don’t come back too late.”Elspeth gulped. “You’re not jealous, are you?”“No.” How can I not be jealous?Still, Callum didn’t say those words and smiled at her instead.After bidding goodbye, he turned around and went back to the corridor, then leaned against the wall.The notifications on his phone were ringing non-stop. With great effort, he took out his phone and watched as photos were being sent to him. His heart sank.In the photos, Elspeth and Gilbert seemed quite intimate with each other. They visited the amusement park, went on the merry-go-round, had dumplings, and even shared an ice cream.Toward the end, he received a photo of a yellowed love letter with exquisite handwriting.The letter was signed ‘Elspeth’.As Callum looked at those photos, his heart seemed to have constricted, and he couldn’t breathe.The photo transfer was finally complete, and Arthur’s name blinked on the screen.‘Callum, you probably don’t know that Elspeth liked someone when she was overseas, right?’‘Yup, that man is her mentor.

That love letter was written so well that even I found it blinding.’‘Callum, has Elspeth ever treated you like that?’Arthur’s messages came to a stop, and that was the last message in the chatroom.Callum lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes quivering.‘You have no right to discuss our private matters.’After Callum sent the message, he locked his phone.The door to Elspeth’s room was already shut, and a wall separated the two.Callum stared at it for a while, then sighed deeply and walked away.In the bedroom, Elspeth only felt confused.Callum’s behavior today was too odd. In the past, even if he were jealous, he would force her to apologize and surrender, so why did he look so hurt just now?She took out her phone, typed out a string of words, then
