Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 283

head and smiled. “The grudges are held between the previous generation and have nothing to do with me. Besides, the Jonesons merely gave birth to me without raising me. Why should I take over their grievances?”Margot was pleased to hear that. Beaming, she patted Elspeth’s hands in relief. “That’s good to hear.”“However… I heard from my dad that my mom left because of a fight between them. Did my mom contact you after all these years?”Then, Margot lowered her head and pondered for a moment before replying, “About ten years ago, she contacted me a few times. However, I didn’t tell Theodore because I was afraid he might still have lingering feelings for her. At that time, Edmund went missing for two days while Max was involved in a car accident. It felt like we were being cursed, but since then, your mother hasn’t shown up again, and I didn’t contact her either.” Going missing and a car accident… Elspeth narrowed her eyes as a bold idea popped into her mind. “Does that mean after my mother contacted you, accidents started happening one after another to the Winthrops?”“You can say so, but they might also be coincidences.”Suddenly, Margot felt conflicting emotions and stated, “If you want to look for your mother, I must tell you something beforehand. I suspect your mother knows your whereabouts and might have even shown up before you, but you couldn’t recognize her. Alternatively, she might have observed you silently all along, but some irresistible force is stopping you two from reuniting.”Elspeth knew it all too well. Who else could the irresistible force be besides Michael?!The accidents that happened one after another to the Winthrops were warnings Michael gave to her mother. If she tried to contact the Winthrops again, he would make things difficult for them!Elspeth narrowed her eyes as her hatred for Michael grew. “I understand the situation now, Mrs. Winthrop. Thanks for telling me.”“You’re welcome. You have the right to know about these things as her daughter.”After counting the minutes and realizing more than half an hour had passed, Margot finally collected herself and got up. “Now that you know the truth, you should take care of your health. Please tell your mother I said hi if you ever find her.”Elspeth nodded. “Sure. Thanks again, Mrs. Winthrop.”As Margot was leaving, Elspeth added, “Mrs. Winthrop, you’re a nice lady, and I can tell Mr. Winthrop likes you with all his heart.” Following that, she winked at her with a hint of playfulness.Margot’s face instantly flushed due to her remark. “Stop flattering me, you brat.” With that, she left while covering her face bashfully.Meanwhile, Elspeth smirked before falling into deep thought. In that case, I’ll have to return to Joneson House. On the other hand, Callum and I got engaged not too long ago, and my mom found a way to get the engagement gift to me using her own methods. So, it indicates that the situation is stable for the time being and that there is no pressing need for me to return.After pondering, she did some light stretching because she felt stiff from being in bed for so long. Suddenly, her eyes landed on the stew bowl on the table, and she instantly shuddered at the recollection of the various stews she had eaten over the past few days. Maybe I should throw them away.…Meanwhile, Elspeth was eager to return to work as soon as she felt better. She was informed that the crew would be filming in a studio in Blaydal. In addition, Timothy had already brought a group of actors over to the location. In other words, she
