Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 298

Elspeth’s lips twitched. But it’s good. At least they can get along now.Edmund knew what Elspeth was thinking, and he sneered. “Don’t think I’m going to get along with him. Now that I’m not part of the Winthrops, I don’t have to hold back anymore. I can fight him with all my might.”“And even then, you’d still lose,” muttered Elspeth.Edmund heard it, and his face fell. “Elspeth!”Elspeth held her laughter back and changed the topic. “Why don’t I take you to Mr. Irving’s place?

He could feel his heart coming to a stop just from delight alone when he finally heard the knock on the door.Elspeth led Edmund into the house. Edmund thought the man before him was unfamiliar, but he felt a sense of familiarity.
