Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 315

another country…” Elspeth immediately stopped in her tracks when she realized she had said something she shouldn’t have.However, even though Elspeth didn’t finish her sentence, Gilbert felt a trace of uneasiness. “According to the information I got, she’s currently in the country, so why are you saying that she’s abroad? Do you know where she is?”“That’s your girlfriend, not mine. Why would it matter to me where she is? How would I know?”Elspeth quickly deflected and was about to hang up at once, but Gilbert cut her off with a furious tone. “You’re not allowed to hang up until you clear things up.” Since the cat was out of the bag, Elspeth had no choice but to explain, “Well, a while back, Elias saved me from the ocean, right? So, I followed him back to the Coles and found out that Ginna is his fiancée, but I think she doesn’t like him and has been trying to call off the engagement.”Elspeth’s tone was slightly sheepish and apologetic.It wasn’t right for her to keep this from Gilbert when she was his friend.She helped Ginna keep this a secret because she was afraid that this information might affect the couple’s relationship, but she never would’ve thought that Gilbert wasn’t interested in Ginna at all. It was merely Ginna’s one-sided love.There was no answer for quite some time, but Elspeth could sense that things had gotten quite frosty on the other side of the call.Gilbert was truly infuriated.“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”As soon as Elspeth’s voice got a little louder, she heard footsteps outside her door, so she quickly hid under the blanket and lowered her voice. “That’s all I know. I don’t know anything else,” she said like an errant child confessing her wrongdoing.“It’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” Gilbert rubbed his temples. He seemed frustrated.“What do you plan on doing now?”Elspeth’s joking admonishments annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our drinks. The women are waiting for us.”Elspeth did care about Gilbert, which included his love life. He was a close friend and they had braved dangers together after all.“I won’t be able to check up on you for the time being. I need to make a trip to Sunholde.”Elspeth exhaled in relief as she replied understandingly, “Sure. I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”Gilbert sounded a little hesitant. “Well, you understand, right, Elspeth? It’s not because I’m concerned…”Naturally, Elspeth knew what he meant and chuckled before side-stepping the subject.“Hurry up and get on with whatever it is you’re doing. I’ve got something to do so I’m hanging up now.”She quickly ended the call.Meanwhile, Gilbert fell into a daze as he stood there with his phone still in hand.A few women came over and caressed his back.“Let’s have a drink, Mr. Payne.”“Oh, Mr. Payne!”“Scram!” Gilbert, who had been smirking devilishly just moments ago, instantly blew his top as his temper flared up.The women beside him fled in fright.Only Harper knew why Gilbert was suddenly incensed……Elspeth spent three torturous days living with Arthur.Why was it torturous for her?This guy’s routine is too ridiculous!Waking up at 5.00AM to go on a run around the villa? What’s more, he keeps shouting the whole time!Although Arthur’s voice was pleasant to the ears, it was still too hard for her to accept this habit of
