Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 319

tell anyone that I’m still alive. Just treat these as my last words, seeing how I once loved you.”Sobbing, she knew that she would cry if she were to continue talking, so upon seeing that he did not react to her words, she took it as him agreeing to it.Elspeth then called for a cab before getting in and leaving.I think this is it. It’s truly over.…Depressed, Elspeth returned to Arthur’s home. Arthur, who was watering the plants in the garden, saw that Elspeth was walking dejectedly toward him. She did not even seem to notice him. Arthur stopped what he was doing.“Why did you look like you got your soul sucked out when you just went to request help?”Arthur’s teasing did not elicit any response from her.“What’s up? Your makeup is all smeared. Did you cry?”His closing in for a further observation seemed to enrage Elspeth.“Can you just get away from me? Don’t touch me!”“What’s wrong with you?”Originally, Arthur only wanted to care for her, but her attitude made him unhappy too.“Alright, alright. I won’t ask.

Thanks for telling me this.”Smiling tiredly, she knew that he really was disappointed in her and any last feelings left for her had vanished.This was also a good thing because she would not be burdened by anything if she got married to Arthur.“I know you must be feeling like crap inside. If you want to cry, then just cry. I’m here for you.”Gilbert felt pitiful for her.This was because Elspeth was recalcitrant, in that she did not give up once throughout the three years that she tried to court him. Toward Callum, she gave even more of her time in this relationship. Callum is a real b*stard for doing this.Elspeth must be miserable.“I’m not sad. I’ve already gotten used to this. He didn’t like me in the past, so he’s announcing this only to give me a reply.”Gilbert sighed in response. “Okay. If you want someone to talk to, just call me. I’ll be there twenty-four seven.”Finding no strength left to speak, she was afraid she would expose her true self if she continued the call.Feeling choked, she was about to cry.“I’ll be hanging up now.”Elspeth hung up directly.“So, Callum broke the engagement off. Makes sense why you threw a tantrum as soon as you got back.”Arthur had a bit
