Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 330

provocations? How did things turn out like this? Is Callum’s boundaries really that… low? Although Elspeth secretly thought to herself in shock, she still said stubbornly, “I’m really expensive. Are you sure you can afford it?”“Why? Do I have to sell off Winthrop Group just so I can afford you?” Callum gradually leaned in, asking in a suggestive tone.His close proximity caused her ears to flush bright red. “So, what if you sell off the company? You might not be able to afford me even if you sell yourself.”“Then, tell me, how much do you want?”The gears turning in her head, Elspeth decided to give him an outrageous demand. “Since you said so, let’s decide on a lucky number.”“Oh?” Callum caressed a strand of her hair, his interest piqued.“How about 7 million per night? Sounds about right to me.”When he heard her request, his expression stiffened. “You really don’t hold back, huh.”Elspeth thought that would be sufficient to make him back off, but he unexpectedly became even more motivated.“That’s too little. How about 77 million? What do you think?”She rolled her eyes. “You’re kidding me.”Callum reached out and held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “You started it.”Elspeth’s face instantly flushed red. “I was just trying to keep you away from me.”The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more aggrieved she felt. He was the one who told her not to provoke him in the first place, so how was it her fault now? Callum, you jerk! None of the men in the Winthrop Family are any good!At that thought, she suddenly felt a calloused finger brushing past her eyes. Surprisingly, Callum was wiping her tears. She didn’t even realize she had been crying, and her tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.I’ve already cried twice today. How embarrassing.“You can hate me and dislike me, but you can’t stay here and do these things, understand?”Callum had never been so gentle to her after his great change in personality, and if it wasn’t because it was actually happening to her, she would never have dared to dream about it. Elspeth froze in her tracks, at a loss for what she should do to express her feelings.“I have my reasons for being here.”Callum frowned. “What reasons require you to sacrifice your body like this?”“Look, I’m not sacrificing my body. I have my own problems to solve.” Elspeth glared at him, her tone unkind as she continued, “But you showing up ruined my plans, and now I have to figure out how to contact that man again.”That man had what she needed, and if Callum hadn’t just messed things up, she would have been able to lure him into the room and threaten him, forcing him to hand over the things she needed. Just her luck!“Tell me. I can help you with anything,” Callum offered, unexpectedly enthusiastic.Elspeth couldn’t hold herself back from teasing him. “Why are you a concerned citizen today, Mr. Winthrop? Stop behaving like that. I’m not really used to it.”“Alright, enough talking back. Put something on and come with me.” Callum felt irritated every time he looked at her revealing clothes, so he simply took off his suit and draped it over her body.“Forget it.” Elspeth shook her head, avoiding the suit jacket that he had handed over as she said, “I already told you that I have things to do here. I’m not leaving.”Just as the two were at a standstill, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them. “What are you two doing here?”Calm, gentle, and firm. Those were the feelings Elspeth genuinely
