Chapter 359 Leaving the Villa

Elspeth knew that she wasn’t supposed to enter someone else’s room, but when she saw her medical report on Arthur’s table, she was mad at him for invading her privacy. “Why do you have my medical report?”

Arthur calmed himself down and curled up his lips. “What’s wrong? I’m just concerned about you.”

“I don’t need your concern. You’re invading my privacy like a pervert.”

Arthur frowned. Although he had been patient with her, he couldn’t accept what she had just said.

“So? What are you trying to say?”

“What I’m saying is I don’t want you to be concerned with my health conditions anymore.”

Upon finishing her words, she picked up the medical report and tore it apart.

Arthur didn’t utter a word while watching her action. A moment later, he asked impassively, “Are you able to treat your illness, then?”

Elspeth flared up. “It has nothing to do with you.”

“What are you talking about? You’re my fiancée. If anything happens to you, who is going to marry me?”

Elspeth glowered at him. “I only agreed to get engaged to you, but I didn’t say I was going to marry you.”

That’s some clever sophistry…

A helpless Arthur pressed his hand against his forehead and chuckled. “Alright. Why don’t we have a deal? If I’m able to cure your illness, you’ll marry me.”

It was already against Elspeth’s will to get engaged with him. If she was forced to marry him, she would spend the rest of her life in misery.

“There’s no way I’ll marry you.”

“Nothing is impossible. You were forced to be with me because of your mother’s illness.” Arthur slightly bent his back and smiled playfully. “Why aren’t you willing to do the same now? Are you playing hard to get?”

Elspeth felt humiliated by his words.

“Just remember that you must not go back on your word.”

She didn’t want to argue with him, so she shot him a glare and turned around to leave.
