Chapter 446 How to Compensate Him

Elspeth smiled, but she still turned away to look at the lake.

"Tell me, Miss Elspeth, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Callum grabbed her right hand and held it close to his chest.

"I don't know. Don't ask me."

Although she said that, she could feel his heart beating through the thick layers of fabric.

Was he nervous?

Perhaps, his heart was pounding with joy.

"I know, so?"

He simply had to push for a response right then and there.

When she noticed the stares coming from the people walking around them, her face blushed and her heart began to race.

"Enough. There are a lot of people staring. Let me go."

Naturally, he would not let her go so easily. He gulped upon noticing the embarrassed look on her face.

However, just as they were playfully bickering, he suddenly pulled her into a strong embrace.

There was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"I know your mother passed away."

Her smile immediately went stiff.

"Are you sad because of her passing?"

She clung to him, suddenly at a loss for words.

"Not really."

Even though she said that, she still could not resist shuffling closer to him.
