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.

Perhaps, his heart was pounding with joy.

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

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

There was a hint of pity in his eyes.

Her smile immediately went stiff.

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

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