Love's Perfect Match

"What's the reason for your sudden visit?" Elspeth was so nervous that she seemed flustered and lost for words.

Sure enough, what she feared the most would always come true.

"Why? Did my sudden arrival disrupt your alone time together?"

Even now, Callum's cold voice didn't show his displeasure with this situation.

Unfortunately, she knew that he was definitely fuming with anger. Moreover, his rage was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Of course not. I'm just a little surprised."

Callum glanced at the man who was happily making himself busy inside the kitchen and narrowed his eyes. "Can you explain to me the reason behind his presence here?"

He stared at the pajamas she was wearing and immediately guessed that they had probably spent the night together. The very thought made the light in his eyes dim slightly.

"He came to visit me last night for something important. Unfortunately, he couldn't call a cab for his return trip and ended up sleeping here for the night." After she said that, she seemed worried that he might misunderstand her and quickly added an explanation, "He slept on the couch. I barely had any contact with him."

If the other party had been anybody else, Callum might have tolerated it and ignored the issue. Alas, the other party was none other than Jethro. Jethro was somebody who was eyeing Elspeth hungrily, which made Callum very uneasy.

"Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth at this point?"

His expression changed drastically. It almost seemed as though a layer of frost was covering his entire face, and even the look in his eyes became sinister. A single freezing glare from him would send shivers down anybody's back.

The faint stench of alcohol wafting in the air had assaulted his nose as soon as he walked through the door. If the two had not been drinking together, then Jethro definitely drunkenly paid her a visit. Unfortunately, both scenarios made him highly displeased.
