Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Love Is Blind

“Don’t move. Just let me hug you a little longer.” Gilbert rested his face on Elspeth’s neck as if he was a kid.

Meanwhile, Elspeth quickly realized the inappropriateness of the man’s reaction and responded with an unfathomable expression on her face. “Stop it, Gilbert,” she said with a soft yet commanding voice. Upon hearing the lady’s rejection, Gilbert reluctantly let go of the lady and sulked in disappointment.

“You’re drunk. Go get some water to sober up.” She gazed at his eyes which were filled with burning desires, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with what he just did earlier.

“I’m not drunk. I’m good.” He looked like he wanted to explain more, but she quickly cut him short.

“No, you’re indeed drunk.”

It then dawned on Gilbert that Elspeth was just looking for an excuse to avoid his advances to woo her. “Yeah, yeah. I’m a little tipsy, indeed. I can’t believe I just hugged the wrong person.”

When Elspeth heard Gilbert’s reply, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled about what he meant.
