Love's Perfect Match

"I bet you didn't get to see Haris' expression. He was so angry." Elspeth was almost out of breath from laughter.

"Are you in a better mood now?" Callum's voice softened considerably when he was talking to her.

"Of course, I am." She rose to her feet and stretched. "I didn't do anything today, but not only did I watch a good drama for free, but I also got a victory out of it." It would be nice if every day could be as easy as it was today.

It was as if he had seen through her thoughts that a hint of warmth appeared from within his usually cold and stern gaze. "I'll cover for you whenever you feel like slacking off from now on."

She raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, and her gaze turned playful. "Is this what married life is supposed to be like?" she teased.

"Well, I can make you this happy every day." His sudden confession caught her off guard, and for a moment, she felt the innocent feeling that would only stem from the start of a new romance. Instead, she blushed and chided him coquettishly, "Stop it! We're still outside!"

"It's okay. It's just the two of us here."

Callum had long noticed it—while Elspeth was a confident and fearless woman, she became coy and bashful when it came to matters of love and intimacy. This sense of contrast made her even more attractive to him.

"Didn't Haris say he's going to pick Jasmine up soon? We should get going." She tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him to go home early.

Callum couldn't help but feel a hint of regret that he could not tease her any longer, especially when he was treated to the sight of her flushed face… It only fueled his desire to tease her more. However, he did not expect her to be so shy that she could not stand any teasing. Forget it. I'll let her off the hook this time.
