Love's Perfect Match

Elspeth was being real. Arthur wouldn't have believed her if she had told him she wanted to be with him anyway. On the contrary, he would feel better if Elspeth told him the truth. It was annoying that she still liked Callum, but at least she wasn't lying.

Good. He's wavering. He's taken the bait. She told him the truth because she knew Arthur was a paranoid man. He wouldn't believe her if she lied. And he might be on guard, too. That would make saving Callum a hassle. However, now that he believed her, things would be easier.

Smiling, Arthur stroked her cheek, but this time, she didn't dodge. Instead, Elspeth put on a sheepish smile and made sure she didn't look too passionate. Only a hint of affection showed in her eyes.

Arthur loved it, but he didn't pull her into his embrace. He knew taking her by force wouldn't work. If he wanted her to fall for him, he must convince her that he was stronger. That way, she would start to admire him and date him willingly.

Elspeth said calmly, "Then, call your men and ask them about Callum." She was actually panicking inside. If this kept on, Callum might die.

Oh, right. Arthur whipped out his phone and made the call.

Someone picked it up a while later. He was huffing and puffing, perhaps because he was running. "Mr. Winthrop? What is it?"

"Did you capture him?"

The man answered with resignation, "I'd love to, but he's running real fast. And he can run for a long time. We can't catch up."

"You useless bums!" Arthur's face fell. If they can't capture Callum, then I will never get Elspeth.
