Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 712 Not My Doing

"I searched for you for so long, and I was so close to giving up. These past few years, I was on the verge of depression, but Hank was always by my side, so that's why I didn't end up like that."

Yelena's words became increasingly heart-wrenching.

In the end, Elspeth could only pull her into her arms and gently stroke her hair.

"Okay, don't be sad anymore. It's all in the past."

"It's not in the past..." Yelena's voice quivered, and it almost sounded like a sob. "You owe me all these years, and you should make it up to me."

Elspeth couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Yelena buried her head in Elspeth's shoulder, pouting and thinking for a while. "How about this? let me borrow your little bun to play with."

It took Elspeth a moment to understand that the little bun she was referring to was Damian.

"Why don't you have one with a certain someone?" Elspeth teased.

"I don't have the time to have a child. We haven't even gotten married yet."

Elspeth was surprised. "Why haven't you two gotten married yet?"

"Don't you remember? You promised to be the legal witness for our marriage. Since you weren't here, how were we supposed to get married? I had to find you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be at peace even in death."

Yelena blurted out these words in frustration and covered her mouth.

"What nonsense are you saying? Stop talking about death all the time."

"But I really missed you, and Hank respects me so much. He promised that we would get married after finding you."

Learning that Hank had been faithfully by Yelena's side all these years and taking care of her provided some solace to Elspeth.

"Well, now that I'm back, you can go ahead and get married with peace of mind."


Yelena suddenly blushed and forcefully punched Elspeth's chest.

"I never said I want to marry him."

Elspeth clicked her tongue twice. "You're both already in your mid-twenties; why are you still so hesitant?"

"Yeah, I'm only in my mid-twenties. It's too early."

Yelena adjusted her clothes and sat up straight.

"In that case, take your time. Wait a few more years until he finds you boring and marries another young and beautiful girl. By then, you'll..."

Yelena suddenly became anxious and turned around to say, "He wouldn't dare! If he dares to marry someone else, I'll smash his head."

Elspeth was speechless.

She remembered this girl used to be gentle and delicate. How did she suddenly become like this?

A lot could change overnight.

Meanwhile, the group soon arrived at Winthrop Residence.

With Arthur and Max gone and Edmund rarely coming back, the house felt empty.

When they arrived, only Margot was there. Elspeth asked about Lisa's well-being and learned that she was currently in the hospital, waiting to give birth. Margot had returned to Winthrop Residence specifically because she knew Elspeth had come back, which was why she hurried over.

Elspeth's heart warmed as she suggested, "It's okay, I only returned to the country. It's not a big deal. You should go take care of Lisa."

Margot looked at Elspeth who was well and alive in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes. She opened her arms and embraced Elspeth directly.

"Elspeth, my good child, you're finally back. You have no idea how we managed all these years. We all missed you so much."

"I know, Mom. I've missed you too."

"I heard from Callum that you lost your memory overseas. What happened?"

Elspeth smiled and replied, "Mom, it's not something I can explain right now. When we have the chance later, I'll tell you all about it."

"Okay, okay. It's good that you're back."

Margot gently touched Elspeth's face and let out a sigh.

Suddenly, she noticed Damian behind Elspeth, and her eyes lit up.

"This must be your child, right? My precious grandchild!"

Margot slowly crouched down, extending her arms toward him.

"You must be Damian, right? Come here, my good boy. Let me have a good look at you."

As if guided by a blood connection, Damian didn't feel averse to the elderly woman in front of him. He cautiously approached Margot, entered her embrace obediently, then sweetly called her, "Grandma."

"Oh, my darling grandson."

Margot was delighted and took out a card from her pocket, placing it in his hand.

"This is a black card with unlimited credit. Keep it, Damian. If you need anything, just buy it with this."

Elspeth watched this scene and couldn't help finding it amusing. She took the card from Damian's hand and handed it back to Margot.
