Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 17 Pretending

Early in the following day, Callum appeared in the ward again.

“I feel flattered that the workaholic, Mr. Callum Winthrop, has disregarded his work just to visit me.” With a smile, Elspeth peeled off another wedge of orange. “The fruits are sweet. Would you like some?” After saying that, she plucked a banana and gave it to him.

Not caring about her outstretched hand, he looked at her with cold eyes. “My dad made me do this. Don’t overthink it.”

“You don’t want it? Fine.”

“I have a question for you.” With pursed lips, he thought about it for a moment and could not help but ask, “You actually broke my record at Death Canyon. How did a small-town girl like you get started on racing?”

This woman is too mysterious. She clearly has an ordinary background, but why does she always do something unexpected?

Elspeth laughed. “It’s just something I do to pass the time. Why do you care?”

Slightly shocked, Callum looked at her relaxed state and let his imagination run wild. Not only is she friends with Harper Summerfield and knows Albert Beischel, she also plays the piano well and even broke the record I set at Death Canyon. This ordinary small-town girl is not ordinary at all.

“Elspeth, I hope you don’t bear any ill intentions.” Those words sounded like a warning, but he could feel a gentle tug at his heart.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A series of orderly knocks woke him from his thoughts.

After announcing her presence, Ophelia pushed the door open and entered. When she saw the two being alone, jealousy surged inside her, but she maintained her smile and went forward to pull Elspeth’s hand. “Why do you look so pale? Are you badly hurt?”
