Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 142

As he glared at Elspeth, Callum reprimanded, “Don’t you dare do it again! I was worried sick.”

Her grin grew wider when she caught the sight of his worried look. “Assuming I’m the woman inside the room, what will you do?”

“I’ll dig every witness’ eyes out and feed the men who dare lay their fingers on you to the fish in the sea.”

Even though his approach was cruel, she could feel a sense of security from him.

“Don’t worry. You’ll never find me in this kind of situation. After all, I’m cleverer than most people.” She had confidence in herself. Recalling a detail that she almost missed, she couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, why are you so sure the woman inside the room wasn’t me?”

Alaina and Elspeth shared similar stature and it could be quite confusing if someone didn’t pay attention to their features and mistook one of them for the other.

Callum didn’t even deign to look at her as he answered casually, “Both of you have different hairstyles.”

Alaina had soft and straight hair while Elspeth had black and wavy hair. Their hairstyles gave them different vibes.

Elspeth remembered another thing, which was the fact that the group in the room before wasn’t wearing anything. She failed to suppress her curiosity as she murmured, “Are you sure you didn’t peek inside?”

Callum’s expression changed at her assumption. It wasn’t the awkward expression one would show when his secret was being exposed, but the expression of evident disdain to the degree where he found her theory offensive. “She isn’t worth my time.”

He could tell Alaina was the person responsible for the incident just by instinct, and Elspeth was almost being made the victim in Alaina’s ruse. Thus, Callum could never take a liking to Alaina. He felt nothing but disdain for the woman.

Elspeth knew his personality, so she decided to stop teasing him further. Instead, she took his hand and the pair returned to the hall downstairs.
