Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

hers. He had died twice during the game. On the other hand, she was not only given the title of ‘Most Valuable Player’ but also held the record for zero deaths.She truly is a goddess.It had been a long time since he last met an opponent who was evenly matched or even more skillful than him, so his heart was filled with the excitement of meeting a challenger and a fanatical sense of worship. Alas, she was not willing to accompany them during their training. Besides, Callum was waiting outside. He was bound to become sulky if she stayed here for too long.As soon as that particular thought appeared in her mind, she immediately thought of leaving the training room.“Goddess Elspeth, why don’t you stay at the club for the next two days? We have everything you need at the club. I guarantee that you will be comfortable here.” When Birdy saw that Elspeth intended to leave after one match, he was naturally reluctant for her to go since they had learned a lot from her after a single game.Elspeth shook her head. “My boyfriend is waiting outside, so I need to go home…”“Go home? We will also arrange for food, accommodation, and other basic necessities for your boyfriend. Will that be okay?She glanced at them and wondered, “Why do you want me to stay here? Isn’t it enough if I show up during the team competition?”“That’s not the same. Besides, there are many children in the club who are young and energetic. We need your help to teach them a shocking lesson.”Carrot snickered wickedly, clearly harboring ill intentions.The corners of her mouth twitched in response, and she couldn’t help thinking that their behavior was very childish.“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. But I believe that we need to sort out certain aspects of our cooperation. We also wish to match your rhythm in order to increase our chances of success.”She nodded in resignation. “Fine. But I’m leaving right after the team competition.”Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief when she finally gave in to their request.“Good. In that case, let’s resume practice.”The five of them continued their endless training again.When the lights came on at night, Elspeth noticed that the sky was getting dark and stretched lazily. “I’m done. I’m tired.”All of a sudden, she recalled that Callum was waiting for her outside. Her eyes immediately widened in shock.Sh*t! I forgot about Callum waiting outside!She hastily ripped off the headphones and left the training room. It was there where she saw Callum sitting on the couch alone as soon as she stepped out the door. He propped his head against one hand and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.Hmm? Why does he look so delectable even when he is sleeping?She shook her head, trying to shake away the naughty thoughts in her head. Then, she leaned over, trying to catch a glimpse of his face.“Callum Winthrop,” she called out his name softly. Unfortunately, he was in a deep sleep and did not hear her voice.She reached out her hand to poke his cheek, but the man in front of her abruptly snapped his eyes open.In the dark of the night, his black eyes glittered with inexplicable light. It felt as though he was enthralling her by sight alone. She couldn’t help but feel that she seemed to be dragged into the depths of his eyes when she stared into his eyes.Before she could react to the sudden turn of events, she felt something clasping her hands. In the next moment, she fell into his arms.“Callum, weren’t you asleep?”Callum chuckled. “I slept for a while. You were inside for too long. How would I survive if I didn’t sleep the time away?”His voice was hoarse, indicating that he had indeed fallen asleep for some time.When she heard those words, she couldn’t help feeling guilty. “I’m sorry. I was
