Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 188

you insist on going to Damoria right now.”Naturally, he disapproved of her action. It was too dangerous and would likely infuriate old Mr. Joneson.“I’ve made up my mind. No one can change it,” she declared.“I wonder who on earth you took after,” he said, sighing. “You’re so stubborn, always committing to whatever you decide on.”Her heart skipped. Her father, Davion Lynwood, was a kind and gentle soul who was often the mediator of the town. She likely inherited her temper from her mother.“However, if you borrow my private helicopter, would…”“I have it all planned out,” she interrupted with a smile. “Grandfather forbade me from going back to Damoria, but I’m not always supervised. When asked about the helicopter, just say that Spencer borrowed it. If Grandfather asks about me, tell him I’ve been staying with you this whole time.” Only Elspeth could have thought up that plan.For some reason, that plan did not sit easily with him. “What if he comes here? How do you plan to explain yourself?”“If worse comes to worst, just tell him I went out to have some fun,” she answered. “You don’t know where I am, but you know I’ll be back in the evening. I’ll try to get back as soon as possible to avoid giving you extra trouble.”This would be considered Frank’s first time telling such a big lie to old Mr. Joneson, but he was not really nervous. Instead, weirdly enough, he was more excited than scared about doing something forbidden.He nodded in agreement.Coincidentally, Frank’s private helicopter was parked at Spencer’s place.

I miss the people there.”“No need to explain yourself,” he said with a chuckle. “I know you’re doing this for Callum.”Since he said that, there was nothing she needed to hide. “That’s right,” she replied, smiling. “After all, a day apart as lovers would feel as long as three years.”Hearing that made his eyes darken in sadness. However, because he was looking down at the leaves on the ground the entire time, she merely thought there was something else bothering him.With her borrowed helicopter, she got ready to leave the city.“Elspeth.”Suddenly, Spencer called out to her. As her head snapped around to look at him, he was enthralled by the sight of her beautiful face shining in the sun.The question he wanted to ask stuck to the back of his throat, unwilling to leave his lips no matter how hard he tried. Elspeth, would you have fallen in love with me if I met you first?In the end, he said, “Let me know if you need anything. Stay safe.”They were
