was the kindest, most considerate woman in the room.“I know you’re upset, Miss Lynwood, but if you can’t even accept our friendship now, how can you be his wife?”“Callum, I want to hear from you, not her,” Elspeth said. Following that, she turned to look at him with a pleading gaze.“I can’t even be considered friends with her,” Callum replied, not even glancing at Emma.Emma clenched her jaw and stared at him with tearful eyes. “Am I that intolerable, Callum?”He kept quiet, an implicit agreement.Soon, tears streamed down Emma’s cheeks. “I could take all the words she can throw at me, Callum, but I cannot leave you with misunderstandings about me.
