Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 194

looked at her clothes—which weren’t really warm enough—before emitting another sneeze. “No, I don’t.”“Then, why are you shivering?” Callum lowered his gaze as he took off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders. “I’ll send you back.”Elspeth gave him a smile of gratitude. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Winthrop, but my legs are numb.”Speechless, Callum crouched down and let her get onto his back.Now that she didn’t have to walk by herself, Elspeth suddenly became talkative. “Callum, I’ve heard that a couple can remain together in their old age once they’ve walked together in the snow.”“I don’t know if a couple can remain together in their old age after walking in the snow, but I’m sure they’ll get hospitalized for that.”She was displeased with the man’s unfeeling remark. How unromantic. Theodore was sitting in the living room watching TV when they arrived home by car. Seeing that Elspeth was back, he pretended to leave again, but she stopped him before he could do so. “Mr. Winthrop, may I ask what is going on with you?”Theodore replied with a forced smile, “I’m fine, Elspeth. Don’t think too much about it.”Elspeth… Now he calls me Elspeth instead of Elsie, thought Elspeth. Unable to get the truth out of him, she decided to look into it herself.After she returned to her bedroom, Theodore summoned Callum into his study. No one knew what Theodore had said, but the next day, Callum became somewhat quieter than usual.Seeing that he wasn’t in a good mood, Elspeth asked, “What’s wrong with you?”Callum shook his head. “I gotta go to my office. You should go to Azure Corporation early if there’s nothing else.”“Are you telling me to go to my own company?” Elspeth was astounded. He was just fine yesterday; why is he beginning to distance himself from me today?Callum pressed his lips together without saying a word.A sense of discomfort surged up within Elspeth. “Callum, just tell me if there’s anything. Don’t keep it from me.”“I’m fine. I gotta go; I’ve got work to deal with at my office,” Callum replied before leaving; his broad figure looked desolate from behind as he left.Elspeth gritted her teeth before going to the Winthrop Group after him.Once arriving at the Winthrop Group, she found that her stuff had been cleared away on Callum’s orders, while her desk was occupied by the new director of the Design Department. She was depressed when she walked into the man’s office and saw him working as if nothing had happened. “Callum, can you tell me what on earth is going on with you?”Callum looked up; his eyes were full of meaning that she couldn’t understand. “I’m fine. It’s just that you’re not supposed to stay any longer in the Winthrop Group according to the rules.”She smirked. “Well then, were you lying when you told me before that the Winthrop Group is mine as long as I go out with you?”He shook his head. “No, I wasn’t.”“Then, what do you mean by doing this right now?”Callum let out a sigh. “Well, if you want to keep on staying here, I’ll have another desk cleared up for you.”Naturally, Elspeth was unwilling to let go easily without finding out the actual reason behind this, so she nodded and let Callum do so.He had the cubicle furthest from his desk cleared up
