Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 199

led him to remain frozen in place instead.“Okay, okay, I like you! Now, hurry up and let me go!”As if Elspeth only heard the words ‘I like you,’ she leaned down and homed in on Harper’s lips to kiss him. A second later, someone seized her from the back by her collar and lifted her. With hazy eyes, she turned around and immediately saw a cold yet fuming Callum.“Huh? Callum?”He didn’t say anything to her and only looked at the befuddled Harper and lowered his eyes. “I’m taking her home.”Although Harper was not a fan of Callum for the time being, leaving Elspeth to continue drinking here was not an option either, so he nodded and allowed him to take her away. After all, he was Elspeth’s boyfriend, so it shouldn’t be much of a problem.After hoisting Elspeth to his car, he tossed her into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt but did not start the car immediately.At that moment, she had sobered up for the most part. She looked at Callum’s glum face and asked in surprise, “What’s this about?”“You kissed him?” The tone of his voice quirked upward like his eyebrows.“Kissed who?”Callum leaned forward and said, “Elspeth, I know you’re not drunk.”As Elspeth had drank with him in the past, he was aware of her alcohol tolerance. Besides, the spot where Elspeth sat allowed him to see everything clearly, and he knew that she wasn’t anywhere near being tipsy enough to be unable to tell who was who.Elspeth smiled, her eyes immediately becoming awake again. “You’re quite smart.”Holding his anger back, Callum asked in a calm voice, “Why did you do that?”As if she had been greatly wronged, Elspeth pouted and retorted, “Would you have come over if I didn’t do that?”She had deliberately chosen a position that was visible to him to drink, her sole goal to have him watch her actions. As it happened, she won the gamble. Not only that, but Callum was also smarter than she thought. Though he had seen through her tricks long ago, he was still willing to take the bait. “You like me, Callum. Your eyes can’t lie, and the way you looked at me earlier was different.”A trace of cold sweat emerged on his forehead as he explained, “Someone put something in my drink.”Only then did he calm down and realize his body was behaving differently; he felt incredibly hot.Elspeth fell silent, thinking that she’d been too ahead of herself again. “Then, what are you going to do?” she asked helplessly. “Why do all these women like to put things into your drinks? Does sleeping with you come with any insurance?”Callum had also guessed that it was Emma who laid the trap. If that were the case, it was no wonder why she was so furious when he could not resist going to Elspeth earlier. It was because she had tampered with his drink, and the drug was about to take effect.“Take me to the hospital.”He closed his eyes, his expression a little pained.Elspeth asked in surprise, “What, you don’t even feel anything when a beauty like me is in front of you?”Truthfully, she was only fooling around. If something happened between her and Callum, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.However, he shook his head. “No.”Inexplicably, Elspeth felt a little irritated by his words.After taking Callum to the hospital, the doctor gave him a brief treatment and kept him in the hospital for further monitoring. Elspeth was about to stay in the hospital with him when she was given an eviction order.“You should
