Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

you as long as you’re willing to go out with Emma and make Elspeth break up with you of her own accord.” The man guffawed. “I’ll release Mrs. Winthrop once Elspeth’s engagement party is over. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her.”Callum took a deep breath. “I got it.”Standing outside in the sun, Elspeth had a look of confusion in her eyes.
