Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 214

“Callum, what are you doing here?”Although he had been easily discovered by Elspeth, Callum didn’t say anything. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and brought her into his arms. As he was extremely strong, she couldn’t even move a muscle, but she could feel that he was holding her very tightly as if he wanted to take her into his own body. “Don’t get engaged.”Elspeth took a deep breath. “Why?”“Because I love you.”“Your words seem really flimsy right now, Callum. I really don’t know how to keep talking to you.”Callum’s eyes were filled with affection and pain as he said, “There’s a reason why I treated you like that. I…”“Because Mrs. Winthrop was kidnapped, so you had to keep quiet and force me to break up. Later, you really ended up doing it, right?”Elspeth’s words greatly astonished him. “How did you know that?”“Of course, I do. Grandfather told me everything the first day I came back.” Elspeth laughed lightly before she sighed. “But honestly, I didn’t think you would keep everything to yourself. Grandfather was right. You don’t even dare to stay with me, so who are you to make me your own?”“I just don’t want you to keep living this volatile life with me.” A crack appeared on Callum’s normally calm expression. “If Old Mr. Joneson can stand in the way of this once, there will be a next time, and countless times more. I can’t predict what else he will use to threaten me in the future. Instead of having to face that, I’d rather let you be happy.”Elspeth smiled bitterly. “Happy? You think being with Jordan is happy? Callum, I’ve been through so much with you, and I haven’t even uttered a single complaint. Yet, you insisted on pushing me away.”“Callum, I do not wish to be with you anymore.”Elspeth’s words struck hard at Callum’s heart, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.“I’m sorry. I’m the coward,” he apologized, slowly letting go of her hand.Elspeth watched him behaving like this, feeling inexplicably frustrated. Before
