Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

mine. Nothing wrong with calling you Mrs. Winthrop a little earlier. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Winthrop?”Callum’s voice was deep and magnetic, and he sounded particularly alluring when he called her ‘Mrs. Winthrop’. It was like music to her ears.It was a good thing that she wasn’t someone who had a weakness for pleasant voices. Otherwise, she would have been defeated by Callum’s voice alone.She didn’t say anything in reply and only glared at him before she turned to the other side.After they arrived at the Winthrop Residence, Callum, being the gentleman that he was, opened the car door for her and walked into the house holding her hand.However, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a wailing woman as soon as they stepped into the building.Emma was shedding tears in front of Theodore and Margot.

It’s not your house. Why would Mr. Winthrop kick me out of here when he likes me?”She then turned to look at Theodore.To her surprise, Theodore was looking at Elspeth with a guilty expression on his face. He didn’t seem to like Emma as much as he did before.“I’m sorry, Elspeth. I—”“It’s alright, Mr. Theodore,” Elspeth cut him off with a smile. “You were impatient because you wanted to save your wife. I understand.” Theodore’s eyes were wet with warm tears. He couldn’t believe he almost lost such a wonderful daughter-in-law.“What is the meaning of this?” Emma was still confused about what was happening.“You only knew that Grandfather promised you to get you Callum, but you didn’t know that he also kidnapped Mrs. Winthrop to force Callum to submit.
