head in agreement. “That’s right. That was our nickname back then.”Unable to think of a better word to describe her shock, Elspeth could only blurt out, “How avant-garde, Mr. Winthrop.” Theodore had never been in such an embarrassing situation in his life and he could only tug at his sleeves as he stood there, not knowing what to do.Margot only continued to reminisce when she saw his reaction.“You see how he’s behaving now? He looked exactly like this back when he went to my father and asked for my hand—”“Okay, okay. That’s enough. Let the youngsters solve their problems. You’re not well yet.

This is an intimate nickname that couples should call each other. You, too, shouldn’t call me Callum.”Seeing how unrepentant he was, she dragged him to a corner and held his hand. “Babe?” she purred.The tip of the man’s ears turned red.“Baby boy…”His throat bobbed.“Hubby!”That was the final straw that prompted Callum to grab Elspeth’s wrists in return and press a kiss on her lips.The moment he kissed her, she felt her mind go blank.Her heart thundered away when she felt his breath and heartbeat.This level of excitement should be illegal.“Callum… Mmph—”His lips devoured hers as he sucked in her taste.Only after a long,
