Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 225

pulled Elspeth into his arms and rested his chin on her forehead. “Our couple’s lovey-dovey time, of course! Don’t you agree, Mrs. Winthrop?”He’s doing it again! Feeling flushed and worked up, she felt like a cooked prawn.She couldn’t understand how a man who had never dated anyone was so skilled at flirting and teasing.“Callum, you pretend to be indifferent, but you’re actually a surprise package, aren’t you?”This was a term that Callum had never heard of.After pausing for a moment, he asked in return, “What’s a ‘surprise package’?”Elspeth held her forehead in resignation. “Pretend I never said that,” she muttered.“Say it!” He held her wrists in a tight grip. “Tell me, what does a ‘surprise package’ mean?”It didn’t sound like a compliment to him.Finding it hard to say it, she shook her head and blushed. “I don’t know.

I’m going to take you there to have fun.”“But… I don’t want to…”She could never get used to traveling.“You don’t seem very happy about the idea,” he commented.When she thought about her childhood experience, she couldn’t help but have a bitter expression. “If only you knew. I went to the beach with my father when I was young and I was stung by a jellyfish. And when I went to play in a forest, I was caught in a bear trap.
