Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 226

“Once upon a time, there was a little prince who enjoyed eating cherries. The realm was filled with cherry trees, and the cherry fairy resided among them. The little prince thought that the cherry tree would grow red and sweet fruit, but it did not for a long time, so the little prince was disappointed. Then a cherry fairy appeared and told the unhappy little prince, ‘Kiss me, and the cherry will grow.’ As a result, the little prince puckered up and kissed the cherry fairy. The cherry tree was instantly covered in blushing cherries the moment the cherry fairy blushed. The cherry fairy whispered coyly, ‘The cherries are already sweet enough, so don’t kiss again,’ as the little prince puckered up. ‘But you are sweeter than cherries,’ the little prince murmured while blinking.”Callum’s voice was soothing with distinct hoarseness that drew one in.Elspeth expected to be so aroused by his voice that she would be too excited to sleep after hearing it. However, what happened was that she grew so drowsy after hearing his rhythmic voice that she passed out.She had no idea when she had fallen asleep.The quilt was on her body when she awoke the following morning. There was no Callum on the sofa.Elspeth started feeling uneasy. Just as she was ready to leave, the door swung open.It was Callum. His shoulders were slightly damp, and he was holding an umbrella and a bag of shrimp tacos.“Are you awake?” Callum placed the umbrella by the door before setting the meal on the table. “I went out and bought tacos. I believe you will be hungry when you wake up.”Elspeth nodded. She had only just awoken and hadn’t eaten much the night before, so she was hungry.At this moment, she felt warm and comfortable as if they had been married for many years.The tacos on the table made her gulp.“What’s the problem?

They are my favorite.”After speaking, she sat at the table and took up the shrimp taco to bite into it. “Mmm! Nice! It tastes fantastic. You try some.”Callum’s brow furrowed. “I had a cup of coffee outside. I’m not hungry yet. Tacos are not my favorite. You can have them all.”Elspeth nodded. The itching all over her body caused her to drop her food and scratch before she could start the second portion.“What’s wrong?”Callum lowered his gaze to the crimson marks on her arms. He then grimaced. “Do you have a seafood allergy?”Elspeth’s bangs were drenched in sweat. “Yes… I’m allergic to seafood. However, it is not serious. I should be fine after a while.”It stings. So itchy…Elspeth was short of breath and felt prickly and unpleasant.“Stop being stubborn. You should have told me that you have a seafood allergy!” Callum quickly dialed 911 and sent Elspeth downstairs to meet the ambulance.Elspeth huddled in his arms while mumbling, “I’m fine. Not to mention that you bought them for me, so I have to finish them.”“Don’t be silly! What if you die?”Callum’s tone suddenly became cold.“If I die, find a beautiful girl to marry and have a child named Elle Winthrop,” Elspeth added with a smile.She then sighed, “It has a nice ring to it.”Callum was enraged, and his stare was frigid as he
