Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 230

El?”She shook her head. “I just think you still have that evil trait in you despite already being at this age.”His face flushed in an instant. “Seriously? I thought it was just a tiny punishment. I wasn’t trying to pick on her or anything.”Even though Elspeth wasn’t saying something serious, Joseph was quite flustered at the sight of her calm appearance as she sipped tea.“Don’t worry. You need to teach her a lesson so that she doesn’t repeat her mistakes.”Elspeth’s words were like a hint to Joseph.“Got it.

Take your medicine. I’m leaving now.”Afraid that he might complain even more, she quickly fled the scene.Once she returned to her ward, she noticed Callum packing his stuff. As she observed his skinny silhouette, Elspeth pounced on him and hugged him from behind.“Did you miss me, Callum?”As an anti-romantic, Callum responded, “You were just out for an hour. It’s not like you’ve been away for days. Why would I miss you?”Elspeth pouted as she was unable to accept his answer.“I was missing you while I chatted with Mr. Canfield.”“What do you miss about me?” As if she recalled something, Elspeth’s expression
