Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 243

The plaintive sound suddenly stopped soon after Elspeth entered a court, and she was about to turn and leave when the door behind her suddenly shut tight.

Shoot, I’ve been had. Those guys probably haven’t had enough and quickly devised a plan to subterfuge me, seeing that I’m alone.

At that, she looked toward the coping, intending to climb over the wall. However, it was too high, and she couldn’t even reach the top.

Hence, she wandered around, traversing a corridor and a bridge before arriving at a massive side court.

Elspeth had sensed a depressing atmosphere before even entering the place, but her curiosity drove her to continue forward. With that, she walked into the place, which was smoke-filled despite being brightly lit.

As she went further in, she found an octogenarian dressed in a cleric’s robe, lighting candles at the altar.

Elspeth smiled in response. “Well, technically, I’m an atheist.”
