Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 272

get together with Matthew.”When they were done with dinner, Callum cleaned his lips with a napkin and rose from the chair. “I’ll deal with work matters now so that I’ll have some free time to go out with you tomorrow.”“Okay.”After Elspeth and Callum were gone, Max couldn’t take it anymore.As he glanced at Theodore and Margot, he asked doubtfully, “What’s going on? Have all of you joined forces to say such things?”“What are you talking about? You’re so silly. Do you think you’ll get what you want by doing nothing? What did I teach you growing up?”Theodore rolled his eyes and headed to the bedroom with Margot.Max was left standing there on his own, looking dumbfounded.The next morning, Elspeth got out of bed and washed up before heading out with Callum.After they entered the car, she put on some makeup and asked, “Do you think Max will follow us? It seems that he’s more patient than I think.”Callum took a look at the rearview mirror and replied confidently, “Look who’s behind us.”A car that obviously belonged to the Winthrops was following them, and it was rather conspicuous.“Gosh. Why didn’t he use a less conspicuous car? He’s so silly,” Elspeth said dismissively.“Perhaps he isn’t planning on hiding anything. I guess he’ll make a big fuss out of it.”Callum knew Max’s temperament all too well.Max was someone who would retaliate against those who harmed him, let alone when someone was trying to snatch his woman from him.I wonder if Matthew is strong enough to take a beating.As they each got lost in their thoughts, they soon reached their destination. Yelena had been waiting for them and beside her stood a tall Matthew in casual clothes. It was Elspeth’s first time seeing Matthew, who was Callum’s best friend.She knew that Matthew was a lawyer, and the truth was, he looked dapper.In fact, Matthew was just as good-looking as Max. His aquiline nose added a layer of delicateness to his appearance, and his golden-framed glasses made him look somewhat sexy.At any rate, he wasn’t Elspeth’s cup of tea.Elspeth’s impression of Matthew changed the moment he started speaking.“Callum, I think it brings no benefits to me by helping you with the act.” Matthew frowned and put on a bitter expression. He didn’t look as elegant as before he started speaking.He’s so different from what I thought he was like.“I’ll invest 700,000 in your law firm.”Instantly, Matthew’s eyes brightened. “Are you serious? You mustn’t go back on your word!”“Of course.”Elspeth couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t your grandfather give you money? Why are you short on money?”At the mention of this, Matthew seemed to be on the brink of breaking into tears. “I don’t have a choice. I’m the only grandson in the March Family and my grandfather insists that I inherit the family business. However, it’s always been my dream to be a lawyer. As such, I can only rely on Callum.”“Have you ever tried to come up with a solution?”“Yes. Back then, I had a discussion with my grandfather and told him to sell the March Group to the Winthrop Group so that I’d have more money to develop my law firm, but he was so furious that he almost wanted to burn my law firm down. Since then, I’ve never dared say such nonsense.”Matthew is so silly and naïve! Fortunately, Yelena isn’t really in love with him. Otherwise, she would’ve beaten him up.After some small talk, they entered the restaurant.From the looks of it, they seemed to be going on a double date. Elspeth and Callum were like their seniors while Matthew looked lovingly at Yelena. On the other hand, Yelena hung her head bashfully, looking as though she was satisfied with this man.“Why hasn’t he appeared yet?” Elspeth asked.Callum coughed and took a look at her. “I suppose it’s because there’s no intimate interaction yet. They have to do more.”Elspeth signaled for Yelena to be more intimate with Matthew. As such, Yelena rose from the chair and went over to take Matthew’s hand.“Yelena!”Yelena stopped what she was doing when she heard someone roaring at her.From a distance, they could see Max standing there, his expression thunderous. The people around him were terrified.“Why are you dating another man behind my back? Don’t you remember I’m your boyfriend?” Max strode forward and grabbed Yelena’s hand as he glared at Matthew.Matthew shuddered as the smile on his face froze.Why is he looking at me like this? I’m only doing this
