Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

that startled the driver.The driver mused, Why is the pretty lady letting out such a horrible laugh?“Stop it,” Gilbert said. “She came running back home after getting pregnant with my child. Help me look for her.”Child? Elspeth was startled, abruptly straightened up in her seat, and her head hit the car’s roof, causing her to yelp in agony. “Gilbert Payne, did you actually get a girl pregnant? What kind of man are you?”When the driver heard that, he softly remarked, “Scumbag.”She agreed with his comment and self-righteously declared, “Scumbag!”When he heard that, Gilbert scowled in annoyance and gritted his teeth, wishing he could shove her head into a toilet bowl.“Final warning, Elspeth Lynwood!

Immediately, Elspeth dropped her phone and let out a wail of agony. When something good happens, he never thinks of me. However, he’ll start looking for me as soon as he needs something from me.

She instantly knew what had happened.“You were at the bar?”Callum grunted in acknowledgment but remained silent otherwise.After a moment of hesitation, Elspeth asked, “You saw everything?”Instead of responding, he only stared at her, and the intensity of his stare sent chills down her spine.“Well, I’ll go take a shower. Wait here for me.” After saying that, he calmly walked into the bathroom.Meanwhile, the sound of water splashing echoed through the room. As she waited, she strolled over to his side of the bed and sat down with her heart pounding.Judging by his facial expression, he looks upset. Still, I’m at a loss for words. I’m not sure my explanation will compensate for my earlier behavior. Moreover, I feel he won’t even bother to hear it. With that in mind, Elspeth waited silently for
