last time.”“I was afraid you would be angry, and it dealt a blow to Max. That was quite worth it.”Poor Max, not only did he have to eat all the egg-fried rice, but he also had to sing its praises.Suddenly, her cheeks blushed as she loudly huffed, “From now on, I won’t cook for you again. Even if my cooking improves slightly, I will never cook for you.”Meanwhile, Callum looked at Elspeth, smiling in silence.“Oh, right. Callum, have you noticed something weird between Blake and Lisa?”He ducked his head and smirked, “I have. He’s very interested in her right now. Every day, he’s asking to go out with her.”“Then, should we give them a nudge so they could get together?”She is incredibly daring to have such a bold notion. Callum thought about it and was entirely on board with the idea. It will make her happy and help Blake understand how Lisa makes him feel, so it will be like killing two birds with one stone.“What are you thinking, Callum?” His silence and smile made Elspeth suspicious.“Nothing. I think your idea is pretty good.” Then, he tucked her in and stroked her head. “Still, you should be resting now. Sleep in my room tonight. I’ll be sleeping in the guest room.” Following that, he walked toward the door.“Wait, Callum. I know everything,” she called out to him angrily.He immediately came to a halt when he heard that. “If you didn’t know, then your hacking skills would be a lie,” he remarked with a smile.However, Elspeth could not resist rolling her eyes at Callum. “Why can’t you tell me directly? Why must you wait until I expose you?” She already knew he was the one who started the rumor. Nonsense! The only way to put an end to the speculations is for me to accept his engagement! I know he planned this entire scenario because he wants me to be his fiancée. Moreover, she had Lisa look into that matter early that morning, and it turned out that he was the one who orchestrated the whole thing.Suddenly, his eyes went dark. “Of course not. Telling you might mean you’ll stall. This is to push things forward, so we’ll be engaged soon.”Based on what Callum understood about Elspeth’s character, their engagement would be put off indefinitely. Nevertheless, the sudden appearance of Eric convinced Callum that he needed to tie the knot with her immediately or risk losing her forever.“Still, you agree with my suggestion and go along with it, right?”Her face immediately turned red when she heard that, and she swiftly hid her head under the blanket.…Elspeth did not feel well over the next few days, so she hid and rested at the Winthrop Residence. In addition, all her work was handled by Harper and Timothy.On the other hand, Timothy felt extremely upbeat that day, so he dragged Yelena, who had recently gotten engaged, to the set. He also roped in the perpetually absent Blake and had them work on a new show together while they were still trending.Meanwhile, despite feeling unwell, Elspeth did not get the rest she needed. When Margot and Theodore learned she was sick, they visited her room repeatedly, bringing hot, comforting soups and stews.That day, Margot brought a bowl of chicken soup she had spent hours on to Elspeth’s room. After a quick, wary glance, she swiftly entered the room and closed the door behind her.“Mrs. Winthrop, I really can’t drink anymore. I am so sick from days of drinking nothing but soup.” While she did not want to drink the soup, she did not outright refuse it because Margot was her elder.Then, Elspeth set the bowl on the bedside table. When Margot saw that, she pulled a wry grin on her face. “It’s for your health. Your stomach hurts, so you must consume something hot to soothe it. I’ve added quite a few herbs to the soup. It’s a recipe from a famous doctor. It will definitely work!”Then, Elspeth dejectedly smiled at her. “Mrs. Winthrop, did you forget I study traditional medicine—”“Everyone believes doctors cannot treat their own illnesses,” Margot interrupted. “Look at how many years you’ve been suffering. The pain never got cured, did it? I think you have to find someone to help you with it. Perhaps, some medicine will solve your issues.”Elspeth knew Margot was acting in her best interests, so she had no choice but to accept the act of kindness. On the other hand, she was secretly plotting her way out of her treatment.“You must look after your body. Otherwise, you will have to live with pain after giving birth—”While Margot continued to urge Elspeth to drink the soup, Elspeth suddenly recalled something. “Mrs. Winthrop, you know my parents, right? I’d like to know more
