Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 299

feelings as I am right now.”Elspeth could understand that, but she still felt powerless and defeated. “I know. I’m sorry for pushing you.” She was about to leave, but Callum stopped her.“Elspeth, if you can’t accept me as I am, I won’t hold you back if you want to break up.”And yet you promised you wouldn’t let go of our relationship not too long ago.

I’ll just get a taxi.”Callum frowned. “Want me to give you a lift?”He would’ve taken me into his car right away in the past, but now he’s just asking me if I need help. She shook her head. “No. I can do this myself.”However, Callum insisted, “I thought you said I was your boyfriend. Shouldn’t I be helping you, then?” He didn’t like that they were supposedly dating, but he was her boyfriend and he had an obligation to fulfill.How ironic. He’s only helping me because he’s my boyfriend, not because he
