Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

guessed while following them into the house.The interior design was not Arthur’s cup of tea. She once had the chance to visit his room in Winthrop Residence. The gray theme color in that room bore no warmth at all. Yet, the warm tone color in this manor could readily lift one’s spirits.“You guys can stay here for the time being. I don’t come here often.”“Where will you stay?” Elspeth was curious.Seeing how Elspeth was asking too much, Helena pulled the hem of Elspeth’s sleeve. “Enough. We shouldn’t pry on Dr. Winthrop’s privacy as the guests. He must be busy with his work.”Guests? We are fugitives.Elspeth could never say that aloud, though.

I hope you won’t take it to the heart.”“It’s okay. She’s cute.” He smiled affectionately.Helena had a guess at that response. Cute? Is he into Elsie? If so, I should somehow make the ship sail. Elspeth locked herself up in the room for three days straight ever since they came to Eden. She did not show up every single time Arthur called her for meals.Just as he thought she was going to starve herself to death, she suddenly turned up. Her face was glowing and her hair fell over her neatly dressed clothes.“I thought you were going to starve yourself to death.” A laidback Arthur leaned against the door, pinching a cigarette between his fingers.Elspeth snorted. “Thank you for worrying about me. Isabel brought me food every
