Chapter 357 Arthur’s Story

As much as Elspeth’s heart ached, she did personally push him away after all, so she was in no position to criticize his relationships. At that, she yanked herself back to reality, worked on Isabel’s medication speedily, then brought it down with her during dinner time.

Nonetheless, it became apparent Elspeth didn’t have much of an appetite. She would even space out now and then.

Unable to take it anymore, Arthur knocked on the table, forcing the young woman to return to reality. “I know you can’t take the news, but you don’t have to react so dramatically to it, do you?”

Wow, heartless much? Sure, no, go ahead, give my bloody heart another stab!

Elspeth snorted disdainfully in response. Instead of entertaining his mockery, she grabbed a bread roll and shoved it into his mouth. “Eat your food. No talking at the dinner table.”

Meanwhile, Isabel poked at her food worryingly but dared not say a word when she saw Elspeth had flipped out just like that.

Realizing she was behaving rather hostile, Elspeth toned it down a little, then turned to Isabel and handed her the medication. “Here, Isabel. Eat this starting tonight. Coupled with the beauty cream I gave you the other time, the scar on your face should be gone in less than two weeks.”

At that, Isabel put her cutleries down and thanked Elspeth joyously while taking the medication from the latter, “Thanks, Elspeth. Got it. I’ll certainly take them on time.”

“Alright, we’re all family here. There’s no need for thanks.”

While speaking, Elspeth glanced at Arthur from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that the man had his head buried in his food like he saw nothing else, she hit the roof again.

At that, she stomped his feet.

Arthur, on the other hand, only as much as quirked a brow when he felt the force coming from his feet. “What’s wrong? Is the dinner not to your liking?”

To that, Elspeth asked with a half-smile, “Arthur Winthrop, when are you going to start treating my mother?”

She had come to realize that the man wouldn’t say a word about it no matter how she asked him privately. Thus, she decided to just lay it on the table.
