Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 413 The Torrential Rain

Elspeth's calm reaction reassured Aldea. Regaining her composure, she broke into a bright smile to hide the awkwardness in her eyes. "It's an accident. No worries."

Jethro did not catch anything while standing outside of the glass door. He strode to Elspeth's side, sliding his arm along her shoulders so naturally. "Elspeth, I've been calling you these days, but why didn't you pick up?"

His gaze did not fall onto Aldea for one second.

Elspeth took a step back to free herself from his arm. "I'm busy."

"It's fine as long as I have time. If you don't mind, I can come here every day." The ladies in the area fell for his innocuous smile.

Now that he had set his untrammeled side free again, she massaged her forehead. "Enough. Stop bothering us."

"How am I a bother? I'm just here to see you." He seated himself on the couch.

"Are you not leaving?" She had never seen anyone as shameless as him.

Jethro languidly crossed his leg. "What's with the rush? I'm here for a visit. I won't get in your way."

Elspeth ignored him, treating him as a transparent person because it did not seem like he was going to leave any time soon.

"Proceed with the shoot."

Since then, Aldea was not in her best condition as she kept making mistakes with her postures, expressions, and script.

Elspeth noticed her uncoordinated self. "What's wrong, Aldea? Are you feeling under the weather?"

That question received no reply, but she could guess that it had something to do with Jethro for sure. Still, it would be tactless of her to pry one's private affairs in front of so many eyes, so she decided to set it aside first.

"I'm fine, Miss Lynwood." The beads of sweat on Aldea's forehead could prove how nervous she was.

Frantic ran through her veins the moment she caught sight of Jethro, yet she could not avoid the man because she was in the middle of working. Her heart was squeezing in pain.

She peeked at the man on the couch to observe what he was up to, but she could not tell what she was feeling at the moment. They had broken up, so it was pointless to pester him again. After all, he accepted her feelings in the beginning only after she approached him many times.
