Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 419 Tricked

That cup of water was barely hot, so it was all poured onto Skylar. As the spill happened 'out of the blue', Elspeth seemed unfazed and half-heartedly apologized to her.

"It hurts…" Skylar frowned as her expression twisted a little from the invisible pain.

Emotionlessly, Elspeth glanced at her. "You know better than anyone whether it's hot."

As soon as those words rang, the previously affectatious Skylar immediately composed herself.

Jethro seemed to have not heard their conversation and pulled a piece of tissue to help Skylar wipe her hand, asking if she was hurt.

"I'm fine. The water's not super hot. I can take it. Maybe I was too shocked, and that's why I screamed in pain." She secretly glanced at Elspeth when mentioning the temperature of the water as though she were afraid she would get reprimanded.

Seeing through Skylar's intention like a piece of glass, Elspeth rebuked inside, Aren't you just trying to make me look like the bad guy before Jethro? I don't mind, honestly.

She bent down to look at Skylar's face while smiling faintly. "So, you mean to say this cup of water is hot, right?"

Skylar was so shocked by those words that she quickly withdrew her hand.

In the meantime, Jethro looked at Elspeth with a bewildered expression. "Skylar has already been scalded. You shouldn't be mean to her."

While raising an eyebrow, Elspeth continued what she was doing. "As I said, she knows whether it's hot or not." Subsequently, she grabbed the cup from earlier and placed her finger inside before the two.

Her finger was wet from the water when she took it out again. "See? Not even hot." Once she was done, she pulled a tissue and wiped her finger.
