Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 614

CHAPTER 614 A SUDDEN BREAKUP

Elspeth felt rather dejected. The main reason she came over this time was to ask for the Joneson Family's help, but she hadn't expected Frank to reject her just like that. This is giving me a headache, she thought.

Frank felt his heart soften at the sight of Elspeth's sorrowful expression. "Well, you don't have to worry too much. You'll find a way to solve the issue eventually, won't you?"

"But the company is facing a huge challenge now, and I don't have a lot of time left," she replied.

"Do you have any other solutions?" Frank's question sounded extremely naïve to Elspeth's ears. Does he think I would come all the way to Blaydal if I had another solution? Right then, Helia, who had been frowning earlier, seemed to calm down a little. "I might have an idea," she uttered in a flat tone. Elspeth could tell what Helia was about to say, but she couldn't bring herself to accept Helia's idea.

"Welson might be able to help you with this," Helia elaborated. The Harley Family had proven their exceptional skills in the technology industry, but Elspeth didn't want to seek Welson's help. Elspeth had considered this idea in the past, but after some contemplation, she decided against it. Her reasons were obvious—Welson had a unique reputation, and they had a rather awkward relationship with one another. On top of that, Helia didn't like interacting with Welson, and Elspeth was worried that Helia might feel uneasy if she were to approach the Harley Family.

Elspeth was, therefore, surprised to hear Helia's suggestion. "You don't have to cause yourself such trouble, Mom. I'll just find a different way to resolve this," Elspeth uttered. Helia was touched to see how thoughtful Elspeth was. Furthermore, Helia simply couldn't bear to watch her daughter struggle. So, Helia patted Elspeth gently on her arm. "Don't worry."

"Who's Welson?" Frank voiced out and interrupted the moment that they were having. Frank had only got involved with the company a while ago, so he didn't know much about the people in the industry.

This time, Elspeth was in no hurry to clarify things with him. She simply spoke in a calm and relaxed tone. "My dad."

Frank nearly choked on his saliva. "What? Your dad? Since when did you have a dad?"

"I can't explain everything now, but I'll tell you about it someday," she replied. Elspeth's priority then was to approach Welson to propose a partnership with him. Frank knew that this was an urgent matter, so he didn't continue pestering her after that.

Helia stayed in the Joneson Residence for a while more while Elspeth headed back to Damoria. Right before Elspeth left, Frank tagged along behind her and insisted that he went with her. Elspeth glanced at Frank as he fidgeted around in the plane beside her. "Aren't you busy with work? Why did you insist on coming to Damoria with me?" she asked.

"Oh, I just wanted to travel for a while," he replied. He tried to make himself sound as casual as possible, but Elspeth could tell that he was hiding something. Judging by all his suspicious actions and his past behaviors, Elspeth quickly concluded, "Are you going to meet Agnes?"

"No. I haven't contacted that woman in a while." Frank was speechless after that. He had attempted to contact Agnes previously, but Agnes showed him mixed signals the whole time. Frank attempted to openly court after her, and he even tried to approach her privately. Yet, regardless of how he approached her, the woman still seemed nonchalant and uninterested as ever. All she ever seemed to care about was her acting career.

Soon enough, Frank figured that Agnes wasn't an easily attainable woman, so he decided that he would simply give up. "Well, you might still have feelings for her even if you aren't in contact with her now. I'm family, so you can tell me the truth," Elspeth uttered.

A series of complicated emotions flashed across Frank's expression before he eventually let out a long sigh. "Fine. I'll admit it. I was planning to meet her this time." Frank was convinced that Agnes had to be somewhat attracted to him as well. Furthermore, Frank was now capable of supporting himself, and he had his own business going on, so Agnes could no longer say that he didn't have a proper job.

Callum met them at the airport after they landed. There was a rather conflicted look on Callum's face when he saw Frank walking along behind Elspeth. "What's he doing here?" Callum asked.

"He traveled miles just for a woman," Elspeth uttered in a playful tone. The look on Frank's expression darkened immediately. "What woman?" Callum asked.
