Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 50 Arthur’s Provocation

Arthur was slightly surprised by the question but still asked patiently, “What? How did you know?”

Elspeth deliberated over it until she decided it wasn’t such a big deal to tell him, so she confided in him. “At the interview today, a girl named Ginna Walker called Callum her brother-in-law, and he responded in an exaggerated manner.”

Ginna…

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Callum did have a girlfriend before, and her name was Emma Walker. Ginna is Emma’s younger sister.”

She bit her lower lip before asking, “Why did they break up?”

He glanced around and then lowered his voice. “Since Emma wants to pursue her dreams, she refuses to be confined to the country, whereas Callum doesn’t want to be separated from her. Emma was the one who suggested a breakup, but Callum hasn’t been in a relationship in years.”

Although Elspeth now completely understood the story, she felt empty in her heart. “Does that mean Callum used to like that girl a lot?”

Arthur smiled matter-of-factly. “Of course, he does. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he date other women after so many years? Besides, even though Callum wasn’t a gentle soul in the past, he used to smile a lot.”

He stopped before going further. Looking at Elspeth’s absent-minded look, he comforted her with a smile. “I know you might have feelings for Callum, but… no one knows how he feels about his ex. Don’t worry too much about it; he treats you differently. Perhaps, you might be the one for him—”

Before he finished speaking, she interrupted, “It’s fine. You don’t have to explain.”

If Callum liked his ex so much, how could he still hold anyone else in his heart? That wasn’t right. If anyone else was interested in him, she wouldn’t want him anymore.

Elspeth turned on her heels and returned to her own room. She sat in the room but continued to feel uneasy, so she turned on her laptop and began searching for Callum’s past relationships. For a top hacker like her, finding out any information was a piece of cake. It didn’t take her long to find out everything that had happened between Emma and him.
