Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Elspeth Is Tempted

After realizing who it might be, Elspeth went back to the hotel and knocked on Callum’s door. “Callum, I have something to talk to you about.”

Before Elspeth could finish what she wanted to say, she was interrupted by Callum’s cold voice. “I’m in the middle of something now. I don’t have time.”

Noticing that Callum was currently not in a good mood, Elspeth stopped talking and kept quiet.

The two were in a stalemate at the door for a while before Callum realized that his tone was a bit harsh. Just as he was about to speak to ease the situation, he received a call.

Callum answered the phone and Arthur’s voice sounded on the other end. “Callum, Emma is back.” Those three words were like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Callum’s already silent heart.

Arthur and Emma were from the same department in college, so they were pretty close. Arthur wouldn’t be lying to him. Without giving it another thought, Callum subconsciously blurted, “Where is she? Tell me.”

Since the surrounding was quiet, Elspeth could hear their conversation loud and clear.

Emma, his first love whom he liked for years, was back?

It seemed that what Arthur said was true. Callum couldn’t forget her.

“She’ll only be back for a short while this time. She’ll be leaving for Eden tomorrow morning.”

Arthur’s intentions were obvious. If Emma was taking the plane back tomorrow morning, Arthur was implying that it wasn’t too late for Callum to see her if he left now.

Callum hummed and replied, “I’ll be back later.”

After hanging up the phone, Callum lowered his head and suddenly saw Elspeth’s dazed expression.

His heart clenched unexpectedly.
