Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Drugged

“Callum, Ophelia only came here out of filial duty. The years I spent doting on her when she was little weren’t in vain, after all.” Margot shot a glare at Callum before taking Ophelia’s hand and patting it. “Look how nice Ophelia is. Now she’s not only obedient but also sensible and gracious. Why don’t you reconsider going out with her—”

“What are you talking about, Mrs. Winthrop?” Ophelia blushed shyly while giving Margot a light push.

Callum didn’t say anything in reply, but his silence already spoke volumes.

Seeing that the man didn’t respond at all, Ophelia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She retracted her hands, saying, “Mrs. Winthrop, now that Callum doesn’t like me, let’s not force him into it. It’ll make it sound like I’m threatening him.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, Ophelia? Your engagement to Callum was decided by your mother and me when you two were little. Moreover, you two grew up together, so how can he possibly have no feelings for you?” Margot said in a gentle voice, comforting Ophelia for fear that she might be hurt by Callum’s attitude.

Callum replied at once, “I already have someone I love.”

Elspeth was startled, and her fork froze in midair with a meatball on it.

“You already have someone you like? Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s Elspeth?”

Callum nodded. “That’s right. It’s her.”

Ophelia forced a smile. “Oh… Is that so?”

“You can’t love her,” Margot blurted out subconsciously.

Baffled, Callum turned to look at her with a puzzled expression. “Why?”
