Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 195

Unable to hold it in anymore, Callum said impassively, “This is what my dad wanted.”

“Callum, am I still your girlfriend?” Elspeth’s eyes reddened. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought them back with tremendous effort.

Callum’s hands clenched into fists when he saw her on the verge of tears. “Elspeth, I…” he began, only to bite back what he had wanted to say because he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Emma raised her chin proudly. “Elspeth, I told you long ago that Mr. Winthrop likes me the most. You were never a match for me.”

Elspeth didn’t believe her at first, but now that she had listened to this, she suddenly found such words especially irritating to the ear. She asked, “Do you also want to tell me to know my place and leave Callum instead of keeping you two from getting back together?”

Emma’s face froze. She actually guessed it right. “I didn’t say—”

Instead of getting angry, Elspeth laughed. “Sorry, but I’m officially Callum’s girlfriend at present, so you’d better not impose your ideas on him for the time being.” As long as Callum doesn’t break up with me, I won’t easily give him up to this woman!

“Well, in that case, Callum and I are going out for lunch. Care to join us, Elspeth?” Emma suggested derisively.

She only meant that as a taunt, but she didn’t think Elspeth would actually accept her invitation. “No problem. Where are you guys going?”

Emma wished she could bite her tongue off at this very moment. What nonsense did I say just now? Why would I invite Elspeth to join us for lunch?! “W-We’re going to Kaiseki Restaurant.”

Kaiseki Restaurant was a Japanese restaurant, but to the best of Elspeth’s recollection, Callum couldn’t eat anything raw or cold due to his weak stomach. Knowing that Callum would refuse, she suggested, “Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Kaiseki Restaurant is fine,” Callum said impassively.

Surprised, Elspeth turned to look at the man, who looked away to avoid her gaze.
