Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 240

“The moment I met Callum, I felt that he was different from other men. He’s deathly attractive to me.”

As Eric spoke, he clasped his hands together to show that he was in love.

“He’s a man, Eric!” Elspeth helplessly pressed her palm against her forehead. At that moment, she regretted asking Eric to come over.

“You’ve changed, Elspeth!”

Eric widened his eyes in disbelief. “So what if he’s a man? It doesn’t deter me from admiring him. If I had known your boyfriend was such a brilliant man, I wouldn’t have been so worried.”

Elspeth was surprised by Eric’s transformation.

“Are you sure you’re admiring him and not loving him? You’re drooling, Eric!”

She pursed her lips, feeling speechless.

“Well, ignore such insignificant details.” Eric waved his hand and walked up to Callum with an admiring expression. “Hello there, Mr. Winthrop. Can I call you Callum? I’m going to spend several days in Waterside. Why don’t you show me around?”

It was Callum’s first time being wooed by a man, so he would be lying to himself if he said he wasn’t frustrated.

“No.”

Eric pouted, looking aggrieved. “Come on, I know nothing about this place.”

His face was effeminately beautiful. When he acted coquettishly, even a man’s heart would melt.

Nonetheless, Callum remained unperturbed and was somewhat annoyed.

Now that Eric seemed to have lost interest in Elspeth, Callum could set his mind at ease for now.

However, he still wasn’t fond of this effeminate guy.

“Can’t you ask someone else to show you around?” Elspeth rubbed her nose. “Your lover is here anyway. You can ask her to be your tour guide.”

At the mention of Emma, Eric felt frustrated. “You know that I just dismissed her for you. I suppose she hates me very much now. Moreover, I’ve just lent you a hand. If Callum isn’t willing to bring me with him, you’ll have to do that.”
