Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth and Yelena spent the entire morning shopping for wedding dresses. However, none of the dresses were up to Elspeth’s standards.

After sending Yelena home, Elspeth returned to the Winthrop Residence.

During dinner, all of them were seated in the dining hall. Nonetheless, Max could feel that his family members had been peeking at him. However, when he looked up, he realized no one was looking at him.

Elspeth prepared a bowl of tomato soup for Callum and asked with a smile, “Do you think the man Yelena is seeing is reliable, Callum?”

“Of course. Matthew is known to be a responsible man. He has been in love with Yelena for quite a while. I’m sure Yelena will be happy if they get married.”

A glint flashed across Elspeth’s eyes.

At the mention of Yelena, Max’s expression changed.

He’s still pretending to be calm. I’ll see how much longer he can put up with this.

“When are they going to meet up?”

Callum took a sip of tomato soup and replied calmly, “Tomorrow afternoon. If everything goes well, they might even get engaged on the same day as us.”

“Great. I’m sure Yelena will be pleased.”

They were engrossed in talking about Yelena’s love life. Even Theodore and Margot took part in the conversation, saying that it was all Max’s fault. They were elated that Yelena had found a better man.

Max felt his eyelids twitching. “Give me a break. Why are you all acting strangely today?”

What do they mean it’s my fault? Is Yelena seeing someone now?

“Don’t you know, Max? Yelena is going to meet up with Matthew tomorrow and discuss their marriage. The March Family is well-to-do, so Matthew is a perfect match for Yelena.”

Max frowned. “Yelena doesn’t like him.”

“Familiarity breeds fondness. I didn’t use to like Callum, but I still fell in love with him in the end.”

Max’s expression darkened.

“Yelena won’t do that.”
