Elspeth’s face turned pale instantly as if she had seen something shocking.

Sensing Elspeth’s grief, Emma chased after Callum and threw her hands around his neck. “Callum… I feel terrible. I’m so scared…”

He didn’t refuse her approach because his eyes were on Elspeth now, his heart thudding from the disappointed look in her eyes.

The hand holding her tightly also made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. It was as if he didn’t want her to associate herself with that man.

What is this? he wondered. I don’t have any feelings for her, so why do I feel this way?

Before Callum found an answer to his question, Emma had already started to squirm restlessly in his arms, bringing him back to his senses.

He lowered his head and whispered something to Emma. Elspeth couldn’t make out the words, but she could see his indistinct gentleness through her blurry eyes.

The fact that he no longer loved her made her sadder than anything, but now that he had fallen in love with someone else, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Sucking in a deep breath, she smilingly told Gilbert, “It’s okay. I’m fine now.”

“Sure, you are. You wouldn’t be if I came a second too late.” Gilbert was filled with indignation when he saw her lingering and hurt gaze as she looked at Callum.

Sighing, she tugged on the sleeve of his shirt and mumbled, “Gilbert? I don’t feel so good. Please take me away from here.”

“Where do you want to go?”

Gilbert refused to believe that Elspeth would go back to the Winthrop Residence as though nothing had happened.

She shot a glance at him and forced a smile. “Anywhere but the Winthrop Residence.”

Hearing that, he raised his chin and commented, “I’m glad you know what’s good for you.”

Right after he said that, he pulled the shell-shocked Elspeth out of the banquet hall.
