Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 305

Callum is too smart. Emma held back her sorrow. Tearfully, she said, “I’ll make you fall for me again!” After saying that, she ran away, keeping her envy hidden deep in her heart.

Callum’s eyes glinted. He didn’t care what Emma told him. All he could think of was Elspeth. What’s Elspeth doing in Blaydal? And that man… They’re alone together. What are they going to do? Upset for some reason, he made a call. “Get me today’s ticket to Blaydal.”
