Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 319

“What trouble?”

Elspeth had a myriad of emotions flash across her face. “I can’t tell you this for now.”

Stepping forward, Callum looked as if he was going to grab her wrist. “I’m your fiancé. What is it that you can’t tell me about?”

Frightened, Elspeth stumbled backward. “What’s wrong with you today? Why are you saying this?”

“This isn’t our first engagement.”

Callum’s words made her fall into deep thought.

“We have been engaged once before. But now that you don’t feel anything for me, it’s just superfluous to mention this.”

Elspeth, who was being distant, made Callum frown, as he was in a bit of a panic toward this kind of ambiguous feeling.

“Why did you fake your death?”

Although she knew that he was intelligent, she did not predict that he would come to know about this so soon.

“What I do is my own business. It has nothing to do with you anymore.”

She knew that she could not let him know. Otherwise, it would bring along unthinkable consequences.

Just as Elspeth wanted to leave, her wrist was firmly grabbed onto.

Turning back, she saw Callum with a very dark expression.

“Elspeth, I’m giving you one last chance. Why did you fake your death? Also, where are you staying now?”

At that moment, all the emotions hidden deep within Elspeth exploded.

“Callum Winthrop, it was you who didn’t like me anymore! Since you don’t have any feelings for me, why are you still holding onto me? Aren’t you head over heels for your first love? Go find her then. Why did you seek me out? From the amount of time when you lost interest in me till now, your indifference was enough for me to become stone-hearted too. So, don’t you think that it’s laughable, you trying to play some sort of engaged-couple act with me?”

Elspeth pressed down on his hand, trying to shake herself free.

“Callum, I’m saying this one last time. We’re over!!!”

We’re over? Cold in nature, Callum did not put any emotion in anything he did ever since he lost his feelings for her.
