Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Self-Centered

Elspeth had the urge to run away.

Staying where she was might lead to her dying or suffering really badly.

However, Callum's reaction made her too afraid of acting rashly. All she could do was cautiously observe him.

He forcefully suppressed the fury boiling in him and stared deep into her innocent-looking eyes. His voice was cold when he eventually spoke.

"Close your eyes."

Although she was confused, she still nodded and closed her eyes.

Was she going to be beaten up?

The next thing she knew, a hot and wet kiss overwhelmed her entire mind.

His kiss was so hard and heavy that it felt like he was punishing her instead.

She did not dare open her eyes. Her only choice was to act as a conduit for his anger.

It was a few long moments before the lips pressing against hers suddenly vanished. She dazedly opened her eyes to see the dark look on his face had somewhat vanished. It was only then that her anxiety lessened.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me, just why did you come to me?"

Naturally, she knew to seize the chance given and hurriedly nodded. "Of course, it's because I love you. I missed you. That's why I'm here."

He happily nodded. "If you talk crap again, I won't stop at this."

Hiss…

Elspeth could briefly imagine what might happen, and the fantasy made her break out in a cold sweat.

"I understand."

He stood up, pulling her to her feet as well. "Well, it's getting late. I'll drive you home."

The sky had darkened sometime during their conversation. The streetlights were all lit up now as they entered into the night.

On the drive back, Callum focused on the road, never turning around to face her. "While I know what is going on, that does not mean you can do whatever you want. You have to tell me before you do anything."
