Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 459 Wanting to Post to Instagram

Never did Elspeth think she would play into his hands in such a way. Seeing how pitiful he looked at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to say no however much she wanted to. "Alright, let's get our marriage license. That I promise you."

The instant Callum heard this, the hurt on his face vanished without a trace. "Well then, get out of bed and freshen up now. I'll be waiting for you downstairs in ten minutes," he said before standing up immediately without looking aggrieved in the slightest like when he bumped into the table while being dragged by Elspeth just now. Instead, he looked high-spirited, as if he were going to lead her up the aisle.

Elspeth suddenly felt that she had been tricked—and in an extraordinary way at that. For a moment, however, she couldn't think of anything else; she could only get dressed and wash up mechanically before getting changed and coming downstairs.

Noticing that she had no makeup on her face, Callum reminded her in a deep voice, saying, "We're getting our marriage license at the city hall today. Aren't you gonna put on some makeup?"

Only then did it occur to Elspeth that she seemed to have forgotten to do something. Looking at the man with displeasure, she retorted, "Why didn't you remind me just now? I thought we were just going to sign our names on some papers." Had he not asked her to come downstairs in ten minutes, she wouldn't have been so nervous as to forget to wear makeup.

"What's the big deal about that? My honey's a natural beauty who looks pretty whether she's got makeup on or not."

Elspeth rolled her eyes. "Since when did you become such a smooth talker… Wait a minute. Who let you call me 'honey'?" She never expected him to call her 'honey' so naturally and without any burden.

Callum pulled her into his arms right away before resting his chin on her shoulder. "Well, you'll be my honey in no time, no? Or if you don't like me to call you that, we can switch to another one. Hmm… What about Mrs. Winthrop?"

"W-Who told you that I'd like it?!" She broke free of his embrace as a scarlet blush crept over her face. Then, she quickly ran upstairs and closed the bedroom door.

It took her about half an hour to wear makeup that she was barely satisfied with before coming downstairs with some hesitation. To be honest, she felt somewhat uncertain about this. She hadn't thought about getting married at such a young age, so it was indeed a big challenge for her to choose to get married so soon.

Callum's lips curved slightly when he saw how Elspeth had pretty good-looking makeup on and had even purposely changed into a formal dress for the occasion. "You look beautiful today."

Elspeth's face reddened at his sudden compliment. "Alright, stop it. Let's get our marriage license." She still got a little shy at the mention of the words 'marriage license.'
