Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 469 Married Life

The unwarranted jealousy was actually a little nonsensical, but Callum was upset, so Elspeth couldn’t say much about it. She could only endure it while silently complaining about how much it hurt to get bitten by him.

“You’re not allowed to comfort him anymore. Ignore him if he can’t get over it. Just leave him be.”

The look in Callum’s eyes was dark, and it was clearly visible even at night.

“Come on, don’t be so stingy. He’s your brother and my brother-in-law. How can I just stand by and watch as he falls to his ruin?”

Callum’s expression improved ever so slightly when he heard the word ‘in-law’.

“I know you’re his sister-in-law, but you should still maintain some distance from him.”

So what if they were siblings-in-law? They shouldn’t get so close to each other anyway.

“All right, got it. Let’s go back now. It’s getting late, and we should sleep early.”

Callum nodded, then took her hand as they went back to the villa. Lisa and Blake didn’t stay with them, so they left early on.

Notably, when Blake knew that his room was taken by someone else, he couldn’t do anything about it, even if he cried and screamed. He could only allow himself to be dragged away by Lisa as he put on a resentful expression.

On that note, Elspeth suddenly realized something. Blake had always maintained a gentlemanly image, but for some reason, ever since he got together with Lisa, he had turned into a fool, and he was not just any ordinary fool.

Regardless, she didn’t intend to think too much about these things. She just found it amusing that his expressions were gaining variety as time went by.

He had affected Lisa’s mood as well, and she was considerably livelier. This was a good thing, at least.

Early the next morning, Callum woke up and urged Elspeth to go to work. Before this, when Elspeth stayed at the Winthrop Residence, she had a tendency to sleep in.
