Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 486 Head Over Heels

“I bet you didn’t get to see Haris’ expression. He was so angry.” Elspeth was almost out of breath from laughter.

“Are you in a better mood now?” Callum’s voice softened considerably when he was talking to her.

“Of course, I am.” She rose to her feet and stretched. “I didn’t do anything today, but not only did I watch a good drama for free, but I also got a victory out of it.” It would be nice if every day could be as easy as it was today.

It was as if he had seen through her thoughts that a hint of warmth appeared from within his usually cold and stern gaze. “I’ll cover for you whenever you feel like slacking off from now on.”

She raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, and her gaze turned playful. “Is this what married life is supposed to be like?” she teased.

“Well, I can make you this happy every day.” His sudden confession caught her off guard, and for a moment, she felt the innocent feeling that would only stem from the start of a new romance. Instead, she blushed and chided him coquettishly, “Stop it! We’re still outside!”

“It’s okay. It’s just the two of us here.”
