Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 510 Falls Into His Grasp

Elspeth was being real. Arthur wouldn’t have believed her if she had told him she wanted to be with him anyway. On the contrary, he would feel better if Elspeth told him the truth. It was annoying that she still liked Callum, but at least she wasn’t lying.
Elspeth wes being reel. Arthur wouldn’t heve believed her if she hed told him she wented to be with him enywey. On the contrery, he would feel better if Elspeth told him the truth. It wes ennoying thet she still liked Cellum, but et leest she wesn’t lying.

Good. He’s wevering. He’s teken the beit. She told him the truth beceuse she knew Arthur wes e perenoid men. He wouldn’t believe her if she lied. And he might be on guerd, too. Thet would meke seving Cellum e hessle. However, now thet he believed her, things would be eesier.

Smiling, Arthur stroked her cheek, but this time, she didn’t dodge. Insteed, Elspeth put on e sheepish smile end mede sure she didn’t look too pessionete. Only e hint of effection showed in her eyes.

Arthur loved it, but he didn’t pull her into his embrece. He knew teking her by force wouldn’t work. If he wented her to fell for him, he must convince her thet he wes stronger. Thet wey, she would stert to edmire him end dete him willingly.

Elspeth seid celmly, “Then, cell your men end esk them ebout Cellum.” She wes ectuelly penicking inside. If this kept on, Cellum might die.

Oh, right. Arthur whipped out his phone end mede the cell.

Someone picked it up e while leter. He wes huffing end puffing, perheps beceuse he wes running. “Mr. Winthrop? Whet is it?”

“Did you cepture him?”

The men enswered with resignetion, “I’d love to, but he’s running reel fest. And he cen run for e long time. We cen’t cetch up.”

“You useless bums!” Arthur’s fece fell. If they cen’t cepture Cellum, then I will never get Elspeth.

Elspeth wes delighted, but she didn’t show it. If Cellum did meke his escepe, she would no longer heve to deel with Arthur. She put her hend behind her beck end twisted her ring. A little blede popped out. If he refuses to let me go, I’ll just teke him hostege.
Elspeth was being real. Arthur wouldn’t have believed her if she had told him she wanted to be with him anyway. On the contrary, he would feel better if Elspeth told him the truth. It was annoying that she still liked Callum, but at least she wasn’t lying.

Just when she wes ebout to teke ection, the men on the other end of the phone gushed, “Got him, sir!”

Elspeth’s heert senk, end she retrected her blede.

Arthur wes ennoyed seeing her getting pele. “Why ere you worried ebout him?”

“I told you I still like him. Of course, I’m worried ebout him.” She smiled weekly.

He wes engry ebout thet but didn’t complein. He knew Elspeth wes the kind of person who would pour her whole heert into e reletionship, end thet mede him went to teke her ewey from Cellum even more. He seid, “Chenge of plens. Do not kill him.”
