Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 587 Gone Missing in the Public Restroom

When Elspeth and Callum returned, Hank and Yelena had already set up the grill. They had started a fire by using the woods nearby.

“Where did you guys go? What took you so long?” Yelena thought that something had happened to the duo. When she saw them, she quickly rushed toward Elspeth and checked her. Only was she at ease when she saw that Elspeth was fine. “Just gather the woods nearby next time. It’ll be enough for us.”

Elspeth nodded and smiled. “Okay. I got it.”

Elspeth and Callum put the woods they collected aside and sat down.

The fire was burning brightly. The group sat by the fireplace and ate the grilled fish while chatting.

Callum raised his beer against Hank and asked, “When are you guys getting married?”

Yelena felt that it was too early for them to discuss this topic. Immediately, she blushed and said, “We are far from getting married. I’m still working on my career, and Hank had just started his law firm… ”

“I never said it was too soon,” Hank replied coldly.

“We are only twenty-two, though. It’s too soon to get married. Plus, I’m not ready yet.” Yelena was slightly afraid of the idea of marriage.

“It’s fine. I’ll wait for you.” Hank knew she didn’t want to get married. Thus, he stopped bringing up the topic.
