Chapter 126

Just like that, Theodore dumped it on Elspeth to make the tough decision.

She felt a painful headache hit her as she looked at the people in front of her.

Logically speaking, she should choose Callum. But now that she saw how expectant the four men were looking at her, she couldn’t say Callum’s name for some reason.

“Take a good look, Elspeth. Whom will you choose?”

Blake’s sinister eyes fell on Callum as he urged unrelentingly, “You must think carefully.”

She sucked in a deep breath. “I won’t choose.”

“Why not?” asked Callum, whose face instantly fell when he heard that.

Seeing how dark his face turned, she realized that she had unknowingly offended the young master, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Elspeth, don’t hesitate to choose whomever you want.” Edmund’s words were always tinged with a hint of displeasure.

“Fine. I choose Callum.”

Hmph.” Edmund huffed. “That’s more like it.”

She instantly understood what he meant.

He was just trying to make her come to terms with her feelings quicker and make them public.

She remembered that he didn’t like her at all. He must have deliberately said so just now to compete with Callum.
