Chapter 145

Worrying that Yelena might overthink, Elspeth cast a consoling glance at her. “Don’t mind him. He has always been this way; don’t take his words to heart.”

Hearing this, Yelena, who had been maintaining a calm front earlier, could no longer control her sadness as tears welled up in her eyes.

“I am fine,” she said while sniffing, pretending to be fine.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell him off when I get home later!”

“Okay.”

Elspeth then quickly left with Callum, worrying that if they stayed on any longer, they wouldn’t be able to coax Yelena once she started wailing.

When they returned to the car, Elspeth found Max sulking alone in the backseat. “Why did you say that just now? Do you really not like her?” Elspeth couldn’t control her urge and ask.

“I don’t like her, of course. Would anyone like her? She’s so silly and has no brains at all.”

“You’re still being so obstinate, huh? If that’s the case, why do you need to worry about whether a man is in her house or not? When did you start showing such a keen interest in other people’s affairs, Max?”

Elspeth observed Max’s slightly relaxed expression and continued, “Let me guess. You’re angry now because she chased you out but not that man, am I right?”

Max opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but he was at a loss for words.

“You’re overthinking it. Hex is sleeping in another room. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Elspeth was simply making a casual remark, but Callum secretly noted it down.

Yes, I admit that I just can’t stand her being alone with other men, even her cousin, but I’m a nobody and have no say in her matter. This explained why Max could only swallow his rage. Wait. Is this an indication that I like her?
