Leaning coquettishly against Callum, Emma looked no longer like when she was in her college days. “What would you like to drink, Callum? Let me order it for you.”

Callum slightly closed his eyes while looking rather weary. “Just go back.”

Unwilling to let him go, Emma leaned even closer to him. “Callum, I’m only here to have a little fun with you. Don’t tell me you’re so mean.”

Callum opened his eyes. “How did you know I’m here?”

A smile appeared on Emma’s face. “It’s because we’re telepathically connected, of course… Alright, I was just joking. It was Arthur who told me that you’re here.”

“How did Arthur know that I’m here?” Callum narrowed his eyes; for some reason, he felt kind of uncomfortable deep down.

Thinking that Callum was finally paying attention to Arthur and changing his attitude toward him, Emma hurriedly replied, “That’s got to be because he cares about you. You’re his eldest brother, and besides, he’s very sorry about the previous conflict between you two. He told me last time that he was looking for an opportunity to apologize to you in private.”

Naturally, Callum didn’t buy her story, but before he could ask her about it, he noticed Elspeth coming toward himself.

“Well, if it isn’t Elspeth! What brings you here to Luna Bar as well?”

Callum never expected Elspeth to come to the bar, nor did he expect her to find him here. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Elspeth let out a sneer. “What does my coming to a bar have to do with you?”

“It has nothing to do with me, of course, but no decent lady would come to a bar alone at such a late hour, no? Not to mention you have to watch yourself as Callum’s girlfriend… Back when I was going out with him, he never allowed me to go to a bar,” Emma replied. Recalling the sweet moments that she had shared with Callum back then, she covered her mouth and giggled, looking all bashful.

Elspeth smiled a faint smile. “Callum has never restricted me on this. Perhaps it’s because you look especially adulterous to him?”

“How dare you!” Emma’s face turned livid with rage. This Elspeth lady really has a caustic tongue that puts people at a loss for a retort! “Look at your girlfriend, Callum! She’s got such a fiery temper; she’s not gentle at all.”
