A trace of an unidentifiable emotion churned in Callum’s eyes. “Get out.”

Matthew’s newly ignited enthusiasm was extinguished at once, and he awkwardly rubbed his nose. “I’m just kidding, and you’re the one who’s supposed to steal the bride anyway.”

“Why should I?”

Matthew looked at him with a frustrated expression. “You obviously like Elspeth, so why don’t you just stay with her? Although I don’t know why you want to be with Emma, anyone with decent eyes can see that you don’t have any feelings for her at all.”

Was it that obvious? Callum touched his face, his expression shifting.

“My mom was kidnapped by Michael. He told me to break up with Elspeth and let her get engaged back home.”

Matthew’s eyes widened at his words. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier something this important?”

“Telling you won’t change anything.”

“Even if you didn’t tell me, you should’ve told Elspeth. Callum, did you really think that she wouldn’t understand?”

Callum’s eyes darkened. For the first time, he actually had the slightest idea of backing out. “If I can be threatened once because of my family, then there will be many more times. A relationship like this would be nothing but endless agony for Elspeth.”

Upon thinking of Jordan, he curled his lips. “Jordan is not bad either.”

Matthew held back the urge to slap him across the face and said, “You’re Callum Winthrop, not just anyone else. If you can’t even get the girl you like, why are you still alive? Might as well just give up on life.”

Callum looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words.

“So, you have to make everything clear. You have no time for regrets. Elspeth isn’t like other girls. She definitely can solve any problems with you.”
