Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 316

"Really? You're going over to Joneson Residence today?"

Elspeth was so excited that she grabbed Arthur's hand. All along, she thought she would have to wait for much longer as she didn't think Arthur would agree to do so this quickly.

"That's right. If I don't go, someone might end up destroying my house." Arthur glanced down at their clasped hands and carefolly withdrew his. His tone and maimer seemed disdainfol.

"Who are you calling a nuisance?"

Elspeth fished a cherry tomato out of the salad bowl and tossed it into her mouth in a huff. However, since he was willing to help her rescue her mother, she forgave him, albeit reluctantly. "Do you need me to head over to Joneson Residence with you today?"

Arthur set down Iris spatula and eyed her as she fiddled inside the salad bowl with her bare hand. "You? Are you even considering going over with me?" he remarked distastefolly. " Aren't you afraid that you'll get caught and be locked up again?"

"Hah!"

Elspeth stuffed the final mouthfol of salad into her mouth. After recalling Michael's refusal to stop coming after her, she gave up on the idea. "You'd better go by yourself, then."

Arthur grilled the last steak and cracked some black pepper over the top before serving it up on the dining table. "Go and get the fried eggs from the kitchen. We can have breakfast first."

Elspeth was a little nonplussed to hear Arthur instructing her so casually. I'm not your maid, so why must I listen to you?

She stubbornly tinned away and pretended she didn't hear him.

"Hurry up and bring it over, or else, you won't be getting breakfast."

"Can’t you do it..."

Elspeth gritted her teeth. She was going to protest, but she remembered that her mother would be coming over soon, and if she didn't have breakfast, her mother would be worried and upset, so she begrudgingly brought the eggs over from the kitchen.

Arthur placed one of the filed eggs on Elspeth's plate and said, "What a good girl. Here's a filed egg as your reward."
