“I called because I miss you, of course.” Emma brushed him off before cutting to the chase, asking, “How are things going with Elspeth?”

Knowing that she was still concerned about this, Arthur smiled merrily. “How do you want me to handle it?”

Although he seemed to be seeking her opinion, Emma still sensed something off about the atmosphere. “Didn’t we agree a long time ago that we’ll get rid of her after she goes abroad?”

By that, she meant to end Elspeth’s life, and she knew Arthur would understand what she meant.

“I know that, but the time isn’t right yet.”

Hearing that, Emma became a little impatient. “Why not? Haven’t you been abroad for at least a week now?”

Arthur in the past wouldn’t have behaved like this; he would always try to meet all her requests and finish them as quickly as possible. However, it seemed like he was brushing her off now.

“Just wait a little longer. I’m already taking care of it.”

Upon hearing Arthur’s countless excuses, Emma grew uneasy all of a sudden. “Then hurry up.”

“Don’t worry, Emma, I promise to fulfill your wish.” Although Arthur’s voice remained gentle, it sounded a little half-hearted.

At his words, Emma finally let out a pleased smile. “I just knew you’re the best.”

Although Arthur was still smiling, his heart had gone cold. Why wouldn’t she marry him, then? Not only that, she even said he was the best. What a joke.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to work. I’ll call you when I’m free.”
