Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 381 A Lot of Thugs

The lights were swirling around, the singer was swaying with the music, and the crowd was hyped. Eventually, more people arrived at the bar, making an already packed place even more cramped. Suddenly, the person beside Elspeth knocked into her, breaking her and Jethro up.
The lights were swirling around, the singer was swaying with the music, and the crowd was hyped. Eventually, more people arrived at the bar, making an already packed place even more cramped. Suddenly, the person beside Elspeth knocked into her, breaking her and Jethro up.

Elspeth gasped. If she were to fall among the crowd, she could be badly hurt. A bad case of stampeding just happened in an entertainment center in Herodonia, where a lot of people died. Will I die tonight?

Yet, she didn’t fall. Instead, she fell into someone’s embrace. It was a familiar embrace. When she opened her eyes, she saw Callum. His face was dark as if he was holding his anger back. “Callum? Why are you here?”

As expected, Callum didn’t answer her question. Instead, he pushed her up. Elspeth scratched her nose and took a few steps back. “Thank you.”

“Welcome. Be careful next time.” And then he left.

Elspeth opened her mouth, but she held back what she wanted to say. Forget it.

“Where are you, Elspeth?” Jethro called out to her from behind.

Elspeth turned around. Just when she was about to call out to him, she smelled a familiar scent again. Callum had returned after leaving. “What’s wrong? Do you need anything?” Elspeth wondered what he was doing.

“There are a lot of thugs here and they tend to stir up trouble. You should go home if you have nothing else to do here.”

Elspeth was wondering why he was saying that. For some reason, the mention of ‘thugs’ reminded her of Jethro. Weird. I have a feeling he’s talking about Jethro. No, no way. “But…” Someone’s looking for me.

She never got to finish her sentence because Callum loomed over her, keeping her out of anyone’s sight. Not even Jethro noticed her when he was just inches away from her. Only when Jethro had left did Callum step aside. Then, he pretended not to know Elspeth.
