Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 414

Chapter 414 Discovers the Wedding Invitation by Chance

There was a car with its engine started next to Elspeth's. Drenched, she approached the vehicle. "Excuse me, could you—"

Halfway through her words, she raised her head to meet those deep eyes, which put her into a trance. Due to the rain, she appeared forlorn because of her soaked clothes and messy hair.

To face Callum in such a state was a humiliation to her.

She swallowed every word that reached the tip of her tongue, but he did not mind as he prodded, "Yes? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I got the wrong person." She wheeled around, heading back to her car. Today's not my day. Why is he here? He will never give me a lift for sure. Instead of humiliating myself in the rain, I better wait for the rain to stop in my car.

Watching the drizzle pour into torrential rain, she became anxious. Just when will it stop?

While her mind was stuffed with jumbled thoughts, she could hear footsteps pattering through the water puddles.

Knock, knock.

Someone tapped on her car window. She wound down the window to see Callum standing in the rain with a black umbrella as his indifferent eyes looked into hers. She could not discern his face clearly because of the heavy rain, but his voice rang into her ears loud and clear. "Why didn't you bring an umbrella with you?"

She smiled wryly. "Are you here to nag me?"

His hand tightened around the handle for a moment when he heard that. "Now's not the time for a joke."


He was the same old indecipherable Callum today, yet she somehow felt a smidgen of concern from his tone. I must be outta my mind to think that he's worried about me.

"Did you come all the way here just to make fun of me for not bringing an umbrella?" Elspeth put on a wary face, for it was possible for him to pull such a thing.

"Am I that bad?" he questioned softly.

Don't you know how much of a b*stard you are? a smiling Elspeth cursed inwardly. She would never say that aloud because it seemed like he was going to give her a ride.

"No. Of course, not. You appear right in front of me as a savior will. So, Mr. Savior, could you please give me a ride?" she requested sarcastically.

"Is this how you ask a favor from someone?" He was unwavering.

"Forget it. I know you won't give me a lift anyways." A deflated Elspeth reclined in the driver seat with pouty lips like an irritated kitty.

"Yup. I'm here to give you an umbrella so that you can at least walk back home." He played along.

I knew it! He is not a gentleman!

"You should go now, Mr. Winthrop. Look how heavy the rain is. Even if I return home by foot, I'm going to get drenched anyway." She was going to wind up the window.

"Come to my car."

She immediately broke into a smile. "Okay. Give me a moment."

Her hands were quick. Hugging the important documents, she sprinted to his car, so fast that it surprised Callum.

"You should pay for the maintenance fee. The seat is all wet, thanks to you." He wanted money from her brazenly.

The corner of her lips twitched. "It's not that wet, though."

He barely changed her impression of himself to a better one, yet his gentle side vanished so quickly. He is truly a snake.

"I believe we should be particular about it."

Elspeth somehow believed there was another meaning behind those words, for he kept staring at her with an ambiguous gaze as if he was going to take every matter between them into account.
