Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 541 Why Do You Have to Compare?

On the other hand, Elspeth tugged at Callum's hand, signaling him not to be so harsh. Then, he let it slide for her sake.

"I heard you're pregnant?" Gilbert suddenly asked.

She was caught off guard that he knew about it and figured Isabel must have seen the pregnancy test when she visited and told him about it.

"I had an abortion." She could tell Callum's mood had changed when she said that.

"You should rest up." For some reason, Gilbert didn't feel anything. There were no mixed emotions as he expected. "Would it bother your rest if I bring Isabel over today?"

"Since you've mentioned it, go ahead and bring her here. I'll be fine."

Relieved, he took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll go now."

Returning home, Gilbert called out in the hallway but got no response. He felt guilty, thinking Isabel might be upset since he took her away. He went upstairs, knocked on her door gently, and said, "Isabel, come out. I need to talk to you."

Since there had been no response, he finally decided to force his way inside due to his unsettling intuition. He noticed the room was spotless as if no one had ever lived there. His heart tightened as he looked around and spotted a white note on the desk. He read it and was speechless. 'Gilbert, I know you don't like me, and I'm not running away out of spite. Don't worry; I won't bother you or Elspeth. I'll find a job somewhere. I've grown up and have some savings, so I'll be fine. Goodbye." The words were curt but firm.

Suddenly, Gilbert felt dizzy, not expecting Isabel to run away. He had no choice but to tell Elspeth and send people to search for her. Hearing about Isabel through the phone, Elspeth sprang up from the couch. "What did you say?"

"Isabel ran away."
