Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 83

Meeting Elspeth’s fierce gaze, Ophelia got behind Callum, seemingly frightened. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do it. Please don’t push me.”

She looked as if she witnessed Elspeth push Margot off the stairs with her own eyes and the shock still. lingered in her mind.

“Ophelia, you’re responsible for Mrs. Winthrop’s injury and you know it. You pushed me in the first place, which in turn caused me to release her hand. Why are you putting all the blame on me?”

Tears rolled down Ophelia’s cheeks. “Elspeth, Mrs. Winthrop practically raised me. I would rather risk myself than hurt her. Besides, there’s some kind of history between both of you. There’s no way I’ll hurt her.”

Callum’s first thought was to deny Elspeth’s responsibility in pushing his mother, but he began to waver when he saw the certainty on Ophelia’s face.

He studied Elspeth with scrutiny. When he found the blank look on Elspeth’s face, he couldn’t describe the feelings that surged within him.

“Callum, you suspect me too, don’t you?”

In a split second, anger arose inside her as she noticed his hesitant expression.

“He hasn’t said a word, Elspeth. Why are you getting carried away? Are you perhaps feeling guilty?” Ophelia chimed in to stoke the fire, trying to drive a wedge between the pair..

“Elspeth, I’m not trying to blame anyone.” Callum paused, voice stern. “However, I don’t know whom I’m supposed to believe when my mother is lying here unconscious.”

His words sent a pang through her heart. Who would have thought the man who promised to marry her last night was the same person who doubted her character today?

“You don’t believe me, do you? Fine. It’s my fault that your mother fell down the stairs.”

Callum was taken aback when she simply took the responsibility. He didn’t mean to blame her, but it seemed like she had misunderstood his words. “Elspeth, you know I don’t mean that.”

At that, Elspeth took a deep breath. “If so, pray tell, what are you suggesting? Do you expect me to ignore the look you give me when all you do is stand there and look at me as if I’m a suspect?”
