Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Callum stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Elspeth’s shoulders. “What do you think?” he asked, expressionless.

“You can’t do this! Mrs. Winthrop already said that she wants you to marry me, not Elspeth. What will she think if you do this when she’s lying unconscious in the hospital right now? How can you date the woman who pushed her down the stairs?” Ophelia raised her voice, practically screeching as she was unable to accept his decision.

“I have told you time and time again that I’m not interested in you. Don’t think that you’ve won after ganging up with my mother to force me to yield. And to think that you’d shove all the blame on Elspeth. Hah.” Callum took a threatening step forward as he said with undisguised annoyance, “How do you face your conscience every day while you play the victim, Ophelia Fleming?”

One had to applaud her for her tenacity as she still insisted on putting up her act. “Do you think that I’m the one who did it? Callum, why would I harm Mrs. Winthrop? She’s been nothing but kind to me, so why would I

across her face. “Callum Winthrop, why did you suddenly speak up for me today? Aren’t you the least bit suspicious whether I’m the mastermind behind this incident?”

“I know you didn’t push my mother down the staircase.”

“Oh? What made you change your mind so suddenly?”

Callum stared out the window as he observed the bright city lights and explained, “The last time when we were

at the hospital, you were so eager to prove that you’re not the problem. You even helped me to look after my mother despite her disdain toward you. Furthermore, you succeeded in getting Mr. Schwartz back from abroad. If a person like this is actually the culprit… Then, I suppose I can only admit defeat against this individual. I can admit that such a person scares me with how far they’re willing to go to achieve their goals. More importantly, I genuinely trust you. This trust has been built up over the days we’ve spent together. My trust in you cannot be diminished by such a one-sided story filled with holes. Besides, my heart will always be biased toward you.”
