Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 170

Feeling the wound on his arm, Callum smiled softly. “I don’t know. Alright now, do you need other herbs?” he asked, shifting the topic because he didn’t want to bring up the past.

Scratching her chin, Elspeth said thoughtfully, “I still need a 500-year-old ginkgo, but it can only be bought from the auction. We’ll have to wait until evening.”

He scanned around. “Are you hungry? We’ll grab a bite if you’re hungry.”

Similar to a small commercial street, the underground black market had all sorts of facilities within, including food, drinks, and entertainment, but the prices were sky-high. Checking the menu in front of her, Elspeth was flabbergasted to see that just a plate of pasta was priced at 100 dollars.

She didn’t even bat an eyelid when paying one million for herbs but felt it was daylight robbery when the pasta cost one hundred. Bearing the pain, she ordered the pasta. Just then, she saw a familiar person at the next table when she returned the menu.

Isn’t that… Arthur? Isn’t he in Damoria? What’s he doing here? she wondered.

However, the important thing now was he shouldn’t discover them here. In a hurry, she came up with an idea and fished out two pairs of sunglasses from her bag. After putting on a pair, she shoved the other into Callum’s hand.

“Arthur is around. Put it on quickly.”

Callum understood it and put the sunglasses on obediently. “Why is he around here?” he whispered.

Actually, he had caught sight of Arthur earlier, too, but he wasn’t sure. It seemed like he had been right all along.

“What else could it be? Most probably, he’s also here for the auction. Do you think he’s here for the ginkgo, too?”

At the thought of this, Elspeth’s heart raced nervously.

“It’s okay. The Winthrops are loaded.”

“It’s not about the money. If Arthur is up to some hanky-panky, it will be tough to get the ginkgo this time.”

She thought about it, and all of a sudden, she came up with a great plan.

At the auction, she looked around, and as she expected, she saw Arthur seated not far away with his head lowered and reading something. The almost unnoticeable smile on his lips made her worry, though.
