Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Elspeth didn’t look convinced at all. “How do you know he wasn’t lying?”

“No. Even though Edmund has a sharp tongue and he likes to gloat, he never lies. When he does, the tips of his ears turn red. He can’t hide it for more than three seconds.”

With his understanding of Edmund, Callum knew that Arthur was the one responsible for all of this.

Does this mean that Arthur has been setting people up since he was a child? Surprised, Elspeth looked at Callum and asked, “In other words, Arthur has been jealous of you since way back. He’s not making a break with the Winthrop Family because he thought that Mr. Winthrop caused his parents’ death. This is solely him acting on his long-time grudge, correct?”

Seeing how quick she was on the uptake, Callum looked at her with an approving look.

“Mhm. You guessed it right. That’s what I was thinking as well. Arthur’s reconciliation with the Winthrops probably has something to do with Alphascape. It might be bad for the Winthrops.”

Elspeth suddenly thought of something. “Have you told Mr. Winthrop to be careful?”

“It’s useless. My father will never want to be wary of Arthur. After all, Arthur is the child he brought up. He won’t think badly of Arthur even if Arthur were to hurt him.”

Callum knew Theodore all too well. Although he could be brutal in business, as a father, he was just a kind, loving man.

“We need to get ready, then. We must not let him get ideas on Mr. Winthrop.”

The corners of Callum’s mouth curled into a smile. “Oh? You’re worrying about your future father-in-law already even though we’re not officially married. Is this a case of love me, love my dog?”

“My foot! I’m just concerned about Mr. Winthrop. He has been nothing but nice to me. I don’t want anything to happen to him.”

Callum patted her head and comforted her in a soft voice, “I know that you are worried about my father, but you have worked too hard, Elspeth. You are always thinking about this and that every day. I think you should start to think about yourself.”

“What do you mean?”

He pulled Elspeth into his arms and rested his chin on her forehead. “Our couple’s lovey-dovey time, of course! Don’t you agree, Mrs. Winthrop?”

He’s doing it again! Feeling flushed and worked up, she felt like a cooked prawn.
