Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 253

Naturally, Elspeth wasn’t concerned about such minor matters, but since it involved Callum and Eric’s reputation, she couldn’t take things lightly. “I’ll get Lisa to take the news down so that things won’t get out of hand.”

Hearing that, Callum lifted his hand and stopped her as he explained, “If we interfere with their plans at such an early stage, it will be hard to find out the people behind this. Emma and Arthur currently have their hands tied, so they won’t be able to cause any trouble for the time being. If that’s the case, then who is the one behind this?”

“You’re right.” Elspeth nodded.

“As such, the most important thing right now is to bring our relationship to light and let everyone know that you’re my girlfriend. Then, the whole matter will be resolved. Don’t you think so?” Elspeth agreed with Callum’s reasonable analysis and immediately opened her Facebook app to publish a post about her relationship with Callum, notifying the public.

“This won’t be sufficient. The public wouldn’t be interested in something abstract. The key is to engrave this matter in their hearts.” With that, he looked her in the eye and uttered with a smile, “Let’s get engaged.”

Although it sounded like a great idea, something was off about it. “Should I inform Eric about this?” She thought that she should ask for Eric’s opinion since he was involved in the matter as well. Just when she was about to give him a call, someone entered the room. It turned out to be Eric whom they hadn’t met for some time.

“Long time no see, Elspeth,” he greeted her while placing a bouquet of roses next to her bed. Elspeth smiled when she saw the roses and thanked him, saying, “I should be thanking you instead. If not for you, I would have died in the lake.”

“What are you talking about? It wasn’t just me. Callum put his life on the line while trying to save you.”

Elspeth was aware that Callum couldn’t swim, and it broke her heart when she saw how calm Callum was about that matter. She had assumed Eric was the one who rescued her since Callum looked neat when she first saw him after she regained consciousness. Moreover, he never mentioned it to her. However, after giving it some thought, she realized that the shirt Callum was wearing wasn’t the school uniform both of them wore while on the yacht; it was his formal wear.

“Callum…” Tears started welling up in her eyes.

“Don’t cry. I didn’t feel like letting you know since it isn’t something glorious.” For someone like Callum who had a big ego, almost getting killed while trying to rescue someone was humiliating to him, so he would never reveal it.
