Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 412

It brought Jasmine both joy and pain to see Callum in such a state because she was aware that a breakup was not what he wished for. She dared not acknowledge her guess to be the reason for that.

She was afraid that he went out with her just to…

As an afterthought, she mustered the courage to walk up to him and wrap her arms around his neck. "Callum, do you like me?"

"I do." His eyes were empty.

She did not feel happy one bit upon hearing that answer, hence the tactless request. "Then, kiss me."

Ever since they started dating three months ago, never once had he made any intimate request, which upset her. Jasmine knew how pretty she was and had experiences in relationships; every man in love with her would hover over her at any second.

However, Callum never looked at her with personal desires, just like a gentleman. It was not until then did he respond by retreating. "I think that's kinda quick."

The explanation was a feeble excuse. Jasmine, who was not buying it, showed sadness. "Callum, tell me, why did you decide to go out with me?"

His reaction broke her heart. She was now certain that he did not date her because of love.

"Don't overthink it. It's just an additional request. If you don't like it, I won't bring it up again." He walked toward her to hug her.

His embrace was warm yet aloof at the same time, forming a ripple in her wave of emotions. It was the first time he took the initiative to embrace her. "I'm sorry."


Those words melted her heart immediately.

"Don't be. I was reckless to doubt your feelings for me. I won't do that again. Don't worry. I'll help you." How could Jasmine bear the sight of the capable man apologizing to her?

"You're a wonderful person, Jasmine." He tightened the embrace.

"I'll treat you well, Callum." She was beaming in smiles, indulging in his warmth.

…

Three days later, it was the filming day for the advertisement. However, Jasmine and Aldea were late on their first day.

Yelena, who had been busy helping in the law firm and occupied by family matters, applied for leave. Therefore, Elspeth decided to delay Yelena's scene.

Later, Elspeth was notified that Jasmine could not join the shoot because she was on her period. Now, the only people involved in the filming were Agnes and Aldea, who arrived late.

It was Elspeth's first meeting with Aldea in person. The girl appeared different from her pictures and Elspeth's expectations.

Aldea always looked haughty and indifferent in photos, but she was gentle in person. She seemed to be only nineteen years old, despite her cold features. Every time she smiled, one could see the image of an icy barbie doll in her. Thanks to the mole at the end of her eye, it softened her overall features.

"Hi, Miss Lynwood."

Although Aldea was a rising influencer that owned about two million followers, she was a humble and affable person. Most importantly, Elspeth heard from Jennifer that Aldea was a finicky girl, hence the surprising discovery.

Elspeth smiled and nodded. "Hello, Miss Swift."

Aldea was all excited upon recognizing her savior at first glance. Even her features softened by the pleasant encounter. "Thank you, Miss Lynwood."

The speech of gratitude might appear weird to others, but Elspeth knew what she was referring to. "You're welcome."

Seems like a kind and agreeable girl to me.

Aldea cast her gaze onto the quiet Agnes. "Miss Lynwood, is she my partner?"

Agnes nodded in return, and the girls soon hit it off. It was a lightbulb moment for Elspeth. She knows how to read the room. I wonder if I can scout her for my company.
