Chapter 458 Register Our Marriage Tomorrow

"If that's the case, we'll register our marriage tomorrow."

It wouldn't be good to keep delaying this. Callum didn't want other men to have any covetous thoughts about her.

He had already decided to return home and collect his birth certificate tomorrow, while Elspeth felt rather faint after hearing what he said.

"I didn't plan on getting married so quickly…"

To be honest, she had never thought of getting tied down to anyone at the moment.

Marriage was a huge responsibility, and she was afraid to make such a commitment. However, she didn't expect that her words would garner such a huge reaction from Callum.

He retracted the icy smile on his face, suddenly grabbed onto her waist, and pushed her up against the wall as he stared at her with cold eyes.

"Say that again."

Even though Elspeth was worried that he might do something in a fit of anger, she still came clean about her thoughts, saying, "I still don't want to… Hmm!"

The rest of her sentence was swallowed by his lips.

This was the first time Callum had kissed her so forcefully as he held her waist and pulled her close to him while he pried her lips open with his tongue.

Elspeth felt out of breath and let out muffled sounds of disapproval, but that only made him kiss her harder.

Eventually, her legs gave out, and she almost fell to the ground. But he managed to scoop her up in time.

He gave her a moment to breathe as he looked at Elspeth, who was gasping for breath before drawling huskily, "So, tell me. Do you want to marry me?"

She nodded and shook her head as her eyes turned teary.

"Such a doll." Callum looked at her pitiful face as his gaze landed on her plump red lips. His eyes darkened as he felt himself becoming aroused by the ravishing sight before him.

Still, he suppressed it.

"Marry me, please?" He gently ran his fingers through her hair as he asked softly.

Elspeth was already dizzy from the kiss and could no longer think straight as she nodded her head obediently.

"Then, we'll go register our marriage tomorrow." He caressed her head and let her off the hook with a smile. "I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."

That was the escape she needed as she dashed back to her room the instant she was released from his clutches.

Callum couldn't help but laugh when he heard the door click.

She entered the room and locked it before sitting on the bed to catch her breath. After a while, the redness on her face finally subsided.

Callum was too domineering. How could he just decide that for her? But she didn't dare to protest his words.

However, she had to admit that he was a good kisser. It seemed like he was familiar with it. Did he secretly learn it from somewhere?

She couldn't help but giggle as she imagined him watching and learning from certain non-child-friendly videos.

Just as her imagination ran wild, she heard three rhythmic knocks rapping against her door.

Elspeth didn't dare go out now and asked without opening the door, "What is it?"

"Do you have clean towels?"

Only then did she remember she hadn't prepared anything for him. She realized she only had clean towels in her room. So, it meant that she had to open the door and come in close contact with him.

But she didn't dare to open the door after the passionate kiss they shared earlier.

After some internal conflict, she took a clean towel from the cupboard and a set of loungewear before hesitantly treading to the door and opening it to see Callum wearing only pants with his upper body exposed to the world.

Elspeth couldn't help but keep secretly glancing at his beautiful muscular body and the outline of his eight-pack.

His muscles were well-toned, and he wasn't overly built, which made him a sight for sore eyes.

And his fair skin made him look delectable.

Tsk. Tsk. What am I thinking?

Elspeth had never seen this side of him as she lowered her flushed face and forced herself to look away from him.

Meanwhile, Callum curled his lips into an imperceptible smirk when he saw her reaction.

He was elated that he was attractive to her.

Elspeth handed the things over to him and intended to shut the door immediately when a hand suddenly stopped that from happening.

Callum raised the loungewear in his hands and asked meaningfully, "Do you want to explain why you've got men's loungewear in your home?"

Did that Jethro guy wear this?

As he thought of that, he couldn't help the urge to toss them aside and incinerate them.

"I prepared it just in case a need arises." She was being truthful. Even Callum wouldn't be able to pick anything wrong with that and was forced to stop interrogating her.

"I'm going to take a shower, then." With that, he turned around and left.
