Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Love Is Blind

"Don't move. Just let me hug you a little longer." Gilbert rested his face on Elspeth's neck as if he was a kid.

Meanwhile, Elspeth quickly realized the inappropriateness of the man's reaction and responded with an unfathomable expression on her face. "Stop it, Gilbert," she said with a soft yet commanding voice. Upon hearing the lady's rejection, Gilbert reluctantly let go of the lady and sulked in disappointment. Fortunately for him, the dim lighting in the bar due to the night made it hard for Elspeth to see the expression on his face.

"You're drunk. Go get some water to sober up." She gazed at his eyes which were filled with burning desires, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with what he just did earlier.

"I'm not drunk. I'm good." He looked like he wanted to explain more, but she quickly cut him short.

"No, you're indeed drunk."

It then dawned on Gilbert that Elspeth was just looking for an excuse to avoid his advances to woo her. "Yeah, yeah. I'm a little tipsy, indeed. I can't believe I just hugged the wrong person."

When Elspeth heard Gilbert's reply, she couldn't help but feel puzzled about what he meant. The next second, the man walked past her and approached an innocent-looking girl standing not far away from her. As soon as the girl Gilbert hugged turned around, Elspeth was stunned the moment their eyes met. Isn't that Isabel? What's she doing in a place like this? Wait a second. I entrusted Gilbert with her myself, didn't I?

"Hey, Elsie. You're here." Isabel's heart skipped a beat in response to Gilbert's unexpected hug. When her eyes met Elspeth's gaze, she seemed as if she didn't know what to say.

Elspeth's tone implied that she was worried and
