Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

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.

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.
