Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 534 Not Fit for a Child

Callum and Elspeth ignored each other for three days. When it first began, Callum hadn't realized what he had done wrong. He hugged Elspeth from behind, and he had been rubbing his face against her shoulder when he noticed how her whole body tensed up in response. It was then that he realized that something was wrong between them. "Are you mad?" he asked.

Elspeth turned around. "I'm going to bed," she uttered without bothering to conceal the fatigue in her voice. Callum stared at her for a while, and his gaze darkened before he went into their room to grab his pillows. He ended up sleeping in the guest room that night, and they had started sleeping separately since then.

Callum and Elspeth were the only two people at home in the daytime. Usually, Callum would wake up earlier to prepare breakfast for Elspeth. However, Elspeth was surprised when she woke up to find that Callum hadn't cooked anything the next morning. She sighed at the sight of the empty table. It seems like we really have some unresolved issues. Well, I'm not going to be the one to give in this time. I'm the one who's pregnant here—Callum should be the one apologizing to me!

Elspeth ended up waiting for three whole days. Callum didn't show any signs of remorse throughout this period—he didn't seem like he wanted to give in, either. Elspeth received a call while she was waiting for Callum's apology. "It's been a while, Elspeth." Arthur's voice was clear and firm. "There's something I'd like to tell you. Is Callum beside you now?" His voice sounded like a warm summer breeze.

"No," Elspeth responded in a rather curt tone as she felt frustrated upon hearing Callum's name. "That's great. Could we meet up for a meal?" Arthur asked.

"I'm busy," she replied. "I know you're pregnant now, and I understand how you might have mood swings. However, other people might not understand what you're going through," he stated.

Does he know that I'm pregnant? "How did you find out about this?" Elspeth clenched her fists. "You don't need to know how I found out about it, but you might be more worried if others find out about it." He was obviously threatening her. Even though Elspeth didn't know how he found out about her pregnancy, she knew that he could hold it against her.

If others learned about her pregnancy, the McGraths would be the first to send someone over to hurt her. On top of that, all the other people she had offended in the past would definitely seize this opportunity to harm her. Elspeth was confident that she could protect her own child, but she felt uneasy after knowing that Arthur was involved in this matter.

Elspeth freshened up, but she didn't bother to put on any makeup. She headed over to the restaurant they had agreed to meet at. Arthur was already inside by the time she arrived, and a glimpse of fondness surfaced in his gaze when he first saw her. However, he quickly wiped the look off his face. He stubbed the cigarette in his hand and opened the window
