Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 222

When they arrived in Damoria, Elspeth first found a place for Yoel to settle down before she went back

to the Winthrop Residence with Callum.She was quiet the whole journey back home. Callum, who

knew what she was thinking, casually brought up, “If you have a question, ask away.”“I want to know

what is going to happen between you and Emma.”She had been a lot busier these days. Having to

handle Michael and the problem with Jordan and Angie, Elspeth hadn’t found a chance to ask Callum

about this.“Merry meet, merry part. Since the issue has been resolved, she and I will naturally go our

separate ways. We no longer have anything to do with each other.”Elspeth was extremely satisfied with

his answer.“So?”“So,” he solemnly explained, “I’m going to publicly refute the rumors first. Firstly,

Emma and I were never really together, and she was the one who was making things up. Secondly, it is

you who are, legally, my fiancée.”“Considering how proactive you are in handling this, Mr. Winthrop, I’ll

stop picking on you.”That put a small smile on his face as he murmured, “Thank you, Mrs.

Winthrop.”“What?!” She immediately turned as red as a tomato when she heard the way he addressed

her. “Who are you calling Mrs. Winthrop?!”“It is only a matter of time before you are mine. Nothing NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

wrong with calling you Mrs. Winthrop a little earlier. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Winthrop?”Callum’s voice was

deep and magnetic, and he sounded particularly alluring when he called her ‘Mrs. Winthrop’. It was like

music to her ears.It was a good thing that she wasn’t someone who had a weakness for pleasant

voices. Otherwise, she would have been defeated by Callum’s voice alone.She didn’t say anything in

reply and only glared at him before she turned to the other side.After they arrived at the Winthrop

Residence, Callum, being the gentleman that he was, opened the car door for her and walked into the

house holding her hand.However, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a wailing woman as

soon as they stepped into the building.Emma was shedding tears in front of Theodore and Margot.

When she saw that Callum had come home, she subconsciously rushed over and blurted, “Callum!

Callum, you’re back! I saw the news about Elspeth running away from her wedding. Did you go to

her?”She suddenly froze the moment she noticed Elspeth standing beside Callum. “Callum, w-why did

you bring Elspeth home?”“What’s wrong with me bringing my girlfriend home?”His reply was calm, but

the damage was so potent Emma swiftly turned as white as snow.“Callum, how can you bring Elspeth

home when I am your girlfriend? W-What about what happened a few days ago? What was that all

about?!”Getting annoyed from all the sobbing, Elspeth answered without missing a beat, “Looks like

luck’s not on your side.”Emma was like a puppy that had been kicked and she blew her top almost

instantly. “You have no right to say anything, Elspeth!”That elicited a laugh out of Elspeth. “No right, you

say? Surely you don’t mean to say that you do. I have no idea how you got involved with Grandfather,

but the moment you tried to sabotage my relationship with Callum, I have every right to get you out of

my sight.”Emma straightened her back when she heard Elspeth’s words. “This is the Winthrop

Residence. It’s not your house. Why would Mr. Winthrop kick me out of here when he likes me?”She

then turned to look at Theodore.To her surprise, Theodore was looking at Elspeth with a guilty

expression on his face. He didn’t seem to like Emma as much as he did before.“I’m sorry, Elspeth. I

—”“It’s alright, Mr. Theodore,” Elspeth cut him off with a smile. “You were impatient because you

wanted to save your wife. I understand.” Theodore’s eyes were wet with warm tears. He couldn’t

believe he almost lost such a wonderful daughter-in-law.“What is the meaning of this?” Emma was still

confused about what was happening.“You only knew that Grandfather promised you to get you Callum,

but you didn’t know that he also kidnapped Mrs. Winthrop to force Callum to submit. Emma, you were

the only one who thought you were loved. Everything has come to light now. It’s time you wake up from

your daydream.”Emma looked at Callum in disbelief. Her heart broke when she saw the loving look in

his eyes, which were trained on Elspeth.Theodore chimed in then, “Emma, I know that you have

feelings for Callum, but Elspeth and he have been promised to each other a long time ago. Even if you

and Callum were in a relationship before, it’s all in the past. Please, it’s time to let him go.”Emma felt

herself breaking down as soon as she heard that. “I don’t believe this…” She struggled to add, “Mr.

Winthrop, I’m the one you like the most, no? You wouldn’t have treated me so well before if you

didn’t…”“Emma, it’s fine to be stupid, but flattering yourself is a big no-no. Don’t you know why Mr.

Winthrop was nice to you?” Elspeth sneered and uttered words without a hint of mercy.Emma couldn’t

stop her thoughts from running wild anymore and she burst into tears.“I like you so much, Callum. How

could you do this to me…”Callum’s head felt like it would split open anytime now, but he grew even

more annoyed hearing her crying. “Stop crying and go home if there is nothing else. Don’t make a fool

out of yourself here.”Make a fool out of myself? Emma lifted her head to look at his face, her eyes filled

with disbelief.She didn’t think there would come a day when he would say such words to her. She was

even more surprised by him humiliating her mercilessly in front of everyone.Now that the rose-colored

glasses she had on were shattered, she gingerly peered at the man who felt like a stranger to her. He

felt so unfamiliar it was detestable.She then carelessly shifted her gaze to Elspeth as though she was

unwilling to spend even one second on her.“I know! You teamed up to lie to me, didn’t you? I was

wondering why Callum was willing to be with me all of a sudden. This is all a scheme!” She looked like

a lunatic as she stood up, chortling. “I know everything now. I won’t let you off the hook. I will never let

this go!”She then dashed out of the house without a care.Elspeth only lifted her gaze then. “To be

honest,” she commented, “I’m worried about her mental state.”Callum hugged her shoulders. “It’s

alright. She only has herself to blame for everything. It has got nothing to do with us.”Even though it

was true that everything was of Emma’s own doing, Elspeth couldn’t help thinking that the woman was

rather pitiful.“I don’t think the last thing she said was a joke.”Elspeth looked to Callum with her

eyebrows furrowed as a strong sense of danger hit her.When Callum heard that, he pulled her into his

arms and held her tight. “Don’t worry. I will protect you,” he reassured her.“Ahem!”It was only when a

cough rang out from the side that the couple noticed Theodore was still there, and they awkwardly

detached themselves from one another.“It’s normal for you youngsters to be passionate in love. Don’t

mind me. Just pretend that I’m not here.”Theodore let out a stiff smile when he realized that he was

being a third wheel.“Geez! Don’t start imagining things, Dad. How’s Mom doing?”Callum was always

thinking about his mother. Even though his father repeatedly told him on the phone that his mother was

fine, he was still worried.Theodore stood up and stated, “She’s upstairs. I’ll take the two of you to her.”
