Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 224

Elspeth and Arthur rendezvoused at the office in Winthrop Group.After the move Jordan pulled the

other day, Callum didn’t feel safe letting Elspeth meet up with people anywhere else. The safest place

would be the company.It wasn’t long before Arthur opened the door and came striding into the

room.“What is this, Callum? What bullsh*t are you and Elspeth up to this time?” He scoffed and

plopped on a chair, his eyes fixed on her.“Arthur, I have something to tell you about your birth parents’

death.”Before she could say anything more, Arthur’s face fell and he warned, “Callum, I don’t mind

talking if you don’t bring up this sh*t.”“You don’t still think that your father is the murderer of your family,

do you? Arthur, you wouldn’t have held onto your grudge against Mr. Winthrop who has raised you for

decades if your brain functions even a bit!”Elspeth didn’t hold back at all. She had nothing to say to

Arthur.Arthur let out a soft chuckle at first before his laugh erupted into a full-blown chortle. “What do

you know, Elspeth? It wasn’t your parents who died, and you weren’t the one who was raised being

preferred over someone else. What right do you have to stand on the moral high ground and criticize

me? Who do you think you are?”Seeing him laughing maniacally, Elspeth took a glance at the restroom

at the side.Someone walked out right then and called out, “Arthur!”It was Arthur’s birth father, Yoel

Blue.Arthur was taken aback as he looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him, and he

suddenly didn’t know what to say.Yoel and Arthur were way too alike!Yoel was what Arthur would look

like in twenty years.Arthur was stunned and with a doubtful heart, he gingerly asked, “Are you my…

father?”When Yoel heard that last word, he couldn’t hold back his emotions anymore and swiftly burst

into tears. “Arthur! It’s me, your father!”Suddenly, Arthur glanced at Elspeth and immediately grew

cautious.“Bullsh*t! Elspeth must have found a man who looks somewhat similar to me and lied about

him being my father. You are not my father. My father died twenty years ago!”No one would be able to

accept having a person who was supposed to have died twenty years ago suddenly appear in front of

them.Seeing Arthur losing his calm, Elspeth spoke in a calmer voice. “No matter if you believe it or not,

this man is your father. I have a copy of your DNA certificate here. If you don’t believe it, you can run

the test again yourself. You’ll know whether he is your father or not.”Arthur took a deep breath and

looked at the man in front of him, his eyes were a mix of both warmth and indifference. “Why are you

back now of all times?”Yoel took a step forward to hold Arthur’s hand, but the younger man avoided

him. Yoel lamented, “Arthur, I must have been possessed in the past. Your mother died in the car

accident and I was seriously injured. As a last resort, I left you behind because I thought you could live

a good life with the Winthrops. I didn’t think—”“You didn’t think I would fall apart with the Winthrops?

And you came back because you can’t accept how things have turned out, right?”An unhesitant Arthur

exposed Yoel when he guessed what the man was about to say.Yoel was slightly stunned as he

nodded. “Arthur, our car accident back then was not caused by Mr. Winthrop. It was because I was

running away from my debts. Mr. Winthrop had no choice but to drive and follow us…” Yoel

remembered that the accident happened in the afternoon. Due to his owing a huge sum of money, he

had no choice but to abscond with his family in a fit of desperation. Unexpectedly, he met Theodore on

the road.Left with no other way, he drove away quickly. However, he forgot that this section of the road Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

was a high-risk section and he hit a stone at the side. As a result, he was seriously injured and fell into

a coma while his wife died on the spot. The only person who came out of the accident unscathed was

the child his wife tightly protected in her arms.Just thinking about this made Yoel feel sorry for both

Arthur and Theodore.“So what? That still makes him the one who pushed you and my mother to

death.”“Arthur!” Yoel’s voice immediately turned stern when he heard those words. “You must be

grateful. Theodore has raised you for so many years. Even giving you a bite of food is benevolent of

him. He even raised you so well. How can you be so heartless?!”Arthur sneered at that. “Do you think I

will forgive them just because of what you said? How ridiculous. I don’t hate them only because they

killed you and my mother. I have been wronged since I was a child. I will never forget what I lost. I will

have everything that is rightfully mine!”That put a frown on Elspeth’s face. “Wronged? What do you

mean?”Arthur realized that he had said too much. His eyes were slightly red, but he still calmed down.

“No matter what you say, I won’t forgive the Winthrops.”He glanced back at Yoel with hatred and

disappointment in his eyes. “And you… I will never, ever forgive you!”After finishing speaking, he

slammed the door and left.Yoel collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault

that things have turned out this way…”Elspeth quickly helped him up when she saw this.“Mr. Blue,

don’t think too much about it. I told you that Arthur’s thoughts have been somewhat distorted since he

was a child. Understandably, you can’t persuade him.”Yoel let out a deep sigh. “I’ll talk to him again. I’m

his biological father, after all. I’m sure he will listen to me, even if it’s only a little.”After speaking, he also

went out, leaving only Elspeth and Callum to look at each other with exhaustion in their gazes.“Callum,

why do you think Arthur turned out this way?”Callum’s voice was as calm as a lake. “Comparison is

unavoidable in a wealthy family like the Winthrops. I was also like this when I was a child.”She

immediately became interested when she heard his words. “You mean… you felt sad because you lost

to someone else when you were younger?”He began to reminisce as he thought of the past. “When I

was young, there were five children in my family, and I was the best at studying. Blake and Max would

stick to me all the time. Edmund used to tear up my test papers and say that I got zero marks every

time after my school exams. And because of that, I would be punished by not being given

dinner.”Elspeth accidentally let a laugh slip as soon as she heard that. “Edmund grew up evil,

huh?”Callum shot her a glum look. “You’re making fun of me,” he complained.“Ahem! My apologies.

Please continue. I’ll listen well and I promise I won’t laugh. Not if I can hold it in.”“And after 12.00AM

when everyone in the family had gone to bed, Arthur would sneak over to bring me food in case I was

hungry.”Elspeth rubbed her chin. “A young Arthur seems kind.”“But Arthur was actually the one who

tore up my test papers.”“And yet he brought you food at night?” Elspeth exclaimed.
