Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 226

“We are in a relationship. So, sleeping in the same room shouldn’t be a problem, right?”Elspeth saw a

hint of slyness in Callum’s gaze.Callum still had the same appearance, but the coldness and dignity in

his soul had vanished. The Callum before her was a big ferocious wolf dressed in sheep’s

clothing.“Can we sleep separately, Callum? I’m not quite ready yet.”Not so much prepared as not

prepared at all.Callum’s eyelids did not flutter. A smile gradually crept to his lips as he noticed a flash of

dread on Elspeth’s face.“It’s fine. Everyone has their first time.”How dirty-minded!Elspeth shivered as

she cuddled up on the bed.Kneeling beside her, Callum put his hand beside her to take away the

quilt.The next thing Elspeth knew, Callum, who was usually dignified, was lying on the sofa in a suit, © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

leaving the bed for her alone.“Let’s sleep.”Elspeth was unable to react in time. She expected Callum to

impose himself on her.“Callum, you’re the epitome of a gentleman.”Elspeth’s eyes were welling up with

tears. The impression he left on her became even more positive.He calmly closed his eyes and said,

“I’m not. I’ll come back to bed immediately if you say anything else.”“Don’t! I’ll sleep now.”Elspeth was

terrified and hastily closed her eyes.Elspeth couldn’t sleep after some time. And the consistent

breathing sound by her side surprised her.In a setting like this, he could sleep.“Callum,” she called out

quietly. The sound of breathing faded quickly, followed by Callum’s somewhat scratchy voice.“What is

it? Did you have a nightmare?”“No, I can’t sleep.”Callum was a square. “Keep trying. Count sheep or

something. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy tomorrow.”“I tried, yet I can’t sleep. I’m not sure

why.”In fact, Elspeth knew the reason best. It was most likely because Callum was in the same room

with her, and she felt nervous.She didn’t want to say anything for fear of making him upset.“What

should we do now?”Elspeth pondered for a long time before coming up with a suggestion. “How about

you tell me a story?”Callum shook his head. “I’m not very good at telling stories.”“When I was a kid and

couldn’t sleep, my dad would tell me stories to soothe me to sleep.”Elspeth felt nostalgic as she

recalled her childhood.“Fine.” Callum scowled and added, “There is a construction schedule for

Damoria this year. The implementation is expected to begin on August 30th. To ensure that no one is

injured—”“Stop! Callum, I’m looking for a story, not a piece of news!”Elspeth felt conflicted as she

gazed at the dark figure not far away.How can a man be so unromantic?“Then tell me what you want to

hear.”Given his lack of experience, Elspeth quickly suggested, “For example, a gentle and sweet story

about small creatures.”Callum couldn’t comprehend what Elspeth was saying, so he took out his cell

phone and looked up a story.“Cute Bedtime Stories for Girlfriend…”Callum grimaced as he read the

suggested stories. He took a long time to choose a favorite. “Once upon a time, there was a little prince

who enjoyed eating cherries. The realm was filled with cherry trees, and the cherry fairy resided among

them. The little prince thought that the cherry tree would grow red and sweet fruit, but it did not for a

long time, so the little prince was disappointed. Then a cherry fairy appeared and told the unhappy little

prince, ‘Kiss me, and the cherry will grow.’ As a result, the little prince puckered up and kissed the

cherry fairy. The cherry tree was instantly covered in blushing cherries the moment the cherry fairy

blushed. The cherry fairy whispered coyly, ‘The cherries are already sweet enough, so don’t kiss

again,’ as the little prince puckered up. ‘But you are sweeter than cherries,’ the little prince murmured

while blinking.”Callum’s voice was soothing with distinct hoarseness that drew one in.Elspeth expected

to be so aroused by his voice that she would be too excited to sleep after hearing it. However, what

happened was that she grew so drowsy after hearing his rhythmic voice that she passed out.She had

no idea when she had fallen asleep.The quilt was on her body when she awoke the following morning.

There was no Callum on the sofa.Elspeth started feeling uneasy. Just as she was ready to leave, the

door swung open.It was Callum. His shoulders were slightly damp, and he was holding an umbrella

and a bag of shrimp tacos.“Are you awake?” Callum placed the umbrella by the door before setting the

meal on the table. “I went out and bought tacos. I believe you will be hungry when you wake

up.”Elspeth nodded. She had only just awoken and hadn’t eaten much the night before, so she was

hungry.At this moment, she felt warm and comfortable as if they had been married for many years.The

tacos on the table made her gulp.“What’s the problem? Not a fan of tacos?”Callum scowled

unexpectedly.Elspeth shook her head hurriedly. “No. Of course, I enjoy it. They are my favorite.”After

speaking, she sat at the table and took up the shrimp taco to bite into it. “Mmm! Nice! It tastes fantastic.

You try some.”Callum’s brow furrowed. “I had a cup of coffee outside. I’m not hungry yet. Tacos are not

my favorite. You can have them all.”Elspeth nodded. The itching all over her body caused her to drop

her food and scratch before she could start the second portion.“What’s wrong?”Callum lowered his

gaze to the crimson marks on her arms. He then grimaced. “Do you have a seafood allergy?”Elspeth’s

bangs were drenched in sweat. “Yes… I’m allergic to seafood. However, it is not serious. I should be

fine after a while.”It stings. So itchy…Elspeth was short of breath and felt prickly and unpleasant.“Stop

being stubborn. You should have told me that you have a seafood allergy!” Callum quickly dialed 911

and sent Elspeth downstairs to meet the ambulance.Elspeth huddled in his arms while mumbling, “I’m

fine. Not to mention that you bought them for me, so I have to finish them.”“Don’t be silly! What if you

die?”Callum’s tone suddenly became cold.“If I die, find a beautiful girl to marry and have a child named

Elle Winthrop,” Elspeth added with a smile.She then sighed, “It has a nice ring to it.”Callum was

enraged, and his stare was frigid as he heard her joke. “If you die, Elspeth, I shall smash you to

ashes.”“Yeah. Take my ashes and… What are you talking about? Are you going to smash me,

huh?”This isn’t what you’d expect to see in a novel. Why do you never play by the rules, Callum?
