Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 315

With that thought in mind, Elspeth swiftly switched up what she was going to say. “I’m in a safe place

right now, so all’s well with me, but the person who’s helping me has asked that I don’t divulge my

location to anyone else. It might cause trouble for him.” Knowing Gilbert’s personality, he would

undoubtedly save her and take her away if she told him the truth, but that would only exacerbate the

situation. Arthur might be pissed off, and it could affect Mom’s treatment.“Is that true?” Gilbert sounded

a little disbelieving.“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Elspeth chuckled lightly.Gilbert huffed at

the recollection of all the lies Elspeth had ever told him. “You’re asking me when you’ve ever lied to

me? Three years ago, you tricked me into bringing toilet paper to you at the public washroom. You

even said no one else was around, but I ended up being called a pervert by a bunch of women. Four

years ago, you dined and dashed but you pushed the blame on me—”He was getting even more

agitated with each passing second, so Elspeth quickly apologized. “Sorry! I apologize for everything! I

shouldn’t have done those things. You’re a magnanimous man, aren’t you? Please forgive me. Still, I’m

not lying to you this time.”Had it been at any other point in time, she would’ve acted as if she didn’t

have a clue about what he was saying, but right now, she could hear the ruckus around him.He’s

probably at a bar and there are so many people around him. She would be mortified by the things

Gilbert revealed about her, so she didn’t want to drag this out with him.“Fine. I’ll believe you just this

once.” Gilbert’s anger dissipated.Harper was speechless as he watched them bicker, but he was still

concerned about Elspeth. “When are you coming back, Elsie?”Going back…After leaving this time, she

didn’t know whether she could ever return.Elspeth suppressed her melancholic emotions and said with

a chuckle, “It won’t be long before I go back, but I need to stay low for now. I can head back once

everyone has forgotten about this.”Harper didn’t comment any further as he knew that Elspeth was a

cautious person. He merely reminded her to take care of herself.“I’ll leave Azure in your hands for now.

Help me keep an eye on Gilbert too. If anything happens, report it to me right away. If he bullies you

again by saying that you’re a snitch, then tell me about it, and I’ll teach him a lesson.”Elspeth’s joking

admonishments annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our

drinks. The women are waiting for us.”“Your girlfriend’s pregnant and waiting for you, yet you’re having

drinks at a nightlife establishment.”“Who said she’s my girlfriend? She’s just someone who drugged me

and got pregnant with my semen. I never claimed this child.”Elspeth didn’t think that Gilbert would be

this indifferent.“How hard it must be on your girlfriend who’s all the way in another country…” Elspeth

immediately stopped in her tracks when she realized she had said something she shouldn’t

have.However, even though Elspeth didn’t finish her sentence, Gilbert felt a trace of uneasiness.

“According to the information I got, she’s currently in the country, so why are you saying that she’s

abroad? Do you know where she is?”“That’s your girlfriend, not mine. Why would it matter to me where

she is? How would I know?”Elspeth quickly deflected and was about to hang up at once, but Gilbert cut

her off with a furious tone. “You’re not allowed to hang up until you clear things up.” Since the cat was

out of the bag, Elspeth had no choice but to explain, “Well, a while back, Elias saved me from the

ocean, right? So, I followed him back to the Coles and found out that Ginna is his fiancée, but I think

she doesn’t like him and has been trying to call off the engagement.”Elspeth’s tone was slightly

sheepish and apologetic.It wasn’t right for her to keep this from Gilbert when she was his friend.She

helped Ginna keep this a secret because she was afraid that this information might affect the couple’s

relationship, but she never would’ve thought that Gilbert wasn’t interested in Ginna at all. It was merely

Ginna’s one-sided love.There was no answer for quite some time, but Elspeth could sense that things

had gotten quite frosty on the other side of the call.Gilbert was truly infuriated.“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on

purpose.”As soon as Elspeth’s voice got a little louder, she heard footsteps outside her door, so she All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

quickly hid under the blanket and lowered her voice. “That’s all I know. I don’t know anything else,” she

said like an errant child confessing her wrongdoing.“It’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” Gilbert rubbed his

temples. He seemed frustrated.“What do you plan on doing now?”Elspeth’s joking admonishments

annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our drinks. The

women are waiting for us.”Elspeth did care about Gilbert, which included his love life. He was a close

friend and they had braved dangers together after all.“I won’t be able to check up on you for the time

being. I need to make a trip to Sunholde.”Elspeth exhaled in relief as she replied understandingly,

“Sure. I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”Gilbert sounded a little hesitant. “Well, you understand, right,

Elspeth? It’s not because I’m concerned…”Naturally, Elspeth knew what he meant and chuckled before

side-stepping the subject.“Hurry up and get on with whatever it is you’re doing. I’ve got something to do

so I’m hanging up now.”She quickly ended the call.Meanwhile, Gilbert fell into a daze as he stood there

with his phone still in hand.A few women came over and caressed his back.“Let’s have a drink, Mr.

Payne.”“Oh, Mr. Payne!”“Scram!” Gilbert, who had been smirking devilishly just moments ago, instantly

blew his top as his temper flared up.The women beside him fled in fright.Only Harper knew why Gilbert

was suddenly incensed……Elspeth spent three torturous days living with Arthur.Why was it torturous

for her?This guy’s routine is too ridiculous!Waking up at 5.00AM to go on a run around the villa? What’s

more, he keeps shouting the whole time!Although Arthur’s voice was pleasant to the ears, it was still

too hard for her to accept this habit of his.On the fourth morning, Elspeth heard the stomping sounds

outside again, and finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She dragged herself downstairs, still in her

pajamas and with a messy head of hair.When she saw Arthur leisurely making breakfast, she pointed

at him and demanded, “Arthur Winthrop! Can you stop disrupting my sleep?”Arthur flipped the steak in

the pan and smiled nonchalantly. “I’m just keeping to a normal, healthy routine. Don’t tell me there are

people still in bed at 8.00AM.”His mocking pushed Elspeth over the edge as she immediately lunged

over to get physical with him.“Cut it out. Stop making a fuss.” Arthur grabbed her hand. A smile seemed

to flash in his eyes as he looked down. “I need to do something later.”“What is it?” Elspeth glared at

him.“I’ll be going over to the Jonesons to pick up your mother.”
