Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 270

Callum touched Elspeth’s waist with one hand and felt that she was too thin. I guess I’ll have to make her have more food.Certainly, Elspeth was annoyed by the man’s titillating words. As such, she subconsciously gave him a kick.Callum was enjoying this lovely moment when he felt a kick on his body. His expression changed as he released the woman and moved away. “What are you doing, Elspeth?”“Jerk! You’re just as perverted as Blake. No, you’re more perverted than him!”Before Elspeth was done criticizing the man, she was pulled into his embrace. “Alright, stop throwing a tantrum. We’ll get engaged in a few days. What’s the point of you kicking up a fuss now?”Elspeth was still reeling from the shock of the incident regarding Lisa and Blake when she heard the man bring up the engagement. At that instant, she was dumbfounded.“What do you mean that we’re getting engaged in a few days?”“Have you forgotten about what we said in Waterside? To stop the rumors from spreading, we have to get engaged to save ourselves from embarrassment.” Callum stared at her. Despite his calm expression, he appeared dangerous. “Do you plan on going back on your word?”Elspeth shook her head. “I won’t do that. However, something has been bothering me recently, so I’m not in the mood to get engaged to you.”“What’s the matter?”Elspeth glanced at him, appearing to be in a dilemma. “You know, Yelena loves Max, but he’s an obstinate and egoistic guy who wouldn’t easily tell others about his feelings. I’ve been pondering on how to make him fulfill his promise.”“That’s easy.” A smile played on Callum’s lips. “I’ll help you make Max propose to Yelena in three days.”Elspeth’s eyes sparkled like stars. “Are you serious? Can you really do that?”“There’s a condition, though. After we succeed, you have to get engaged to me at once.”Elspeth was all over the moon, so she agreed to it without hesitation. “Sure. Maybe I’ll persuade Yelena to get engaged at the same time as us.”Callum was startled as he had never thought of that. The idea of two couples getting engaged on the same day sounds interesting. Moreover, I can make use of this incident.With a smile, Callum nodded and leaned in closer to say something to the woman.“Will that work? I’m worried he’ll be pushed over the edge.”Elspeth felt uneasy.“We’ll have to push him over the edge to make it happen.”Although he had a point, Elspeth couldn’t help but wonder if it was appropriate for Callum to do such a thing to his youngerThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

brother.Elspeth said, “Hey.”“Yeah?” he asked, to which she replied, “You’re amazing.”The man was rendered speechless.The next morning, Elspeth got up early and went looking for Yelena.Yelena was still asleep when she heard the doorbell ringing. Still clad in pajamas with a bear print, she rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Since she was back in Damoria, she stayed in her own villa.Hex hung out with Matthew almost every day, so he wasn’t at home most of the time. As such, Yelena was left alone.Elspeth gazed at the woman and smiled. “Do you want Max to propose to you, Yelena?”When Yelena heard that, she became energetic in an instant. “What do you mean?”“I have a plan.”Elspeth then went on to relate the plan that she and Callum had been devising for three hours.When Yelena was done listening to the plan, her eyes brightened as she appeared excited. “Will that work?”With a smile, Elspeth gently knocked on the other woman’s head. “Don’t worry. Callum and I understand Max very well. This plan will definitely work out.”“Alright! Let’s go, then.”Yelena appeared even more excited than Elspeth as they headed to their first destination, a wedding dress boutique. After all, they would get engaged sooner or later. As such, they decided to save some time by trying on wedding dresses first.As they walked around the store, Yelena soon fell in love with a white mermaid wedding dress. She exclaimed in amazement, “Wow! This dress is stunning! I really love it, Elspeth. Hold on to my bag for me. I’ll try it on now.”Elspeth nodded with a smile. Just as she was about to extend her hand, it was slapped away by someone. As a result, her hand was in pain.She retracted her hand and saw another person taking the dress away.Elspeth shot the person a cold look and realized it was Emma, who had disappeared for quite a while.Everyone, including Elspeth, knew that Emma had been suspended from work by her company. Despite her heavy makeup, it couldn’t conceal how tired she looked.Elspeth couldn’t help but sneer. “What’s wrong, Miss Walker? Are you trying to vent your anger on others just because both your career and love life have taken a hit?”Emma’s expression changed as she felt humiliated. “What nonsense are you spouting? You haven’t bought the dress, which means that anyone can get it. Don’t you understand? What gives you the right to say I’m venting my anger on you?”Elspeth was surprised to see that Emma had become more sharp-tongued when they finally met again.“Nonsense! I was about to try it on when you snatched it from us. We have the right to buy it first.” Yelena blew her top. She had the urge to punch Emma when she saw the latter’s smug

smile.She’s just a spent force. What makes her think she can put on airs like she’s a princess?Emma snorted. “The dress is in my hands and there’s no one else. What’s the point of you saying all this?”“How dare you?”Elspeth appeased Yelena and said to Emma with a smile, “You have a point. Ignoring the fact that there are surveillance cameras around, we indeed can’t find other evidence.”“So what if there’s surveillance footage? The dress is in my hands, so it’s mine.”Just then, the staff member finally woke up from her sleep. The moment she realized how intense the atmosphere was, her heart sank.What’s going on?Elspeth snorted. “Usually, the person who can offer a higher price will get the dress. Why don’t we bid for the dress? It’ll go to the highest bidder.”Certainly, Emma wasn’t willing to do that.Even when she was at the peak of her fame back then, she was still significantly less wealthy than Elspeth.How was she, a celebrity, supposed to compare to a businesswoman when it came to wealth?“You have more money than me. I won’t agree to it.”If she agreed to the competition, she would be no different from being dumb.“Well, we can compete in something else. For example, how well we understand the design of this dress.”Emma appeared doubtful as she fell into her thoughts.She had no idea what Elspeth was up to.Nonetheless, she had taken part in countless fashion weeks and had been the ambassador for many luxury brands. She supposed she had a better understanding of fashion compared to Elspeth.As far as she was concerned, Elspeth majored in jewelry design at a foreign university. I guess she has nothing to do with fashion design. Taking everything into consideration, I’ll most likely win the competition.“Fine! I agree.”Elspeth motioned for Emma to speak first.The person who spoke first usually had more things to say and wouldn’t be affected by the other person. A glint flashed across Emma’s eyes.“This dress is as soft as moonlight, especially the pearls around the chest which add a hint of tenderness to it. As such, it’s more suitable for a demure woman.”She hinted that this dress wasn’t suitable for Yelena, who was a hot-tempered person.“Oh? I don’t think so.”Elspeth stepped forward and said with a smile, “I have a different opinion.”
