Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Margot was so angry that she trembled all over.

Elspeth is incredibly articulate, and I can’t argue with her!

“Say no more, Mom. Elspeth has my undivided love” When Callum said those words, he turned to look at Elspeth, only to find her with a poker face and the tips of her ears becoming crimson.

How adorable.

Callum had a bold thought that astonished him.

It is the first time I’ve felt like this

“I will not agree to your relationship. No matter what you say, I will not accept it!” Margot abruptly stood up. “Im sorry I agreed to let Elspeth come to our house. You’d still be listening to me if it weren’t for her!”

After saying that, she went upstairs alone, leaving the remaining six people in disbelief.

Blake was the one who reacted the most and he couldn’t help but wonder, “Elspeth, do you really like Callumn?”

“What’s wrong?” she asked with a smile upon seeing his disturbed expression.

“I first fell in love with you, so how can you possibly like him?” Blake frowned. “You too, Callum. Why did you change your mind? When I asked you before, you said you didn’t like…”

“Blake, are you complaining that your path to stardom is too smooth sailing?” Callum’s eyes were filled with rage, yet his expression was composed.

Blake couldn’t help but shrink back when he heard that. “You’re threatening me with this yet again, Callum! Okay, I don’t want to be a celebrity any longer. It makes no difference to me!”

Still, he had to admit that he had come so far thanks to Callum’s assistance.

“Alright. You may begin working for the company immediately. Bulgaria desperately needs a technical director, so why not go work there?”

Blake had a thunderous expression on his face. “No, Callum. I don’t want to go there. It would be preferable if you delegated this task to others. Being a celebrity is appealing to me.”

Blake understood Callum’s meaning when he looked at Elspeth. “Even though Elspeth likes you, I’m not going to give up. You may tell me if he bullies you, Elspeth. I’ll take you away right away!”

“Do you enjoy being a spare that much?” Callum’s voice was threatening.

Blake lowered his head as he noticed Callum’s increasingly ferocious expression.

“It’s only a joke…”

At best, he only had an infatuation for Elspeth. Hence, he’d feel sorry if he got into a fight with Callum because of her.

Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle at that.

Only Callum can handle a stunning beast like Blake.

The encounter came to an abrupt conclusion. Arthur was irritated after Margot left angrily. Only Elspeth and Callum’s relationship had been exposed, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them.

When Elspeth awoke the following day, she heard Ophelia.

Despite Callum’s rejection, Ophelia ignored it and came over. She claimed to be visiting Margot, but her

thoughts were not on the older woman.

When Ophelia saw Elspeth go downstairs, she began to make phony statements like, “You’re awake, Elspeth

Elspeth couldn’t understand why Ophelia seemed unconcerned and continued to speak to her although they weren’t fighting.

“You can still act cordial although we’re fighting. Only you can accomplish this, Elspeth stated as she stretched her back. She thought it was ludicrous. “If there’s nothing, I’ll go back and catch up on sleep.”

Elspeth turned around and was about to return to her room when Margot stopped her

“I have something to tell you, Elspeth”

She walked upstairs while winking at Ophelia, implying she was to follow along.

“I like you, Elspeth. You are intelligent and attractive, and many guys admire you. But why do you insist on spending time with Callurn? I hope you’ll understand and leave him as soon as possible. This is how you and I can get along. Don’t be concerned. The Winthrop Family’s sons are all elites. You can have your pick of any of them, except for Callumn. If they don’t appeal to you, I can introduce you to the sons of other prominent families. I swear I won’t mistreat you,” Margot stated diplomatically.

Elspeth would only be branded ignorant if she didn’t take the clue and agree.

On the other hand, Elspeth took a step back and chuckled lightly. “I’ve explained myself thoroughly, Mrs. Winthrop. You and I can’t decide whom Callum is with. It’s entirely up to him whether he marries Ophelia or anyone of his choosing.”

Margot was so enraged that she lifted her arm and tried to slap Elspeth. However, Elspeth responded swiftly enough to avoid her strike.

As a result, Margot could not maintain her balance and fell forward. As Margot was ready to slide down the stairs, Elspeth stretched out her right hand to hold Margot’s wrist.

“Please hold on tight, Mrs. Winthrop,”

Despite their disagreement, Elspeth couldn’t stand by and watch the older woman slide down the steps.

Ophelia stood back and observed the situation. Then she gave a nasty smirk.

“Mrs. Winthrop, I want to marry Callurn. Are you willing to make sacrifices for me? I’m sure you will understand.”

Margot gazed at Ophelia in surprise when she heard that.

Then Ophelia fiercely pushed Elspeth. Elspeth couldn’t help but let go of Margot and take a step back before regaining her balance.

Margot, on the other hand, rolled down the steps wildly while screaming the entire time.

Ophelia screamed unexpectedly when she saw Margot tumble to the ground.

“No!”

Everyone at the Winthrop Residence was surprised and they came rushing out. They were all terrified as they saw Margot roll to the ground.

Arthur, who was well-versed in medical abilities, approached her and performed a brief physical examination. He then grimaced. “Mom fell and lost consciousness, and she might have numerous fractures. Call an ambulance right now!”

Callum then took out his cell phone to make a phone call. He turned to gaze at Elspeth and Ophelia behind him after briefly describing the problem.

“What happened?”

Elspeth was taken aback. When she opened her lips to explain, Ophelia immediately interjected, “It’s all my fault, Callum. Mrs. Winthrop fell accidentally due to my actions, as it enraged Elspeth. It’s entirely my fault!”

Ophelia sobbed as she spoke and even glanced at Elspeth with sadness.

“But Mrs. Winthrop is not guilty. How can she be at ease if the assailant is not brought to justice?”

Falling from such a high stairwell would cause serious injury even if one did not die. Ophelia was free to change the truth now that Margot couldn’t testify.

Elspeth knew Ophelia would say something like this, so she gave Ophelia a stern look. “You did it on purpose to frame me.”
