Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 50 Arthur’s Provocation

Arthur was slightly surprised by the question but still asked patiently, “What? How did you know?”

Elspeth deliberated over it until she decided it wasn’t such a big deal to tell him, so she confided in him. “At the interview today, a girl named Ginna Walker called Callum her brother-in-law, and he responded in an exaggerated manner.”

Ginna…

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Callum did have a girlfriend before, and her name was Emma Walker. Ginna is Emma’s younger sister.”

She bit her lower lip before asking, “Why did they break up?”

He glanced around and then lowered his voice. “Since Emma wants to pursue her dreams, she refuses to be confined to the country, whereas Callum doesn’t want to be separated from her. Emma was the one who suggested a breakup, but Callum hasn’t been in a relationship in years.”

Although Elspeth now completely understood the story, she felt empty in her heart. “Does that mean Callum used to like that girl a lot?”

Arthur smiled matter-of-factly. “Of course, he does. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he date other women after so many years? Besides, even though Callum wasn’t a gentle soul in the past, he used to smile a lot.”

He stopped before going further. Looking at Elspeth’s absent-minded look, he comforted her with a smile. “I know you might have feelings for Callum, but… no one knows how he feels about his ex. Don’t worry too much about it; he treats you differently. Perhaps, you might be the one for him—”

Before he finished speaking, she interrupted, “It’s fine. You don’t have to explain.”

If Callum liked his ex so much, how could he still hold anyone else in his heart? That wasn’t right. If anyone else was interested in him, she wouldn’t want him anymore.

Elspeth turned on her heels and returned to her own room. She sat in the room but continued to feel uneasy, so she turned on her laptop and began searching for Callum’s past relationships. For a top hacker like her, finding out any information was a piece of cake. It didn’t take her long to find out everything that had happened between Emma and him.

They met in college and were each other’s first love. Then, they spent four happy years together in college. However, Emma wanted to go abroad for career development after graduating, so she broke up with him. Looking at Emma’s photo, Elspeth thought she looked gentle and sweet. In terms of appearance, she was no less inferior to Ginna, whom she met in the afternoon. Photos of the two holding hands, eating together, and riding the bicycle made up Callum’s first love experience.

Elspeth raised her head and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, a reminder message popped up on her screen. She withdrew her thoughts and read the message from Harper. ‘Elsie, I’ve already prepared the Ganoderma for you. Let me know when you’re free to pick them up.’

It wasn’t until that moment that she recalled that the Ganoderma she intended to make into medicine for that old man, Sonny Schwartz, was still at Harper’s place.

‘I’ll stop by later. Let’s meet at the bar.’

Harper replied with an ‘OK’ before Elspeth turned off her laptop.

After packing and preparing to leave, she bumped into Callum, who had just returned home.

“Where are you going?”

“That’s none of your business. Isn’t it?” she snorted.

He didn’t understand why she sounded harsh, so he frowned. “It’s already 7.00PM. Do you have to go out at this hour?”

Elspeth looked at him coldly. “I’ll repeat what I said. That’s none of your business. You should take care of your own affairs.”

Callum instantly understood what she meant. “Are you talking about what happened in the afternoon?”

She laughed mockingly. “You’re such a busy man, Mr. Winthrop. I have no right to ask you about it, anyway. You should be more mindful of your ex-girlfriend, Emma.”

When he heard the name, his aura instantly cooled. “Who told you her name?”

Seeing his impatient expression, Elspeth sneered, “Do you think I can’t find out myself, Callum?”

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down. “Whether someone told you or you found out yourself, don’t bother paying attention to her anymore, and don’t mention her name in front of me.”

She looked away and countered, “Callum, I’m not interested in your ex-girlfriend at all.”

After saying that, she walked past him and left Winthrop Residence.

While in the cab heading toward Luna Bar, Elspeth felt an indescribable feeling. She could understand Callum’s indifference and alienation before, but today, he was upset with her because of his ex- girlfriend. The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became.

When she arrived at the bar, Harper noticed she wasn’t in a good mood, so he opened a bottle of wine for her. “Elsie, what happened? Did someone wrong you at Winthrop Residence?”

She took a sip from the wineglass and responded, “I’m fine. Have a drink with me tonight. I’m not going back.”

“However, there is one important thing now. Through our cooperation with Winthrop Group, Azure Corporation’s domestic development momentum has surpassed that of foreign countries. We can consider moving the headquarters back here and develop domestically.”

Elspeth wasn’t even in the mood to talk about work. “Sure. Just figure it out yourself.”

After downing a few glasses, she still felt too sober. Suddenly, a gust of fragrant breeze wafted in her direction, making Elspeth raise her head. A figure in white was currently standing before her. There was a smile on the unfamiliar yet familiar face.

“You must be Elspeth Lynwood.”

She remained unmoved. “Miss Ginna, may I ask what you want to see me for?”

“I came here because I’d like to chat with you.”

Ginna took advantage of the situation and sat down beside her. When her gaze fell on Harper’s face, she showed a somewhat hesitant expression. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Elspeth then uttered softly, “Harper, give us some privacy.”

After Harper left, Ginna revealed her real purpose for talking to her. “Miss Lynwood, I know you because you are indeed popular.”

“That’s certainly not the case, Miss Walker. I’m just an ordinary person.”

Ginna covered her mouth and chuckled, “Ordinary person? That’s not necessarily true. You must be capable of attracting so many men pursuing you. Besides, you’re talented. Not to mention the sons of

the Winthrop Family, even I can’t help my heart from beating for you.”

Although they were words of praise, her sentences were full of sarcasm, making Elspeth feel uneasy.

“Did you come here to propose to me your business?”

A hint of light lit up in Ginna’s eyes. She then snickered, “You’re a smart person indeed. If that’s the case, I will stop beating around the bush.”

“Go on,” Elspeth uttered without blinking.

“You know who I am, don’t you? My sister and Callum have been together for a long time, and they are both in love with each other. I hope you don’t meddle in their relationship, Miss Lynwood.”
