Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 178

Chapter 178

As soon as the words ‘sharing the same bed’ fell from Callum’s lips, Elspeth immediately felt her face

burning red. She was at a loss for how to answer and could only give Callum a fierce glare. “Fine, then

leave.”Callum didn’t seem to notice her glare as he turned his head away. “I’m not leaving.”“I’ll prepare

the guest room for you.”He shook his head. “I’ve already built a relationship with your bed, and it says it

doesn’t want to part with me.”The corners of her mouth twitched at his daring. “In that case, why don’t

you call out to it and see if it agrees with you?”Then, she saw him sitting on the bed, holding the side

and asking, “Do you want me to leave?”The bed shook violently three times, making loud creaking

noises.Just as she was about to interject, he added, “Do you want me to sleep with Elspeth?”He rocked

his body, and the bed creaked once.Callum shrugged and spread his hands. “Look, I told you; you

need to sleep with me. Otherwise, your bed will be very upset.”Elspeth couldn’t help but feel amused at

his antics. “Callum, how childish can you be?”“Also, a ghost will hide under your bed tonight if you insist

on sleeping alone. While you’re sleeping, it will climb out from under your bed and watch you

sleep…”She smacked her palm against his head. “I’m not scared of ghosts.”He took the slap without

protest and looked at her aggrievedly. “But I’m scared. I don’t dare to sleep alone.”In that case, who

were you trying to scare with that ghost story?Elspeth rested her forehead against her palm as she

tried to find a way out of this. Eventually, when she saw how persistent he was being, she pointed at

the ground and announced, “You can sleep in my room tonight. But you will sleep on the floor, and I will

sleep on the bed.”Callum opened his mouth to probably say something cheeky. Alas, before he could

say anything, he promptly swallowed his words after seeing the evil eye she was giving him. “Also, I will

kick you out if I find you climbing into my bed.”The bed smelled like her, so he was truly very reluctant

to leave.Nevertheless, he obediently listened to her demands and slept on the ground. That way, he

could at least lie to himself better as he was sleeping in the same room as her.She could not get a

good night’s sleep that night. It was her first time sleeping in the same room as a man, so her nerves

remained tense throughout the night.On the other hand, he seemed utterly unaffected and slept

soundly that night.Callum fell silent when he woke up the following day. The moment he noticed the

deep and dark circles under Elspeth’s eyes, he hesitantly said, “Was it… Very tiring last night?”Elspeth

yawned and snapped irritably, “Yeah, that’s all thanks to you!”After the butler passing nearby heard her

words, he was so shocked that he nearly slipped and fell.When she saw the horrified look that the

butler was giving her, she immediately knew that he had misunderstood her words. Her voice became

a little anxious, “It’s not what you think!”He glanced at the butler lightly and smiled at her. “Don’t be shy.

I won’t press you for answers.”After the butler heard those words, he couldn’t help but shudder. “Didn’t I

prepare a guest room for you last night, Mr. Winthrop? Why…”He never expected the two to sleep

together, even though Michael had explicitly ordered them to sleep separately last night.Elspeth

seemed to realize upon hearing the butler’s mutterings. Sure enough, a glint of murderous intent

appeared in her eyes. “Callum Winthrop… There was a guest room prepared for you, wasn’t

there?”Callum rotated his wrists with an indifferent expression. “The bed in the guest room is too hard. I

couldn’t sleep well.”What bed would be harder than the ground? She gritted her teeth and forced a

smile. “You sure are something.”He graced her with a small smile. “I know how capable I am. But there

are others here. It’s inappropriate to talk about that here.”After he said that, he glanced at the butler

with a seemingly unintentional look.The butler smiled awkwardly, cold sweat pouring profusely down

his back. Why are they telling me about their bedroom matters? If old Mr. Joneson discovers that I

failed in my task, I might be fired on the spot! The butler cursed vehemently at Callum in his heart, but

he still had to pretend to be pleasant and generous on the surface. “I don’t know anything. Old Mr.

Joneson is calling for me, so I have to go.”Elspeth had never seen the butler walking so quickly before.

Yet, she merely turned to roll her eyes at Callum when she saw the butler fleeing in panic.“Why are you

giving me that look?”She took a deep breath, trying to restrain her temper for her sanity’s sake. “I’m

going to the hospital to visit Frank later. Will you be coming with me?”The humor in Callum’s eyes

vanished instantly when he thought about how she was running around every day because of other

men. “No.”She looked at the sulky expression on his face and asked coolly, “Why? Are you planning to

stay at home and have tea with Grandfather?”When his mind brought up the vision of the old man who

was clearly unhappy with him yet had to fake a genial appearance, he furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

“In that case, I will drive you there.”So, they cleaned themselves up without further ado. Then, they left

the house and headed to the hospital in Callum’s car.Inside the hospital, Frank was chatting away with

Spencer. When he saw Elspeth and Callum walking over, he quirked his eyebrows lightly at the sight of

them coming together.“You’re here.”When she saw that Frank seemed to be fine, she was secretly

amazed by his speedy recovery. “Let me check your back.”“No!”“No!”Two voices rang out at the same

time. Frank was one of pure awkwardness and embarrassment. On the other hand, Callum looked cold

and forbidding. His expression almost seemed like he was about to skin Frank alive.“I am a doctor.

Why are the both of you kicking such a fuss?”Therefore, she decided to strong-arm her way through

their rejection as she lifted the cloth covering Frank’s back without warning. She looked at the flesh that

was gradually healing on his back and nodded in satisfaction. “You’re recovering well. It’ll probably

finish healing in another two or three days.”Frank never imagined that a woman would possess such

strength. She held his arm so firmly that he couldn’t even budge.“Elspeth, are you really a

woman?”She looked at how easily he was being manipulated and mockingly said, “If I’m not a woman,

would that make you one?”A man being held down by a woman. Just who is more humiliated here?

Frank flushed, shamefaced, but he could not refute her words.At this point, Callum’s expression was as

dark as the bottom of the pot. He suddenly felt highly irritated when he was forced to watch their playful

yet casual interaction. “Are you done?”Frank’s self-preservation radar probably died from discomfort

earlier, as he even had the heart to joke teasingly, “What’s this? Are you jealous? I can’t believe you’re

jealous of your own uncle! Callum, you’re such a petty man.”Callum shifted his cold gaze to Frank’s

face, and the look in his eyes was threatening.“Why are you glaring at me with that look? Look at him,

Elspeth. Your boyfriend is such a fierce man.”Callum narrowed his eyes. “Whom are you saying is © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

fierce?”“What’s wrong with saying something about you? You’re living in my house! If you’re going to

give me such an attitude, then I’ll just kick you out!”Elspeth had always thought that Frank was an

unreachable man before she got to know him personally. He had always seemed so arrogant that it

was hard to approach him. Moreover, he always had a sour expression on his face.After she actually

got to know the man beneath the mask, she realized that he was actually a childish man. His words

were often aggressive and mocking. Not to mention, he was often sarcastic to everybody.“Alright, that’s

enough. You’re both injured. Can you calm down for once?”Her head was buzzing with their noisy

quarrel.Frank swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and muttered angrily, “I would never forgive

you if it weren’t for Elspeth.”“If you’re going to be like that, then don’t blame me for being rude.”Callum

was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Coupled with his frigid expression and terrifying temper, he certainly looked

like he would attack somebody at a moment’s notice.
