Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 210

Elspeth was most surprised by this. Little did she expect that such a thing actually happened between

Arthur and Emma…She didn’t know how she returned to the hotel. When she came back, Yelena was

already asleep; she even muttered something in her sleep when she heard Elspeth return.Elspeth lay

awake in bed all night. The next day, she found Callum’s address with her computer hacking skills

before hurrying there early in the morning.Callum was watching the news while jotting down notes

nonstop.“Callum, I have something to ask you about.”Callum didn’t say a word, but his fingers trembled

for a moment.“Emma is still in touch with Arthur at the moment. Do you know that?”Callum’s eyes

darkened; there seemed to be a cold gleam in his gloomy eyes. “I do.”“In that case, do you know

they’ve slept together before?”Callum frowned slightly with an indiscernibly complicated look on his

face. “What are you telling me this for?”Elspeth asked coldly in a stern voice, “Arthur is nominally your

brother, yet he’s slept with your ex-girlfriend. Do you still want to go out with Emma now?”Callum

averted his gaze. “This has nothing to do with you.”“Callum, tell me that you’re faking all of this and that

you have your reasons for doing so. I’ll believe you if you say that.”A frosty expression came over the

man’s face. “Elspeth, stop being unreasonable, will you?”“Callum, do you really love me?”Callum fell

silent—a silence that struck a chill into Elspeth’s heart.“I’m gonna ask you this again, so tell me the

truth. Do you still love me?”Callum’s voice was dry and hoarse. “I loved you before.”Elspeth felt as

though her heart had been thrown to the bottom of a valley and crushed beneath one’s heel. Her face

turned pale, and she bit her lip involuntarily. She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into

her palms, but she didn’t feel any pain. “Callum, we’re done.”Turns out everything they said is true; I’m

the only person who stupidly held out till the end, yet all I got was “I loved you before,” she thought.

She felt the world spinning around her, so much so that she even felt like throwing up. Pulling herself

together, she took a deep breath and walked out.After Elspeth had left, Callum stood upright in front of

the French window from which one could overlook the forest of high-rise buildings, staring at the sky far

away from the glass window with jet-black eyes. After a long time, he finally dialed a number, saying,

“I’ve broken up with Elspeth.”“Was she the one who brought it up?”“Yes.”The man’s voice was old, but

he sounded very candid. “That little girl is as stubborn as a mule. She’d never give up easily unless she

broke up with you.”“Can you release my mom now?”“As I said, I won’t make things difficult for you as

long as you’re willing to go out with Emma and make Elspeth break up with you of her own accord.”

The man guffawed. “I’ll release Mrs. Winthrop once Elspeth’s engagement party is over. Don’t worry, I

won’t hurt her.”Callum took a deep breath. “I got it.”Standing outside in the sun, Elspeth had a look of

confusion in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt somewhat numb.Jordan called just in time. “Elspeth, I’ve got a

piece of bad news to tell you.”Holding back her tears with tremendous effort, Elspeth smiled in the

glaring sun, saying, “What kind of bad news could be worse than I am now? Tell me so that I can laugh

at it. As it happens, I just had a breakup.”“Congratulations on your breakup, then,” Jordan said before

he was startled for a moment. “Wait a minute. You’ve broken up with him?”“Yeah, that’s right. You want

to laugh at me, don’t you?”Jordan’s voice took on a frosty note, which was pretty rare. “No, I don’t. I just

think that the Callum guy you liked is quite an *sshole.” Elspeth was in no mood to talk about Callum,

though. She came back to the subject, asking, “So what’s the bad news?”“Old Mr. Joneson is coming

to Waterside in three days to pick you up. I told you why; it’s because he wants you to get engaged to

me.”Elspeth agreed without hesitation, “Okay, but he doesn’t have to pick me up. I’m going back

today.”Jordan didn’t know whether to laugh or frown at her reply. “You’re really eccentric, huh?”Elspeth

replied, “This is called frankness, okay? I’m just not afraid of loving or hating anyone. Since he chooses

to keep going out with Emma, I won’t care about him anymore. I’ll live without him.”Jordan broke into a

quiet, faint smile. “There’s no hurry to go back, though. There are many fun places in Waterside, so

don’t you want to visit them and have some fun?”“No, I don’t,” Elspeth refused without hesitation.“Don’t

you want to find an opportunity to get back at Callum for the way he treated you?” Jordan’s voice

sounded tempting over the phone. “As it happens, you’ve got a free handsome guy here, who is your

future fiancé and is willing to have fun with you. Don’t you want to take the opportunity to show off a

little?”At first, Elspeth wanted to turn down his suggestion, but on second thought, what the man said

seemed to make sense. After all, she had suffered so many injustices over the past few days.A few

minutes later, they met up at the swimming pool.“Why are we here?”Jordan’s eyes were blazing with

passion as he eyed Elspeth up and down. “I want to see you in a bikini. I’ve never seen you in one

before.”Elspeth’s face turned pink instantly. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Alright, I was just

joking. We’ve got to take some intimate pictures to provoke Callum’s anger.”After pondering for a

moment, Elspeth reluctantly accepted the man’s suggestion. They changed into their respective

swimsuits, with Elspeth wearing a pink swimsuit that outlined her perfect figure and revealed her fair

and tender skin.Then, the two took two pictures of them snuggling together. As soon as they finished

taking pictures, Elspeth immediately distanced herself from Jordan.Jordan laughed as she posted the

photos on her Instagram with the caption, ‘Having a great time swimming with my boyfriend.’The

Instagram post instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Stupefied, the Winthrops commented on it one

after another.Harper commented, ‘Wow, you finally have a good eye for men once.’Max asked, ‘What’s

going on, Miss Elspeth? Who is this guy?’Blake commented, ‘I wish you two happiness.’Edmund

commented, ‘Yo! I just knew you and Callum wouldn’t last long.’Yelena commented, ‘Haha! That

*sshole isn’t worthy of Elspeth. Your boyfriend is so handsome!’Max replied to Yelena’s comment. ‘Who

the hell are you calling handsome?!’Only Callum seemed not to notice the post as though he had

vanished off the face of the earth.Jordan shook his head with a deep frown. “It’s not provoking

enough.”Elspeth raised her eyebrows. “Should we continue, then?”Hitting it off at once, the two went to

see a movie together.Elspeth didn’t pay close attention to what the movie was about, but she took a lot

of pictures. After choosing a few well-lit photos, she clenched her fists and posted them on Instagram,

asking, “How should I caption them this time?”Jordan replied, “I don’t know. How about ‘Let’s watch

movies together again in the future’?”Elspeth rolled her eyes. “How boring,” she said. Then, she Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

lowered her head and continued searching for a good caption.“What are you looking for?”Elspeth let

out a chuckle. “The best captions for relationship announcement on the internet.”Jordan was rendered

speechless.After posting the photos on Instagram, Elspeth quietly counted the number of likes and

comments. Suddenly, her phone rang; she took a look and was surprised to see that it was a phone

call from Callum’s number.
