Chapter 366 Look Into Your Heart
In the private room, Elspeth thanked the two of them for their help. Then, she asked what she should do next.
“I’ll let you handle the rest. Since you’ve recovered, it’s not appropriate for me to keep meddling in your company’s affairs.”
Jordan wasn’t aware of Elspeth’s illness, thinking that she just wasn’t in the pink of health. Since she had recovered, she had to take charge of the company again.
“Alright.” Elspeth nodded. They had done a lot for her, so she couldn’t keep troubling them anymore.
“Are you going back to Blaydal?”
Frank leaned against the chair with both palms on the back of his head. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to see us go?”
“I was hoping you’d leave sooner.” Elspeth rolled her eyes.
Frank was a sharp-tongued person, so he immediately refuted upon hearing that, “You were not like this when you needed help. Now that the crisis is over, you want to chase us away. Am I right?”
“Since I don’t need your help anymore, why would I want you to stay here any longer?”
“That’s very ungrateful of you. I have to teach you a lesson…”
Elspeth was only pulling his leg, so she didn’t expect Frank to be agitated.
When Jordan noticed the intense atmosphere, he coughed and said, “We came all the way here to lend you a hand. Since the crisis has been solved, we’re supposed to go back.”
Then, he turned to look at the sulky Frank. “Don’t be mad at him, Elspeth. Frank took the risk of coming over here in secret. If Old Mr. Joneson finds out about it, he’ll punish Frank.”
Meanwhile, Frank snorted. “What’s the point of saying all this to a heartless person like her?”
Elspeth had no idea the kind of risk Frank had to take to give her a hand.
“Alright. Thanks, Jordan and… Frank.”
Frank pretended that he didn’t hear her. “What did you just say?”
“I said thank you!”
Pleased with what he had heard, Frank said, “Alright. Since you’ve expressed gratitude, I’ll stop settling the score with you. Don’t worry. As long as I’m still around, I won’t let your company fall into trouble.”
The atmosphere was harmonious as Frank showed Elspeth his support as her family member.
Jordan pursed his lips, feeling slightly awkward.
“We’ll part ways after this meal.” Jordan picked up his wine glass. “Let’s drink to our heart’s content.”
“Sure!”
Elspeth didn’t expect that the two of them were such light drinkers.
After gulping several glasses of wine down, Frank started saying nonsense. “Elspeth, do you know that Callum…”
His face was all red, and he couldn’t speak clearly.
When Elspeth sensitively heard Callum’s name, she was startled. “What did you just say?”
“I’m talking about Callum. You have no idea how well he treats you—”
Before Frank could finish his words, Elspeth approached him and grabbed his collars. “What do you mean? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?”
An already dizzy Frank soon blacked out.
Left with no choice, Elspeth shifted her attention to Jordan, who wasn’t drunk yet.
With a slightly red face, he looked at Elspeth with a smile.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have a question.”
Jordan put on a mysterious smile. “Let me guess. Is it about Callum?”
Elspeth nodded, gazing at him expectantly.
“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can tell you.”
Jordan was slightly giddy as well. Worried that Elspeth might glean some information from him, he decided to go back before he passed out. As such, he rose from the chair and said, “We’ve had a lot of wine. Since it’s getting late, we’re supposed to go back. Why don’t I send you home first?”
A disappointed Elspeth shook her head. “It’s fine. I’m not drunk, so I can go home on my own.”
“In that case, I’ll leave with Frank now.”
When Jordan examined Elspeth and confirmed that she wasn’t intoxicated, he nodded with relief.
“Alright. Stay safe.”
Elspeth and Jordan helped Frank to the car. Before they left, Jordan looked at her and said, “Look into your heart, and you’ll find the answer.”
Elspeth didn’t understand the man’s puzzling words as she fell into a dazed state while staring at him.
With a smile, Jordan gently tapped her forehead.
“Alright. If you don’t get it, keep thinking. I’ll take my leave now.”
With that, he drove the car away without giving Elspeth a chance to ask any questions.
While standing in front of the restaurant, a dazed Elspeth kept thinking about what Jordan had said to her.
Look into my heart, and I’ll find the answer, you say?
Just then, she looked up and saw Jasmine and Callum leaving the restaurant intimately. They looked as though they were a couple who had been married for a long time.
Worried that they might discover her, Elspeth lowered her head and turned around.
Unbeknownst to her, the man had already noticed her presence. After staring at her for a while, he slowly pocketed his gaze.
In actuality, Jasmine and Callum rarely went on dates. Since he was willing to come out with her this time, she was over the moon.
Therefore, she specifically chose couple-exclusive seats at the restaurant. She initially thought that Callum would turn her down, so it surprised her when he agreed to it.
Although they were now together as an engaged couple, she felt that something was lacking between them.
As such, she tried very hard to persuade the man to go on a date with her in an attempt to sustain their relationship.
When Jasmine noticed that the man was absent-minded, she thought that he wasn’t pleased with the date. Nervous, she asked, “Are you not happy with the date, Callum?”
“No, that’s not true,” Callum replied impassively, not giving his emotions away.
“I’m glad you’re pleased with it… By the way, since it’s still pretty early, why don’t we watch a movie?”
Jasmine felt diffident when she saw how dispassionate the man looked. She wanted to make some progress in their relationship.
“I’m going back to the company to deal with work, so I can’t watch a movie with you.”
Callum turned her down. He took a look at his wristwatch and realized it was already 9.30PM.
“I’ll hail a cab for you.”
Jasmine was startled. “But we’ve only had a meal. Don’t you want to stay with me longer?”
Although she knew that they were only together for some mutual benefit, she was still irritated by his indifference.
“I’d like to stay with you, but I have work to deal with.” Callum gently pulled her into his embrace but moved away the next second. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
There was no denying it was a perfunctory hug.
Nonetheless, Jasmine felt that it was already a huge progress since he was willing to hug her.
Meanwhile, Elspeth saw everything from behind.
She didn’t hear their conversation, but she could tell that Callum treated the woman tenderly.
Well, I suppose Callum has indeed fallen in love with her.
