Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Deliberately Causing Trouble

Aldea was surprised but did not say anything. She recognized Jethro's face as she had seen him before. His unruly hair and arrogant smile glued on his face were still the same as in her memory. However, she never imagined that two strangers with no connection would encounter each other over such a trivial matter.

"Don't be in such a hurry to apologize. Weren't you pretty upright when you said you didn't step on her?"

At that point, the female bully's forehead had a trace of cold sweat. "I wasn't sure if I stepped on her because I didn't feel it. After all, she's so skinny, and her wrist is as thin as a stick. It's normal for me not to feel it when stepping on her."

"Really?" Jethro fell into deep thought while looking at Aldea's wrist. Later, he seemed to think it was not enough and went over to Aldea before grabbing her wrist to take a closer look.

It was rare for her to interact with boys because she looked pretty and had a quiet temperament. Hence, the guys in her class seldom made fun of her, but it was not the same for Jethro because he was unafraid of anything.

Meanwhile, Aldea thought the hand holding her wrist was burning hot and did not know what to do.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid of me?" He could feel the thin wrist in his hand trembling.

Of course, not. I'm just shy.

Naturally, Aldea would not dare say those aloud, rendering the atmosphere between them even more ambiguous.

The rest of the story was clear-cut. The female bully noticed their relationship and was terrified. As such, she frantically apologized to Aldea before running away with her tail between her legs.

Since that incident, everyone assumed Jethro had feelings for Aldea and that they were probably together. Although he behaved like a playboy, this was the first rumored girlfriend he had. That rumor circulated at the school for several days, but no one came to clarify it. Therefore, she secretly placed a card on his desk one day, asking him if he wanted to be her boyfriend.

Jethro did not reject her and even went to pick her up after class. The two made their first kiss amidst the warm evening breeze and admitted their relationship.

On the other hand, Elspeth could not continue reading the post at that point. It was not because she was shy but because she was older now and felt uneasy reading such young but muddleheaded love stories.

The person behind this memoir was great at writing, for this story was fascinating enough to evoke the readers' emotions. In just one day, that article had surpassed five million views and produced a mysterious group of shippers, Jealda fans.

However, some negative voices surfaced on the Internet—Kylathro fans, who shipped Jethro and Skylar together. From their perspective, he was with Skylar, so why did he suddenly have to be tied to Aldea? Therefore, there were all kinds of hate comments under the post, saying that Aldea was the third party who ruined the couple's relationship.

Before the ones involved could make a statement, their fans were already arguing with each other. The matter had taken up the top three headlines in the entertainment news section, so it was reasonable to say that everyone knew about this.

Elspeth watched the unfolding drama on the web and felt a headache coming. In the meantime, Skylar seemed to have lost her mind and wanted to visit Jethro in the hospital at such a critical moment.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Miss Lynwood, everyone knows Jethro is my partner. It'll look bad if I don't visit him when he's in the hospital." Skylar was blushing, and her pinkish face was filled with gentleness as she reasoned, "Moreover, he's helped me a lot, so I wanna visit him."

With just a look at Skylar's face, Elspeth immediately knew what she was up to.

Recently, Skylar's popularity had decreased a little, and this incident hyped her popularity right back to its prime. On one hand, she did not want to let go of a chance to be with Jethro as she might improve his impression of her by taking care of him. On the other hand, she was thinking of creating some new topics with him that might bring her popularity to a new height.

How could Elspeth not see through her thoughts?

Hence, she immediately rejected, "I see you have quite a lot to do daily, so you should just stay put at the company. There's someone taking care of him at the hospital, so you don't have to worry about him."

Hearing that, Skylar instantly became displeased, and the way she spoke sounded like she was enduring her emotions. "Miss Lynwood, I'm not saying that I insist on visiting him, but he has helped me a lot. Also, I can't visit him during working hours, so I'll be visiting him after hours, which will not affect my work." In other words, just give me the address.

Frowning, Elspeth criticized. "You're already an influencer with millions of fans. Don't you know how to keep your distance?"

With how much of a stir the rumors about the love triangle had caused, Elspeth did not believe Skyler was clueless about it.

Though bad publicity was still publicity, she thought such a way was unnecessary. Moreover… She did not want Skylar to become popular.

The remaining slither of a smile on Skylar's face instantly disappeared. "Miss Lynwood, I understand." After saying that, she devastatingly turned around, but her innocent appearance immediately turned vicious.

…

After getting off work that night, Elspeth thought she had been rather merciless to Jethro during the day and planned to bring some food over to visit him. However, she was not expecting to see Skylar the moment she stepped inside the ward.

Similarly, the sneaky lady was not expecting Elspeth to visit either, so embarrassment took over her visage. "Miss Lynwood, I…" Of course, she would not tell her boss that she had been blowing up Jethro's phone that afternoon to ask which hospital he was at.

"Since you're already here, you can stay," Elspeth spoke lightly and stopped Skylar's remaining words.

As a result, Skylar was embarrassed and frustrated but could not say anything because of her identity. Meanwhile, Jethro seemed to have understood something and gazed at her. He thought about it before grabbing an orange from the bedside table and stuffing it into her hand, grinning. "You've been sitting there for so long. Have an orange."

She was surprised because he had never treated her so nicely before. Why is he acting like a completely different person? Is he touched that I came to visit him? But this change is just what I hoped.

While thinking of that, she lowered her head and peeled the orange before eating it in small mouthfuls.

Elspeth clucked her tongue silently. He is such a playboy.

Then, she placed the food she brought over on the table and expressed half-heartedly, "Here. I bought you these."

Without even glancing at it, he immediately pushed the bag toward Skylar. "I just ate, so I'm not hungry. Skylar, you came here early, so you mustn't have eaten anything, right? Have this."

How thoughtful of him to consider Skylar before anything.

Glaring at him in disdain, Elspeth grabbed a cup and filled it with water, but before drinking it, she tilted her hand and poured the water onto Skylar's hand.

"Ahh—" Skylar immediately panicked.
