Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 137

Elspeth realized that Callum was jealous when she saw how displeased he looked, which made her chuckle. “Callum, you’re acting like a child.” He had always looked like a grown mature man who occasionally showed his nasty side, but she never expected him to act childishly and argue with her as a child would.

“Follow me home.” Callum was even more annoyed when he saw Elspeth’s smirk and pulled her away without excusing themselves.

However, the acting president didn’t mind at all, and all he could think of was they were a couple. He never expected the aromantic Elspeth to finally get herself a boyfriend who turned out to be the president of Winthrop Group. I might be the one with first-hand information. With a smile on his face, he walked around and spread the news throughout the company.

On the other hand, as soon as Elspeth and Callum got into the car, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. “What’s your relationship with that person?” Callum asked coldly while he grabbed onto the steering wheel.

Hearing that, Elspeth wanted to clarify that the man was just her subordinate but realized that it didn’t sound right, so she came up with another reason. “He’s just a friend whom I met when I was overseas. Turns out he’s the president of the company. What a coincidence!” Elspeth lied nonchalantly. She was bold enough to do so, as Callum wasn’t able to get any information on her since she had covered up all information.

“Seems like you have a lot of friends from different age groups.” Callum’s tone was chilly, and it sounded daunting. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nah, it’s mainly because I’m sociable, so it’s normal that I have a lot of friends.” Elspeth laughed dryly.

“In that case, you should teach me how to make friends.” Callum was annoyed at the thought of the majority of Elspeth’s friends being male. She claimed that she isn’t a men’s magnet, but why are most of her friends male?

“There is no need to. Given your personality, anyone would be terrified if you tried to befriend them.” Since Callum had a callous personality, most people would be fearful of him.

“So, what do you mean?”

“What do you mean?” Elspeth pretended to not understand.

Seeing how she was playing dumb, Callum suddenly pressed a button next to the front passenger seat, and the car seat was fully reclined at the press of the button. Elspeth suddenly fell back on the reclined seat due to inertia, and it happened so suddenly that it startled her. The next second, Callum got on top of her, and he got so close that she could feel his breath in her ears. There was an amorous vibe between them. “What are you doing?” she asked.

“You tell me,” he whispered back into her ears while grabbing onto her hand to stop her from moving.

Elspeth’s face was flushed, and she avoided his gaze. “You’re the wise and mighty Callum, and anyone would like to be your friend, including me—”

Before she could finish her words, her lips were sealed with a kiss. However, it wasn’t the romantic kiss that she was expecting. Instead, it was a forceful one where Callum bit and sucked on her lips roughly.

“C-Callum?” Is he a beast? In the end, he finally let go of her.

“Tell me. Would you want to be my friend?” His voice was hoarse after all the kissing.

Hearing that, Elspeth gulped as she knew that she shouldn’t be messing with him anymore. “I don’t want to,” she answered honestly. However, Callum wasn’t that pleased about her answer and gently

brushed her lips with his thumb to wipe off the saliva.

“Then you should keep a distance from other men because I don’t like it.”

“But we mostly meet about work. I never meet them in private.” Elspeth couldn’t come to terms with that.

Although Callum was jealous, he was still rational. Despite being displeased about it, he compromised. “You can’t get in touch with other men for anything besides work-related matters.”

Briefly after, he suddenly recalled something and added, “That applies to Blake too.”

“He’s your younger brother. What are you afraid of?” Elspeth couldn’t fathom it.

“He’s my brother and not yours, so just keep a distance from him.”

Elspeth nodded. Her eyes were flickering, and her lips were slightly red from being kissed. Callum was enticed, but he held back his urge. With that, both of them drove home amidst the awkwardness.

Since the nanny was on leave and Max was still in school, there was no one at home. Noticing that, Callum looked over at Elspeth and smirked suggestively. “It’s just the two of us.”

“I’m hungry. I’ll go cook something.” Elspeth took a step back.

“You can cook?” Callum looked at her with disbelief.

“How can I not know how to cook when I’ve been living overseas by myself for so many years? I can cook with whatever ingredients I have.” She chuckled.

“Are you a good cook?” He looked at her earnestly.

“I don’t know.” She was stunned, and her face was blushing.

“What’s your signature?” He suddenly had a bad feeling after seeing her reaction.

“Mac and cheese,” she replied after giving it some thought.

Callum was lost for words as it seemed like a simple dish to make. However, he wasn’t in a position to choose. He nodded in agreement as his stomach couldn’t stop grumbling.

With that, she went into the kitchen and started cooking. Not long after, she came out with two bowls of mac and cheese. The macaroni looked burnt, and it didn’t look appetizing.

Seeing how Elspeth was anticipating him to taste it, he was too embarrassed to reject it and took up a spoon to taste it. It tastes… horrible. “It tastes pretty good,” he said.

“You’re the first one who praised my cooking! If you like it, I’m willing to cook for you every day.” She was surprised to hear his verdict.

He was overwhelmed at the thought of it, but it indeed sounded romantic. Elspeth’s eyes were flickering under the lights, making Callum’s heart pound. He suddenly stretched his arm out and pulled her into his arms. The mood became amorous as he held the back of her head and slowly leaned in for a kiss. Just before their lips met, the lights on the second floor were switched on, and Max was wide- eyed when he saw the scene in front of him.

“I didn’t see anything!” Then you should keep your eyes shut! Elspeth’s face was red hot from embarrassment. She pushed Callum away and took a few steps back. “Nothing happened in the first place—”

Callum, on the other hand, let out a few coughs embarrassedly as he looked at Max, who was standing on the second floor. “Are you hungry?” He tried to change the topic.

Hearing that, Max immediately nodded and walked down the stairs. As he looked at the odd-looking mac and cheese, he mumbled, “I’m hungry, so I came out to look for food.” After taking a bite, he immediately spat the food out. “Oh my gosh, what is this? Is it even edible?” Elspeth, who was standing behind him, instantly forgot about the embarrassment from earlier on, and her expression turned grave.
