Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 244

A chuckle escaped Elspeth as she said, “Me? Lost? No way!”

“Yeah, Callum said there’s no way you’d get lost, and you can find your way back. I thought he was just joking, but who knew that he actually knows you pretty well? What a relief.”

With that, Eric reflexively went to ruffle her hair, but Callum pulled her to his side promptly and said, “Alright, we better head back now. We have scenes to shoot tonight.”

To that, Eric grunted in response, his face sullen.

I swear, this man can’t get any pettier! What? Is no one else allowed to touch her?!

As they walked, a thought struck Elspeth. “Callum, did you write on the tag used to ask for love?” she inquired.

“Yes.”

“What have you written?”

“It’s a secret,” Callum smirked, stirring the young woman’s curiosity. “Tell me, or I’ll go back to the abbey and read it myself.”

While speaking, she pretended as though she would head back up the mountain.

“Go on, then. We’ve just descended halfway down the mountain. You might even get to stay in the abbey overnight if you go back up there now.” Instead of dissuading Elspeth, the man taunted her.

At that, Elspeth snorted indignantly. “You’re unbelievable. I can’t believe you won’t even tell me this.”

“I’ll jinx it if I say it. What about you? What did you write?”

Callum’s counter stumped the young woman for a moment. “J-Just something simple and general like peace and happiness.”

Callum would never know that she had written two tags and hung each one at a different place.

As for the other one… Hmph, there’s no way I’ll tell you! This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Mine’s simple too, very much like yours.”

Just like that, the young woman’s curiosity was laid to rest. “Okay, I’m not curious anymore. Let’s hurry back.”

Since the rain at the foothills had just stopped, the weather was still cooling, so the road down the mountain wasn’t too tiring.

The two had to return to filming, and Eric insisted on following.

“We’re going to shoot a kissing scene next. Can you take it?” Elspeth joshed, leading Eric to huff in response as he said, “That, you don’t have to worry about.”

In the end, the three headed to the production site, and when they arrived, the director was directing Yelena, who immediately went up to Elspeth upon seeing her. “You’re back, Miss Lynwood. You should go and get ready. We’ll be filming in just a bit.”

To that, Elspeth nodded and headed to the dressing room with the clothes the director had handed her.

Just as she took her clothes off and picked up the school uniform, she immediately sensed something amiss.

It was very light—so light that it wasn’t right.

As such, she checked the outfit thoroughly to find that most of the fabric had been snipped away; even the plaid shirt to be worn on the inside became low-cut.

With that, Elspeth reached for her clothes only to discover that they were gone.

Someone is f*cking with me, aren’t they?

She calmed her mind at once. There were no other clothes available in the dressing room other than the shredded uniform in her hands.

Time ticked away, and her jewels would be on display if Callum hadn’t come to get her.

Meanwhile, outside, a little-known actress suddenly shouted, “My bracelet is missing!”

Losing an item wasn’t the end of the world, and the director would be willing to get a replacement to rest the case if the lost item wasn’t too valuable or expensive.

“It was a gift from my maternal grandmother, though. It means a lot to me. I have to find the bracelet!”

The director frowned in response. “We’re going to shoot the scene soon. It can wait until after filming.”

“But I really need to find it. It’s something my grandmother left me. Please, I beg you—help me find it!” bawled the actress, on the verge of passing out.

“Alright, alright, cut it out. I’ll help you find it,” the director agreed helplessly, made troubled by her crying.

With that, the others around began helping her, and the actress turned her gaze to the dressing room when the bracelet was still nowhere to be found after they had searched high and low.

“The bracelet might be in there. I’m going to take a look inside!” With that, she reached for the door.

As everyone was searching for the missing bracelet, they were now gathered by the door and would see everything going on in the dressing room once the door opened.

“No, wait! Elspeth is still in there!” shouted Yelena, recalling that Elspeth was changing inside.

However, it was too late. The actress had twisted the doorknob and opened the door.

What was happening in the dressing room shocked everyone at once.

Callum was holding Elspeth in his arms with his back facing everyone while the young woman only revealed her side profile and messy hair.

That wasn’t all. Both of their lips were abnormally red, and what went down in there until a second ago quickly became evident to everyone.

“Look. They’re all looking at us,” said Elspeth unabashedly as she rubbed Callum’s earlobe lazily.

“Do all of you have nothing better to do?!” Callum lifted his eyes and swept his contemptuous gaze across the floor. The frostiness he exuded sent chills down everyone’s spines.

Meanwhile, Elspeth shot Yelena a glance, which the latter understood at once. At that, she shoved the actress who had opened the door and slammed it shut. “What are you guys looking at? Have you guys no shame watching a couple flirt?!”

Everyone came to themselves at once; even the actress who had lost her bracelet was flushing from embarrassment.

That said, a hint of disappointment still flashed across her eyes. How can this be?! When did Callum go inside?

At that, she looked toward the dispersing group of people. As furious as she was feeling right then, she had no choice but to put it to rest for the time being.

Meanwhile, Elspeth stood in the tiny, dim dressing room with barely any clothes on. Though she couldn’t see very well in there, a searing hot sensation enveloped her as her skin pressed on Callum’s.

“How did you know I was in trouble?” She was very shocked, surprised that he knew she was stuck in there even when she hadn’t given him a call.

“You never take this long.”

“Well, you know me well.” She smiled.

“Put on some clothes first.” Callum turned around right after handing her a second set of clothes. “I’ll stand guard.”

“Okay, you can turn around now.” Elspeth poked Callum’s back after putting the clothes on speedily, and the man smiled as he looked at the innocent, adorable young woman in a school uniform. “If only you were the one whom I met in college.”

“Now’s not too late either,” said Elspeth with a hint of seduction as she wrapped her arms around his neck, allowing Callum to give her a peck on the lips. “I know. I’m already lucky enough to meet you.”

“We’d better get out then, or the guys outside will let their imaginations run wild.” Elspeth giggled. “Also, I plan on finding out who was f*cking with me!”

If the person outside decided to come up with other ideas, her reputation would be over for good.

“Very well,” Callum smirked
