Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 256

Without Emma kicking up a fuss, Elspeth and the others entered the banquet hall and found their seats. Mr. Aiden already had too much to drink, so his cheeks turned rosy, making him stand out even more. “We’ve finally finished filming for our drama, ‘The Moment I Met You’. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves and eat everything you want. After all, I’ve seen how hard all of you have worked for this drama. Thank you, everyone!”Meanwhile, Max kept putting food on Yelena’s plate. “Enough, Max. I don’t want to eat that much. I’ve told you so many times that I’m on a diet. I can’t finish everything,” she complained.“Why are you on a diet? You’re not even fat, so why are you trying to lose weight?”She replied dramatically, “Are you saying that I’m not fat? Max, are you out of your mind? Have you seen a celebrity who weighs more than 120 pounds?”Of course, he knew that she had gained some weight for the sake of this drama. Her little face had also become rounder, but he still found her skinny.Although she had a face that looked like a child’s, she stood tall at almost 5’5. As such, weighing 120 pounds was just right for her; she was even slightly underweight.“So what? I don’t mind,” Max muttered under his breath, but Yelena heard everything.“What did you say? I heard everything. I knew it! You secretly like me and want to be with me, but you’re too embarrassed to say it.”Hearing that, he rolled his eyes and hit her head playfully. “Stop talking nonsense. Come on, have a few more bites.”Yelena stopped rejecting him and began eating without a care in the world. Max has already said he doesn’t mind my little bit of weight, so why should I care so much? What even is a diet? I should stop thinking about that!When Elspeth saw them flirting with each other, she felt like an emotional father looking at his daughter who was about to get married.At the same time, Callum was busy putting food on her plate as well. He even knew that she had germophobia, so he used the serving spoon to pick up the dishes.The moment she saw the mountain of food on her plate, her speechlessness was no less than Yelena’s. “Callum, I don’t like papaya…”No one knew what was up with Callum, but he took a huge glass of papaya milk for her, seeming as though he wanted to help her boost her bosoms.As his eyes scanned her chest area, he calmly said, “You need a little boost.”What? Which part of me needs boosting? Although she was smiling on the outside, she was gritting her teeth so forcefully that she nearly broke

them.Suddenly, she thought of a way to get back at him. She took a raw oyster and put it on his plate right away. “You should eat more of this too. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. You’ll perform better in bed after eating this.”Hearing that from the side, the others were shocked and pricked up their ears at once.“Am I not good enough now?” As Callum narrowed his eyes, he looked perilous.Elspeth knew she had said something that would provoke any man, but her anger was festering in her. “How would I know? It’s not like I’ve experienced it before.”As soon as she said that, she became clear- minded instantly. Sh*t, why did I ask him such a stupid question?Instead of being enraged, Callum simply grinned. “Okay, let’s try it tonight. You’ll know whether I’m good in bed or not.”“You’re very good even without me trying, actually.” She nodded sincerely. “I’m telling the truth. Trust me, I’ve always believed in you about this. There’s no need to try such unnecessary things.”“Alright, then.” He nodded in satisfaction. He wanted to tease her a little, so when he saw the hint of panic on her usually smiley face, he was quite happy about that. “Okay, okay. After dinner, we’ll each go back to our own homes and sleep in our own beds without disturbing each other.” She shrunk a little, distancing herself from him.As he arched his eyebrow, he said, “You’re afraid, aren’t you?”“Why would I be…” How can I not be afraid? He looks so much stronger than me. If he does something to me, I won’t be able to defend myself…“I feel a little dizzy. I’m going to use the washroom.” She stood up after saying that. Although she was only feeling slightly dizzy from drinking too much, she wanted to avoid this topic by excusing herself to the washroom.Just then, Callum wanted to stand up as well. “Do you need me to go with you?”With a fake smile, she replied, “Nope. Do you want to be seen as a pervert again?”At the thought of the two girls’ terrified looks last time, he felt uncomfortable all over. Do I really look like a pervert? After excusing herself from Callum, she went to the washroom alone.The lights at the entrance of the washroom were dim. She stood in front of the basin and held the water in her hands before splashing it on her face. After that, she felt much soberer.Before Elspeth could lift her head, two people suddenly came out from the cubicles. When she heard them mentioning Yelena, she didn’t raise her head and took the chance to wash her face a little longer.“Do you think Yelena will receive karma after pissing so many people off?” The young girl in a white dress had a beaming smile, but she looked incredibly mean.“Well, it’s her fault for using her beauty to take other people’s resources away, isn’t it?

people want to scourge her because of that.” The other young girl in a black dress looked enchanting but mediocre.These two people seemed vaguely familiar to Elspeth. They were probably just minor characters in ‘Song of Viollenys’.“Personally, I think Yelena looks average. She’s only relying on Elspeth. Without Elspeth, she’s nothing.”Hearing that, Elspeth looked up and glanced at the girl next to her through the mirror. She was a mere six out of ten, and she’d look plain if she was barefaced. There were plenty of people like her in the entertainment industry. For someone like her to say that Yelena looked average, there was probably something wrong with her.“Exactly! As long as we find the right opportunity without Elspeth beside her, she can be taken care of within a few minutes.”“Oh? Are you going to take care of her?”“I wouldn’t dare. People are already lining up to teach her a lesson, and it’ll be a long time before it’s my turn.”The two of them laughed, but when those words reached Elspeth’s ears, it wasn’t as simple as a joke. Her internal alarm instantly went off, and after the two of them left, she quickly ran back to her table. Most people had already left by then, leaving only Callum and a few men who were still drinking.She asked anxiously, “Callum, where’s Yelena?”“That little girl can’t handle her liquor. She passed out after a few drinks, so Max and Blake took her back to the hotel. What’s wrong? Do you need her for something?” This was the first time Callum had heard her asking about Yelena in such a worried tone, and he felt uneasy for some reason.“It’s nothing, actually.” When she heard that the two men had taken Yelena back to the hotel, she finally relaxed.In the end, Elspeth and Callum also returned to their hotel room and were about to rest when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.Perplexed, she answered the call, and on the other end was Max’s urgent and desperate voice. “Elspeth! Blake and Yelena have been kidnapped!”
