Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 293

Elspeth didn’t like being called a wench. She turned around, trying to see who the woman was, and then she shot that woman a glare. “You.” Ginna. She’s here. I’ve been looking all over for her.“What?” Ginna froze. Elspeth? Why is she here? And why is she with Elias?Elias noticed the tension in the air, and he smirked. “You girls know each other?”Elspeth nodded with a mysterious smile. “Know her? We have history.”“Well, you girls go ahead then. I need to do something, so excuse me.” Elias refused to see this woman. She was the one who wanted to cancel the marriage, yet now she was acting like they were engaged. It was disgusting. He left, and now only the ladies were left.“Hooking up with another man behind Callum’s back. Wonder what he’s going to think if he finds out.”A smug smile curled Ginna’s lips. Her sister asked her to topple Elspeth and she had been agonizing over the plan, but now the perfect plan just walked up to her.“Don’t give me that smug look.” Elspeth took a sip of her tea and looked at the bulging belly Ginna was trying to hide. “Wonder what your fiancé’s going to think when he finds out you’re two months pregnant.” No use hiding it. I can tell.“What?” Ginna was shocked. How did she know? She gritted her teeth, her face pale. “Who told you that? What else do you know?”“Doesn’t matter what I know. Point is if the Coles find out the real reason you want to cancel the marriage is that you f*cked another man behind Elias’ back and got knocked up…”The color drained from Ginna’s face.She didn’t tell anyone about her pregnancy, not even her family. If they were to find out, or even worse, if the Coles were to find out, then she was done for. The Coles would come after her, and her family would disown her. “Stop your lies!”I can’t believe she’s still trying to deny it. Elspeth pursed her lips. “If you think I’m lying, why don’t you get a checkup at the hospital and tell me the results then?”“So what if you know I’m pregnant? Do you think the Coles will listen to you? Nobody can force me to get a checkup if I refuse to.”A frown furrowed Elspeth’s forehead. How annoying. “I didn’t start this fight. You did.”Ginna looked around. When she was sure that nobody was paying attention to them, she whispered, “This is not the place to talk. Come with me.”“I’m not your servant or friend, Miss Walker. I don’t do as you please.” Damn it. Just listen to me for once, will you? Ginna gritted her teeth and begged, “Please, let’s take it outside.”Elspeth stopped mocking her. She was pregnant with Gilbert’s

son, after all. If the child died because its mother got mad, Gilbert might kill her. What a drag. “Fine. Let’s take this outside.” Then, she followed Ginna out of the hall.Ginna led her to a quiet corner and blocked her view before proceeding to shoot her a nasty glare. “Tell me, how did you know? Who told you?”Elspeth shrugged. “Who else? The kid’s father.”Gilbert? Ginna’s brows furrowed at once. Carefully, she asked, “How did you know him? And who is he to you?” She was worried they might be flirting. Gilbert couldn’t have told anyone something this private otherwise.“Business partners. Nothing more, nothing less.” Elspeth noticed the flames of envy in Ginna’s eyes, and she understood why Ginna hated her so much. You and your relationship problems, Gilbert. I really didn’t have to deal with this. She cursed him in silence, yet she kept her smile on her face.Oh, good. So, they’re just business partners. Ginna smiled again. “One last thing. Please don’t tell Gilbert I am engaged. Keep that secret for me, and I’ll do anything you ask.”She’s working really hard so her kid will have a father. That, or she really likes Gilbert. “I see. So, you ran away from Gilbert because you wanted to cancel the marriage before he found out. If you did that, then the marriage wouldn’t get in the way of your dating him.”Elspeth’s guess was mostly correct. One look at Ginna’s eyes and she knew she hit the bullseye, but what she didn’t know was that Gilbert didn’t care about Ginna or her baby as much as she thought. Ginna knew that as well, so to firmly get her hands on Gilbert, she must erase all obstacles. Her baby was her ticket to get Gilbert.“Gilbert wants to be with me, so I need to get rid of all obstacles for him.” Ginna took a few steps back and pushed her hair back. Calmly, she said, “If you are his friend, you’ll keep this a secret and help us out.”Ugh. Guilt-tripping me again. Elspeth knew what Ginna was up to, but she would play along for Gilbert’s child. She nodded. “Fine. I won’t tell him for now, nor do I need any reward, but don’t try anything funny. If you hurt Gilbert, I’ll hurt you badly.”Ginna tensed up right after she relaxed. I thought she wasn’t interested in Gilbert, so why would she care what I might do to him? She was then reminded of the photo she saw in Gilbert’s wallet. That was Elspeth. Ginna was hatching another plan again. I see I have to work with Emma if I want to get rid of Elspeth.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
