Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 312

Elspeth narrowed her eyes. She wondered if she could win, but then she realized she couldn’t. She hadn’t had anything to eat the whole day, so she didn’t have much strength. “Take me, then.”The man froze. “I’m here to capture you.” He was wondering why Elspeth would let him take her. Is she stupid?“I know. Take me.” She extended her hands, looking impatient.“Odd. You should be asking me who I am, why I am capturing you, refuse to cooperate, and then fight me.” The man was stunned. His boss told him that Elspeth was a decent fighter and that he must exercise caution, yet Elspeth wasn’t putting up any resistance. He felt a little down that he couldn’t fight.The man was staring at the ground in disappointment, much to Elspeth’s chagrin. “Why should I resist? You’re here to capture me, not kill me. We can talk things out on the way. Just take me now. If the Coles come after us, none of us can leave.”“We’re not chatting. I’m here to capture you!” Angered, the man darted ahead and grabbed Elspeth’s arm, intending to throw her over his shoulder.Elspeth flung his hand away and took a few steps back. “No. I can walk on my own. Just lead the way.”The man frowned. He wanted to get mad, but he couldn’t. This is too simple. Wonder if there’s something wrong. However, his boss did tell him to take Elspeth away no matter what. Guess there’s nothing wrong with her coming with me. I still will be finishing my mission anyway. I was also ordered not to hurt her. If I push my luck, she might go back on her word and fight me until her last breath. Can’t let that happen. The man nodded and led the way. They then got into the van and left.Elspeth’s ring shone for a moment, then it dimmed.…It was Edmund’s wedding day. He had been waiting for this for three years. Ever since he saw the smart Elspeth, he had already taken a liking to her, but he never showed it, or Callum might laugh at him. To his dismay, Callum managed to make Elspeth fall for him first, and their love for each other deepened at a blistering rate. It was then he gave up on her. However, Callum lost his love for Elspeth all of a sudden, and he became the Coles’ eldest son. This was the perfect chance for him to get Elspeth.Edmund was delighted that he finally triumphed over Callum on at least one matter. At first, he wanted to get wicked drunk, but then Elspeth didn’t like the smell of alcohol nor did she like bumbling fools, so he only drank a little. He then gently told everyone off and made his way to the bedroom. Yet,

when he wobbled his way into the room, the first thing he saw was the unconscious servants. A bad feeling surged in his heart. He stormed into the room, but all he saw were the crown and wedding clothes. Elspeth was nowhere to be found. Fury flared in Edmund’s eyes. Damn it. She managed to run away even when she’s surrounded by all these people? He was disappointed, but that was Elspeth’s style, so he didn’t feel too sad. This marriage was just a test anyway. What would turn out depended on Elspeth. If she refused to sleep with him, then he wouldn’t do anything. Even if she wanted to cancel the marriage, he would do it as well. All he wanted to do was to see if Elspeth would choose him if Callum was out of the picture, but now he knew it was impossible.A bright smile curled his lips, and he closed the door. Edmund returned to the ballroom. The party was still going strong there.“Hey, it’s your wedding night. Why aren’t you with the bride?”Edmund chuckled. “The missus is exhausted. She’s asleep, so here I am.” Calling her that is certainly… odd, but not like I can call her that for a long time.“Missus? Well, someone’s bragging.”“Hey, he’s back to party with us. Might as well have as much fun as we can, right?”“Touché, my friend. Bottoms up!”…Elspeth was led to an area filled with villas. It was remote enough that no cabs would pass by. “Whose villa are we going to?”The man sneered. “My orders are to take you here. You’re going have to figure everything out yourself.” Then, she was kicked out of the van.The man drove away, leaving Elspeth in the dust. She twitched her lips. Oh my god. There are dozens of villas here. Where should I start? Then, she saw someone approaching her from afar. Arthur? “You’re fast.” Elspeth was surprised at first, but she became vigilant at once. “You led me out so that guy would take me here to you, didn’t you?”“Smart. That’s what I like about you. I can’t believe I never realized you’re this smart, and I’m not annoyed by that.” Arthur had a different opinion of her now, and he smiled.Refusing to listen to the chatter, Elspeth tried to hit him.Arthur dodged her easily. “Trying to hit me? I just saved you from hell. That’s no way to treat me.”Elspeth spat. “I saved you from hell once, and you still tried to ruin my life. Still are, actually.”The mention of that memory stirred something in Arthur. When he saw that orchid birthmark on Emma, he asked around, and she told him she was the one who saved her back in Damoria. All these years, Arthur did everything she asked him to, even if he knew she was just using him.Because of Emma, his disdain for Callum turned into hatred, yet now he knew he had gotten the wrong girl.

down; a pawn for Emma to keep in touch with Callum and his family. Now that he knew the truth, all the love he had for Emma was gone with the wind. I guess it’s only fair that I use her too.
