Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 92
Chapter 92
Elspeth tightened her grip on her skirt while on tenterhooks. “So, what are you trying to say?” She suddenly had a bad feeling.
“I’m saying that Ophelia is indeed the one behind this incident, including the deaths of Lydia and her mother. Ophelia is the mastermind. Of course, I’m not a part of any of those,” Arthur told her everything without hiding, which made her slightly confused.
According to Callum’s analysis, Arthur and Ophelia are most probably colluding with each other, but why is he framing her so brazenly now? “So, what’s your point?” She didn’t believe that he just wanted to be a good guy and help her clear her name.
“Well, if you can agree to one condition, I’m willing to help you prove that everything is Ophelia’s fault.”
Ophelia was just a usable pawn for him. Now that the pawn was useless, it was understandable for him to abandon her. It would be so much better if he could use her in exchange for a bigger benefit.
His condition was quite tempting because Elspeth couldn’t find any chance to look for the evidence that would prove Ophelia was behind everything in the near future. All she could do was wait for Margot to wake up, but her condition was not stable. It was hard to tell whether she would wake up or not.
Yet, Elspeth didn’t show any sign of anticipation on her face and instead said impatiently. “What condition are you talking about?”
“Marry me.”
When she heard that, she stood up sharply. “No way I’m agreeing to that.”
“Don’t rush into rejecting me first. I don’t mean for you to stay with me for the rest of your life. I just want to fake a marriage. We just need to sign the marriage certificate. When the time comes, we can file for divorce by then.” In his eyes, marrying Elspeth and obtaining the 20 percent share was the most tempting thing for him.
As for the relationship part, he thought that it was a little precarious, so he didn’t want to force it.
“Why do you want to do that?” He wants to fake a marriage, which means that he has no feelings for me at all.
Since it’s not to get me, what kind of benefit can he get from me?
“The reason… Of course, I have my own reason. If you change your mind, you can drop me your reply anytime.” Arthur was rushing back to the hospital for work, so he didn’t have time to convince her here, but she
wasn’t someone who could be convinced either.
“Oh, right. Don’t think about recording.”
Elspeth was shocked by his sudden turning back, and what he said shocked her further.
“You really keep your eyes open, Dr. Winthrop.” Although that was what she said, she still reached out her hand to stuff the recorder pen back into her pocket. He got me.
After that, she returned home, which was a villa not far away.
After she moved out of the Winthrop Residence, she bought a unit in a villa area in Southdale because the location here was near the hospital, so it was easier for her to check on Margot’s condition and look for
evidence.
When she came home that day, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing outside the villa beside hers.
However, she didn’t care much about it. Just as she wanted to enter her villa, that familiar figure suddenly
turned around and called her name. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Elspeth.” The face and voice were just as she thought. It was Jordan, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
When Jordan found out that Elspeth lived here, he showed an unbelievable and surprised expression on his
face. “The Winthrop Family’s fiancée actually lives here. How surprising!”
She knew that he was teasing her, so she wasn’t bothered by it. “It’s not quite nice for me to stay too long in the Winthrop Residence. Of course, I need to have my own house.”
“If that’s the case, then we’re neighbors. The closer person gets the chance first. Mr. Winthrop might be behind
me this time.”
When she heard that, she was speechless. “If there’s nothing else, I should head back home now.” She turned
around and was ready to leave.
Jordan didn’t stop her either. He just gave her a smile from afar.
After Elspeth returned home, she thought about it for a long time, but still decided to tell Callum about everything that had happened today. To avoid arousing his suspicion, she made up a reason for going to a café to erase the event of her meeting Timothy.
“Seriously, what’s wrong with Arthur? First, he wanted to be in a relationship with me, and now, he wants to marry me. What benefit will he get if he gets me?” She still couldn’t understand Arthur’s intention now, but she just felt that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Every move he made was calculated.
“Arthur said that he wants to marry you?” When he heard the word, he felt strange all of a sudden, but he realized the reason for what Arthur was doing very quickly.
It had been quite some time that Arthur had been pestering Elspeth. Different from Edmund’s competitiveness and Blake’s jokes, Arthur approached her with an intention that seemed like he had found some benefit that he had desired for a long time from Elspeth.
“Yes. That psycho. I thought that he was a good guy when I first met him, but it turns out that he’s the most
“We still don’t know what Arthur’s intention is. Since he knows the whole truth, he will definitely think of a way to stop you from obtaining the evidence and stop my mom from waking up.” It seems like my concern was right. Arthur is no angel.
“Previously, Lydia’s mother died because Ophelia secretly changed her medicine, which caused her condition to worsen. If you’re free, you should check on your mother’s medicine. Who knows if you might find some problems there? As for her transfer, you need to be careful about Arthur hiding her data. That will affect the transfer formalities. Oh, by the way, remember to rest more. You can change your shift with me. I can look
after Mrs. Winthrop…. Of course, that is if you trust me,” Elspeth blathered all the way, but Callum suddenly kept quiet on the other side of the phone.
“Hello? Is the line bad?” She thought that something was wrong with her line and that Callum didn’t hear what
she said just now.
Sometime later, a sound of cloth rustling came from the other side of the phone.
After being silent for a long time, only then did he ask, “Why are you helping my mom? I remember she treated you badly.”
When she heard that, she was stunned at first, but she took a deep breath and answered with a smile, “Because
she’s your mother.”
That’s your mother. No matter what she did to hurt me, I will still help her because you will be upset without
her. She didn’t say those words, but she knew that he would understand what she tried to imply.
“I want to tell you something, Elspeth.” His tone wasn’t as cold anymore; it had turned serious. “Let’s be together when everything’s over.”
