Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241

Eric’s father, also known as Oil Magnate, was a middle-aged man that Elspeth accidentally saved while running an errand in the past. She just thought that saving a life was the least she could do, but she didn’t expect that the man wanted his son to be her boyfriend.Eric initially threw a tantrum, but when he saw Elspeth’s face, he was instantly smitten. He was even willing to be her husband, let alone her boyfriend.“I think you should just tell your father the truth. We’re not compatible, so there isn’t a chance.”Eric let out a regretful sigh. “You’re right. I suppose we’re not meant to be together. What’s more, the man I’m infatuated with belongs to you. I’m despondent.”Noticing Elspeth’s glare, he kept his mouth shut at once.As usual, Callum brought Elspeth breakfast, but when he saw another man in her room, his face fell instantly.Before Elspeth could explain, Eric had already come up with an excuse. “Mr. Winthrop, I meant to look for you, but I entered the wrong room.”“I heard everything.” Callum pointed at the door. “You didn’t lock it.”Just as Elspeth let out a breath of relief, Callum went on to say, “Mr. Eric, I suggest that you stop using me as an excuse. Both of us are men, so I know what you’re trying to do.”At that moment, Eric’s expression turned awkward.“I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Winthrop.”Callum shot him a dispassionate glance. Eric felt dejected as the other man seemed to have seen through his mind.“Alright, stop playing such guessing games. Aren’t we supposed to head out and have fun today?”Callum had dressed up and brought breakfast with him. To adapt to the environment, he was clad in sportswear, making him look rather athletic.As for Eric, he was wearing his usually flamboyant clothes.“Do you realize that you’re the only one who isn’t ready?”Elspeth took a look at her pajamas and realized that he was right.“I know I’m not ready. Get out now, both of you. I have to get changed.”Eric insisted, “We’re best friends, so there’s nothing I can’t see.”Elspeth said through clenched teeth, “Are you leaving or not?”“Alright, alright.”A crestfallen Eric left the place.Elspeth then shifted her attention to Callum. “Are you going to tell me that since you’re my boyfriend, there’s nothing you can’t see?”Callum gave her a dismissive look. “There’s nothing much to see anyway.”With that, he also stepped out of the room.Elspeth was pleased with Callum’s reaction, thinking that she had found the right man.Just as I expected, Callum wouldn’t… Wait a minute. Did he just say there’s nothing much to see?“Callum!” she roared so loudly that even Eric and Callum could hear her clearly from outside.Eric hunched his back. “How did you offend her, Mr. Winthrop?”Elspeth had always been a calm and collected person; he rarely saw her lose control.Since it was the first time, he found it novel and interesting.“Nothing.” As Callum recalled how enraged Elspeth was, he found her attractive.Soon, Elspeth dressed up and left the room.Without sparing Callum a glance, she said smilingly to Eric, “Let’s go.”There was a gloomy expression on Callum’s face, and it seemed that he had shot himself in the foot.“Elspeth,” he called out calmly. Initially, he thought Elspeth would mock him like she usually did, but much to his surprise, she left the place without responding to him. He thought that the woman would leave the matter behind soon, so he didn’t insist on speaking to her as he followed behind in silence.However, when he saw that Elspeth only bought two bottles of water from a convenience store, he was unsettled. It seemed that she had forgotten about him.“Elspeth.”The woman shot him a look. “Aren’t you a wealthy man, Mr. Winthrop? Don’t tell me you can’t even afford a bottle of water.”Callum strode forward and walked alongside Elspeth. Then, he directly grabbed the water bottle from her and took a sip.After her water bottle was snatched, Elspeth snapped, “How dare you take my stuff? Do you have no shame at all, Mr. Winthrop?”“Your water tastes much better.”Elspeth didn’t expect Callum to be so shameless. As such, she cocked her head to the side and snorted.“Alright, please don’t get mad at me.” Callum made the woman face him and looked gently at her. “If I said I wanted to see you get changed, it’d make me sound licentious.”I did want to see her get changed, Callum thought.“You wanted to see my naked body. You’re a terrible guy!” Elspeth rolled her eyes. Despite that, a part of her heart melted.“Alright, please forgive me. To show how apologetic I am, I’ll pay for everything today.”Hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle.On the other hand, Eric’s eyes sparkled as he asked, “Will you pay for me as well?”“You’ll either pay for yourself or pay for all three of us.”A dejected Eric hung his head low.As they chatted among themselves and ambled forward, they soon reached Waeldestone Abbey, which wasn’t far away from the hotel.Waeldestone Abbey was a well-known spot in the area, and it was said to be the best place to pray for love.It was tiring to walk up the mountain. Eric didn’t have much physical strength, so he soon moaned in exhaustion.Since he didn’t have much strength left, he had no choice but to use a cable car.“It’s not a long distance. Do you even need to use a cable car?” Elspeth sounded scornful.Although Eric was embarrassed, he still looked expectantly at her. “Can you take the cable car with me? I’ll feel lonely if I have to use it on my own.”Naturally, Elspeth wouldn’t want to take the easy path, so she directly turned him down. “Use it on your own. Callum and I aren’t that weak.”Eric drew a deep breath and took the cable car on his own.On the other hand, Callum and Elspeth continued to walk up the mountain.Since the weather was gloomy, not many chose to trek up the mountain. Most of them took cable cars instead.When they were in the middle of the mountain, a gale blew through them all of a sudden. It seemed that it was about to rain.Callum turned to Elspeth and saw that her forehead was beaded with sweat, so he asked, “Are you exhausted? Why don’t you get some rest?”“We’d better hurry up, Callum. It’s going to rain at any moment. We won’t be able to walk when the ground becomes slippery.”Hearing that, Callum stopped persuading her as he hastened his pace.Just then, a clap of thunder was heard from the sky. It seemed that it was about to rain soon.When they were 300 feet away from the peak, Elspeth noticed some rocks in the distance.However, her expression changed drastically as she took a closer look.“Callum!”When Callum turned to her and saw that she was alarmed, he became vigilant at once. “What’s wrong?”“Look!”Looking in the direction she pointed, Callum instantly saw that those originally unmoving rocks started rolling down the trail all of a sudden.
