Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 425

Callum couldn't help thinking there was a hidden meaning behind Elspeth's words.

However, Elspeth clearly didn't want to waste time on them. She couldn't stop the frown from showing up on her face when she saw Max standing there in a daze with no intention of leaving.

Right then, Callum strode over to stand beside Max. "Come home with me, Max," he instructed.

Max first nodded, only to shake his head the next moment. He looked extremely pitiful and heart-wrenching.

"Can I see her one more time?"

Hearing that, Elspeth finally agreed to it as she couldn't bear to watch him.

What's more, she was a little worried that an 'accident' would happen to the drunk Yelena at Hank's place.

After thinking about it, she took out her phone and gave Hank a call.

According to Max's description earlier, Elspeth probably wouldn't be able to call Yelena on her phone. That was why she would rather call Hank straightaway.

The phone only rang twice before the call went through.

"Hank, are you with Yelena?"

Hank was surprised by Elspeth calling him, but he nodded and replied, "That's right. She had one too many and puked all over herself. I brought her home and cleaned her up for now."

Elspeth's imagination began to run wild at those words.

"Don't tell me you helped her wash."

Hank started laughing out loud upon hearing that. Even Max, who was beside Elspeth, slightly lifted his head, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"That, I didn't."

Elspeth asked again, "Is she asleep now?"

Hank hummed as he looked at Yelena snoring away in bed. "She went to bed and fell asleep right after she took a shower herself."

"Take good care of her, then." Elspeth sighed. Hank probably won't lie.

"Of course." It was a given that he wouldn't be careless about that.

Knowing that Yelena was safe, Elspeth was at ease when she ended the call.

However, when she looked at Max, she noticed that he looked more torn than before. "Yelena is asleep. You should save the rest for tomorrow."

Max only clenched his right fist tight. He seemed to want to say something, but he quickly swallowed his words.

Turning around, he had a worn-out smile on his face. "It's late. I won't disturb your sleep anymore, Miss Elspeth. Callum, let's go home."

Callum said nothing. He only nodded and turned the other way to walk to his car.

Max also followed after him after he gave Elspeth a deep bow.

Max sat in the passenger seat and he kept his head tilted to look at the night view outside the window.

"Callum… Why do you think things turned out this way?"

Callum kept his eyes on the road when he stated, "You only have yourself to blame."

I only have myself to blame… Max suddenly let out a sad smile.

He still remembered the day he and Yelena met for the first time, and how she relentlessly and persistently pursued him afterward.

Initially, he wasn't interested in the young lady whom he saved. However, she was like a sun that lit up his world and before long, he had fallen in love with her.

He didn't have the best of tempers, but he was serious about his feelings for her.

From having a short fuse, he slowly learned to love all because of how Yelena inspired him.

However, it was this exact woman whom he had loved for two years who took off from his life abruptly. And there was nothing he could do about it.
