Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 426

Hank stretched out his right hand and lightly knocked her on the head.

"And here I was thinking that you're not very bright. I'm surprised by how quickly you got it right.

"Okay, I'm going home." After she looked at the clean clothes on her body, Yelena began to sit up when a fragment of memory suddenly flashed in her mind.

Why do I remember puking all over myself last night?

And why do I have clean clothes on now?

Considering how she could recall this, she was sure it wasn't a dream.

All of a sudden, she picked up a strange smell. She had to take a proper whiff before she realized how the fragrance from the shirt that she had on wasn't that of her laundry detergent.

"Did you take off my clothes?" she gasped.

How dare she say something so nasty! Hank's expression was completely dark when he heard that, but he continued to patiently explain the situation to her, lest she thought he was some kind of evil thug.

"It wasn't me. The part-time maid changed you out of your clothes."

Yelena was the one who undressed and went to bed last night. Fine, he did see something.

But he didn't do anything to her. Instead, he washed her clothes and dried them. When the part-time maid came to clean this morning, he told her to help Yelena get dressed so that she wouldn't accidentally expose herself after waking up.

Yelena, who was surprisingly a deep sleeper, slept through the whole ordeal.

After hearing his explanation, she realized how she had been rude earlier. She was just about to apologize to him when her phone next to her pillow began to ring.

"Elspeth, what's the matter?" She won't beat me up if she knew that I spent the night at Hank's, will she?

"Where are you now?"

Elspeth didn't sound any more worked up than her usual self.

Suddenly feeling anxious, Yelena stuttered and came up with a lie.

"I'm at home! I just woke up. What's up?"

"Home?" Elspeth asked with a frown.

She knew that Yelena would usually have just woken up around this time.

How could she have gotten home from Hank's place already?

Yelena sucked in a deep breath and continued to lie. "Yes, yes. I'm at home. You know I sleep longer hours." Ugh, I'm lying through my teeth!

When Elspeth suddenly realized that Yelena was lying to her, she lowered her voice and threateningly asked, "You're even lying to me?! Do you really think I don't know about you being at Hank's house?"

Yelena immediately knew that she had made a stupid mistake.

"Elspeth!" She started to beg for mercy as she mumbled, "I was wrong! I won't lie again!"

"That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Yelena glanced at Hank who lay near her with a playful smile on his face, and she shook her head. "Nope. Nothing happened between us."

Just as Hank was about to say something, Yelena threw him a vicious glare and softly pleaded with Elspeth, "Elspeth, you must never tell my father about me staying at Hank's house last night. If he calls to ask you why I wasn't home, tell him that I stayed at your place."

Elspeth could feel a headache coming on when she heard that.

Of course, she knew what to do. Francis Sullivan, who was Yelena's father, had already called her early this morning to ask about the situation. That was exactly how she lied to him.

"Fine. I understand. Quickly head home if there's nothing else. I have to go to work in a bit. I can't keep worrying about you."

"Don't worry! I'll head home soon."
