Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 439

When she saw how surprised Gilbert looked, her heart beat faster. "I'm fine."

"Thank goodness you are. I was so scared that Elspeth would get upset with me for not taking care of you."

He had been in charge of the bar all this while. If Elspeth's precious sister was neglected, he would be done for.

Isabel felt disappointed after hearing what he said. It turned out that he was concerned about her because of Elspeth, whereas she thought he had other intentions.

Seeing the change on her face, Gilbert assumed she recalled her previous bad experiences, so he quickly comforted her, "Don't worry. You will be Elspeth's sister soon. You're a precious charm, you know? No one will dare to bully you. Otherwise, you can tell them that you're acquainted with me. I'll be able to ensure your safety."

Isabel could tell that all Gilbert cared about was Elspeth, seeing how he repeatedly mentioned her name. The affectionate feeling that she felt for him earlier was instantly shattered into pieces.

However, she wouldn't take anything that belonged to Elspeth, including her feelings.

"I know. Thanks, Gilbert."

With a smile, she thanked him softly.

Elspeth and Gilbert… sound like a good match, Gilbert mused. His affection for Isabel instantly increased a little.

"Come on. Let me take you to dinner. You must be hungry after staying for so long."

Isabel accepted his kindness without hesitation. "Sure. Thanks, Gilbert."

Gilbert sent a text to Elspeth to inform her that he would be taking Isabel for lunch. After that, he left the sanatorium with Isabel.

…

Eventually, Elspeth decided to send Helena's corpse to Joneson Residence. To be able to return to Joneson Residence should be what Helena wanted the most.

Elspeth entrusted Gilbert to take care of Isabel for a few days while she brought the body to Blaydal. At the entrance, Elspeth knocked on Joneson Residence's door.

Michael nearly fainted after discovering the news, so it was Frank who came to pick Elspeth up as he sent someone else to take over the corpse.

When the two met, Frank noticed traces of weariness and fatigue on Elspeth's face. He couldn't help feeling bad for her. "Have you been doing well?"

She was indeed thin since young, but when he met her this time, he noticed she had lost weight again.

Fronk smiled. "Sure. Come with me."

While the two shuffled through Joneson Residence, they bumped into mony people in the house. All of them hod their heods lowered, not doring to speok.

She was indeed thin since young, but when he met her this time, he noticed she had lost weight again.

He knew that he had just asked a dumb question because anyone sensible could tell how much she had suffered.

"I'm fine." Elspeth offered him a smile, but her voice sounded thin and spiritless.

"I know Aunt Helena's death has taken a toll on you. Just cry if you're sad. It's okay. I won't laugh at you." Frank could tell she was suppressing her feelings, so he persuaded her awkwardly.

"I already cried a lot. I think it's enough." Elspeth chuckled and flicked his head. "Do I look that fragile?"

He rolled his eyes. "I was simply trying to console you. Why'd you have to flick my head? What a heartless woman."
