Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 443

After some consideration, Elspeth decided not to tell Callum about her mother's death.

For now, it would not cheer him up; it would make him even more troubled.

"In that case, I will not disturb your rest, Mr. Winthrop."

She stood up to leave.

However, she had only taken a few steps before she was hugged from behind.

The warm sensation made her heart skip a beat.

"Don't leave. Stay with me tonight."

He yearned for the warmth of her embrace.

For so very long, he had to constantly pretend he hated her; doing that nearly drove him crazy.

"How about I sleep on your bed tonight while you sleep on the ground?"

She turned around and solemnly looked into his eyes.

He immediately refused the suggestion without hesitation.

"Let's sleep together."

She nearly choked out of shock when she heard that. "No way. Just what are you thinking?"

"I said, let's sleep together on the same bed."

He then continued, "We won't do anything else."

She naturally trusted his character, but this all seemed a little too sudden.

"Why don't I head back? You're getting married tomorrow. It will be bad if they find us sleeping in the same bed tomorrow."

It was only then that he realized he was getting married tomorrow. Immediately, his face darkened.

It was all this damned wedding's fault. If he was not about to get married, he could be sleeping with her in his arms.

At that thought, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. "You should go home."

The frigid look on his face made her grin as she stepped closer to peck him on the cheek. "All right, don't be angry. Look at how unpleasant your face is. You look like an old man."

Before he snapped back to his senses, she let out a loud chuckle before leaping out of the window.

The sight of her lithe form gently sweeping out of view calmed his anxious heart.

Sprawled in front of his window, he watched as she slowly walked away. At that moment, an unexplainable emotion surged in his heart.

…

Early the next morning, the Winthrop Residence was bustling with life.

The faces of Theodore and Margot were full of joy. Their favorite son was finally getting married, which meant something that had been bothering them for a long time was finally resolved.

All of their sons had rushed home for Callum's wedding because they wanted to see him off.

Blake looked so much more energetic than usual in his groomsmen's outfit. When he saw Callum standing nearby with a blank look on his face, he walked over to tap Callum on the shoulder. "Brother, it's your wedding. Why are you not happy?"

"I'm quite happy."

Callum's response was very lukewarm.
