Chapter 469 Married Life
The unwarranted jealousy was actually a little nonsensical, but Callum was upset, so Elspeth couldn’t say much about it. She could only endure it while silently complaining about how much it hurt to get bitten by him.
“You’re not allowed to comfort him anymore. Ignore him if he can’t get over it. Just leave him be.”
The look in Callum’s eyes was dark, and it was clearly visible even at night.
“Come on, don’t be so stingy. He’s your brother and my brother-in- law. How can I just stand by and watch as he falls to his ruin?”
Callum’s expression improved ever so slightly when he heard the word ‘in-law’.
“I know you’re his sister-in-law, but you should still maintain some distance from him.”
So what if they were siblings-in-law? They shouldn’t get so close to each other anyway.
“All right, got it. Let’s go back now. It’s getting late, and we should sleep early.”
Callum nodded, then took her hand as they went back to the villa. Lisa and Blake didn’t stay with them, so they left early on.
Notably, when Blake knew that his room was taken by someone else, he couldn’t do anything about it, even if he cried and screamed. He could only allow himself to be dragged away by Lisa as he put on a resentful expression.
On that note, Elspeth suddenly realized something. Blake had always maintained a gentlemanly image, but for some reason, ever since he got together with Lisa, he had turned into a fool, and he was not just any ordinary fool.
Regardless, she didn’t intend to think too much about these things. She just found it amusing that his expressions were gaining variety as time went by.
He had affected Lisa’s mood as well, and she was considerably livelier. This was a good thing, at least.
Early the next morning, Callum woke up and urged Elspeth to go to work. Before this, when Elspeth stayed at the Winthrop Residence, she had a tendency to sleep in.
The two were married, so he didn’t mind it as much as he opened the door to her room straight away. Even though Elspeth spent more time sleeping, her posture was decent as she faced the morning sun. Her sleeping face was bathed in the sunlight.
She looked a little cuter compared to her cold self in the past. Callum subconsciously stepped forward, then bent down and softly kissed the corner of her lips.
Perhaps sensing the subtle kiss, Elspeth instantly opened her eyes. When she saw an enlarged handsome face right in front of her eyes, Elspeth was so startled that she screamed.
“What are you doing?”
Callum also realized that he was being a little reckless, so he looked away awkwardly. He took a few steps back and pretended to tidy the clothes.
“Why did you sneak kisses on me so early in the morning? Also, who let you in my room?”
Elspeth wasn’t completely used to their new identities, and at that moment, she was mad that she was woken up without consent and also a little unsure of what to do.
“So, you feel that with our current relationship, I still cannot do such things?”
Callum saw her being wary of him like she was guarding against a thief, and he felt upset for some reason. Something feels off. Aren’t we officially married?
“Oh, wait, we’re married, right?”
Callum lowered his gaze. “So, you’re aware of that.”
“Sorry, I just couldn’t get used to it for a moment.”
She couldn’t accept the fact that she was someone’s missus. Callum noticed that she might have recognized something off about their relationship as well, and he had other ideas.
“Why don’t we sleep together? Let’s do something married couples should do.”
Something married couples should do would mean…
