Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 490

The moment the idea occurred to her, even Elspeth couldn't keep a straight face. Noticing Callum's expression had darkened, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you all right?"

"How can I be all right?" Callum countered as his expression turned thunderous.

If what Helia told them was true, then Elspeth and he might be cousins. The world has gone mad.

"By the way, Elsie, is he your boyfriend?" Helia was overjoyed to reunite with her daughter. She wasn't aware of the situation going on.

Even though Elspeth was having difficulty keeping her emotions from showing on her face, she nodded nevertheless.

"Nice to meet you, young man. What's your name?" At learning the man was her daughter's boyfriend, Helia smiled wildly.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Joneson. I'm Callum Winthrop."

Her smile froze at his introduction. "Did you say 'Winthrop'?"

"That's right, Miss Joneson. I'm the nephew of the man who assaulted you many years ago."

The smile vanished from her face in an instant.

As Callum said, it was years ago. The ripples in her heart at the moment had nothing to do with the anguish of being assaulted many years ago but with the pain to see Elspeth dating such a man.

Even though Callum wasn't the mastermind of the whole thing, Helia still remembered herself being extremely disgusted by the way the Winthrop Family reacted to it.

She couldn't entrust her daughter to a man born in such a family.

Besides, if Elspeth's biological father was the man who assaulted Helia years ago, Elspeth would be Callum's cousin.

"How long have you been together? Which stage of relationship are you in?"

Don't tell me she's pregnant. Helia shifted her gaze to Elspeth's belly. Her daughter had a flat stomach, showing no signs of pregnancy.

Elspeth was both shy and embarrassed at her mother's assumption. "Mom, we haven't reached the home base."

"I'm glad to hear that. Now that you know what happened in the past and that the both of you might be cousins, you need to break up right now. I see no reason for such a ridiculous thing to continue."

Elspeth parted her lips to counter that, but the words got stuck on her tongue as she realized the right words didn't exist.

"What is it? You don't want to break up, do you?"

She shook her head. "It's not about that. I'm just not ready to do it."

Furthermore, Elspeth knew that if she and Callum continued to be together at this point, it would only make the situation very absurd.

She turned to the side and looked at Callum, whose expression mirrored hers. "But now we have a bigger problem."

"I think nothing can be worse than this." Helia tried her best to keep calm and stay strong, so she wouldn't freak out at Elspeth's announcement.

"We are married."

Helia gasped in disbelief. "What? You're married?"
