Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 Fish in Troubled Waters

Following a disappointing visit, the butler instructed the men to leave the boxes at the door before departing in despair.

On the other hand, Elspeth thought the issue was over, and the Harley Family would be quiet for a while. Unexpectedly, a few days later, she received a call from Helia. Elspeth had not informed her mother of everything she had learned that day, so she panicked when she received Helia's call. She had a feeling that the matter wasn't as simple as she expected it to be. Moreover, she understood Welson's character well enough to conclude that he could have kidnapped Helia.

"What's wrong, Mom? Are you alright?"

Helia had called to tell her about something interesting that had happened that day, but when she heard her daughter's anxious tone, she realized something was wrong. "I'm fine, but did something happen? Why would you suddenly ask that?"

"Oh… Thank goodness you're fine. Mom, why are you calling?"

Helia had always been concerned that she could cause trouble for Elspeth, who was now married. Hence, she avoided calling her daughter unless necessary.

"Well, this morning, I suddenly received a few parcels, which turned out to be expensive jewelry when I unboxed them." Helia furrowed her brows tight. "I don't have many friends, so I'm calling to ask if you were the one who sent them."

After hearing that, Elspeth immediately knew who the sender was. "Is there anything else besides jewelry?"

After pondering carefully, Helia responded in embarrassment. "Yes, there is a letter, but the content of the letter is pretty… cheesy."

Without a doubt, Welson is the sender. "Don't panic, Mom. Please disregard any doorbell or phone calls you may receive over the next few days."

Helia panicked upon hearing her daughter's advice. "Why? Is someone going to hurt me?" She had become the target of public criticism. Almost everyone in Damoria now knew her identity. She also had a premonition that the news would soon spread to Blaydal. The Jonesons would then find out about her presence and come after her. "Did the Jonesons find out about me already?"

Elspeth shook her head and said, "I've been keeping this under wraps for the time being, so there aren't many people who know about it."

"Who could it be, then?"

Seeing how she couldn't hide the truth any longer, Elspeth reassured her, "Stay home and wait for me. I'm coming now."

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Helia no longer asked through the phone. "Sure. I'll wait for you at home."

Hanging up the phone, Elspeth turned to glance at Callum. "I have to visit my mom."

He nodded and suggested, "I'll come with you."

"Don't worry. I think it's more appropriate that I go alone."

Although she had done her best to explain the situation indirectly to him, he could still sense the embarrassment that Helia might feel. If he was there as a man, her mother might be flustered.
