Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

“Elspeth and I saw with our own eyes you acting intimately with another woman. Besides, when Elspeth was hospitalized, how often did you visit her? Even Max said that the new design director went to look for trouble in the name of visiting Elspeth. It seems like you’re pretty close with the woman now, eh?”

Callum had a very cold aura about him. “It’s not like what you guys saw.”

“I don’t care if it is or isn’t. All I know is that Elspeth needs me now, and you’ll only make her unhappy.” Snorting, Blake continued, “This time, Elspeth sent a message for help to me first. One day, I will be the one who resides in her heart, not you.”

Although his words seemed a bit childish, Blake meant every single word he uttered.

Callum knew it would be pointless to argue any further, so he gave up after seeing how smug Blake was acting. He stood up and left the ward.

Coming back with water in her hand, Elspeth saw that Callum was gone and asked, “Did he leave already?”

With a nonchalant expression, Blake replied, “He left. He felt ashamed due to my words and left.”

“Okay then. Don’t get out of bed for these few days. Just rest up. I’ll take care of you until you’re healed.”

He was shocked at her statement. “You mean, you want to keep taking care of me? Don’t you have to work?”

The word ‘work’ made Elspeth feel bitter inside.

Yet, she had to put up a strong facade. “It’s fine. I don’t have a job now, anyway. The design director has been replaced, so I have the time and energy to take care of you.”

“I knew that Callum couldn’t be relied on.”

Clenching his teeth, Blake knew that he must not let go of this chance.

“Just treat these few days as a vacation then. Oh right, since you’re jobless now, I have a proposal for you. Do you want to hear me out?”

Elspeth, upon hearing his words, suppressed her sadness. “What proposal?”

With smiling eyes, Blake stated, “Coincidentally, my manager seems to have a bit of a problem with her family, so she took a month off. How about you take her spot as my temporary manager for now?”

Manager? Elspeth was stunned. Even though she managed an entertainment company, she had not tried her hand at being a manager of a celebrity before.

Yet, Blake was being very Insistent. “Since you’re already taking care of me for these few days, it won’t be much to ask for you to continue doing so for a few more weeks, right? Oh, my great Miss Lynwood, you’re the best. Just look at my injuries. Ouch, it hurts so much! Could you bear to see me going to the set alone?”

Although he tried very hard, no tears were coming out of his eyes.

All this made Elspeth cover her forehead with her hand. “I’ll find someone more suited for you.”

“I don’t want to. Who would want to be a temporary manager for only one month? Besides, with my identity, any Tom, Dick, and Harry wouldn’t be able to cope either

He almost wanted to beg her by holding onto her arm and swinging it.

Seeing this, she nodded helplessly. “Fine, fine. I’ll agree to become your manager. But you’ll have to rest up and quickly get discharged.”

“Sweet!”

When Elspeth was taking care of Blake these few days, Callum never came to the hospital.

Instead, it was Arthur who would pop in from time to time. Blake, who did not know what his real motives were, still thought that Arthur was the same gentle and quiet brother of his.

One day, Elspeth was out. Arthur used following up on Blake’s condition as an excuse to chat with him.

“Do you know that Ophelia is dead?”

Although Blake had roughly predicted this, it still made his heart skip a beat. “What can I say? Ophelia deserved it. She tried to frame Elspeth repeatedly and even went for her life. These kinds of people are a menace to society.”

Recalling what Ophelia did to Elspeth enraged him.

“You seem to care a lot about Elspeth. Don’t tell me you really fancy her?”
