Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

A long while had passed, and Callum began sensing something wasn’t right when Elspeth still hadn’t surfaced from the water.

By right, the young woman wouldn’t pull such jokes on him, especially in deep waters and late at night.

The rowboat had already taken them to the center of the lake at this point, and the crew at the shore couldn’t even see them, so shouting for help wouldn’t do much at all.

Their only way of communicating with the crew would be through the video cameras around them. With that, Callum waved at them to draw the crew’s attention.

Meanwhile, at the shore, excitement surrounded the crew as they shied away from Elspeth and Callum’s passionate kiss. Amongst everyone, Yelena probably reacted the most dramatically to the scene as she gushed, “Oh, sweet baby Jesus! No, they’re so sweet together! Ah, I can’t take it anymore! Calysie forever!”

Contrasting to Yelena’s excitement was Eric’s sadness as a hint of frustration flashed across his eyes when he saw the two leaning in each other’s arms.

Max, on the other hand, patted Yelena’s head and said, “Keep it together, will you? You’re still a girl.”

“Why should I? It’s not like I don’t get to experience this. Blake and I have a kissing scene too!”

Max instantly turned grim, recollecting the fact that Yelena and his brother indeed had a kiss scene. “Will that be your first kiss?”

“Yeah, it’ll be my first on-screen kiss. I guess it will have to be Blake’s—hey!”

The young man yanked Yelena to him and attacked her lips before she could even finish her sentence.

“What the heck, Winthrop?!” Panic enveloped her face as she wiped her lips.

“I’m just preparing you to kiss a guy in case you get all shy in front of the camera.”

Max bulled so justifiably that Yelena couldn’t do anything despite feeling exasperated. “Well, since you’ve already kissed me, will you be my boyfriend?”

“We’ll see,” said the young man, cool as a cucumber. She was livid as she wanted nothing more than to mangle him.

Suddenly, Aiden shrieked, stopping the two from arguing further. “What is it?” they asked as they approached the director, who quirked his lips as he looked at the blank monitor screen. “Now what? The camera’s dead. Who knows if we can salvage the shot just now?”

“Well, I guess we can only reshoot.” Yelena spread her arms out with resignation. “Besides, scenes like these aren’t difficult to shoot, and I get to ship my couple a few more times.”

Just then, Eric lifted his head. “Should we tell them to come back, then?”

“One can destroy everything but marriage.” The young woman rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not like they’ll get lost. Why ruin their moment when it’s such a perfect chance for a date?”

At that, Eric nodded gloomily, saying no more. However, he still snuck away, put a lifejacket on, and drove a boat toward the couple.

They’re not getting their chances, not on my watch!

Back at the center of the lake, Callum knew the cameras were likely broken when zaps came from inside of them.

Elspeth was last seen about a foot away from the rowboat. Callum gritted his teeth, removed his jacket and shoes, and jumped straight into the water.

However, there was no one there.

Could Elspeth have sunken to the bottom of the lake?

Callum wasn’t an expert swimmer, and he had difficulty diving further down the lake. In fact, his limbs began feeling numb when he went three feet down the water.
