Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 274

Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked up and realized there was a long line of people waiting to pass them their gifts, and there was no end in sight. Meanwhile, the people who had presented the gifts already disappeared into the crowd.

She asked the butler beside her anxiously, “Mr. Wade, do you remember who passed us this gift?”

Craig Wade was startled for a moment. The box looked special, so he remembered who gave them the gift. “It was from a lady in her forties who had a veil over her face. Why are you asking about it—”

Before he could finish his words, Elspeth stood up straight and lifted the hem of her gown. Then, she dashed out of the place.

When everyone saw Elspeth running away, they were shocked.

Even Callum, who had always been calm and collected, turned gloomy.

“What is Elspeth doing, Callum? She looks like she’s running away from all this.” Max was astounded by Elspeth’s action.

Callum felt his chest tightening as a sense of unease rose within him.

“We have to trust her. Let’s wait for her return.”

It was their engagement day, so Elspeth must be fully aware of the matter’s seriousness. Since she still decided to go somewhere else, she must have her reasons for doing so.

“Why don’t you run after her? I’m worried she’ll fall into danger.” Max frowned, riddled with anxiety.

Callum nodded and pulled his tie before racing after the woman.

Seeing that, everyone at the venue was astonished. What’s going on?

The stars of the engagement party subsequently left the place. Have they been fooling us just to get our gifts?

Many of them started speculating and whispering among themselves.

Left with no choice, Yelena and Max could only face the pressure and appease everyone. At the same time, they prayed that Elspeth and Callum would come back sooner.

…

Meanwhile, after Elspeth left the place, she realized that the gift’s owner was nowhere in sight.

Disappointed, she turned around and was ready to return to the engagement party. All of a sudden, someone called out to her from behind.

“It seems that your mother is truly important to you, which is why you left the venue in a dazed state.”

Elspeth felt her back stiffen. She turned around and stared at Arthur. All of a sudden, she had a premonition.

Arthur never appeared again after Eric taught him a lesson previously.

Elspeth initially thought that he had learned his lesson, so she was surprised to realize that he had discovered one of her weaknesses.

“What are you trying to say?”

“Haven’t you been curious about your mother’s condition? I’m here to give you a clue.”

Arthur smiled faintly. If Elspeth hadn’t seen him acting ruthlessly before, she would’ve thought that he was a pushover.

“What is the clue?”

Arthur spread his hands. “Haven’t I already given it to you? I tried very hard to get the necklace. Doesn’t it belong to your mother?”

Elspeth balled up her fists, but she never let her emotions show on her face. With a grim expression, she questioned, “Where did you get this necklace?”

“Well… Haha. It took me a lot of effort to get it. Do you want to know?”

“Stop keeping me on tenterhooks.” Elspeth cracked her knuckles as though trying to threaten him. “Tell me straight away if you’re tactful. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh on you.”

Instead of getting frightened, Arthur laughed arrogantly. “Come on, then. If you dare beat me up, you’ll never find any information about your mother.”

Arthur was confident that Elspeth wouldn’t dare to make a move on him, so he was at ease.
