Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320

Elspeth only allowed herself half an hour to cry over this.

During this time, she tried everything and after collecting all the memories related to her and Callum, she buried them deep inside her heart.

Now, the most important thing for her was not to get hung up over relationships. She still had to save her mother, so she could let herself fall like this.

Picking herself up, she called Elias.

In the process of the call, she kept rubbing her fingers against the phone, revealing just how nervous she was.

Finally, the call connected. Elspeth snapped back to reality and said, "Elias?"

Nobody responded for a while, making Elspeth think she had dialed the wrong number' when a familiar yet alien voice spoke.

"Hello. Elspeth."

Edmund?!

Startled, Elspeth changed what she wanted to say.

"Why are you on Elias' phone? Where's Elias?"

Turning around to see Elias, who was in the bathroom showering, Edmund answered, "He's in the shower. Do you have something to tell him?"

Hesitating, Elspeth still asked, "Are you alright?"

This made Edmund chuckle. Although Elspeth could not see his smile, she could still imagine his bright smile.

"If you ask me that, I'll mistake it as you still wanting to many me."

Blushing, Elspeth replied, "Nonsense."

"Okay, I'll stop teasing you."

Elias acted as if nothing happened between them, for it was like they were still colleagues in the company that helped each other strategize.

This relieved Elspeth.

"So, why did you call him? Couldn't you call me instead?"

The questions left her speechless.

After all, Edmund was one of the Coles, so he would know this eventually.

Not planning to hide it from him, she answered, "It's nothing. I just wanted to call Elias to borrow his freight ship."

As a smart individual, Edmund immediately guessed her reason.

"You want to smuggle yourself out, right?'

Elspeth knew that she would not be able to hide it from him, as she nodded. "Yes. I need to go abroad."

Suddenly, Edmund changed his tone to a teasing one.

"Sadly, he doesn't have the authority to order the freight ships around. You've barked up the wrong tree."

Even though she had predicted her being rejected, Elspeth was still disappointed. Yet, she knew that helping another was out of kindness, not obligation, so she understood tliat the Cole Family was not obligated to help her with anything.

"Okay then. I'll stop bothering you. You don't need to tell Elias this. Let's end this here."

After stating that, Elspeth wanted to hang up.

"The person that has that authority is me."

Edmund's words made Elspeth freeze up.

She felt her fingers tremble, as she nearly ended the call.

"But I want you to help me in return. I have a condition. After all, I should be compensated for helping you do such a humiliating thing, shouldn't I?"

Actually, she had guessed that Edmund would propose a condition.

Biting her lips, Elspeth replied, "Say it. What can I do for you?"
