Chapter 93
On this arid night, only the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard, but Elspeth could hear her heart pounding as well. Her heart was suddenly beating so quickly because for those words to come out of Callum’s mouth, it meant that he was 100 percent serious about it.
“Okay.”
When Callum heard her answer, he couldn’t react for a second. “Didn’t you say that you will only be with me after I pursue you?”
She smiled. “If I waited for that, I don’t know how many seasons might have changed.”
She supposed he was the kind of man who knew nothing about romance. Previously, she had looked through his past with his first girlfriend, but they were all just mundane memories. They didn’t even kiss.
Hearing that, he felt strange all of a sudden. “So?”
Meanwhile, drowsiness struck her, and she yawned, so she wanted to prepare for bed. “So, let’s sleep. It’s late already. Let’s talk about the rest later.”
Without much warning, she hung up the phone, leaving Callum feeling miserable on the other side of the phone.
On the next day, Elspeth woke up in the early morning, and she wanted to look for Harper to discuss what they were going to do next. However, just as she entered her car and wanted to start the engine, she suddenly found out that her car was out of gas.
This was a rather remote place, so getting a cab was impossible under normal circumstances, but without a car, she couldn’t leave this place.
“Good morning, Miss Lynwood.” Jordan woke up early today too. When he saw her troubled look, he couldn’t
help but smile. “What happened, Miss Lynwood? Are you in trouble?”
“No.” Although she answered ‘no’, he could see everything.
“Has your car run out of gas? It’s okay. I have a few cars, I can lend you one.” He was pretty generous, as he took out a car key from his pocket right away and handed it to her.
Seeing that, she took a step back. “It’s fine. Thank you.” She would need to owe him one if she borrowed his stuff, but she didn’t want anything to do with him at all.
“Don’t worry. I’m not someone who would take advantage of a person in trouble.” When he saw her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “You can take it. Don’t need to return it to me.”
“Why are you here?” After asking that, she suddenly had a bigger doubt. “How do you know I’m here?”
Without any expression, he said calmly, “Hop in. I’ll drive you.”
Yet, she didn’t react immediately as she said blankly, “What?”
“Don’t let me repeat.”
Seeing this scene unfold from the side, Jordan smiled, but with a sense of coldness. “Why do you care so much about Miss Lynwood’s life, Mr. Winthrop? Didn’t you chase her out of your house?”
“I don’t think this has anything to do with you, Mr. Carr.”
At this moment, Elspeth noticed that Callum’s expression was a little disgruntled. To avoid the awkwardness and solve the problem, she quickly entered Callum’s car.
Jordan was smiling, his smile furtive.
In the car, Elspeth was still curious about how Callum knew where she stayed and why he was there to pick her up in the early morning.
Seemingly seeing through her doubts, Callum said calmly. “This villa area is one of the Winthrop Group’s properties.”
