Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Is Elspeth a ygirl?
Callum answered in his cold voice, “Well, I’m giving priority topany matters. Is there a problem with
that?”
Having been rejected again, Ophelia bit her lip and stayed quiet.
After she left, Elspeth watched her crying figure and could not helpughing. “Are you sure you’re
going to hurt your childhood sweetheart like that? She seems to be crying quite miserably.”
Callum gave her a sideways nce and ordered, “Look at the n.”
Chuckling, she said, “Looks like Edmund was right. You are an inconsiderate workaholic.”
Instead of answering her, he lowered his head and looked at the n. The sun’s rays shone down on
his face, and through the vague reflection, Elspeth could see that his pupils were as deep as the
ckhole.
When the two finished revising their n, it was already 3.00PM and Elspeth’s tummy just happened to
rumble at an inappropriate time. With a raised brow, Callum offered, “Let’s go. We’ll have something
nice.”
They tidied up and coincidentally bumped into Ophelia on their way out of the building before Elspeth
smiled at her.
At this point, Ophelia’s already puffy eyes reddened even more as she ran inside while wiping her
tears. The small incident did not affect their mood as Callum brought Elspeth to a noodle shack he
frequented and ordered two bowls of ramen.
While biting the end of her fork, Elspeth giggled. “I didn’t expect the oldest young master of the
Winthrop Family would enjoy this sort of delicacy.”
Although Callum was slurping noodles, his actions remained elegant as ever. He ate a mouthful of
noodles and asked, “What do you think I eat on a daily basis? Steaks? Caviar? Lobsters?”
“I just didn’t expect that you’d enjoy such hearty meals.” Elspeth’s smile became even more
unrestrained, but she suddenly looked at him with bright eyes while stating, “But… I like them too.
Although I’d eat them almost every day, I still think that no food canpare to the noodles my dad
made.”
Unfortunately, all of that has passed and I can’t return to those days.
Meanwhile, Callum stayed silent and lowered his head to eat his noodles, but his mood was slightly
affected. This was the first time he heard her mention her family; though it was just a brief sentence, he
was still deeply moved.
The two went back to thepany and a colleague patted Elspeth on the shoulder when she was just
about to get off work. “Elspeth, log on to your Twitter. Something happened!”
Feeling her heart sink, she logged onto her Twitter ount and scanned through the contents with
somerge, attention-grabbing words.
‘Elspeth Lynwood acts intimately with a foreign man while being engaged to the Winthrop Family.’
‘Though Elspeth Lynwood looks obedient, she’s actually a ygirl who ys with the Winthrop men’s
feelings.’
‘Having been surrounded by so many men, who will get Elspeth Lynwood in the end?’
…
There was also a blurry picture on Twitter circling around. From it, Elspeth could make out that it was
taken on the day of the auction when Theo was touching her head; they were smiling happily and
seemed very close.
Although they were both wearing sunsses, it was not difficult to make out that the woman in the
picture was herself.
Squinting her eyes, Elspeth felt a cold sensation pass through her. She seemed to know who was
behind all of this, so she immediately called Harper to get rid of those news articles. In the meantime,
she was called home by Theodore.
When she came out of thepany, she just happened to bump into Callum, who was going home as
well. However, he merely nced at her before walking away. It seemed like he had also found out
about the hottest news articles.
Atst, Elspeth returned to the Winthrop Residence under everyone’s presence and was immediately
met with Margot’s lecture. “Elspeth! I thought you were a good kid. I cannot believe that you’re such a
sl*t!”
Frowning, Elspeth did not retort but tried to exin instead, “It’s all just a misunderstanding.”
However, Margot was not having it. “I can understand it if you don’t like any of my sons, but how can
you agree to spend time with my sons while secretly dating another man? Elspeth, do you think you’re
being fair to Theodore?”
Elspeth knew that if she could not exin this situation clearly, perhaps even Theodore would be
disappointed in her.
“Elspeth, all the evidence is crystal clear, so I suggest you admit your doings!” Max had long since
despised Elspeth’s aloof attitude and sneered, “You’d better get out of here as soon as possible.
Maybe, by then, I’ll be the bigger person and forgive you.”
Shaking her head, Elspeth exined again, “It’s not what you guys think. That man is my senior.”
A senior? Who are you kidding?
While staring at her with his cold gaze, Max reprimanded, “Even if he’s your senior, someone who’s
able to interact so intimately with you must be someone close to you, right? Elspeth, things have
already gotten to this point, yet you’re still trying to reason your way out of this.”
Meanwhile, Theodore was frowning with mixed emotions surging within him. He stared at Elspeth and
asked calmly, “Elsie, are they telling the truth? Are you and that man—”
She replied in a deep tone, “Mr. Winthrop, that person is really only a senior to me. I can call him right
now if you don’t believe me.”
At that moment, Margot smirked. “What can you prove by calling him? Wouldn’t you be able to trick
everyone by getting your story straightened out with him?”
Feeling a headacheing, Elspeth felt that it was indeed difficult for her to exin things in such a
situation.
Suddenly, ke, who was scrolling through Twitter, shouted in surprise, “Hey, everyone. Someone just
posted an official statement on Twitter.”
The person was a mix of Edenian and Charsian and he looked just like the person in the pictures.
Subsequently, the post wrote, ‘I am a man with a fiancé and we’re going to get married this June.
Elspeth Lynwood is like a younger sister to me, and caring for her is the task our teacher gave me, so
there is no need to blow this out of proportion. I hope that all of youizens can be kind with your
words and spare the young woman.’
Since Mark had received a lot of grand prizes abroad, he had substantial poprity, so no one dared to
easily refute him. Therefore, the tides suddenly changed and some even began to guess which evil
person would have the time to take the photo and frame Elspeth with baseless usation.
Margot, who was furious earlier, began to calm down and looked at Elspeth’s face while lost in thought.
“Elspeth, I…”
With a satisfied smile on his face, Theodore assured her, “I knew my judgment was correct. Elsie,
you’ve been wronged.”
While nodding her head, Elspeth smiled. “Mr. Winthrop, thank you for believing in me.”
On the other hand, Max felt embarrassed as he tapped his nose while stubbornly saying, “I’m sorry, but
I still don’t like you.”
“I don’t need you to like me, but don’t ever use me of something I didn’t do.” Elspeth threw him a
sideways nce and replied.
He clenched his fists. “Don’t push your luck,dy!”
“Alright, already. Now that this is settled, let’s not pursue it anymore.” Theodore waved his hand to stop
Max from spitting any more hurtful words.
After the crowd had dispersed, Callum was still standing not far away while staring at Elspeth. He had a
strange feeling when he saw her usual calmness andposure while dealing with this matter instead
of crying and making a fuss.
Sensing his gaze, she tilted her head and beamed. “Do you think I have something to do with that
man?”
He remained silent, which in a way meant that he admitted to being bothered by it. However, it was not
to the extent that he truly believed she was such a person.

While looking at his expression, Elspeth shed him a smile, but it did not reach her eyes.
