Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 223


    The two of them went upstairs with Theodore and soon, they were greeted by the sight of Margot lying


    in the room, her breathing even as she slept soundly.“After your mother came back, there was nothing


    wrong with her except for the heart attack caused by shock. Look at her. I’ve just tucked her in, and she


    will probably only wake up after a few hours.”Callum visibly rxed upon hearing that. “I’m d. You


    have to let me or Elspeth know immediately if something happens, Dad.”After he said that, he threw a


    nce at Elspeth standing beside him and smilingly praised, “You have a capable daughter-in-


    here and Margot was still resting, he could only lower his voice and say, “Indeed. I’m as grateful for


    Elspeth as much as I am sorry. It’s all my fault. When I found out that your mother was kidnapped and


    rushed to the doctor, I was so out of my head that I forced Callum to break up with you. The two of you


    wouldn’t be in such a mess if it weren’t for me.”Elspeth shook her head. “It’s alright, Mr. Winthrop. I

    know how you feel. If it were me, I would have made the same decision as you.”He sucked in a deep


    breath when he heard that. “Thank you for understanding and thank you for saving her life. If it weren’t


    for you, I wouldn’t even know when I would see her again.”The three of them continued to chat without


    knowing that Margot, who was lying there, had already woken up. When she heard what they were


    talking about, she couldn’t help but open her eyes.“You’re awake!” Theodore eximed in surprise


    when he saw Margot open her eyes. “Why are you up so early? You haven’t even slept for


    long.”Margot immediately scolded, “How dare you tell me to sleep when you know that Elspeth would


    be home?! You don’t want me to see her, do you?”Theodore flushed red at her words. “D-Did


    not!”Seeing him cower, Elspeth covered her mouth andughed.“Elspeth.” Margot stretched out a hand


    and Elspeth hurried over and sat next to her. “Come here. Let me take a good look at you. Why are you


    so much rounder and healthier looking than when you first came to our house? I heard that you and


    Callum broke up. Tell me, did he treat you badly and starve you when you were together? I will beat


    him if that’s so!”She had given her whole heart to this charming and intelligent daughter-inw of hers.


    No one else even mattered to her anymore at this point.“Of course not. Callum and I get along just fine.


    He treats me really well.”Margot’s fierce gaze was on her as soon as Elspeth finished speaking. “Why


    are you still calling him Callum? Don’t you two lovebirds have any intimate nicknames for each


    other?”Elspeth froze upon hearing that. This was beyond herprehension.“Geez!” Margot huffed.


    “You know, something along the lines of babe, honey bunny, cutie pie… Nicknames like that!”Elspeth


    almost choked on her saliva.The corners of her mouth twitched as she stammered, “Aren’t those


    nicknames… a little… too much?”At that point, she was at a loss.Margot patted the back of Elspeth’s


    hand and patiently exined, “Not at all. It’s just right. Isn’t this what young couples do? Theodore


    used to call me baby when we were dating.”She then shot Theodore a re. “Isn’t that


    right?”Theodore’s wrinkly face was flushed out of embarrassment now. However, to not make his wife


    angry, he repeatedly bobbed his head in agreement. “That’s right. That was our nickname back


    then.”Unable to think of a better word to describe her shock, Elspeth could only blurt out, “How avant-


    garde, Mr. Winthrop.” Theodore had never been in such an embarrassing situation in his life and he


    could only tug at his sleeves as he stood there, not knowing what to do.Margot only continued to


    reminisce when she saw his reaction.“You see how he’s behaving now? He looked exactly like this


    back when he went to my father and asked for my hand—”“Okay, okay. That’s enough. Let the


    youngsters solve their problems. You’re not well yet. You should rest.”Theodore quickly stopped her as


    he couldn’t handle hearing more of Margot’s stories.Callum and Elspeth could read the room well.


    Seeing Theodore being on the verge of losing his mind, they tactfully stood up.“Alright, Mrs. Winthrop.


    We’ll be out of your hair. You should rest now. We’lle to see youter.”Margot didn’t stop the


    couple as she felt quite weak. Instead, she grumpily took a nce at Theodore. “Sure, sure. Come see


    me when you’re free.”Elspeth responded with a nod before she tugged Callum along and left at the


    speed of light.When they got downstairs, Elspeth looked at Callum’s face and instantly grew serious


    again. “Let’s go to Arthur next and have him meet Mr. Blue as soon as possible. We might be able to


    persuade him to turn around.”However, she noticed that Callum was distracted after she spoke. “What


    are you thinking about?” She waved her hand in his face.His eyebrows were knitted into a frown. “Babe


    is a little icky, baby sounds somewhat cheap, and cutie pie is a mouthful. Let’s call you Mrs.


    Winthrop.”He’s still stuck on the topic of nicknames after such a long time! Elspeth inwardly sighed as


    she held her forehead.“Let’s not worry about this first. You should think of a way to get Arthur to agree


    to meet up.”“This is important enough to me!”“Callum Winthrop! Stop being such a kid!”He looked calm


    as he refuted, “I’m not. This is an intimate nickname that couples should call each other. You, too,


    shouldn’t call me Callum.”Seeing how unrepentant he was, she dragged him to a corner and held his


    hand. “Babe?” she purred.The tip of the man’s ears turned red.“Baby boy…”His throat


    bobbed.“Hubby!”That was the final straw that prompted Callum to grab Elspeth’s wrists in return and


    press a kiss on her lips.The moment he kissed her, she felt her mind go nk.Her heart thundered


    away when she felt his breath and heartbeat.This level of excitement should be illegal.“Callum… Mmph


    —”His lips devoured hers as he sucked in her taste.Only after a long, long time did he let her


    go.Elspeth felt like she almost ran out of breath. Panting, she red at Callum who had a triumphant


    smile. “Callum Winthrop, you are such a jerk!”He paid no heed to the look in her eyes as he drawled,


    “Weren’t you the one who seduced me first, Mrs. Winthrop?”“I was teasing you, not seducing you!” She


    was about to blow her top because of him.“You standing here is enough to seduce me.”Callum’s voice


    was still slightly raspy after they kissed earlier. Hearing him speak in the seductive way only a mature


    man could immediately made her heart race.What a seducer!“Call me hubby from now on.”There was


    no way she would do as he pleased. She turned the other way and shouted, “No! I won’t do it!”“Call me


    your baby boy, then.”She calmed down after hearing his words.Compared to hubby, this she could


    ept…Hold up. Why does he want me to call him that?She red at him. “I’m going to start the car


    engine. You should inform Mr. Winthrop that we are going out. We will go find Arthur together.”
