Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 226
“We are in a rtionship. So, sleeping in the same room shouldn’t be a problem, right?”Elspeth saw a
hint of slyness in Callum’s gaze.Callum still had the same appearance, but the coldness and dignity in
his soul had vanished. The Callum before her was a big ferocious wolf dressed in sheep’s
clothing.“Can we sleep separately, Callum? I’m not quite ready yet.”Not so much prepared as not
prepared at all.Callum’s eyelids did not flutter. A smile gradually crept to his lips as he noticed a sh of
dread on Elspeth’s face.“It’s fine. Everyone has their first time.”How dirty-minded!Elspeth shivered as
she cuddled up on the bed.Kneeling beside her, Callum put his hand beside her to take away the
quilt.The next thing Elspeth knew, Callum, who was usually dignified, was lying on the sofa in a suit,
leaving the bed for her alone.“Let’s sleep.”Elspeth was unable to react in time. She expected Callum to
impose himself on her.“Callum, you’re the epitome of a gentleman.”Elspeth’s eyes were welling up with
tears. The impression he left on her became even more positive.He calmly closed his eyes and said,
“I’m not. I’lle back to bed immediately if you say anything else.”“Don’t! I’ll sleep now.”Elspeth was
terrified and hastily closed her eyes.Elspeth couldn’t sleep after some time. And the consistent
breathing sound by her side surprised her.In a setting like this, he could sleep.“Callum,” she called out
quietly. The sound of breathing faded quickly, followed by Callum’s somewhat scratchy voice.“What is
it? Did you have a nightmare?”“No, I can’t sleep.”Callum was a square. “Keep trying. Count sheep or
something. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy tomorrow.”“I tried, yet I can’t sleep. I’m not sure
why.”In fact, Elspeth knew the reason best. It was most likely because Callum was in the same room
with her, and she felt nervous.She didn’t want to say anything for fear of making him upset.“What
should we do now?”Elspeth pondered for a long time beforeing up with a suggestion. “How about
you tell me a story?”Callum shook his head. “I’m not very good at telling stories.”“When I was a kid and
couldn’t sleep, my dad would tell me stories to soothe me to sleep.”Elspeth felt nostalgic as she
recalled her childhood.“Fine.” Callum scowled and added, “There is a construction schedule for
Damoria this year. The implementation is expected to begin on August 30th. To ensure that no one is
injured—”“Stop! Callum, I’m looking for a story, not a piece of news!”Elspeth felt conflicted as she
gazed at the dark figure not far away.How can a man be so unromantic?“Then tell me what you want to
hear.”Given hisck of experience, Elspeth quickly suggested, “For example, a gentle and sweet story
about small creatures.”Callum couldn’tprehend what Elspeth was saying, so he took out his cell
phone and looked up a story.“Cute Bedtime Stories for Girlfriend…”Callum grimaced as he read the
suggested stories. He took a long time to choose a favorite. “Once upon a time, there was a little prince
who enjoyed eating cherries. The realm was filled with cherry trees, and the cherry fairy resided among
them. The little prince thought that the cherry tree would grow red and sweet fruit, but it did not for a
long time, so the little prince was disappointed. Then a cherry fairy appeared and told the unhappy little

prince, ‘Kiss me, and the cherry will grow.’ As a result, the little prince puckered up and kissed the
cherry fairy. The cherry tree was instantly covered in blushing cherries the moment the cherry fairy
blushed. The cherry fairy whispered coyly, ‘The cherries are already sweet enough, so don’t kiss
again,’ as the little prince puckered up. ‘But you are sweeter than cherries,’ the little prince murmured
while blinking.”Callum’s voice was soothing with distinct hoarseness that drew one in.Elspeth expected
to be so aroused by his voice that she would be too excited to sleep after hearing it. However, what
happened was that she grew so drowsy after hearing his rhythmic voice that she passed out.She had
no idea when she had fallen asleep.The quilt was on her body when she awoke the following morning.
There was no Callum on the sofa.Elspeth started feeling uneasy. Just as she was ready to leave, the
door swung open.It was Callum. His shoulders were slightly damp, and he was holding an umbre
and a bag of shrimp tacos.“Are you awake?” Callum ced the umbre by the door before setting the
meal on the table. “I went out and bought tacos. I believe you will be hungry when you wake
up.”Elspeth nodded. She had only just awoken and hadn’t eaten much the night before, so she was
hungry.At this moment, she felt warm andfortable as if they had been married for many years.The
tacos on the table made her gulp.“What’s the problem? Not a fan of tacos?”Callum scowled
unexpectedly.Elspeth shook her head hurriedly. “No. Of course, I enjoy it. They are my favorite.”After
speaking, she sat at the table and took up the shrimp taco to bite into it. “Mmm! Nice! It tastes fantastic.
You try some.”Callum’s brow furrowed. “I had a cup of coffee outside. I’m not hungry yet. Tacos are not
my favorite. You can have them all.”Elspeth nodded. The itching all over her body caused her to drop
her food and scratch before she could start the second portion.“What’s wrong?”Callum lowered his
gaze to the crimson marks on her arms. He then grimaced. “Do you have a seafood allergy?”Elspeth’s
bangs were drenched in sweat. “Yes… I’m allergic to seafood. However, it is not serious. I should be
fine after a while.”It stings. So itchy…Elspeth was short of breath and felt prickly and unpleasant.“Stop
being stubborn. You should have told me that you have a seafood allergy!” Callum quickly dialed 911
and sent Elspeth downstairs to meet the ambnce.Elspeth huddled in his arms while mumbling, “I’m
fine. Not to mention that you bought them for me, so I have to finish them.”“Don’t be silly! What if you
die?”Callum’s tone suddenly became cold.“If I die, find a beautiful girl to marry and have a child named
Elle Winthrop,” Elspeth added with a smile.She then sighed, “It has a nice ring to it.”Callum was
enraged, and his stare was frigid as he heard her joke. “If you die, Elspeth, I shall smash you to
ashes.”“Yeah. Take my ashes and… What are you talking about? Are you going to smash me,
huh?”This isn’t what you’d expect to see in a novel. Why do you never y by the rules, Callum?
