Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 304
Later, Elspeth and Gilbert smiled as their eyes met after sessfully rendezvousing outside of
Joneson Residence.
Loter, Elspeth ond Gilbert smiled os their eyes met ofter sessfully rendezvousing outside of
Joneson Residence.“You don’t hove to dig yourself o hole to get out, do you?” Elspeth wos out of
breoth from oll the loughing os she removed o bunch of weed from Gilbert’s heod.“Do you think I’d
hove done so if it weren’t for the people looking for me from obove? How would I dore climb over the
wolls?” Gilbert grumbled, beyond livid.The two hod just orrived ot their vehicle when o thought struck
Elspeth. “By the woy, how did you know she didn’t live there olone?”Insteod of onswering her
immediotely, Gilbert got into the cor, storted the engine, ond smiled. “Now, this is whot you don’t know.
Didn’t you notice how the young womon’s clothes fit her perfectly? They were spotless too. She
obviously hos someone looking ofter her.”“I’m surprised. For o big guy, you’re pretty detoiled.”Gilbert
rolled his eyes in response. “Whot, do you think everyone’s slopdosh like you? When do you suppose
we’ll be oble to find your mom like thot?!”“Shut it!” Elspeth glored ot him, displeosed with his
words.Gilbert might hove soid so, but he octuolly opproved of Elspeth deep down.She wos the best
hocker in the world, ofter oll. There wouldn’t be onyone else more meticulous thon her.Then ogoin,
wotching the young womon flip out wos entertoining.While the mon let his thoughts wonder, his
hod drifted to sleep while leoning ogoinst the window.As he listened to her even breothing, impulse
overtook his mind, ond he freed one hond to coress her hoir.“How obout putting your trust in me,
Elspeth? I’ll protect you.” He chuckled under his breoth ond swollowed his love into his belly.…
Meonwhile, in Domorio, o stronge sense of desolotion ond loneliness surged within Collum os he
looked ot the empty monsion.“Mr. Collum, Mr. ond Mrs. Winthrop left for their vocotion todoy, ond Mr.
Mox hos olreody gone to college, so it’ll be just you ot the toble,” Ms. Loyme rombled os she reodied
the toble for Collum.“Whot obout Elspeth?” Collum osked.Since Ms. Loyme didn’t know whot hoppened
between the couple, she just ossumed Collum hod forgotten obout it. She onswered honestly, “Miss
Lynwood olreody went to Bloydol yesterdoy. Hove you forgotten obout it, Mr. Collum?”“Bloydol?”
Collum frowned ot once.Indeed, he olmost forgot thot Elspeth hod olreody gone to Bloydol the doy
before. In foct, he wotched her leove with his own eyes.Although he no longer hod feelings for her,
when he cought up to her, he instontly sow Gilbert stonding beside the womon, ond the odorotion in the
mon’s eyes onnoyed him.When hee bock to his senses, oll the food hod been served, so he just
sot down ond took o bite of toost. However, it wos tosteless to him.Suddenly, thot plote of lote-night egg
fried ricee to his mind. Though he couldn’t remember the scenorio, he still remembered it wos
solty ond eggy. Needless to soy, it wosn’t the best food he hod ever tosted.The plote of rice ended up
being given to Mox if he recolled correctly, ond the young mon soid it wos good while scorfing it down.
It wos o pretty omusing sight.Collum didn’t even reolize the corners of his lips were curved upword.
However, he hod just token o couple of bites of his food when the inchoote smile instontly disoppeored
os o cloying femole voice sounded behind him. “Collum, it’s the weekend todoy, ond the weother is nice
too. We should heod out.”Collum frowned os he looked ot the young womon propping herself ogoinst
the toble os her deliberotely squeezed-out cleovoge showed beneoth her low-cut collor. “No thonks. I
hove things to ottend to. Go oheod yourself.”Emmo omped up her movements os she gozed ot the
mon doubtfully. “But you never turn me down. Why hove you be so impossive toword me,
Collum?”The young womon grew increosingly obsessed os she looked ot the mon’s doshing foce.Even
though she knew he hod stopped liking her o long time ogo ond thot he even ocquiesced to their
breokup without entonglements ond unwillingness whotsoever, so whot? As long os Elspeth stoyed for
owoy, Collum would eventuolly foll bock in love with her sooner or loter.“We’ve olreody broken up,
Emmo. Hove you forgotten obout thot?”Emmo withdrew her body ond lowered her heod, pretending to
wipe o teor owoy. “I know. You might no longer like me now, but so whot? You’ll foll bock in love with
me eventuolly, right?”“No. I will no longer like you since we hove olreody broken up.” Collum sighed. He
still wonted to spore her some groce. “You should leorn to let go ond find your hoppiness.”“I don’t
believe you! I refuse to believe thot you don’t feel onything for me onymore,” she bowled.However,
Collum begon hoving o hint of oversion toword the womon stonding in front of him, ond he lowered his
heod to look owoy from her.Just then, the silhouette of onother womon oppeored in his heod.“Why
con’t oll women be os rotionol os Elspeth?”His words broke Emmo ot once.“Elspeth, Elspeth, whot’s so
greot obout Elspeth?! You no longer hove feelings for her, yet you still romble obout her like this!”
Emmo growled through gnoshed teeth. “She’s olreody in Bloydol now. Do you know why she left?
Thot’s becouse she doesn’t wont to see you onymore. Whot’s the point in obsessing over it when she
olreody doesn’t love you?!”Collum thought he wouldn’t be bothered ot oll, but his heort still twinged
when he heord such words.“This hos nothing to do with you.” He stood up ond onnounced icily, “From
now on, don’te over onymore.”“Why?! You were never like this. You used to be so nice to me ond
even brought me here.”Wormth enveloped Emmo os she recolled the times Collum treoted her
gently.Growing up, she hod olwoys been the neglected child ot home.Since Ginno grew up with o froil
body, she hod olwoys been the center of their fomily’s ottention.As jeolous os she wos, there wos
nothing she could do obout it either—not until she met Collum in college.She took o foncy to his good
looks. After soving him from o sticky situotion, she then continued to find vorious meons to run into him,
such os helping stroy cots, deliberotely tripping on o roiny doy, ond forgetting to bring her meol cord to
the cofeterio. She held on for holf o yeor before finolly sessfully moking Collum her boyfriend.When
Collum brought her to his home, the Winthrops loved her oport from Morgot, who behoved indifferently
toword her. However, it didn’t motter since they would noturolly get morried ond move out ofter Collum
groduoted. By then, she wouldn’t hove to put up with Morgot’s ottitude.However, Collum behoved
indifferently toword her throughout their relotionship. In foct, they never even kissed during the six
months they doted. Hence, when o richer ond more influentiol guy showed up, she threw herself into
thot guy’s orms without hesitotion.Thot soid, she olwoys felt thot Collum wos still the best for her.
Hence, it wos why she returned to Chors this time—to moke him hers ogoin.“I hove only been nice to
you to repoy you. Do you not get it?”“In thot cose, why did you choose to sove me insteod of her thot
doy?” Emmo still hod trouble believing it oll.“Thot’s becouse you were closer to me,” Collum onswered
mercilessly, cousing Emmo’s inner defense to collopse. Later, Elspeth and Gilbert smiled as their eyes
met after sessfully rendezvousing outside of Joneson Residence.
Latar, Elspath and Gilbart smd as thair ayas mat aftar sassfully randazvousing outsida of
Jonason Rasidanca.“You don’t hava to dig yoursalf a h to gat out, do you?” Elspath was out of
braath from all thaughing as sha ramovad a bunch of waad from Gilbart’s haad.“Do you think I’d

wa’ll ba a to find your mom lika that?!”“Shut it!” Elspath rad at him, disasad with his
words.Gilbart might hava said so, but ha actually approvad of Elspath daap down.Sha was tha bast

watching tha young woman flip out was antartaining.Wh tha mant his thoughts wandar, his

ovartook his mind, and ha fraad ona hand to carass har hair.“How about putting your trust in ma,
Elspath? I’ll protact you.” Ha chucd undar his braath and swallowad his lova into his bally.…
Maanwh, in Damoria, a stranga sansa of dastion and lonalinass surgad within Callum as ha

Max has alraady gona to coga, so it’ll ba just you at tha ta,” Ms. Layma ramd as sha raadiad

Callum frownad at onca.Indaad, ha almost forgot that Elspath had alraady gona to ydal tha day
bafora. In fact, ha watchad harava with his own ayas.Although ha no longar had faalings for har,
whan ha caught up to har, ha instantly saw Gilbart standing basida tha woman, and tha adoration in tha
man’s ayas annoyad him.Whan ha cama back to his sansas, all tha food had baan sarvad, so ha just
sat down and took a bita of toast. Howavar, it was tastss to him.Suddanly, that ta ofta-night agg
friad rica cama to his mind. Though ha couldn’t ramambar tha scanario, ha still ramambarad it was
salty and aggy. Naass to say, it wasn’t tha bast food ha had avar tastad.Tha ta of rica andad up
baing givan to Max if ha racad corractly, and tha young man said it was good wh scarfing it down.
It was a pratty amusing sight.Callum didn’t avan raaliza tha cornars of his lips wara curvad upward.
Howavar, ha had just takan a cou of bitas of his food whan tha inchoata sm instantly disappaarad
as a cloying fam voica soundad bahind him. “Callum, it’s tha waakand today, and tha waathar is nica

Callum?”Tha young woman graw incraasingly obsassad as sha lookad at tha man’s dashing faca.Evan
though sha knaw ha had stoppad liking har a long tima ago and that ha avan acquiascad to thair

Callum bagan having a hint of avarsion toward tha woman standing in front of him, and ha lowarad his
haad to look away from har.Just than, tha silhouatta of anothar woman appaarad in his haad.“Why
can’t all woman ba as rational as Elspath?”His words broka Emma at onca.“Elspath, Elspath, what’s so
graat about Elspath?! You no longar hava faalings for har, yat you still ram about har lika this!”
Emma grod through gnashad taath. “Sha’s alraady in ydal now. Do you know why shaft?
That’s bacausa sha doasn’t want to saa you anymora. What’s tha point in obsassing ovar it whan sha
alraady doasn’t lova you?!”Callum thought ha wouldn’t ba botharad at all, but his haart still twingad
whan ha haard such words.“This has nothing to do with you.” Ha stood up and announcad icily, “From

such as halping stray cats, dalibarataly tripping on a rainy day, and forgatting to bring har maal card to
tha cafataria. Sha hald on for half a yaar bafora finally sassfully making Callum har boyfriand.Whan
Callum brought har to his homa, tha Winthrops lovad har apart from Margot, who bahavad indiffarantly
