Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 315
With that thought in mind, Elspeth swiftly switched up what she was going to say. “I’m in a safe ce
right now, so all’s well with me, but the person who’s helping me has asked that I don’t divulge my
location to anyone else. It might cause trouble for him.” Knowing Gilbert’s personality, he would
undoubtedly save her and take her away if she told him the truth, but that would only exacerbate the
situation. Arthur might be pissed off, and it could affect Mom’s treatment.“Is that true?” Gilbert sounded
a little disbelieving.“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Elspeth chuckled lightly.Gilbert huffed at
the recollection of all the lies Elspeth had ever told him. “You’re asking me when you’ve ever lied to
me? Three years ago, you tricked me into bringing toilet paper to you at the public washroom. You
even said no one else was around, but I ended up being called a pervert by a bunch of women. Four
years ago, you dined and dashed but you pushed the me on me—”He was getting even more
agitated with each passing second, so Elspeth quickly apologized. “Sorry! I apologize for everything! I
shouldn’t have done those things. You’re a magnanimous man, aren’t you? Please forgive me. Still, I’m
not lying to you this time.”Had it been at any other point in time, she would’ve acted as if she didn’t
have a clue about what he was saying, but right now, she could hear the ruckus around him.He’s

probably at a bar and there are so many people around him. She would be mortified by the things
Gilbert revealed about her, so she didn’t want to drag this out with him.“Fine. I’ll believe you just this
once.” Gilbert’s anger dissipated.Harper was speechless as he watched them bicker, but he was still
concerned about Elspeth. “When are youing back, Elsie?”Going back…After leaving this time, she
didn’t know whether she could ever return.Elspeth suppressed her mncholic emotions and said with
a chuckle, “It won’t be long before I go back, but I need to stay low for now. I can head back once
everyone has forgotten about this.”Harper didn’tment any further as he knew that Elspeth was a
cautious person. He merely reminded her to take care of herself.“I’ll leave Azure in your hands for now.
Help me keep an eye on Gilbert too. If anything happens, report it to me right away. If he bullies you
again by saying that you’re a snitch, then tell me about it, and I’ll teach him a lesson.”Elspeth’s joking
admonishments annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our
drinks. The women are waiting for us.”“Your girlfriend’s pregnant and waiting for you, yet you’re having
drinks at a nightlife establishment.”“Who said she’s my girlfriend? She’s just someone who drugged me
and got pregnant with my semen. I never imed this child.”Elspeth didn’t think that Gilbert would be
this indifferent.“How hard it must be on your girlfriend who’s all the way in another country…” Elspeth
immediately stopped in her tracks when she realized she had said something she shouldn’t
have.However, even though Elspeth didn’t finish her sentence, Gilbert felt a trace of uneasiness.
“ording to the information I got, she’s currently in the country, so why are you saying that she’s
abroad? Do you know where she is?”“That’s your girlfriend, not mine. Why would it matter to me where
she is? How would I know?”Elspeth quickly deflected and was about to hang up at once, but Gilbert cut
her off with a furious tone. “You’re not allowed to hang up until you clear things up.” Since the cat was
out of the bag, Elspeth had no choice but to exin, “Well, a while back, Elias saved me from the
ocean, right? So, I followed him back to the Coles and found out that Ginna is his fiancée, but I think
she doesn’t like him and has been trying to call off the engagement.”Elspeth’s tone was slightly
sheepish and apologetic.It wasn’t right for her to keep this from Gilbert when she was his friend.She
helped Ginna keep this a secret because she was afraid that this information might affect the couple’s
rtionship, but she never would’ve thought that Gilbert wasn’t interested in Ginna at all. It was merely
Ginna’s one-sided love.There was no answer for quite some time, but Elspeth could sense that things
had gotten quite frosty on the other side of the call.Gilbert was truly infuriated.“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on
purpose.”As soon as Elspeth’s voice got a little louder, she heard footsteps outside her door, so she
quickly hid under the nket and lowered her voice. “That’s all I know. I don’t know anything else,” she
said like an errant child confessing her wrongdoing.“It’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” Gilbert rubbed his
temples. He seemed frustrated.“What do you n on doing now?”Elspeth’s joking admonishments
annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our drinks. The
women are waiting for us.”Elspeth did care about Gilbert, which included his love life. He was a close
friend and they had braved dangers together after all.“I won’t be able to check up on you for the time
being. I need to make a trip to Sunholde.”Elspeth exhaled in relief as she replied understandingly,
“Sure. I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”Gilbert sounded a little hesitant. “Well, you understand, right,
Elspeth? It’s not because I’m concerned…”Naturally, Elspeth knew what he meant and chuckled before
side-stepping the subject.“Hurry up and get on with whatever it is you’re doing. I’ve got something to do
so I’m hanging up now.”She quickly ended the call.Meanwhile, Gilbert fell into a daze as he stood there
with his phone still in hand.A few women came over and caressed his back.“Let’s have a drink, Mr.
Payne.”“Oh, Mr. Payne!”“Scram!” Gilbert, who had been smirking devilishly just moments ago, instantly
blew his top as his temper red up.The women beside him fled in fright.Only Harper knew why Gilbert
was suddenly incensed……Elspeth spent three torturous days living with Arthur.Why was it torturous
for her?This guy’s routine is too ridiculous!Waking up at 5.00AM to go on a run around the vi? What’s
more, he keeps shouting the whole time!Although Arthur’s voice was pleasant to the ears, it was still
too hard for her to ept this habit of his.On the fourth morning, Elspeth heard the stomping sounds
outside again, and finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She dragged herself downstairs, still in her
pajamas and with a messy head of hair.When she saw Arthur leisurely making breakfast, she pointed
at him and demanded, “Arthur Winthrop! Can you stop disrupting my sleep?”Arthur flipped the steak in
the pan and smiled nonchntly. “I’m just keeping to a normal, healthy routine. Don’t tell me there are
people still in bed at 8.00AM.”His mocking pushed Elspeth over the edge as she immediately lunged
over to get physical with him.“Cut it out. Stop making a fuss.” Arthur grabbed her hand. A smile seemed
to sh in his eyes as he looked down. “I need to do somethingter.”“What is it?” Elspeth red at
him.“I’ll be going over to the Jonesons to pick up your mother.”
