Chapter 333


    iling her fists at him again and again, Elspeth protested, “Let go of me, Callum! I told you that I have


    my own business—”


    Callum ignored her vigorous protests, though. Walking straight up the stairs, he said without the


    slightest change in his countenance, “I already made a deal with your boss, so you only have to serve


    me this month.”


    “You jerk!”


    Elspeth struggled to free herself from his embrace, only to be pressed firmly to his chest again by his


    large hand. A faint scent greeted her; it was the scent of the perfume he often used.


    “Either you be quiet and go upstairs with me, or I’ll knock you out and carry you upstairs. It’s up to you.”


    Uh, the former sounds more reasonable, thought Elspeth. With that, she immediately quieted down,


    nestling in his arms like a good girl.


    Carrying her all the way upstairs to the third floor, Callum turned to the room on the far left, pushing the


    door open to reveal a luxuriously furnished room. Then, he mercilessly flung her onto the bed, causing


    her to be enveloped at once by its softness.


    Elspeth knew the room only too well. It was a VIP room, avable only to those spending at least


    150,000. She asked sourly, “Why are you so familiar with this ce? Could you be a regr here?”


    Instead of answering her questions, the man simply tossed a towel onto her. “Go wash your face. I’ve


    got some clothes prepared for you in the bathroom.”


    Elspeth felt somewhat irritable as she watched him standing aside, ordering her around. “Why do I


    have to?”


    Callum replied, “Because I don’t want to see you standing in front of me in such clothing with such


    makeup on.” For some reason, it irked him to see her dressed scantily with heavy makeup on.


    “You’re so fussy.”


    Callum silenced her with a sideways re. “If you won’t take a shower, I’ll bathe you instead,” he said.


    Then, seeing that she was still standing there in a daze without moving, he bent down at once,


    touching her with his right foot while caressing her face with his fingers. “Are you gonna take a shower


    or not?”


    Elspeth was reluctant, but she feared that he would really drag her into the bathroom and bathe her


    himself. Having no alternative, she had no choice but to push him away. Then, she grabbed the towel


    and entered the bathroom.


    Callum stood outside listening to the sound of the shower from the bathroom. Looking at the signs of a


    struggle on the bed, he went into a meditative mood.


    Elspeth removed all traces of makeup from her face beforeing out wrapped only in a bath towel.


    The instant she came out, a dark glint flitted across Callum’s eyes.


    Having just emerged from a shower, thedy looked refreshingly beautiful, and her skin was incredibly


    tender. Toweling her hair, which was still dripping at the tips, she asked with a frown, “Where are the


    clothes you prepared for me? I didn’t see them.”


    Callum’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as his eyes rested upon her without him knowing. “I


    ordered my assistant to pick them up, but he probably has yet toe back.”


    Elspeth hadn’t a clue that she was like a little white rabbit throwing itself into the jaws of a predator right


    now. Her exposed skin was fair, tender, and smooth, the temptation of which no normal man could


    withstand, let alone Callum, who had repressed his feelings for a long time.


    As he stepped closer and closer toward her, she finally detected a hint of danger. Something is very


    wrong with Callum right now. She took a few steps backward, keeping a safe distance between them


    as much as possible. “Callum, how about you get out for now? I think it’s quite inconvenient for the two


    of us to be alone. Men and women aren’t supposed to get too close together, you know.”


    Her suggestion was merely a joke to Callum, though. “Men and women aren’t supposed to get too


    close together when they’re unrted, but we are a couple.” He had never been as seductively


    charming as he was today; his deep voice was dripping with lust.


    Elspeth gulped. “We’re not a couple.”


    Callum was already sick of hearing this. Stepping forward directly, he lifted her chin with his hand.


    “You’d never know until you’ve tried.”


    The next second, Elspeth’s eyes popped in disbelief at the gentle touch on her lips.


    The man’s lips were tender, but they pressed very hard against hers as if to punish her for being


    disobedient. Then, he lifted the tip of her tongue with his, nibbling at it carefully for a long time before


    ending the kiss by fiercely biting her lips.


    It wasn’t like they had never kissed before, but Callum had never kissed her so savagely as he did


    today. As a result, Elspeth was out of breath from the kiss. As soon as he stopped, she immediately


    shoved him away. “What are you doing, Callum?!”


    Contrary to her, Callum was unusually calm; he looked at her swollen lips with his eyes full of


    amusement. “Nothing. I was just doing what a normal couple does, no?”


    Elspeth was getting mad again at first, but she was stunned the instant she met his gaze. His eyes


    were no longer as emotionless as before as he stared at her. Instead, they betrayed a hint of profound


    tenderness, which was familiar and yet far in the past.


    Could he have…


    Elspeth couldn’t describe how she felt. She only felt weak all over, as though her whole body had


    loosened up after she hadpleted a lifelong mission at longst. She slumped onto the bed, unable


    to calm down for a long time. Time seemed to stop. After what seemed like an eternity, she slowly


    asked, “You recalled everything, didn’t you?”

    Unable to evade the question, the man had no choice but to answer honestly, “I did.”


    Elspeth looked at him calmly. “Did that happen today?”


    Callum’s eyes were slightly cold. “No.”


    “When was it, then?” Elspeth asked. All of a sudden, she had the feeling that she had been taken for a


    ride. It was Callum who had said himself that he didn’t love her, but now that he had regained his


    memories, he actually kept this a secret in order to make fun of her.


    “Yesterday.”


    Callum fell silent; he didn’t know how to exin himself either. The instant Elspeth showed up at the


    door yesterday, all his emotional memories came flooding back to him. Seeing how she tried to be all


    things to all people, he was instantly overwhelmed with rage, so he kept this to himself and got in her


    way on purpose.


    Elspeth let out a helplessugh. “You’ve regained your memories yesterday, but only now are you


    willing to say this?!” She only felt overwhelmingly aggrieved. At this very moment, all the resentment


    she had been suppressing inside her red all of a sudden.


    “Sorry,” Callum said. He was willing to apologize, not only because he had recalled everything in the


    past but also because he recalled how he had treated her previously. Putting himself in Elspeth’s


    shoes, he thought he would probably have lost his heartpletely if it were him. Because of that, he


    was totally unsurprised by her reaction right now.


    “What’s the use of apologizing?!” Elspeth suddenly flung the towel with which she had been toweling


    her hair dry at him. She swore angrily, “So what if you’ve regained your memories now? The two of us


    are through!”


    Callum took a step forward and sped her tightly in his arms. “I know. It was my fault previously for


    forgetting about our rtionship, but that wasn’t what I intended at first.”


    Tears sprang to Elspeth’s eyes. “Callum, do you know how hurtful you were previously?” she asked,


    pouring out her grievances as her eyes reddened.


    Callum lowered his eyes with a pained look in them. “I know. I know.”
