Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 75


    Chapter 75 Drugged


    “Callum, Ophelia only came here out of filial duty. The years I spent doting on her when she was little


    weren’t in vain, after all.” Margot shot a re at Callum before taking Ophelia’s hand and patting it.


    “Look how nice Ophelia is. Now she’s not only obedient but also sensible and gracious. Why don’t you


    reconsider going out with her—”


    “What are you talking about, Mrs. Winthrop?” Ophelia blushed shyly while giving Margot a light push.


    Callum didn’t say anything in reply, but his silence already spoke volumes.


    Seeing that the man didn’t respond at all, Ophelia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She retracted her


    hands, saying, “Mrs. Winthrop, now that Callum doesn’t like me, let’s not force him into it. It’ll make it


    sound like I’m threatening him.”


    “What nonsense are you talking about, Ophelia? Your engagement to Callum was decided by your


    mother and me when you two were little. Moreover, you two grew up together, so how can he possibly


    have no feelings for you?” Margot said in a gentle voice,forting Ophelia for fear that she might be


    hurt by Callum’s attitude.

    Callum replied at once, “I already have someone I love.”


    Elspeth was startled, and her fork froze in midair with a meatball on it.


    “You already have someone you like? Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s Elspeth?”


    Callum nodded. “That’s right. It’s her.”


    Ophelia forced a smile. “Oh… Is that so?”


    “You can’t love her,” Margot blurted out subconsciously.


    Baffled, Callum turned to look at her with a puzzled expression. “Why?”


    “Because I said you can’t. Callum, even if you have no feelings for Ophelia, you can’t love Elspeth,”


    Margot said solemnly as though there were some dark secret behind this.


    The instant she said so, everyone at the scene fell silent. Having no appetite for dinner, they hastily


    finished their meal before returning to their respective bedrooms.


    Since it was gettingte, Ophelia decided to stay at the Winthrop Residence for the night before leaving


    tomorrow.


    It waste at night when Margot came to Callum’s room with a ss of warm milk in her hand. After


    knocking on the door, she pushed it open and came in. “Callum, I have something to talk to you about,”


    she said softly while putting the ss of milk on his desk.


    Callum seemed to have predicted what she was going to say. He asked, “What do you want to say?”


    “It’s not that I’m not allowing you to go out with Elspeth. It’s mainly because… Sigh!” She let out a deep


    sigh as her thoughts wandered. “You know what? Your dad had a first love when he was young—”


    “What does this have to do with Elspeth?”


    Seeing Callum’s puzzlement, Margot exined, “His first love was Elspeth’s mother! Do you know that


    the woman you love is probably your half-sister who shares a father with you?”


    Callum found such words ridiculous. “Impossible!”


    Margot sneered. “Why is that impossible? Elspeth is just as stubborn as your dad. You know what?


    Your dad disappeared for six months when I was pregnant with ke. Nobody knows what happened


    during those six months. Now, look at Elspeth. Isn’t she the same age as ke?!”


    This was so ridiculous that Callum simply couldn’t believe all this. “Still, you can’t prove that Elspeth is


    Dad’s illegitimate daughter.”


    Margot replied with a sob in her voice, “I didn’t know your dad was in love with an unattainable woman


    until half a year into our marriage. I was already pregnant with you at the time, so I put up with it


    instead of divorcing him. Do you know that?”


    Callum patted her on the back in an attempt to calm her down. “Calm down first, Mom. All of this might


    be a misunderstanding.”


    “A misunderstanding, huh? Have you ever wondered why your dad is so nice to Elspeth if it’s not


    because of this?”


    “Dad is friends with Elspeth’s father. They’ve been through thick and thin together, so it’s very normal


    for Dad to be fond of his daughter.”


    “Alright, I won’t say any more about it. In any case, just remember that Elspeth isn’t a good match for


    you,” Margot advised earnestly. “Callum, I won’t do you any harm. I’ll definitely find you ady that’s


    better than anyone else. You know—”


    Callum replied, “It’s enough, Mom. I have my own judgment.” He wasn’t that gullible. Although what


    Margot had said sounded very true, he was nheless doubtful deep down. Skeptical about her


    words, he saw her out of the room.


    “Remember to drink the milk before it cools,” Margot urged before going back to her bedroom.


    Callum returned to his desk, picked up the ss of milk, and finished it in a gulp. After that, he sorted


    out his documents and went to bed.


    However, after lying in bed for a while, he felt unusually hot. He turned up the air conditioner, but it was


    of no use. He couldn’t sleep, and his body was hot as though it were on fire; he even had some strange


    reactions. Before he knew it, Elspeth’s face appeared in his mind; the thought of her smile, her delicate


    features, and her seductive red lips was tempting him. “Sh*t,” he swore under his breath. What am I


    thinking about?


    Just when his mind was getting jumbled, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked.


    The lights were off, so he couldn’t see clearly who the person was. All he felt was an ice-cold hand that


    caressed his face before naughtily moving all the way down. He seized the person’s wrist. With thest


    bit of reason that he could muster, he asked, “Who are you?” Judging by the person’s silhouette, it had


    to be a youngdy. The only youngdy who can enter my room is probably…


    “Callum…” Feeling the burning heat on the palm of her hand, Ophelia was both surprised and anxious.


    Am I about to get my hands on Callum?


    “Ophelia?”


    Ophelia mustered the courage to kiss him, only to be shoved away forcefully.


    “Ophelia, what are you doing?” Callum panted out under his breath while feeling his body gradually


    be weak.


    “Callum, I love you. I want to be with you forever, okay…” Ophelia said in a tearful voice as she


    hurriedly undressed him. “But you only have eyes for Elspeth, and I can’t ept you going out with her.


    Callum, you’re mine. You can only be mine—”


    Callum calmed down. With all his might, he clutched Ophelia’s wrist to stop her from continuing what


    she was doing. “Ophelia, even if you and I really end up sleeping together tonight, I won’t marry you.”


    Ophelia never expected him to say something like this, and her eyes widened in disbelief. “Callum, how


    could you do this to me?”


    “I know you’ve changed a lot since your return this time, and I really thought you’d gotten over me,”


    Callum said as his voice grew colder and colder. “But I never thought you’d drug me. Ophelia, you’re


    really quite something.”


    Fearing that he might get angry, Ophelia lowered her voice to a whisper. “Please don’t get mad,


    Callum. I love you, but I don’t want you to hate me—”


    Callum let go of her and took half a step back. “Get out of here now.”


    “Callum…”


    Seeing that she seemed to have no intention of giving up, Callum gritted his teeth, picked up the ss


    on his desk, and smashed it against his head. The next second, he passed out.
