Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 189
“Nothing is going on between Emma and me, Elspeth,” Callum calmly exined. Since he had not
done anything wrong, he would not cower. He then turned to bark at Emma, “You should be going. Do
not make me repeat myself.” The difference in attitude was clear to all. “Come now,” Elspeth said.
“Don’t be so quick to kick her out. She traveled far to get back here. We should still treat her like the
guest she is. After all, it is Emma, right? I know her.”Elspeth might not be screaming and shouting, but
he knew this was just the calm before the storm. As for who the storm’s target would be, he knew it full
well.At that moment, Emma stood up and directed a sweet and innocent smile at Elspeth. “Hello. My
name is Emma Walker.” Then, she held out her hand in an elegant and refined manner.Elspeth did not
shake her hand, though. “You’re so polite, Miss Walker,” shemented with a scoff. “Howe you
would go around seducing taken men?”Emma did not visibly respond to that aside from showing a
slight hint of sorrow on her face. “Miss Lynwood, I know you are Callum’s girlfriend, but we are good
friends. Are you jealous of his friends as well?”Friends? No friend would coyly flirt around while holding
the other person’s hand.Elspeth had not intended to expose Emma’s lies, but her deceitful behavior
pushed Elspeth to immediately mock her, “Friends today, sisters tomorrow, and dearest the day after;
that’s what happens in all the shows. You sure know how to y around, Miss Walker.”As for Emma,
the angrier Elspeth was, the happier she felt. Emma had only been away for a few years, and another
woman was already by Callum’s side. What was she meant to think of that? However, she would not be
as forceful as Elspeth. She had to be demure and gentle so that he knew she was the kindest, most
considerate woman in the room.“I know you’re upset, Miss Lynwood, but if you can’t even ept our
friendship now, how can you be his wife?”“Callum, I want to hear from you, not her,” Elspeth said.
Following that, she turned to look at him with a pleading gaze.“I can’t even be considered friends with
her,” Callum replied, not even ncing at Emma.Emma clenched her jaw and stared at him with tearful
eyes. “Am I that intolerable, Callum?”He kept quiet, an implicit agreement.Soon, tears streamed down
Emma’s cheeks. “I could take all the words she can throw at me, Callum, but I cannot leave you with
misunderstandings about me. The two of us had been together for so long. You know me—”“You areN?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
someone who will abandon love for a better future,” he interrupted. The air around him was colder than
ice as he slowly walked over to Elspeth. Then, his lips spread wide in a doting smile without hinting at
his previously icy demeanor. “Are you tired?” After all, she had rushed back.Emma was dissatisfied
with how little care Callum showed for her. Nevertheless, there was nothing she could do. Her only
option was to grit her teeth and swallow down all the agony she felt. That was her only way to win him
back.“I wasn’t, but after talking to that lying witch, I’m exhausted.” Elspeth stuck out her tongue. She
looked so cute and yful, a much better behavior in his eyes than Emma’s sly manner.“Come, let’s
get some food.”Not once did he nce at Emma’s face.“Where are you going?” Emma asked with eyes
full of hope. “Arthur had said he wanted to meet up one day. Why don’t we—” She did not want to give
them even a second to be alone together. Elspeth turned to look at her andughed. “Callum, the witch
wants to dine with us. Should we bring her along?”“I don’t like the taste of a witch’s brew,” Callum
calmly replied as he draped her shoulders with his suit jacket. He then wrapped his arm around her
waist before leading her out of the room.When Emma saw how close the two were, she wished she
could tear into Elspeth’s pretty little face so that she could never seduce him again. At that moment, her
phone started ringing. When she saw the caller ID shing on her screen, the hatred in her eyes
receded as she smirked.…Meanwhile, at the restaurant.Elspeth let her smile fade away. “Callum,
Emma mentioned Arthur wanting to meet up with her. Since when did he pay so much attention to a
woman? Say… does he like her?”“Before I got together with Emma, Arthur would frequently look for
excuses to invite Emma out. One time, Arthur returned from their outing with a dark expression. Since
then, he never invited her out when it was merely the two of them.”Callum silently thought about it. It
was undeniable. Based on what he remembered, Arthur likely loved Emma. Perhaps Arthur was
reticent about his emotions orcked the courage to be forthright about them.“Come to think of it,
Arthur’s grievances and resentment all appeared overnight,” he said.Elspeth was about to ask more
questions about the past when a familiarugh rang behind her. “Well, if it isn’t, dear Callum and
Elspeth.”Arthur had sharp eyes. When he saw Elspeth, he immediately walked over with Emma in
tow.When Elspeth saw the two of them chatter side by side, she thought they were perfect for each
other if one ignored Emma’s love for Callum.“It has been a long time since west met. Why don’t we
sit together?” Arthur’s words were polite, but he immediately sat down without waiting for a
response.Emma was also going to sit down when Elspeth questioned, “Did we say yes? Why are you
sitting already?” She did not think Arthur was here to y nice with them. However, she stole his
ginkgo thest they met, so he might be plotting to get back at her.To her surprise, hepletely
ignored her and smiled at someone behind Emma. “You’re here too? Come sit with us!”She followed
his gaze to find the other three sons of the Winthrops standing there. What is going on? Why are they
all here?The awkward air lingering around Emma vanished as she grinned and said, “The Winthrops
were so nice to me when I was still with Callum. I wanted to meet up with everyone now that I’ve
returned. At least I want to share a meal or something.”Max was an impulsive man. The sight of
Arthur’s fake smile had him instantly blurting out in a mocking tone, “Why is Arthur, that traitor, here
too?”Edmund was only present because Emma was friendly to him before. Seeing Arthur, he stered
on a smile as he harshly spat out, “Not everyone here is a Winthrop, though.”Emma knew what had
happened before, so she exined, “Arthur is not as bad as you thought. I didn’t invite everyone so we
could catch up, but I also wanted to ease the tension between you guys—”Her act of being the saintly
mediator disgusted Elspeth, though. She could not resist snapping, “How would an outsider know
about the Winthrops’ Family business?”Emma’s mouth gaped and closed before sadly lowering her
head. “I’m only trying to be nice. Anyway, you’re an outsider too, Elspeth.”Callum’s face darkened when
he heard that. “She is my fiancée,” he retorted. “You cannot bepared to her.”
