Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 193
Arthur was wearing an all-white suit that evening and looked incredibly striking. The first thing he did
was not greet Theodore with a happy birthday. Instead, he walked over to Callum and Elspeth. “Emma
told me you were being mean to her. What did she mean by that?” Emma had apparentlyined
to Arthur, so he hade to question them.How hrious! Elspeth sneezed. “I would never dare do
that. I don’t have the guts to be mean to her. She intentionally came over to disgust me. My only choice
was to fight back. Still, what a coincidence. She was so irresponsible as to give an imitation watch as a
gift.”Then, he politely smiled. “Even if her gift isn’t a genuine product, she meant well by it. You knew
she was a public figure, yet you repeatedly humiliated her in front of many people.”Do I have to ept
responsibility for everything? She looked at Arthur with disdain as she retorted, “Arthur, it is your
business if you like her and want to protect her. I do not like her, so please never mention her name to
me.”Surprised that Elspeth would say something so vile, his face went stiff. “What a crude woman,” he
spat out.Callum shot him a cold re as he stood in front of Elspeth. “Whom are you calling crude?” he
asked, upset.Arthur did not respond to Callum’s question and merely shot Elspeth a stern look before
turning around and walking toward Theodore.Meanwhile, Theodore had been busy entertaining some
guests. When he heard that Arthur was present, emotions warred within him. Hence, he was worried
when he saw Arthur approach him.“Happy birthday, Dad,” Arthur said.Theodore flinched when he
heard the familiar term and responded, “Hey.”During theirst conversation, Arthur repeatedly
addressed Theodore as ‘Mr. Winthrop’ before he left, and every time he did that, it hurt Theodore. Still,
Arthur was willingly calling him ‘dad’ now. Did that mean he wanted to repair their rtionship?“I am so
sorry forst time, Dad,” Arthur stated. “I med all of you without knowing everything about the
situation. I even said I would cut off all contact with you guys. It’s all my fault. I hope you can forgive
me. I still want to call you Dad.”His speech was so moving that everyone present was touched.
Everyone except for Callum and Elspeth.“Say, why do you think Arthur came here to make up with your
father?” Despite the tears in Arthur’s eyes, Elspeth did not think things were what they seemed.Callum
calmly peeled open the cherry and fed it to Elspeth. “Why else? Money and power. The Winthrops
could grant him a greater social standing than anything he could achieve.”“You mean he’s up to
something again?”“I don’t know,” Callum replied with a nk look as he wiped his hands clean.
“Judging by the current situation, though, he is definitely not doing this out of the kindness of his
heart.”However, the rest of the Winthrops were not as cautious as him. Except for Edmund, who was
hesitant to believe Arthur, ke, and Max both let down their guards and dashed over to hug
Arthur.“It’s good that you’re back.”“Even if we’re not blood-rted, you will always be my brother!”They
had lived together for decades. How could their brotherhood be cut off in an instant?However, Arthur
continued to cry as cameras loudly clicked and shed. Tomorrow’s headline was set in stone.Seeing
that made Elspeth smirk mockingly. At the end of the party, Theodore suggested dining in a private
room in the hotel’s restaurant. He wanted a reunion dinner since Arthur had returned. When the food
was all served up, someone rushed into the room.“Sorry I’mte.”Elspeth scowled. Why was Emma
invited?Theodore smiled and exined, “I invited Emma. After all, she flew so far to be here with us.
She even put so much effort into my birthday celebration. I had to invite her as well.”Then, as if afraid
everyone was still confused, Arthur added, “The watch isn’t the only gift Emma prepared. There is also
a luminous pearl of the Southern Sea. It’s merely arrivingte.”When Elspeth heard that, she knew the
pearl was likely given to Emma by Arthur to save her reputation.Theodore chuckled. “It’s fine. I like it,
even if it’s not genuine. You’re so kind, Emma.”“No, Mr. Winthrop. I would never have given it to you if I
had known it was fake.” Emma ducked her head low in guilt.“Alright. Make yourselffortable. Sit
down, and let’s eat.”After Emma sat down, Callum suddenly spoke up. “Dad, is your mind going from
old age?”Theodore red at him. “What are you saying? I’m still sprightly. How could I be losing my
mind?”“Why else would you do something like this?” Callum rebuked. He knew Theodore had been
avoiding Elspeth for the past few days. Hence, he could not help but be suspicious of Theodore’s
sudden affectionate behavior toward Emma.“Callum!” Theodore barked. “Today is my birthday. Can
you save it?”Seeing that, Callum stood up, dragging Elspeth with him. “Enjoy your meal. We have
somewhere else to be.”For a moment, she was stunned. Then, she hurriedly pulled her hand out of his
grip. “Enough, Callum. Today is your father’s birthday. Don’t be rash.”Although he did not say anything,
the peaceful look on her face calmed him down significantly.Theodore was shocked. He had neverMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
realized Callum had a rebellious side to him. “What is going on with you, Callum?”Callum did not
answer him, however, nor did he say another word from then on. Instead, he downed ss after ss
of wine.It had been awfully long since Arthurst saw Callum so frustrated. It cheered him so much that
there was no way to hide the wide grin on his face.Throughout the meal, Theodore kept chatting with
Emma. Compared to that treatment, Elspeth, his future daughter-inw, seemed like an outsider
instead.“What do you do overseas, Emma?” asked Theodore.She smiled and answered, “I mainly work
in the entertainment industry. I’ve even acted in a few famous films from Hollywood. You surely have
seen some of them, Mr. Winthrop.”“Of course, I have. You are an international superstar. I have heard
of every film you acted in, especially ‘Napoleon’s Savior.’ It was an exceptionally great film.”“You’re too
kind, Mr. Winthrop. I’m only an actress. I’m not as capable as Elspeth. No wonder Callum likes her.”
Emma might be smiling on the outside, but she was burning with hatred on the inside. While I was
abroad, I had never heard of her. What right did a moderately famous woman have topete with me
for Callum?Theodore awkwardly smiled. Callum has dated both of them, which makesparisons
between them awkward. “You’re both capable women… Oh, right. Emma, when will your parents be
back in the country? They went abroad to do business, right?”
