Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 209
Jordan wasn’t offended by her sarcastic remarks, though. Instead, he joked with her as usual, saying
with a smile, “No, I’m not. I just happened to run into you because fate brings us together, no?” “Then
why are you sitting at my table?”“I’m just making do with your table. The others are all taken.”Elspeth
pointed at the several free tables nearby before letting out an angryugh. “Mr. Carr, do you have bad
eyes or something?”“You’re right that I always have bad eyes. As it happens, I’m not wearing my
sses today.”Indeed, Jordan had always looked serious with his sses on. Now that he had taken
off his sses, he looked somewhat… devilishly handsome with a few locks of hair dangling over his
forehead.“You’re only here because you have something to ask of me. What is it that you want to tell
me this time? Spill it.”Jordan didn’t hide his intentions either. He replied frankly, “Old Mr. Joneson wants
you to get engaged to me.”Elspeth snorted withughter at once. “Engaged? Jordan, you know there’s
no way I would get engaged to you.”“Oh, really? That’s not for sure, though.” Jordan gave her a
meaningful smile that betrayed an undetectable hint of slyness.Elspeth grew suspicious. “What’s the
matter? Is he doing something behind my back again?”A sly smile tugged at the corners of Jordan’s
mouth, which revealed an inexplicable hint of ridicule. “Well, I’m not certain about this, but Old Mr.
Joneson really went to great pains to make you go home.”Elspeth stared at the man’s face as her
suspicions lingered. “Then why are you telling me about this? Aren’t you worried that I’ll prepare for this
in advance?”Jordan crossed his legs while pouring himself a ss of wine. “That’s because you can’t
change anything.”Elspeth smiled. “Jordan, I have to say you’re pretty thick-skinned.”Jordan had an
arrogant smile on his face. “Even if I want to go out with you, I’ll make you agree to it with my own
capabilities. So what if I tell you in advance? You’ll have to go back and get engaged to me sooner or
later, anyway.”Elspeth thought that the man before her was no longer the Jordan she knew. In short…
he looked a bit crazy. She stood up. I’d better leave as soon as possible. I can’t drink here any longer,
after all.However, no sooner had she walked a few steps than her wrist was held in a tight grip. “What’s
the hurry to leave? Aren’t you curious about what’s going on with Callum?”Although Elspeth was still
able to mention Callum’s name withposure, it was nheless a sore point with her. She stoppedThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
before looking at Jordan’s face with a rare look of anger and embarrassment on her pretty face. “Why
mention him?”Jordan replied, “If it were me, I wouldn’t have put up with it when my boyfriend spent time
with another woman and defended her in every way possible. Don’t you care about this at all? Do you
know why Callum had such a sudden change in attitude?”Elspeth was startled for a moment.
“Why?”“Because he couldn’t get over his ex, especially his first love. Don’t you know how much weight
the words ‘first love’ carries?”Jordan only gave a smirk of ridicule, from which Elspeth even detected a
hint of sympathy. Though itsted only for a second, his reaction betrayed feelings of pity and
regret.Elspeth’s heart twinged suddenly. Are the beliefs that I held onto previously just wishful thinking?
Everyone has noticed Callum’s change of heart, yet I’m the only person who believes from start to
finish that he would never change. “Callum would still be attracted to Emma after four years of
separation. If you don’t believe it, just wait until he dumps you and gets back together with her.” Jordan
chuckled softly before letting go of her.Elspeth’s heart ached. Maintaining herposure with great
effort, she turned around and prepared to leave.“Oh, right, there’s one thing that I forgot to tell you.”
Jordan leaned over to her ear. He whispered, “Actually, I really like you.”Elspeth stepped on his foot
immediately.Jordan broke out in a cold sweat; he had to clench his teeth hard to prevent himself from
crying out in pain. “Elspeth…” He forced a smile. “Even though you don’t believe this, I really like you. I
absolutely won’t lose to Callum in that regard.”Elspeth didn’t bother to pay attention to what he said. At
this very moment, all she wanted to do was find a secluded spot and quietly withdraw into herself. After
leaving the bar, she was ready to go somewhere else for another drink, but she suddenly noticed a
familiar figure at the door. Arthur? Why is he here?Seeing Arthur walking straight into the bar, she
hurriedly followed him inside.Taking great pains to avoid Jordan, she followed Arthur to a booth and
seated herself behind him, lowering her head to conceal herself. When she looked up again, her jaw
dropped in surprise at the sight of the familiar person before her. Arthur and Emma? Why are they
meeting up here in the middle of the night?Before she realized what was going on, Arthur asked, “How
are you doingtely? Is Callum treating you well?”Emma raised her chin proudly. “Of course, he is.
He’s very cold toward Elspeth now; not only does he only have eyes for me, but he also helped clean
up my mess many times. If it weren’t that he hadn’t broken up with Elspeth yet, I would’ve made our
rtionship public.”“You mean… Callum’s snubbing Elspeth and going out with you?” Arthur looked
rather surprised before smiling inprehension. After all, Emma was his first girlfriend, so it’s only
natural that he still has feelings for her even though they’ve broken up. Seems like he was just
pretending to dislike her in front of us previously.Emma replied, “Yeah, that’s right. I think Callum
doesn’t like Elspeth that much. Whenever she called him, he’d frown and keep the conversation short
before hanging up on her. I think he hasn’t broken up with her because she hasn’t brought it up yet.
Otherwise, he would’ve freed himself from her long ago.”Elspeth was stunned in ce as she listened
to their conversation from behind. Emma was a cosseteddy, but what she said didn’t seem to be
false. Could Callum really be waiting for me to break up with him?“By the way, Arthur, did you get me
here because you have something to talk to me about?”Arthur nodded. “Yes, I do. I’m here this time
because I’d like to know if you really love him.”“Of course, I do. I’ve loved him for eight full years.”Arthur
drew back his lips into a forced smile that had a hint of unspeakable bitterness in it before it
disappeared in an instant. “In that case, do you mean what happened between usst time doesn’t
count anymore?”A hint of shame and resentment shed across Emma’s face. “Arthur, I only slept with
you by identst time because I was drunk. I already made it clear afterward that we should forget
about this. Do you have to go so far as to threaten me with this?”“I’m not threatening you.”Emma stood
up with her eyes full of disdain. “I’ve always loved Callum. He’s handsome, talented, and steady. If
you’ve got any ideas, you’d better nip them in the bud,” she said. With that, she turned around and left,
ignoring the frenzied look in Arthur’s eyes.Arthur sat for a long time without saying a word. After that,
he finished the wine in his ss in one go and left after Emma.
