Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 222


    When they arrived in Damoria, Elspeth first found a ce for Yoel to settle down before she went back


    to the Winthrop Residence with Callum. She was quiet the whole journey back home. Callum, who


    knew what she was thinking, casually brought up, “If you have a question, ask away.”“I want to know


    what is going to happen between you and Emma.”She had been a lot busier these days. Having to


    handle Michael and the problem with Jordan and Angie, Elspeth hadn’t found a chance to ask Callum


    about this.“Merry meet, merry part. Since the issue has been resolved, she and I will naturally go our


    separate ways. We no longer have anything to do with each other.”Elspeth was extremely satisfied with


    his answer.“So?”“So,” he solemnly exined, “I’m going to publicly refute the rumors first. Firstly,


    Emma and I were never really together, and she was the one who was making things up. Secondly, it is


    you who are, legally, my fiancée.”“Considering how proactive you are in handling this, Mr. Winthrop, I’ll


    stop picking on you.”That put a small smile on his face as he murmured, “Thank you, Mrs.


    Winthrop.”“What?!” She immediately turned as red as a tomato when she heard the way he addressed


    her. “Who are you calling Mrs. Winthrop?!”“It is only a matter of time before you are mine. Nothing


    wrong with calling you Mrs. Winthrop a little earlier. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Winthrop?”Callum’s voice was


    deep and maic, and he sounded particrly alluring when he called her ‘Mrs. Winthrop’. It was like


    music to her ears.It was a good thing that she wasn’t someone who had a weakness for pleasant


    voices. Otherwise, she would have been defeated by Callum’s voice alone.She didn’t say anything in


    reply and only red at him before she turned to the other side.After they arrived at the Winthrop


    Residence, Callum, being the gentleman that he was, opened the car door for her and walked into the


    house holding her hand.However, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a wailing woman as


    soon as they stepped into the building.Emma was shedding tears in front of Theodore and Margot.


    When she saw that Callum hade home, she subconsciously rushed over and blurted, “Callum!


    Callum, you’re back! I saw the news about Elspeth running away from her wedding. Did you go to


    her?”She suddenly froze the moment she noticed Elspeth standing beside Callum. “Callum, w-why did


    you bring Elspeth home?”“What’s wrong with me bringing my girlfriend home?”His reply was calm, but


    the damage was so potent Emma swiftly turned as white as snow.“Callum, how can you bring Elspeth


    home when I am your girlfriend? W-What about what happened a few days ago? What was that all


    about?!”Getting annoyed from all the sobbing, Elspeth answered without missing a beat, “Looks like


    luck’s not on your side.”Emma was like a puppy that had been kicked and she blew her top almost


    instantly. “You have no right to say anything, Elspeth!”That elicited augh out of Elspeth. “No right, you


    say? Surely you don’t mean to say that you do. I have no idea how you got involved with Grandfather,


    but the moment you tried to sabotage my rtionship with Callum, I have every right to get you out of


    my sight.”Emma straightened her back when she heard Elspeth’s words. “This is the Winthrop


    Residence. It’s not your house. Why would Mr. Winthrop kick me out of here when he likes me?”She


    then turned to look at Theodore.To her surprise, Theodore was looking at Elspeth with a guilty


    expression on his face. He didn’t seem to like Emma as much as he did before.“I’m sorry, Elspeth. I


    —”“It’s alright, Mr. Theodore,” Elspeth cut him off with a smile. “You were impatient because you


    wanted to save your wife. I understand.” Theodore’s eyes were wet with warm tears. He couldn’t


    believe he almost lost such a wonderful daughter-inw.“What is the meaning of this?” Emma was still


    confused about what was happening.“You only knew that Grandfather promised you to get you Callum,


    but you didn’t know that he also kidnapped Mrs. Winthrop to force Callum to submit. Emma, you were


    the only one who thought you were loved. Everything hase to light now. It’s time you wake up from


    your daydream.”Emma looked at Callum in disbelief. Her heart broke when she saw the loving look in


    his eyes, which were trained on Elspeth.Theodore chimed in then, “Emma, I know that you have


    feelings for Callum, but Elspeth and he have been promised to each other a long time ago. Even if you


    and Callum were in a rtionship before, it’s all in the past. Please, it’s time to let him go.”Emma felt


    herself breaking down as soon as she heard that. “I don’t believe this…” She struggled to add, “Mr.


    Winthrop, I’m the one you like the most, no? You wouldn’t have treated me so well before if you


    didn’t…”“Emma, it’s fine to be stupid, but ttering yourself is a big no-no. Don’t you know why Mr.


    Winthrop was nice to you?” Elspeth sneered and uttered words without a hint of mercy.Emma couldn’t


    stop her thoughts from running wild anymore and she burst into tears.“I like you so much, Callum. How


    could you do this to me…”Callum’s head felt like it would split open anytime now, but he grew even


    more annoyed hearing her crying. “Stop crying and go home if there is nothing else. Don’t make a fool


    out of yourself here.”Make a fool out of myself? Emma lifted her head to look at his face, her eyes filled


    with disbelief.She didn’t think there woulde a day when he would say such words to her. She was


    even more surprised by him humiliating her mercilessly in front of everyone.Now that the rose-colored


    sses she had on were shattered, she gingerly peered at the man who felt like a stranger to her. He


    felt so unfamiliar it was detestable.She then carelessly shifted her gaze to Elspeth as though she was


    unwilling to spend even one second on her.“I know! You teamed up to lie to me, didn’t you? I was


    wondering why Callum was willing to be with me all of a sudden. This is all a scheme!” She looked like


    a lunatic as she stood up, chortling. “I know everything now. I won’t let you off the hook. I will never let


    this go!”She then dashed out of the house without a care.Elspeth only lifted her gaze then. “To be


    honest,” shemented, “I’m worried about her mental state.”Callum hugged her shoulders. “It’s


    alright. She only has herself to me for everything. It has got nothing to do with us.”Even though it


    was true that everything was of Emma’s own doing, Elspeth couldn’t help thinking that the woman was


    rather pitiful.“I don’t think thest thing she said was a joke.”Elspeth looked to Callum with her


    eyebrows furrowed as a strong sense of danger hit her.When Callum heard that, he pulled her into his


    arms and held her tight. “Don’t worry. I will protect you,” he reassured her.“Ahem!”It was only when a


    cough rang out from the side that the couple noticed Theodore was still there, and they awkwardly


    detached themselves from one another.“It’s normal for you youngsters to be passionate in love. Don’t


    mind me. Just pretend that I’m not here.”Theodore let out a stiff smile when he realized that he was


    being a third wheel.“Geez! Don’t start imagining things, Dad. How’s Mom doing?”Callum was always


    thinking about his mother. Even though his father repeatedly told him on the phone that his mother was


    fine, he was still worried.Theodore stood up and stated, “She’s upstairs. I’ll take the two of you to her.”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
