Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 272


    Elspeth and Yelena spent the entire morning shopping for wedding dresses. However, none of the


    dresses were up to Elspeth’s standards. After sending Yelena home, Elspeth returned to the Winthrop


    Residence.During dinner, all of them were seated in the dining hall. Nheless, Max could feel that


    his family members had been peeking at him. However, when he looked up, he realized no one was


    looking at him.Elspeth prepared a bowl of tomato soup for Callum and asked with a smile, “Do you


    think the man Yelena is seeing is reliable, Callum?”“Of course. Matthew is known to be a responsible


    man. He has been in love with Yelena for quite a while. I’m sure Yelena will be happy if they get


    married.”A glint shed across Elspeth’s eyes.At the mention of Yelena, Max’s expression


    changed.He’s still pretending to be calm. I’ll see how much longer he can put up with this.“When are


    they going to meet up?”Callum took a sip of tomato soup and replied calmly, “Tomorrow afternoon. If


    everything goes well, they might even get engaged on the same day as us.”“Great. I’m sure Yelena will


    be pleased.”They were engrossed in talking about Yelena’s love life. Even Theodore and Margot took


    part in the conversation, saying that it was all Max’s fault. They were ted that Yelena had found a


    better man.Max felt his eyelids twitching. “Give me a break. Why are you all acting strangely


    today?”What do they mean it’s my fault? Is Yelena seeing someone now?“Don’t you know, Max?


    Yelena is going to meet up with Matthew tomorrow and discuss their marriage. The March Family is


    well-to-do, so Matthew is a perfect match for Yelena.”Max frowned. “Yelena doesn’t like


    him.”“Familiarity breeds fondness. I didn’t use to like Callum, but I still fell in love with him in the


    end.”Max’s expression darkened.“Yelena won’t do that.”“Why wouldn’t she? Yelena and I visited


    Harvey’s wedding dress store today and came across Emma. If you don’t believe me, you can go to


    their store and ask them. Yelena has always wanted to get married. She was envious when we


    shopped around for wedding dresses. I believe she’ll likely agree to get together with Matthew.”When


    they were done with dinner, Callum cleaned his lips with a napkin and rose from the chair. “I’ll deal with


    work matters now so that I’ll have some free time to go out with you tomorrow.”“Okay.”After Elspeth and


    Callum were gone, Max couldn’t take it anymore.As he nced at Theodore and Margot, he asked


    doubtfully, “What’s going on? Have all of you joined forces to say such things?”“What are you talking


    about? You’re so silly. Do you think you’ll get what you want by doing nothing? What did I teach you


    growing up?”Theodore rolled his eyes and headed to the bedroom with Margot.Max was left standing


    there on his own, looking dumbfounded.The next morning, Elspeth got out of bed and washed up


    before heading out with Callum.After they entered the car, she put on some makeup and asked, “Do


    you think Max will follow us? It seems that he’s more patient than I think.”Callum took a look at the


    rearview mirror and replied confidently, “Look who’s behind us.”A car that obviously belonged to the


    Winthrops was following them, and it was rather conspicuous.“Gosh. Why didn’t he use a less


    conspicuous car? He’s so silly,” Elspeth said dismissively.“Perhaps he isn’t nning on hiding anything.


    I guess he’ll make a big fuss out of it.”Callum knew Max’s temperament all too well.Max was someone


    who would retaliate against those who harmed him, let alone when someone was trying to snatch his


    woman from him.I wonder if Matthew is strong enough to take a beating.As they each got lost in their


    thoughts, they soon reached their destination. Yelena had been waiting for them and beside her stood


    a tall Matthew in casual clothes. It was Elspeth’s first time seeing Matthew, who was Callum’s best


    friend.She knew that Matthew was awyer, and the truth was, he looked dapper.In fact, Matthew was


    just as good-looking as Max. His aquiline nose added ayer of delicateness to his appearance, and


    his golden-framed sses made him look somewhat sexy.At any rate, he wasn’t Elspeth’s cup of


    tea.Elspeth’s impression of Matthew changed the moment he started speaking.“Callum, I think it brings


    no benefits to me by helping you with the act.” Matthew frowned and put on a bitter expression. He


    didn’t look as elegant as before he started speaking.He’s so different from what I thought he was


    like.“I’ll invest 700,000 in yourw firm.”Instantly, Matthew’s eyes brightened. “Are you serious? You


    mustn’t go back on your word!”“Of course.”Elspeth couldn’t help butugh. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t


    your grandfather give you money? Why are you short on money?”At the mention of this, Matthew


    seemed to be on the brink of breaking into tears. “I don’t have a choice. I’m the only grandson in the


    March Family and my grandfather insists that I inherit the family business. However, it’s always been


    my dream to be awyer. As such, I can only rely on Callum.”“Have you ever tried toe up with a


    solution?”“Yes. Back then, I had a discussion with my grandfather and told him to sell the March GroupContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    to the Winthrop Group so that I’d have more money to develop myw firm, but he was so furious that


    he almost wanted to burn myw firm down. Since then, I’ve never dared say such nonsense.”Matthew


    is so silly and na?ve! Fortunately, Yelena isn’t really in love with him. Otherwise, she would’ve beaten


    him up.After some small talk, they entered the restaurant.From the looks of it, they seemed to be going


    on a double date. Elspeth and Callum were like their seniors while Matthew looked lovingly at Yelena.


    On the other hand, Yelena hung her head bashfully, looking as though she was satisfied with this


    man.“Why hasn’t he appeared yet?” Elspeth asked.Callum coughed and took a look at her. “I suppose


    it’s because there’s no intimate interaction yet. They have to do more.”Elspeth signaled for Yelena to be


    more intimate with Matthew. As such, Yelena rose from the chair and went over to take Matthew’s


    hand.“Yelena!”Yelena stopped what she was doing when she heard someone roaring at her.From a


    distance, they could see Max standing there, his expression thunderous. The people around him were


    terrified.“Why are you dating another man behind my back? Don’t you remember I’m your boyfriend?”


    Max strode forward and grabbed Yelena’s hand as he red at Matthew.Matthew shuddered as the


    smile on his face froze.Why is he looking at me like this? I’m only doing this for the money. I don’t like a


    brusque woman like Yelena! Moreover, I’m forced to do it!A furious Max was ready to punch Matthew.


    Seeing that, Matthew hurriedly closed his eyes.It’s over! My handsome face will be gone for good! I


    haven’t managed to seduce many women using my advantage…Nheless, he soon realized he


    wasn’t in pain. He cautiously opened his eyes and saw that Callum had intercepted Max’s fist for


    him.An enraged Callum snapped, “Since you’re not marrying Yelena, what right do you have to stop


    her from getting engaged to another man?”Max barked, “Who said I’m not marrying


    her?”“When?”When Max saw how cautious Yelena looked, he felt his chest tightening. “As long as she


    wants to marry me, we can do this anytime.”Elspethughed. “Missionpleted! Let’s


    celebrate!”Meanwhile, Callum put on a smile as well.However, Matthew wiped the cold sweat off his


    forehead as he wasn’t very pleased.Only then did Max realize he had fallen into their trap.
