Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 273


    Although Max had been fooled, he couldn’t bring himself to blow his top when he saw how piteous


    Yelena looked. “Are you sure you’re not eager to get engaged on a whim?” Max looked at her face and


    asked seriously.“I’m not acting on a whim. I’ve been meaning to marry you since I was sixteen. It’s


    been three years now and I’ve never changed my mind.”Yelena had been waiting for him for three


    years. During this period, she encountered too many things, which strengthened her belief that she was


    in love with Max. She would never have a change of heart.“Alright, then. From now on, you have to


    obey everything I say.”Max sounded serious, but his words made Yelena feel vexed.She knew that she


    would be restricted by the man in many ways, but she didn’t mind it, for she would be engaged to Max.


    I’m on cloud nine!The others broke intoughter as they were happy for the young couple.Then, they


    discussed the date for the engagement party and confirmed that it would be on 20 May at 1.14PM,


    which was deemed to be an auspicious date and time in Chars.Elspeth then brought Yelena to the


    Azure Corporation’s underground exhibition hall. As Yelena looked at those stunning evening gowns,


    she finally realized that she had been foolish to fight Emma over the wedding dress in Harvey’s


    store.She almost missed a chance to get one of these beautiful dresses.“You can just take any dress


    you want.”Clothes were supposed to be worn anyway. Furthermore, Yelena’s build was simr to


    Elspeth’s. As such, she would probably fit into one of these dresses.Yelena nodded and picked out a


    dress before joyfully entering the fitting room.When she reappeared, her face was reddish even though


    she hadn’t put on any makeup. She turned around in front of the mirror as the pink hem expanded like


    a flower.“It’s gorgeous, Elspeth. How do I look?”Yelena chuckled, thinking that Max would be besotted if


    he saw Yelena in this dress.Elspeth nodded. “You look wonderful, but there’s one more thing you


    need.”She then took out a pearl ne from a box and wrapped it around Yelena’s neck, which


    added a hint of elegance to the young woman.“Alright. You can wear this on the engagement


    day.”Yelena asked curiously, “What about you, Elspeth?”With a smile, Elspeth pointed at a pure white


    dress that was without any embroidery.The design looked simple but unimpressive. Furthermore, it


    didn’t look like a wedding dress at all.“Don’t you think it’s too in?” Yelena was baffled.“Don’t worry.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    You’ll find out on the engagement day.” Elspeth winked at Yelena and it set her mind at ease.Although


    Elspeth could be silly sometimes, there was no way she would make a mistake on her engagement


    day. As such, there was nothing to worry about.Then, Yelena turned to the mirror again and observed


    herself.Soon, the engagement day arrived.Since it was the engagement party of the two sons from the


    Winthrop Family, the daughter from the Sullivan Family, and the granddaughter from the Joneson


    Family, it was big news in Damoria.Although Elspeth wasn’t close to the Joneson Family, they still sent


    a gift to her.Naturally, it was a gift from Frank, not Michael. There was also a letter attached to


    it.‘Elspeth, I can’t believe you didn’t invite me to your engagement party. Anyway, with Grandpa around,


    I can’t possibly attend the party. You have no idea how furious he is. When you get married, I’ll sneak


    out of the house and attend your party. This time, I’m sending you a gift first.’Frank sounded humble in


    the letter.Elspeth smiled and epted the gift in silence.There was no denying Elspeth was the star on


    this day.Her already alluring face was made even more charming with this pure white dress. Everyone


    was stunned by her beauty. Due to this engagement party, Elspeth had been nicknamed the ‘White


    Rose of Damoria’.Max and Callum greeted the guests at the entrance. Since Yelena didn’t have


    anything to do, she asked Elspeth to keep herpany and waited in the vi. She also gossiped with


    otherdies.Thesedies were all Yelena’s friends and they looked haughty.“Hey, Yelena. Now that


    you’re finally engaged to a wealthy man, I hope you won’t forget about us.” One of thedies sounded


    jealous as she said that.Elspeth instantly realized that this woman was arrogant and crafty. Perhaps


    she was jealous of Yelena because thetter had found happiness.“I won’t, Camille. We’re all good


    friends. We said that we’d make a lot of money together.” Yelena giggled, looking silly.Elspeth shook


    her head and wondered what was on Yelena’s mind. She was always fierce to others but whenever she


    was with these cunning people who were her so-called friends, she would be as meek as a sheep.Just


    as Elspeth expected, the woman named Camille Parks went on to say, “You’re different now. You’re


    engaged to a Winthrop, so you’re affluent. We wouldn’t darepare ourselves to you.”Yelena put on


    an embarrassed smile.Just as Elspeth was ready to stand up for Yelena to teach Camille a lesson, a


    gentle voice was heard saying, “You can also find yourself a wealthy man. No one is stopping you.”The


    response was sarcastic but also somewhatical.Edmund is still as sharp-tongued as ever.Elspeth


    hadn’t met Edmund for a long time. After he was done taking care of Theodore while the older man


    was sick, he joined a subsidiary to get some training. The moment he returned, he saw Yelena getting


    mocked.Edmund’s words made Camille flush. The Winthrop men were all handsome and brilliant. If


    she could get together with one of them, she would make her family proud.“That’s not what I meant, Mr.


    Winthrop.”Despite the smile on Edmund’s face, he appeared distant and aloof. “Although I don’t get


    what you mean, I’m amazed by how eloquent you are, Miss Parks. I suppose no one in Damoria will be


    a perfect match for you.”Camille initially thought that he wasplimenting her, but her expression


    soon changed.The man seemed to suggest that she was arrogant and ambitious but didn’t have the


    qualities to secure a decent man for herself.She initially wanted to attract Edmund’s attention, but she


    soon cast the idea away. After a snort, she turned around and left.If she stayed there any longer, she


    would probably be aughingstock in all of Damoria if word got out.When the others saw how


    embarrassed Camille looked, they ran away as well so as not to be humiliated.Elspeth took a look at


    Edmund and shed a smile at him. “We haven’t seen each other for a while. It seems that you’ve


    be even more sharp-tongued.”“I’m nothingpared to you, Miss Lynwood. You managed to


    render me speechless back then. I was impressed.” Despite hisnguid voice, Edmund was still as


    annoying as ever.Elspeth smiled as she was used to the man’s mockery. She decided to stop talking to


    him.Gifts continued to stream into the ce.When Elspeth realized that the rest were swamped with


    work, she decided to lend them a hand and epted the gifts with them.All of a sudden, a delicate box


    caught her attention.A familiar floral pattern had been carved on the wooden box. Elspeth’s father used


    to be a carpenter, so she instantly recognized it was her father’s signature floral pattern.She felt her


    chest tightening as she opened the box with trembling hands. There was nothing else in the box apart


    from a silvery gray ne.Elspeth pulled out a heart-shaped pendant with a hollow center from her


    clothes and ced it beside the gift.When the two heart-shaped pendants were put together, they


    matched perfectly.
