Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 277
Early the next day, Elspeth was woken up by a call. She rubbed her eyes, then reached out and felt for
her phone below her pillow. Then, she answered the call.Her eyes were swollen from the grogginess. It
was already 10.00PMst night when she was done entertaining the guests. By the time she washed
up andy in bed, it was already past midnight.The voiceing from the other end of the line was
familiar and cold. The man’s hoarse voice sounded. “Elspeth.”The woman woke with a start. She sat up
on the bed, and the sunlight from the window coincidentally shone in her eyes. She hastily covered her
eyes as she said, “Are you back, Gilbert?”“Hm, I thought I told them to inform you yesterday. Are you
still in bed right now? Are you cking off because I haven’t trained you in a while?”Gilbert’s voice was
low and crisp, and it sounded especially nice in the morning when he was still half-asleep.“Of course
not! How could I possibly ck off? I woke up at 5.00AM and went for a jog, then went home for a nap.
I never ck off.”Elspeth lied, her eyes darting around as she did so.When she saw that the quartz
clock on the milky white wall showed noon, her face turned pale.“That’s quite a long nap you
took.”Gilbert couldn’t be bothered to expose her. He was pulling his luggage behind him while he
walked, and the wheels were rumbling on the ground.“Where are you now? Shall I go fetch you?”
Elspeth propped her phone between her ear and shoulder as she began rummaging through her
closet. “Or just tell me your location, and I’ll go find you.”When Gilbert heard the crashing noises on the
other end of the line, he knew that Elspeth was probably bustling about again. He couldn’t help but let
out a chuckle. “It’s okay, you don’t have toe and get me. I’m already at the rented house.”“What?”
Elspeth was slightly stunned. “It’s not like you’recking money; why would you stay at a rented
house?”As they spoke, Gilbert had already arrived at a slightly worn-down residential building. He
proceeded to open the door with a key. It wasn’t a huge room, but other than the thinyer of dust, it
looked clean and tidy.“Before I was 18, I stubbornly moved out and started working. This is the very
house I lived in back then, but sadly…” Gilbert narrowed his eyes as he began to reminisce. “Sadly, my
parents passed away after that, and I never came back.”Elspeth knew this incident had always
bothered him, so she didn’t say much about it as she changed the topic. “Well, Harper and I will visit
you tonight after 6.00PM. Let’s get some drinks.”Gilbert put down his backpack and sat on the couch,
propping his feet up. “Oh, what’s this? Is Mr. Winthrop willing to let his fiancée go out for drinks with
someone else in the middle of the night?”“You’re not a man, anyway. What’s more, Harper is totally out
of the question.”Elspethughed, then instantly realized she had said something wrong as she covered
her mouth.“Fine, quit the nonsense. I’m going to shower. Carry on with whatever you’re supposed to
do.” Gilbert had always been a decisive person, and he hung up pretty quickly.Elspeth was slightly
bewildered as she sat on the pile of clothes.Her heart was a mess.Just then, someone knocked on her
door. The sound was very light and based on its frequency, it sounded like Callum’s habitual
knock.Elspeth opened the door to see Callum standing in front of her. His lips were pursed, and there
was a dull light in his eyes.“Are you going out tonight?”Elspeth opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say
anything.By the looks of it, Callum must have heard their conversation and misunderstood something.
“Yes, I’m going out tonight to celebrate Gilbert’s return.”This matter was as normal as could be, but
Elspeth saw a look of disappointment flitting across his eyes.“What’s the matter?” Elspeth asked
carefully.Callum’s shoulders drooped as he shook his head and said, “Nothing. Go ahead. Don’te
back toote.”Elspeth gulped. “You’re not jealous, are you?”“No.” How can I not be jealous?Still,
Callum didn’t say those words and smiled at her instead.After bidding goodbye, he turned around and
went back to the corridor, then leaned against the wall.The notifications on his phone were ringing non-
stop. With great effort, he took out his phone and watched as photos were being sent to him. His heart
sank.In the photos, Elspeth and Gilbert seemed quite intimate with each other. They visited the
amusement park, went on the merry-go-round, had dumplings, and even shared an ice cream.Toward
the end, he received a photo of a yellowed love letter with exquisite handwriting.The letter was signed
‘Elspeth’.As Callum looked at those photos, his heart seemed to have constricted, and he couldn’t
breathe.The photo transfer was finallyplete, and Arthur’s name blinked on the screen.‘Callum, you
probably don’t know that Elspeth liked someone when she was overseas, right?’‘Yup, that man is her
mentor. They spent their happiest times together, and they looked so sweet.’‘See, Elspeth isn’t
completely ignorant about love. That love letter was written so well that even I found it blinding.’‘Callum,
has Elspeth ever treated you like that?’Arthur’s messages came to a stop, and that was thest
message in the chatroom.Callum lowered his gaze, his long eyshes quivering.‘You have no right to
discuss our private matters.’After Callum sent the message, he locked his phone.The door to Elspeth’s
room was already shut, and a wall separated the two.Callum stared at it for a while, then sighed deeply
and walked away.In the bedroom, Elspeth only felt confused.Callum’s behavior today was too odd. In
the past, even if he were jealous, he would force her to apologize and surrender, so why did he look so
hurt just now?She took out her phone, typed out a string of words, then deleted them again.Never
mind. She would ask him when he opened up about it.She picked a white belted dress and put it on.
Her corbone was exposed, and the dress also enhanced her perfect figure.After applying some light
makeup, she tied her hair and gathered her things, then went out.Elspeth made a call to Harper, but
she didn’t expect Harper to know about Gilbert’s return before she did. Harper had even gone to pick
up Gilbert at the airport, and he teased Elspeth for oversleeping and missing the flight.Elspeth couldn’t
stand all the nagging, so she hastily hung up and called up Lisa instead.“Lisa, Gilbert just came back
today. Let’s have a gathering at Luna Bar.”Lisa nodded and said yes. Elspeth was about to hang up
when a weird voice sounded from the other end of the line.The voice was quite familiar. It sounded
like… ke!“Lisa, why are you still with ke?”Lisa creased her pretty eyebrows while ke dragged
her to the w machine. She felt a headacheing on as she said, “Elspeth, I can’t exin this to
you right now. I’ll tell you when we meet up tonight.”What could it be that Lisa couldn’t exin in a few
sentences?Elspeth was speechless.After hanging up, Elspeth drove the sports car she named Night Elf
and headed right to Luna Bar.When she arrived, someone seemed to be causing a ruckus at the
entrance of Luna Bar. Elspeth turned off the engine and got out of the car. At a nce, she could spot
Gilbert standing out among the crowd.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
