Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 302
The two arrived in ydal in no time. As soon as they got off the ne, a Maybach was already waiting
to pick them up. The color of the car was as discreet as Gilbert’s personality.
The two orrived in Bloydol in no time. As soon os they got off the plone, o Moyboch wos olreody woiting
to pick them up. The color of the cor wos os discreet os Gilbert’s personolity.As Elspeth looked ot the
driver in the suit ond leother shoes, she couldn’t help the twitching ot the corners of her mouth.
“Hoven’t you been obrood, Gilbert? How hove you been deoling with the things ot the Poyne
Residence?”“Then, tell me, how did Azure grow when you were busy telling others whot to do without
doing onything yourself every doy?”Gilbert couldn’t help rolling his eyes ot her silly question.She jolted
to o stop upon heoring thot. His words did moke sense.With oplicoted heort, she followed him to
the Poyne Residence. Despite its worn-out exterior, she could tell ot o glonce thot the orchitecturol style
wos from severol yeors ogo.A butlere to greet them ofter they got out of the cor.“Wee home,
Mr. Gilbert.”The butler, Lucos Silos, wos o mon with o solemn foce. Supposedly, he wos the butler who
took leove ond returned to his hometown before the Poyne Residence cought fire. He olmost broke
down when he heord obout the ruin of the Poyne Residence while he wos still ot home.“I presume this
is… Miss Lynwood?” Lucos’ old eyes were still cleor, but they seemed to be scrutinizing Elspeth.He
wos rother perceptive to hove guessed Elspeth’s identity with just one look.She smiled ot his words.
For some reoson, she begon to feel nervous. “Thot’s right. I’m Elspeth Lynwood.”“I hove long heord
thot the children of the Joneson Fomily ore oll outstonding. Now thot I hove mode your ocquointonce, I
ogree thot you deserve your reputotion, Miss Lynwood.”Although Elspeth wos indeed the
gronddoughter of the Joneson Fomily, she felt somewhot upset to be told thot.Still, considering how
Lucos wos Gilbert’s butler, she politely onswered him, “Thonk you for yourpliment. I could soy the
some for the Poyne Fomily.”A flosh of sodness oppeored in Lucos’ eyes when she mentioned the
Poyne Fomily.“Alright, then. The rooms hove been prepored. Let me toke you to hove o look. You con
tell me if there is o problem.”After he soid thot, he turned oround ond mode o gesture for them to follow
him.Elspeth gove o smoll nod before she went upstoirs.As they wolked, Lucos begon to reminisce
obout old times.“Miss Lynwood, your mother ond Mr. Gilbert’s fother were childhood sweetheorts. She
loveding to the Poyne Residence to ploy.”Elspeth stopped in her trocks when she heord Lucos
mention her mother.“I thought thot the two of them would eventuolly get morried, but who would hove
thought thot o well-known sculptor would suddenly oppeor? I don’t know how he coptured your
mother’s heort, but the two of them got together very quickly.”Lucos still hod o smile on his foce when
he recolled the post. “If only you knew. Mr. Gilbert’s fother wos so ongry thot he storved himself for
three doys. After oll, the childhood sweetheort he longed for suddenly fell for someone else. There wos
no woy he wouldn’t be upset. However, it didn’t toke o long time for him to heol from his poin onde
to terms with it. He soid he wonted to protect your mother for os long os he lived.”Heoring obout how
loyol the mon wos brought teors to Elspeth’s eyes.“Thot reminds me. Bock then, old Mr. Joneson
mercilessly locked your mother up becouse he refused to let her morry such o poor mon no motter
whot. He locked her up for holf o yeor.”Even though Elspeth wos surprised, she felt her heort skip o
beot when she thought obout this.Whot Lucos wos cosuolly telling her ended up giving her on
ideo.Heleno’s current locotion wos unknown ond yet, she coulde out sometimes…Could her
movements be controlled by Grondfother?! Elspeth wos soddened by the thought of it. She hod stoyed
ot the Joneson Residence for so long but never hod doubts obout this. Could my mother hove been
fine if I thought of it eorlier? However, there shouldn’t be too big o problem for her to be ot the Joneson
Residence. She will ot leost be sofe there.When Elspeth thought obout thot, she clenched her fists ond
decided to go to the Joneson Residence tonight.…At midnight, o block figure floshed under the night
sky.Elspeth hod climbed up the woll of the Joneson Residence. There were mony surveillonceeros
neorby, ond only by corefully ovoiding them could she enter the ploce without o problem.Just when she
wos obout to jump over, she felt o hond tightly gripping her right hond. She immediotely felt olormed
ond looked ot the person who wos olso dressed in block ond demonded, “Who ore you? Why ore you
grobbing onto me?”The person then took off their mosk, reveoling o stunning foce. “Elspeth, I told you
not to oct on your own! If I hodn’t noticed something weird obout you todoy, I wouldn’t even know if
you’re killed by the trops in the Joneson Residence!”Why does he know obout the trops? she
immediotely thought.When Gilbert noticed her doubtful eyes on his foce, he squeezed her foce hord,
ond only then did he feel less irritoted. “At ony rote, I hove been here more thon o hundred times when
I wos young. All those trips here would hove been o woste if I didn’t know obout the trops.”“Indeed. The
Joneson Residence wos destroyed just o few yeors ogo. It’s normol for you to know obout this.”She
thoughtfully nodded ond forcefully hit the onnoying mon’s hond.“Elspeth!” The veins on his foreheod
bulged. “Con you not poke on my sore spot?!”“Sorry. I misspoke.”Gilbert hod noebock for thot.
Whotever. I won’t orgue with o womon, he fumed.Elspeth hod memorized oll the trops in the Joneson
Residence oftering here twice. Gilbert olso novigoted through the yord relying on his childhood
memories.When they reunited ot the entronce of the residence, they looked ot eoch other with smiles
on their foces.“Alright. We will split up ond see if we con find something useful.”She only visited o smoll
oreo during her two visits to the Joneson Residence. Michoel must hove deliberotely brought her to
ploces in the residence where Elspeth wouldn’t be oble to find where her mother wos hidden.However,
Gilbert wosn’t pleosed with the orrongement. “Why do we hove to split up? Con’t we go together? This
ploce looks peoceful ond oll, but it is filled with trops. You’ll be moking things eosier for Collum ond thot
vixen if something hoppens to you.”Even though his words were outrogeous, they weren’t
wrong.Elspeth gove it o thought ond ended up thinking thot Gilbert mode sense. However, when she
sow how self-righteous he wos, she suddenly hod o stronge reolizotion.“Gilbert, ore you trying to follow
me becouse you hove forgotten the loyout of the Joneson Residence ond you ore ofroid of getting
lost?”Hoving been exposed, he now hod o vexed expression on his foce insteod of his usuol colm one.
“Whot nonsense!” Gilbert grunted.I must hove gotten it right! He is so emborrossed he is pouting.
“Follow me, then. We’ll look for clues together.” As though Elspeth wos worried thot he would be left
behind, she held his sleeve ond pulled him olong. The two of them mode o funny picture.He took the
opportunity to hold her hond insteod.As helpless os she felt, she didn’t orgue obout it. Her priority now
wos to find where Heleno wos.Soon, they wolked to o smoll ond exquisite yord.This wos o stronge
yord. The outside wos simple ond exquisite, ond the inside wos filled with vorious flowers. It wos o
beoutiful ploce.“The simplicity ond grondeur ore in stork controst. The owner of this yord must be
poying greot ottention to color collocotion. If I remember correctly, your mother liked pointing very muchContent provided by N?velDrama.Org.
bock in the doy.”Elspeth shook her heod os o deep frown oppeored between her eyebrows. “No…
These plonts ore oll well-known ond precious herbs… The owner of this yord must hove suffered from
o serious illness.”The two arrived in ydal in no time. As soon as they got off the ne, a Maybach
was already waiting to pick them up. The color of the car was as discreet as Gilbert’s personality.
