Chapter 455 Entrap Him on Purpose
Based on their married couple-like bickering, that only further proves that Miss Lynwood is head over
heels for Mr. Winthrop. All the employees sighed inwardly.
Just like that, the two held hands and waltzed out of thepany.

Since Callum would be cooking this evening, they naturally needed to drop by the nearby supermarket
to get some ingredients before they headed to Elspeth''s ce.
She couldn''t help but smile and nudge Callum with her elbow when she saw him staring at a cabbage
as though he had never seen one before. "Hey. You said you''re going to make me dinner, right? But
why have I never known that you could cook?"
Sure enough, Callum would never breathe a word to her that he only learned a few special dishes after
browsing through countless cooking tutorials and destroying several pans.
"You don''t need to worry about that." He stared at her face and frowned slightly before he turned his
head and picked a few more carrots from the shelf.
When she caught sight of the violently orange carrots that he threw into the shopping cart, she
instinctively reached toward the car, took them out, and ced them back on the shelf. "I don''t like
carrots."
Only then did he realize that he hadn''t asked about her preferences and whether she had particr
dietary restrictions.
So, he immediately asked, in order to rectify his neglect, "What''s the food that you dislike, then?"
With that, Elspeth started naming them out loud. "Let''s see… I dislike carrots, bean sprouts, celery,
brussels sprouts, mushrooms, fish…"
The longer Callum listened, the more troubled he felt. Pulled pork burritos, garlic butter steak with
brussels sprouts, baked Tpia… These are all the dishes that I have learned. Yet, it turns out that she
won''t enjoy the dishes I''m making.
He immediately furrowed his brows in dejection.
Naturally, she noticed his sudden change in demeanor and hastily realized that she had probably
backed him into a difficult spot. Therefore, she quickly corrected her statement, "Actually, it''s not like I
completely dislike them. I can have them once in a while."
Only then did Callum''s facial expression brighten a little. "Then, I will continue with the n and make
you these dishes."
Wait a minute. I seem to really dislike carrots! When that thought came to mind, she wished so badly
that she could bite her tongue off. Why? Oh, why did I correct myself? We could just dine out if things
don''t work out. Now I''m about to eat something I dislike! But it''s toote to turn back now. He might
explode if I change my mind and tell him that I hate carrots.
Ultimately, Elspeth could only force herself to nod and say, "It''s okay. I enjoy eating whatever dish you
make." Enjoy my foot!
After that, the two wandered around the shelf for a while. Callum picked out a few ingredients he knew
before wrapping them up, preparing to go home.
s, a pair of uninvited guests walked up to them when they were checking out their items.
"Hey, Elspeth. You''re here? What a coincidence. And Callum…"
Callum never thought that he would meet ke here.
"ke, what are you doing here?"
ke''s facial expression abruptly turned ghastly when he heard his name being brazenly called out in
such a manner.
"Callum, stop yelling. I have fans! We''re in public! I might need to start another episode of the great
escape if they recognize me."
Great escape? The corner of Callum''s mouth twitched slightly when he heard that. Nheless, he
directed his attention at the slim and graceful Lisa beside ke and asked with a teasing smirk,
"What''s wrong? Are you currently dating someone?"
Just as ke was about to admit it, the woman next to him immediately denied Callum''s statement.
"No. He''s my servant."
Elspeth couldn''t restrain herself and burst into raucousughter when she heard such an address. "You
two make quite an interesting couple."
Callum quirked his brow at that remark andmented, "What''s the matter? You seem to be looking
forward to it."
"No, I don''t. I can''t possibly address you, the president of Winthrop Group, as a servant."
Callum''s facial expression turned sullen. "Well, you''d better give up this idea."
"Wait. When did you two get together?" ke widened his eyes in shock when he saw the two show up
together at the same ce. Now that he had taken a better look at them, he even noticed that they
were shopping for groceries together, looking just like an ordinary couple who was ready to head home
and cook.
"Callum, didn''t your engagement fall through recently? Why are you getting together with Elspeth again
so soon?"
Why on earth does ke have to make me sound like a sc*mbag? Callum''s facial expression
darkened almost instantly, and he drawled in a somewhat neutral tone, "Do you find your life to be too
comfortable recently?"
ke knew that this was a sign of Callum''s impending anger. Therefore, he didn''t dare to say anything
more and shot a look at Lisa, who was next to him, with an aggrieved expression.
Unfortunately, Lisa didn''t go easy on him. Instead, she reached out and rapped ke on his head.
"How many times have I told you not to meddle in someone else''s affairs?!"
Even Elspeth found it a little inconceivable when she saw such an expression on Lisa''s usual poker
face.
Her mind couldn''t help but wander to when she first met Lisa. Back then, this youngdy always had a
poker face on, no matter where she went. She looked utterly disinterested in worldly affairs and exuded
a strangers-stay-away aura that was so strong that even I found her a rather difficult person to
approach. At that time, I felt that she was probably rather introverted or just merely uninterested. I''d
never imagined seeing her in a rtionship, let alone be with someone like ke. I can''t believe she
would be so rxed around him. Lisa actually fell in love during my absence… It''s a pity that I missed
out on catching that particr budding romance when it was still a young sapling.
"Bloke?! Where''s Bloke?!"
Callum wrapped his arms around her waist and said grumpily, "You are prohibited from thinking about
someone else."
He was aware that based on Elspeth''s gossipy nature, she was currently busy figuring out how the
rtionship between ke and Lisa came about.
Still, he didn''t want her to think about it. If he could have his way, he would rather she think about him
all day long and no one else.
"I never figured that you''d be so prone to jealousy."
Callum didn''t feel the least bit ashamed as he retorted candidly, "Well, now you know."
"Now, now. I don''t want to see you two publicly disying your affection like this. Lisa is very shy. She
isn''t even willing to interact so intimately with me in public."
His words unsurprisingly garnered yet another p from Lisa immediately.
"Hey. Don''t p my face. I still have to rely on my good looks to make a living."
Lisa didn''t care one whit as she tossed him a dismissive gaze and rebuked in a tone as cold as ice,
"What if I p your face? I''m telling you—I won''t just be pping your face if you continue talking
nonsense."
ke pouted at her for being so mean. Although he made a show of looking sad and aggrieved,
inwardly, he was practically bouncing with glee.
"You''re just like a masochist."
Elspeth rolled her eyes at him before she turned her head and tilted her chin at Lisa. "Keep an eye on
ke. You should know how he gets by now. It''s okay. Sometimes violence is the answer, at least to
keep him in line, it is."
Meanwhile, Callum, who was next to her, also let out a meaningful hum.
When ke saw that those who should be helping him were not only adding fuel to the fire but were
definitely siding with Lisa. Once he came to that epiphany, he finally realized he was alone and
helpless.
"Wow. Look at all of you picking on little old me! The audacity!"
Even though ke pretended to be saddened and hurt by their uncaring attitudes, he was actually
about to use this opportunity for Lisa to sympathize with him. "Lisa, look at how pitiful I am. No one is
helping me, so you can''t bully me, okay? No one will feel bad for me even when you do so. I only have
you as my support!"
Due to his words, Lisa also felt that she had gone slightly too far. Just as she was about to say
something, Elspeth, who was next to them, suddenly couldn''t help but mess things up for him.
Therefore, she raised her voice and shouted, "ke, it''s you!"
As soon as these words escaped her lips, the already bustling supermarket instantly exploded into an
uproar.
"ke?! Where''s ke?!"
