Chapter 458
Chapter 458 Register Our Marriage Tomorrow
"If that''s the case, we''ll register our marriage tomorrow."
It wouldn''t be good to keep dying this. Callum didn''t want other men to have any covetous thoughts
about her.
He had already decided to return home and collect his birth certificate tomorrow, while Elspeth felt rather
faint after hearing what he said.
"I didn''t n on getting married so quickly…"
To be honest, she had never thought of getting tied down to anyone at the moment.
Marriage was a huge responsibility, and she was afraid to make such amitment. However, she didn''t
expect that her words would garner such a huge reaction from Callum.
He retracted the icy smile on his face, suddenly grabbed onto her waist, and pushed her up against the
wall as he stared at her with cold eyes.
"Say that again."
Even though Elspeth was worried that he might do something in a fit of anger, she still came clean about
her thoughts, saying, "I still don''t want to… Hmm!"
The rest of her sentence was swallowed by his lips.
This was the first time Callum had kissed her so forcefully as he held her waist and pulled her close to
him while he pried her lips open with his tongue.
Elspeth felt out of breath and let out muffled sounds of disapproval, but that only made him kiss her
harder.
Eventually, her legs gave out, and she almost fell to the ground. But he managed to scoop her up in time.
He gave her a moment to breathe as he looked at Elspeth, who was gasping for breath before drawling
huskily, "So, tell me. Do you want to marry me?"
She nodded and shook her head as her eyes turned teary.
"Such a doll." Callum looked at her pitiful face as his gazended on her plump red lips. His eyes
darkened as he felt himself bing aroused by the ravishing sight before him.
Still, he suppressed it.
"Marry me, please?" He gently ran his fingers through her hair as he asked softly.
Elspeth was already dizzy from the kiss and could no longer think straight as she nodded her head
obediently.
"Then, we''ll go register our marriage tomorrow." He caressed her head and let her off the hook with a
smile. "I''ll sleep in the guest room tonight."
That was the escape she needed as she dashed back to her room the instant she was released from his
clutches.
Callum couldn''t help butugh when he heard the door click.
She entered the room and locked it before sitting on the bed to catch her breath. After a while, the
redness on her face finally subsided.
Callum was too domineering. How could he just decide that for her? But she didn''t dare to protest his
words.
However, she had to admit that he was a good kisser. It seemed like he was familiar with it. Did he
secretly learn it from somewhere?
She couldn''t help but giggle as she imagined him watching and learning from certain non-child-friendly
videos.
Just as her imagination ran wild, she heard three rhythmic knocks rapping against her door.
Elspeth didn''t dare go out now and asked without opening the door, "What is it?"
"Do you have clean towels?"

Only then did she remember she hadn''t prepared anything for him. She realized she only had clean
towels in her room. So, it meant that she had to open the door ande in close contact with him.
But she didn''t dare to open the door after the passionate kiss they shared earlier.
After some internal conflict, she took a clean towel from the cupboard and a set of loungewear before
hesitantly treading to the door and opening it to see Callum wearing only pants with his upper body
exposed to the world.
Elspeth couldn''t help but keep secretly ncing at his beautiful muscr body and the outline of his
eight-pack.
His muscles were well-toned, and he wasn''t overly built, which made him a sight for sore eyes.
And his fair skin made him look delectable.
Tsk. Tsk. What am I thinking?
Elspeth had never seen this side of him as she lowered her flushed face and forced herself to look away
from him.
Meanwhile, Callum curled his lips into an imperceptible smirk when he saw her reaction.
He was ted that he was attractive to her.
Elspeth handed the things over to him and intended to shut the door immediately when a hand suddenly
stopped that from happening.
Callum raised the loungewear in his hands and asked meaningfully, "Do you want to exin why you''ve
got men''s loungewear in your home?"
Did that Jethro guy wear this?
As he thought of that, he couldn''t help the urge to toss them aside and incinerate them.
"I prepared it just in case a need arises." She was being truthful. Even Callum wouldn''t be able to pick
anything wrong with that and was forced to stop interrogating her.
"I''m going to take a shower, then." With that, he turned around and left.
Elspeth once again shut the door and went to take a shower before retiring for the night.
It was a long day, and she was utterly exhausted.
After she had enjoyed a satisfying shower, she switched off the lights andy down. Then, she heard
footsteps outside nearing her door, and a weird feeling surfaced in her heart.
Nheless, those footsteps didn''t seem like they were about to stop at her door and leave quickly. That
made her let out a sigh of relief.
In the end, she couldn''t fight the drowsiness and fell into slumber amid her jumbled thoughts.
Elspeth was afraid of the cold. Now that it was stillte autumn, her hands and feet would freeze during
the night.
In her dream, she felt her icy hands and feet being enveloped by a warmth that rxed her. So, she
moved closer to the heat.
The following day, she woke up to see herself sprawled on top of Callum like an octopus and lost her
cool.
"Why are you in my room?"
Callum had woken up earlier but was afraid of disturbing her from her slumber. So, he was careful not to
move.
When he saw her leaving his embrace with a panic-stricken face, he felt a little begrudging.
Elspeth stood at a distance from him and checked her clothes before finally rxing when she confirmed
that they were still in ce.
"I came to your roomst night asking where the aircon remote was. But you suddenly grabbed me and
didn''t let me leave. You even climbed on top of me."
Callum frowned like he was the poor victim in this scenario.
She never imagined herself to be so unabashed to pull a man into her bed and blushed beet red at the
realization.
Regardless, she couldn''t help but be suspicious of such a thing. "You''re not lying, aren''t you?"
Callum raised his hand and showed her the bruise sttered across his hand. "I hit my hand on the table
last night when you dragged me in."
The hard evidence was enough to prove Elspeth''s perverse actionsst night.
So, she could only groan in embarrassment and covered herself with the nket.
