Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 318

When Arthur noticed her slightly red eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her request.

"Sure. Since you want to leave today, let's leave today."

" What about my mom?"

"Don't worry about it. I will keep my word." Arthur subconsciously reached out to pat her head, but she dodged liis

hand. The disappointment he felt made his tone sound a little impatient.

"Alright then. I'll buy the tickets."

After saying that, Elspeth got up and was about to return to her room, but Arthur stopped her. He was frowning

when asking. "Have you forgotten that you're supposed to be dead? How can you buy tickets? Do you want Old Mr.

Joneson to find out you're still alive?"

Elspeth's mind was a mess, so she couldn't think clearly. When she heard what Arthur said, she became even more

depressed.

She sat back on the couch, and the soft material helped subside the rage inside her a little.

"What do you suppose we do?"

After lighting his cigarette, Arthur breathed out a puff of smoke before suggesting, "We'll leave by ship. Once we

reach another country tomorrow, we can take a plane to Eden."

Since there were many people whom they knew in Blaydal. they couldn't go out in public and fly to Eden.

"But we might have to trouble your mom to follow us on this long journey. Also, you have to find a reason that she

would believe."

Elspeth's eyes glistened. "Don't worry. I have an idea."

Surprised, Arthur stared at her and asked. " What is it? Don't tell me you're going to send the helve after the

hatchet and tell her everything?"

"Do I look that stupid?" Elspeth rolled her eyes. "Do you remember Elias Cole? He's the man I met after you and

Emma forced me to jump off the cliff. It was also he who saved me and brought me up onto his cargo ship."

When mentioning that incident, Elspeth still felt resentment for the two culprits.

As she expected, Arthur seemed a little uneasy.

"So, what are you trying to say?"

"Since the Coles are willing to set me free, perhaps they will be willing to help me. I'm considering visiting Mr. Cole

and asking him to help me secretly leave the country."

While she said that, she had a determined smile on her face.

After listening to her plan, Arthur instantly understood. "I never thought that it wasn't me who got you out of there

easily but that they never intended for you to many Edmund's man. But even so, how are you going to explain

things to your mom?"

Elspeth froze as if she were thinking about the feasibility of her plan.

"You don't have to worry about that. Mom has a slight connection with the Coles, so it might not be a problem as

long as I have a clear explanation and involve a bit of her connection with the Coles."

Surprised, Arthur smiled. "You're smart."

How can her small mind think so quickly?

"Of course. I'm smart. Do you think every woman in the world is stupid like Emma and has to rely on men to do

everything?" Even when agreeing with him and elevating herself, Elspeth didn't forget to belittle Emma.

Emma was mean. Elspeth wouldn't miss an opportunity to ridicule her.

This time, Arthur didn't show any intentions of standing up for Emma. Instead, he jeered. "It seems like you have

quite a huge grudge against Emma."

While hugging a pillow, Elspeth looked at Arthur sternly. "Arthur, what state of mind are you in to ask this question?

Don't tell me you think I only have a slight grudge against you?"

Arthur froze for a moment but continued to smile as he replied. "We've been spending so much time together that I

almost forgot that we used to be nemeses."

Hearing that, Elspeth immediately corrected him. "It's not 'used to,' we still are and will still be."

Then, Arthur suddenly pinned her down on the couch. It happened so quickly that Elspeth was caught off guard.

Elspeth felt her heart sink as she stared at him warily. "What are you doing?"

"Am I such an annoying person to you?"

Arthur frowned slightly, and liis tone sounded somewhat harsh, which was different from how he usually spoke.

"Well, don't you also find me annoying?" While looking at him, Elspeth felt quite speechless.

"I don't..."

Right after Arthur said that, he suddenly turned gloomy and stopped talking.

Seeing that he seemed lost in his thoughts, Elspeth nimbly escaped from him and then distanced herself from him.

"Alright. Our plan can't wait. I'll head over to look for Elias now."

Soon, Elspeth disguised herself with heavy and exaggerated makeup. She also wore a cap and mask just to be safe.

When Arthur saw her getup, he didn't know how to react.

"Is this getup necessary?"

Though Elspeth's cap was low and covered her eyes, Arthur could still sense her rolling her eyes in disdain.

"I'm going alone, so you don't have to follow me. I'll be back later."

With a raised eyebrow, Arthur retorted, "Of course. I know that. Your mom is still here, so where else can you go?"

Elspeth glared at him in contempt. "You're despicable."

To leave this place by today, Elspeth hurriedly hailed a cab to the Cole Residence.

When she arrived at the door, she was about to knock and head inside. However, her hand stopped abruptly as she

discovered the entrance was cordoned off with tape. The Coles must have moved away.

After thinking about it, Elspeth thought it made sense as the reason the Coles returned to Chars was to find

Edmund. The Cole Family's businesses were all abroad, so it was reasonable that they might have already moved

back abroad after finding Edmund.

Elspeth felt a little disappointed, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly blocked her.

"Elspeth."

The voice sounded deep, sharp, and with a hint of doubt.

Turning to look at the person. Elspeth instantly paled. "Callum? Why are you here?"

Callum took a deep breath and observed Elspeth, making sure that she was alive and not some sort of spirit, before

releasing liis breath.

"I came to see how you're really doing."

Elspeth knew that the current Callum was different from before, so she didn't act like they were close. Instead, she

felt awkward and didn't know what to say.

She played with her fingers, not knowing where she should place them.

"Now that you saw me and know that I'm still alive, would you expose me?"

At first, Callum thought that Elspeth's first reaction when seeing him would be surprise and joy.

After all, he had lost his memory while Elspeth didn't.

However, the reaction he saw from her was not surprise but panic.

"What would happen if I did?"

Elspeth stopped playing with her fingers as her expression became grim. "Then you're putting me in trouble."
