Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 400 Have Fun With a New Man

Yelena's words were truly moving, but Elspeth knew there was surely a misunderstanding. "Don't be so

impulsive, Yelena. Things are not what they seem to be. I…"

Suddenly, Yelena shook her head, and a bitter smile played on her lips. "No, I'm not being impulsive. I

know a lot of things, but I haven't exposed him yet."

Hearing that, Elspeth furrowed her brows. Is there something else to this?

Yelena said straightforwardly, "Since all of you here are family, I won't hide anything anymore. Max, I

know you met up with a girl behind my back and even went to a hotel together with her. Do you think

I'm that foolish not to know anything?"

"Yelena, I…" Max's gloominess disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know how to explain.

The moment Elspeth saw him stutter while trying to explain, her heart sank. "Is it true, Max?" She knew

him well and believed Max wouldn't do something so disgraceful, but seeing the way he looked, it

seemed like it was true.

At this moment, Max noticed the suspicious gazes around him, so he said anxiously, "It was just a

junior of mine. We had a gathering the other day, and my classmates insisted that I send her home. I

couldn't get her address, so I had to take her to a hotel, but nothing happened between us."

Hearing that, Yelena forced a smile. "Do you know why I am aware of this?" As she spoke, she took out

her phone and showed everyone several shocking, explicit photos. The pictures of the two were taken

in a hotel bed with their skin faintly visible, emitting an extremely amorous atmosphere.

When Arthur saw that, he couldn't help but laugh. "This is what happens when the elder doesn't set a

good example. It seems like Max knows how to play too." Obviously, he was referring to Callum. No

one else but Arthur had the mood to mock others during a moment like this.

Max didn't expect Yelena to have such photos, and his face turned extremely pale. "There's nothing

between me and her, though."

They had a gathering three days ago, and everyone got drunk. He took her to a hotel after the reunion,

but he didn't remember what happened after that. Max probably passed out because of the alcohol,

and when he woke up the next morning, there was a note on the bed that read, 'Thank you, Max.' He

was sure that nothing happened between them, but he didn't know why he had suddenly passed out.

Seeing that he was still trying to justify himself, Yelena trembled in anger, but she tried to keep her

emotions in check as she said, "Why don't you look into it, then? There's even proof of pregnancy. Your

junior is pregnant, so it's time you think about how you're going to take responsibility for her."

Elspeth didn't know how Yelena pretended to be fine and joked around with everyone. This was

something no one could accept, and even she could only barely maintain her composure. Feeling sorry

for Yelena, she hugged her and muttered, "Oh, Yelena…" Out of everyone, Yelena suffered the most.

After lowering her head, Yelena used her trembling hand to tug at the corner of Elspeth's clothes before

saying calmly, "Let's go, Elspeth."

"Okay." At this point, Elspeth didn't have the right to stop her, so she stood up and held Yelena's hand,

only to realize that her fingertips were cold. Even though it wasn't her own story, it was particularly

heartbreaking.

Sure enough, Margot didn't believe that her son would do such a thing and couldn't bear watching her

daughter-in-law leave like this, so she stood up and stopped the two of them. She said anxiously,

"Can't you give him another chance, Yelena? I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding. I'm sure

you know that Max isn't like that at all…"

Yelena was still willing to say a few more words to Margot. "Mrs. Winthrop, this matter has had a great

impact on me. I can't talk to him about this with a clear mind just yet. Perhaps I'll think it over, and we

can discuss this in a few days."

This was her biggest compromise, for Yelena did not lose her temper or shout her lungs out. She

showed a completely different demeanor than before in the face of this matter.

"We're leaving now. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop." After saying that, Elspeth led Yelena straight to

the door.

Suddenly, an abrupt and hoarse voice sounded. "Yelena, actually… I was planning to propose to you

today."

Upon hearing that, Yelena's actions came to a halt.

Max's heart pounded rapidly as he looked at her back, knowing she was determined to leave. There

was a hint of agony in his voice as he asked, "Do you still want to marry me now?"

Desolate, she turned around and looked at the ring box in his hand.

"Forget about it," she answered after taking a deep breath. With that, she and Elspeth left the living

room right away.

After they left the Winthrop Residence, Elspeth called for a taxi by the road. While waiting for the

vehicle to arrive, she looked at Yelena's dejected expression and couldn't help but pat her head.

Then, she let Yelena lean against her shoulder and said, "Cry if you want to. I know that you're feeling

wronged and sad. You've been in a relationship for so long, after all. Anyone would find it hard to

accept something like this."

Hearing that, Yelena lifted her head. Her eyes were already red-rimmed at this point. "I know, Elspeth. I

should have had a big fight with him and vented my anger, but I accidentally saw the engagement ring

he bought me. I know he loves me and wants to marry me, so I've been hesitant about speaking up."

She knew that if she did, their relationship would never be the same.

Elspeth seemed to have sensed something, so she tentatively asked, "You were ready to swallow your

pride and forgive him regardless of whether it happened, am I right?"

Although Yelena didn't say a word, her reaction confirmed everything.

Suddenly, Elspeth smacked her on the head. "What were you thinking? If he cheats on you, do you

want to be the one to pick up the pieces? Twenty years later, when his illegitimate child comes

knocking on your door and fights with your son over the family fortune…"

Yelena had a headache upon listening to Elspeth's words. With a frown, she shook her head. "No way.

That's too much like a soap opera. It's too melodramatic."

"I'm just teasing you!" Elspeth couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Upset, Yelena wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. "I'm already like this, yet you

still have the heart to tease me!"

After a shrug, Elspeth asked seriously, "Well, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find a new man, of course. If he can sleep with his little junior, why can't I have fun with

someone else?"

When Elspeth heard that, her eyes widened. "Are you sure?"

Yelena's expression was sullen, and she had nowhere to vent her emotions. Suddenly, a driver pulled

over and waved at them. "Did you call for a taxi?"

Before Elspeth could say anything, Yelena rushed over. "Sir, do you have a son who is of marriageable

age? Could you introduce him to me?"

Hearing that, Elspeth was speechless. This girl really acts on her thoughts...
