Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 468 Yes, I Was Jealous. So What?

"Is it possible that she didn't just stop loving you? Maybe she was disappointed in you, and that was

why she drifted away."

Disappointed…

It was probably because of the misunderstanding last time. Max lowered his head to hide the forlorn

look in his eyes.

"You only know that she doesn't love you anymore, but do you remember who the first person was to

commit betrayal in your relationship?"

"I didn't betray her. I never did anything that actually betrayed her." Even at this moment, he was

subconsciously defending himself.

Elspeth sighed lightly. "I'm not you, and I don't know what exactly happened between you two, but what

I know is that you had an overly intimate relationship with another woman while you were dating

Yelena. You were mentally cheating on her. Maybe those photos were faked, but your way of

interacting with that woman cannot lie. You thought that talking to other women wouldn't affect your

relationship with Yelena, so you let down your guard and gave the woman a chance to step between

you and Yelena. Even now, are you still unable to recognize your mistakes?"

When Max heard that, he felt even more remorseful.

"I know I was wrong, but I don't dare to admit it. If I did, then she would have a reason to leave me. She

will leave me forever by then."

In the end, he still wasn't brave enough to face this incident honestly. Elspeth shook her head in

exasperation, then sat down next to him.

"Max, it's too late. Nothing you do now can change the results of this incident. Instead of brooding over

it and thinking about your past with her, why don't you let it go and start over?"

She didn't know about other matters, but she knew Yelena very well. Yelena was gradually getting over

her relationship with Max. In other words, she was slowly moving out of the shadow of breaking up.

Of course, most of her progress was thanks to the Hank Damazio.

"Is she happy with that man?"

Max was referring to none other than Hank.

"Will you be sad if she's very happy now?"

Max looked up at the mountains in the distance with a desolate look in his eyes. "Yes, but I'll be happy

too."

"She isn't officially dating him yet, but I can see how earnestly Hank treats her. So, it's only a matter of

time before they make it official."

Max looked dejected as he lowered his head in silence. The look in his eyes gradually darkened, and a

hint of loneliness flitted faintly across his eyes. He looked a little sad and resentful.

"That means I don't have a chance anymore, right?"

Elspeth could only put her hand on his shoulder and pat it lightly.

"Max, stop dwelling in the past. It's about time you let go."

Max shook his head, sadness filling his eyes. "It's impossible. I don't think I can ever let go."

"Oh, right, Yelena wanted me to relay something to you."

Max's eyes lit up. "What is it?"

"She said, 'To each their own paths. Let's not focus on eternity and relish the memories instead.'"

As soon as Elspeth said that, Max instantly felt relief wash over him.

"I see. She means that I should treasure memories of the past but not dwell on it, right?"

Elspeth nodded smilingly. "That's right. She also said that she hopes you'll live well and find the truly

right person."

Max stood up. The icy wind from the lake blew in, and he immediately started shivering.

Elspeth knew that this was going to happen, so she took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck.

"All right, you're probably getting over it now."

Max nodded. Even though he was still in a low mood, he was considerably better compared to before.

"Thank you, Elspeth."

"You're welcome. I'm just trying to counsel you a little, and I hope you'll feel better soon."

Elspeth thought for a bit. "How's this sound? Tomorrow, I'll get Callum to take you drinking at Luna Bar.

You might get to know someone new."

"Hahaha, Elspeth, don't mock me like this. I no longer have the desire to be in a relationship. Now, I

just want to do the things I love."

Elspeth was surprised. "What is it?"

The bright expression returned to Max's face as he said, "Have you forgotten what my hobby is?"

"Racing?"

"That's right. Some time ago, I was invited to participate in a racing competition overseas. I never fully

considered it because I had to train overseas for half a year to participate."

He gazed up at the moon in the sky, then let out a long sigh.

"But now, I suddenly want to go. It's just half a year of training, and it's not too bad if I can achieve

something in the field I love."

Elspeth was moved. Max must have been hesitant to go because of Yelena. Now that he lost Yelena,

he doesn't want to lose his passion and dreams as well.

"I support you, and I believe Yelena would support you too."

Max nodded with a faint smile on his face. "I know that she had always been supportive of me pursuing

my passions, but I didn't want to leave her, so I never agreed."

He couldn't just stay defeated after a breakup and remain down forever. That would be too

embarrassing. If Yelena knew about that, she would look down on him.

"All right, I'll register tomorrow. I'll turn in early tonight, so good night, Elspeth."

Max smiled as he took off the scarf and passed it to her. "You should hold on to this. If Callum knew

that I was wearing your scarf, he would kill me."

"You're exaggerating it." Despite saying so, she still accepted the scarf.

Callum caused such a huge ruckus because of the love letter last time; hence, it wouldn't be a surprise

if he got mad this time as well. All in all, he probably shouldn't see Max wearing her scarf.

After Max left, Elspeth was about to walk back when a dark figure suddenly popped up behind a bush.

Elspeth's hearing was very keen, and she immediately prepared herself for battle.

The next moment, the dark figure dashed to her and surprisingly hugged her. When Elspeth caught a

whiff of the familiar scent, she sighed in relief. "Callum, what's with the jump scare?"

"I saw you wrapping a scarf around him just now."

He was speaking through gritted teeth. Elspeth's heart skipped a beat. She could never hide from his

watch, no matter how much she tried.

"Have you been listening in all this while?"

"What's wrong with me listening in when my wife is talking to another man?"

Callum wasn't mad at first, but when he saw Elspeth comforting Max and putting a scarf on the latter,

he felt upset for some reason.

"I was just counseling him, but it sounds so weird when you put it like that, as if there's something going

on between us."

Callum turned her around to face him, then stared at her red lips and proceeded to bite them.

"Yes, I was jealous. So what?"
