Chapter 403 Jasmine Will Be Unhappy About This
However, Elspeth didn’t forget that her mission now was to look for Yelena and Hank.
“I don’t have time to talk with you. I still have other things to do.” As she spoke, she turned around and left.
Callum seemed to have known what was on her mind and said, “Yelena is fine. You don’t have to worry about her.”
He smirked when he saw that she turned around and looked at him.
Elspeth stopped, turned around, and asked him, “How do you know about this?”
Callum found it amusing when he heard her words. “Why do you think I’m here?” he asked.
Noticing that he was serious about it, Elspeth hesitantly got into his car. When she closed the door and was met with
Callum’s cold eyes, she returned to her senses and asked, “How did you know about this? Did Hank send you a text
telling you about it?” She didn’t quite believe her words, though. After all, Hank had only recently returned to
Damoria, so he wouldn’t have any connections with Callum.
On the other hand, Callum was speechless by her words, but he nodded anyway since he didn’t want to discuss how
he had known about this matter. “That’s right. He told me about it.”
Although he replied without hesitation, Elspeth didn’t believe him and felt that he was lying. After all, she didn’t think
Callum would do such a thing. “Have you forgotten that Yelena is Max’s fiancée? How could you possibly allow
someone else to take her away?”
“This has nothing to do with me.” Callum looked at her casually.
When Elspeth heard his words, she was startled. Suddenly, she couldn’t help but complain, “In that case, why are
you here?” There is nothing between us anymore. Why is he looking for me, anyway? she thought. There was no
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtway she would believe that he was here to spend time with her.
“I’m here to tell you about something, of course.” Callum gripped the steering wheel and looked in front. After
some time, his eyes dimmed, and he said, “I’m sorry.”
Elspeth couldn’t believe what she was hearing and felt that it was ridiculous. “What are you apologizing for all of a
sudden? What did you do wrong?” Is he out of his mind?
Callum’s eyes turned cold at her words, and annoyance filled his eyes. “I’m apologizing for what I said to you
tonight.”
Hearing his words, Elspeth recalled Callum’s hurtful words and the way he overstepped the line. Looks like he’s
apologizing to maintain his image.
After Elspeth thought about it, she felt sad. Then, she waved him off and acted like she didn’t care. “It’s fine. You
don’t have to apologize to me. After all, I am only an outsider, and it is inappropriate for me to intervene with your
family business. I should be the one who is sorry.”
As soon as she spoke, Callum squinted his eyes and looked at her threateningly. “Just accept my apology and stop
talking.”
Elspeth was taken aback by his words and felt even more upset. At that moment, she couldn’t help but raise her
voice, saying, “If you are just here to apologize, you don’t need to come all the way. After all, I will not accept your
apology, nor am I worthy enough to forgive you.”
Then, she opened the car door and got out. “Also, I have something to say, Mr. Winthrop.” She turned around and
smiled at him. “Please stop seeing me. Miss McGrath won’t be happy when she knows about this, after all.”
Her words had drawn a line between them.
Callum didn’t know what to say and could only look at her cold eyes. At that moment, he felt distressed.
“I got it,” responded Callum as he lowered his head, hiding his emotions away.
Elspeth took a deep breath and smiled. “If there isn’t anything else, I’ll be taking my leave.”
“Alright.” Callum gave her a final look before driving off without hesitation.
After he left, Elspeth felt her knees weaken, and she almost fell to the ground. However, she quickly sorted out her
emotions since she was still unsure about Hank’s personality. At this moment, she had to find Yelena.
On the other hand, Hank wasn’t having a great time. After he had placed Yelena in the passenger seat and was
about to call Elspeth, he saw Callum calling out to her. Seeing that it was one of her acquaintances, he didn’t worry
much. Thus, he immediately got into the car and drove Yelena home.
Truthfully, he intended to find an opportunity to be alone with Yelena. However, Yelena wasn’t as quiet as he
thought she would be. After fidgeting in her seat, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. When Hank was
met with her clear eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt guilty. He was worried that Yelena would have a bad
impression on him and thought he was some hooligan with bad intentions.
“I’m just…” Before he could tell her that he was just trying to get her home, Yelena giggled.
Hank was surprised by that. “Why are you so happy?” he asked.
Although Yelena was laughing, she had tears in her eyes. “I’ve finally broken up with him. In the past, I kept all of it
to myself when he cheated on me and slept with other women. He kept these things away from me and never told
me about it,” she said softly. Then, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears. “I will never forgive him for
what he has done. Never.”
As Hank heard her words, he was heartbroken. “Yes. He is a bad guy. Let’s not be friends with him anymore.” He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreached out and ruffled her hair. Feeling the soft sensation, he sighed. “I’m sorry. You wouldn’t have experienced
these nasty things had I come to you sooner.”
“What does this have to do with you?” asked Yelena as she shook her head. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have acted
dumb and ignored it.” It was painful for her to ignore the fact that Max had cheated on her. She kept it to herself
for so long that she couldn’t withstand it anymore.
“Say, am I not good enough? Is that why he cheated on me?” Tears were glistening in her eyes.
Hank gently wiped away her tears and replied, “Are you hearing yourself? You are good enough. Everyone loves
you for who you are.”
“Why doesn’t he like me, then?” After she spoke, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
At that moment, Hank felt a sudden rage overwhelming him. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and tried to
calm himself down.
Max, eh? I won’t forgive you for what you have done to Yelena.
…
In the meantime, Elspeth received a notification from her phone just as she steadied herself. It was a stranger’s
phone number. When she opened the message, she saw a picture of Yelena’s house.
‘I have sent Yelena back home safely. I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood. You might have to go back on your own,’ the person
texted her.
Knowing that Yelena had arrived home safely, Elspeth felt at ease.
‘It’s fine. Thank you for driving her home,’ she replied.
