Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 125

Chapter 125

"Why do you insist on me going back to the Winthrop Group?"

Being the vice president was equivalent to taking over half of the Winthrop Group. It wasn't something that he should be joking about. Why would Callum make me such an expensive offer?

He looked at Elspeth with a hint of tenderness. "That's because I like you. I don't want you to be so far away

from me."

He had done his fair share of thinking these days. He might not be able to change Alaina's position and let Elspeth take over as the director of the Design Department, but he could give Elspeth something better.

"Don't you mind the way I treat you? Now, let me tell you something. You are the future mistress of Winthrop Group. I can even give you the whole company, so don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"

As though he had gotten over how upset he had been feeling these days, he let out a long sigh of relief after saying that.

"L"

Elspeth couldn't utter a reply as she looked at his face.

To be honest, his words were similar to a confession that hit her hard.

What she cared about was her position in his heart and his attitude toward her.

"Alright, Callum."

She didn't know what to say, still in a daze.

It seemed that she had been too sensitive.

Callum eventually stopped the car at the gate of the villa. Instead of getting out immediately, he took Elspeth in his arms.

She did not hide this time. As she lay against his chest, she felt his beating heart and caught a whiff of his clean fragrance. She suddenly had an impulse.

She raised her head, revealing her eyes. While she was looking at his exquisite jawline, she suddenly made the bold move of moving across his face and kissing him. The air was instantly thick with intimacy the moment their lips met.

On the other hand, a fire could be seen burning in his eyes as his gaze dimmed.

By the end of it, Elspeth had turned into a melted puddle in his arms.

Callum gulped with difficulty while he hugged her soft body.

"Go and pack up. We need to go home in time for dinner."

She obediently nodded in response. Her cheeks were so flushed that she couldn't wait to get out of the car and let the fresh air calm her down.

She had just walked to the door of her house when she saw a man sitting on the rocking chair outside.

"Jordan?" she called out in surprise when she noticed him in her yard.

He stood up unhurriedly. "You haven't been home for two days. I thought something happened to you." "What are you doing here?"

"Well, the thing is, my rocking chair broke, and I wanted to sit in one. That's why I... Pardon my intrusion:" He smiled lightly and asked, "I wanted to ask if you would consider working at our company. I can give you everything Callum has given you and more. How does that sound? Do you need time to consider it?"

Just as she was about to shake her head and refuse, Callum appeared out of nowhere, burning with rage as he glared at Jordan's face. "That is needless worry on your part, Mr. Carr. Elspeth is happy at the Winthrop Group. She doesn't need to switch to your company."

"I am asking for Miss Lynwood's opinion, not yours, Mr. Winthrop. You shouldn't stick your nose into

someone else's affairs."

What Jordan said completely irked Callum, who then pulled Elspeth into his arms with a hint of possessiveness in his eyes. "What if Elspeth is my fiancée now? It shouldn't be a problem for me to interfere with my fiancée's interaction with an ill-intentioned man, yes?"

He especially emphasized his description of Jordan. Had Jordan not been a patient man, they would've started a fight on the spot.

"In that case, I'll see if you and Miss Lynwood can make it to the end, Mr. Winthrop."

Jordan dropped the sentence and turned around to leave.

Before Callum could say anything. Elspeth quickly explained, "He and I are not close at all. We don't even have much contact usually."

"I know."

It was obvious that Jordan came for Elspeth. Although his words were full of tender melancholy, both Elspeth and Callum could tell that his oaze didn't have a hint of love Like Arthur he was only interested in the benefits

"Stay away from him in the future. It'll be bad if he plots something against you."

She could tell that Callum meant his words. "I got it," she reassured him.

She then went in and quickly packed a few things before she followed him back to the Winthrop Residence.

Both Theodore and Margot, especially Margot, had missed her a lot as it had been a few days since she returned. Margot even held her hand and greeted her lovingly when she saw Elspeth. "Elspeth! Where were you all this while?"

At a glance, Elspeth could tell that Callum hadn't revealed her whereabouts the past few days. She felt a little more relieved upon noticing that.

She deliberately covered up the fact that she had contact with the Jonesons and only told them that she had been taking care of Blake as his manager and other matters.

Although Blake wasn't the brightest tool in the shed, Elspeth was confident that her relationship with the Jonesons would soon come to light if other members of the Winthrop Family found out about this matter and.

looked into it.

Hearing what Elspeth said, Margot nodded, relieved. "That's good. Come! Let's have our dinner now. I cooked lots of yummy dishes after Blake told me that you're coming back today. We were all waiting for you to come

back!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Winthrop."

Since it was the weekend today, all members of the Winthrop Family gathered to have dinner together.

They were in the middle of eating when Theodore suddenly looked at Elspeth and asked solemnly, "Elspeth, it has been half a year. Which of my sons are you most interested in?"

Margot, who was sitting beside him, laughed. "Of course, it's Callum. You must not know because you've been on business trips, but Callum and Elspeth get along very well. If not for how long Callum takes to ease up to people and Elspeth's bashfulness, they would have gotten together already."

Theodore was not surprised by his wife's words. After all, Callum was the best successor that he had trained; Elspeth being interested in Callum only proved that she had good taste.

"Is that true, Elspeth?" Theodore looked at Elspeth with a smile. "Do you like Callum?"

Not knowing what to say, Elspeth only lowered her head, but the tips of her ears had turned slightly pink.

Blake muttered grumpily on the side, "It's not like Elspeth is Callum's private property. What makes you think she can only like Callum? What if she likes me?"

Theodore didn't expect Blake to have feelings for Elspeth too. As the father of both men, he couldn't help feeling conflicted.

Blake would end up getting hurt if Callum and Elspeth liked each other.

Somehow, this reminded him of his younger years when he lost to Elspeth's father and had to settle with loving Elspeth's mother one-sidedly.

However, these were his sons they were talking about. He couldn't pick a side between Callum and Blake, but he also couldn't bear the thought of Blake being hurt. Arthur pursed his lips just then. "I like Elspeth too," he announced.

"Me too." Edmund added.

Theodore's gaze promptly fell on Max, who looked embarrassed as he turned the other way. "I don't, so don't

look at me."

Theodore was surprised to replace that four out of his five sons were interested in Elspeth.

After thinking about it, he could only come up with a final decision. "Let's do it this way. Elspeth can choose whomever she wants. The rest of you shall withdraw voluntarily."
