Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Never Considered Marriage

Elspeth scrolled her phone for a while and realized what she ordered wasn't exactly nutritious. So, she let out an awkward cough before asking, "Do you like Mcdonald's?"

Callum wasn't expecting her to order that and was in a bit of a daze. "It's okay if you don't like it. We can order something else.'

She might as well spend it since he gave her 1500 just now.

"It's alright. It's just that it isn't healthy. So, I wouldn't recommend you to eat that often," he reprimanded her slightly.

"Okay. Okay. Just this once." She covered her ears in surrender.

The food was quickly delivered, and Elspeth went down to pick it up. When she returned, she was faced with Callum's gloomy face.

His dark eyes were locked on her as he furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Was the delivery guy up to something? He was standing too close to you."

She could feel the vein on her forehead throb when she heard that. But she still patiently explained to him, "It was unintentional."

Unintentional? He was displeased as he recalled the lecherous gaze of the delivery guy.

To make things worse, Elspeth wore a sexy tight dress, and her body was on display for all to see.

That made his blood boil as he demanded,

"Don't ever get delivery anymore. Unfortunately, Elspeth was usually busy with work and wasn't good at cooking. So, ordering delivery was her lifestyle.

She crossed her arms at her chest and tilted her chin upward, "What am I going to eat then if I can't get delivery? I don't know how to cook either. Are you going to cook for me?"

As soon as she finished her sentence, she realized she should have bitten her tongue before saying something like that. How could she say that when she just experienced the chaos that Callum created in the kitchen?

"Sure. I'll cook for you."

Elspeth almost choked on her saliva. "It's alright. There's no need to go too far."

She sighed heavily as she thought back to the messy kitchen. The headache she had to go through when she cleaned the kitchen... Once was truly enough.

"I learn how to cook. It'll be different the next time," Callum softened his tone as he saw her expression and knew she was terrified of what happened in the kitchen just now.

Yet, she suddenly tilted her head and questioned, "Are you trying to get my house keys?"

Now, Callum's face turned red. "No."

Sh*t. She found out. Soon, he realized that he was being too obvious. So, he narrowed his dark eyes as a dangerous glint flashed in them.

Finally, he asked hoarsely, "Why? Can't I have your house keys even though I'm your boyfriend?"

Elspeth couldn't help but regret her words. She just dug a hole for herself. Nonetheless, Callum didn't think that was the case. Instead, he only wanted her house keys to prevent the incident from the last time from happening again. He was furious every time he thought about that time Jethro came running to her house and slept over.

She knew why he said that and felt a little embarrassed as she thought about how she hid Jethro's sleepover from him. So, she turned around, grabbed the spare keys in the living room's drawer, and threw them at him.

"Here. They're yours."

She wasn't worried about anything else since she wouldn't let anyone else enter her house any longer.

Callum very naturally kept them in his pockets and took out a different set of keys. "These are my house keys for all of my villas, car, and the safe."

Elspeth was taken aback by his swift action. She genuinely didn't expect him to hand them over to her so quickly. "Isn't this too sudden?"

Callum narrowed his eyes as they glinted playfully. "These all belonged to you a long time ago. It's just that I didn't have the opportunity to give them to you."

She was the woman he had set his eyes on, and it was only a matter of time before he handed over the keys to her.

"Hehe. Thanks! I'll take good care of them."

Then, she put the keys away into her bag.

Once they finished dinner, Elspeth assumed that Callum would leave, but he showed no signs of ever leaving.

Then, a bad premonition came to her mind.

"Don't tell me that you're going to follow Jethro's footsteps and not leave tonight."

Callum's eyes twinkled as he refuted in a deep husky tone, "What? I can't do what he can do?"

Just as I feared. She slapped her forehead and felt a little resigned in the face of his logic.

"Then, are you going to sleep in the living room as he did?"

She immediately noticed he wasn't too happy when she said that. So, she changed her mind.

"Actually, this villa has quite a few guest rooms. You can pick any of them."

Regardless, Callum was still stonily silent after her suggestion.

So, she asked tentatively, "What? Is there something wrong?"

His eyes flared with a passion that seemed to burn her as they landed on her. "I want to sleep with you."

With me? Elspeth almost choked on his words. "I don't have the habit of sharing a bed." Besides, doesn't he know that males and females should keep their distance? "It's decided, then."

Callum looked at his wristwatch to see that it was already 8.00PM. "Yea. It's almost time for bed. Go shower and get ready to sleep."

Elspeth stood at the shower's entrance and retorted, "That's not right. We're not even married or engaged."

She wouldn't do anything that crossed the line before marriage, even if it was Callum.

A playful smirk spread on his face as he saw the panic on her face. "Then, what if I insist on sleeping together?"

Her red face went beet red. "You jerk."

"There's nothing wrong with sleeping with my fiancée." Then, as if he realized something, he leaned down and asked, "Are you saying that you want a title? If you're willing, we can register our marriage tomorrow."

Things were moving way too fast.

Elspeth had never thought of marrying Callum so quickly. So, she unconsciously shook her head. "I don't want to get married now.'

Callum narrowed his eyes as frustration suddenly rose in him. "You don't want to get married now, or you don't want to get married to me."

She was scared stiff at his sudden change of attitude.

"Of course not. I just haven't thought about marriage for the time being."

He frowned, not pleased at her answer. Am I not attractive enough that she didn't have the urge to marry me after so long? So many women want to marry me, but why is this woman so carefree about it?
