Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Chapter 667

Chapter 667 I'll Destroy It

"No. I found your photo in Daddy's room, so I guessed he must have liked you." Then, Cameron looked directly at Elspeth before continuing, "Elsie, he genuinely likes you. Are you sure you don't want to be my mommy?"

Nevertheless, she was at a loss for words as she stared into his solemn eyes. Then, she said, "Well, Cam-"

"Not only does Daddy like you, but so do I. I don't want any other woman to be my mommy. I only want you. I think you're a nice person."

Elspeth chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this. "Cam, I don't think you can decide on your own. You should ask what your Daddy thinks. I'm also married. I can't be your mommy."

However, Cameron frowned at that and asked, "Why not? You may be married, but you can get a divorce."

A divorce... Do children nowadays believe divorce is as simple as ABC? She nearly choked when she heard that. "Enough, Cam. Don't talk about this anymore. I love Uncle Callum, and I will not divorce him." Nevertheless, the disappointment on Cameron's face was hard to hide as he asked again, "Are you sure you can't get a divorce and become my mommy?"

"No."

In any case, this was merely the perspective of a child. When he saw that Elspeth disagreed with his suggestion, he had no choice but to push the idea to the back of his mind. Then, he insisted, "Okay, but you must still accompany me to Daddy's study. I want to give you a tour."

Ultimately, she couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to comply.

Edmund's study room was not particularly large, but it was well-organized. The entire room's decor felt deathly cold, just like him.

Then, Elspeth walked over to the desk, and as expected, there was a photo of her there. However, it was a photograph of her taken from behind, and the only part of her face that could be seen was the side of her head as she turned to look at the camera. Cameron has sharp eyes, as he immediately recognizes me in the photo, whereas I may not have done so.

After that, she picked up the photo and looked at it intently. Due to her interest in the picture, the boy hurried over to talk to her about it. "This is the photo, Elsie. Look... Is the person in this photo you?" She nodded and replied, "It's me."

"Sometimes, I wonder if I am actually Daddy's son."

Cameron's confession shocked Elspeth as she quickly said, "Cam, you are his son. Of course, you are. Why would you think that?"

"I always feel like he's not the kind of man who would have a relationship and a child with just anyone."

She was about to nod when she suddenly recalled witnessing Edmund getting intimate with another woman while at home a long time ago. That memory instantly dispelled her initial thought. Edmund is not as pure as the boy believed... However, she could not say anything like that to a child, so she nodded agreeably. Instead, she stated, "Your father is a good man."

"Since you I won't be my mommy, let's forget about this."

Then, as though Cameron was struck by a sudden thought, he asked happily, "How about I give you a present?"

Before Elspeth could respond, he ran out of the room. She had planned to call him back, but he ran so fast that he soon disappeared from her view. Thus, her only option was to wander around the room and replace something to occupy her while waiting.

Suddenly, she spotted a familiar photograph in the corner of the room; it was of Callum. There was no doubt in her mind that Edmund cared for his brother. She knew Edmund was reluctant to open up about his feelings, acting as if nothing mattered to him and even picking fights with Callum. Moreover, she could tell Edmund was just a kid who wanted his brother's attention.

While contemplating this, Elspeth's lips gradually spread into a smile.

At this moment, Cameron ran in with a toy and handed it to her. It was a plush bear that looked quite cute. "I found this in Daddy's room. It's hard to believe someone like him would like a toy like this." Yes, indeed. I couldn't have imagined it either. While holding it, the plush bear began singing as if she had pressed a button. This voice sounds familiar... Isn't this my voice?

Meanwhile, there was an enthralled look on the boy's face as he listened to the familiar tune. Then, he said, "I knew the singer was you from the moment I heard that song, Elsie. You see? He truly loves you. When I arrived at this home, that bear was kept in his room, and he would sleep with it."

Her blood instantly froze, and she was speechless for a brief moment. Then, she uttered, "Cam-"

Elspeth was about to say something when a loud roar echoed behind her.

"Cameron!"

When he heard this, Cameron immediately recoiled with a terrified expression. "Daddy, I—"

She turned toward the voice, and, as she had suspected, Edmund stood there with a furious expression.

He was standing at the study room's doorway at the time, and when he saw Elspeth holding the plush bear, he was at a loss for words. Thus, he turned and let his anger loose on Cameron. "Who permitted you to take what is mine and give it to other people?" he shrieked.

On the other hand, the boy had never witnessed Edmund so enraged, so Edmund's roars terrified him. "I'm sorry, Daddy. I had no idea you were so concerned about it."

Edmund nearly burst out laughing in anger. "Also, what did you just say to Miss Elspeth? You told her to get divorced and marry me, right?"

Then, Cameron ducked his head and looked at the floor, unable to look his father in the eyes, and said softly, "I was only joking. I know that's impossible."

"Go to your room now and think about what you have done!"

With a quick nod, Cameron dashed out of the room in a way that made it seem like he was running away.

When the boy left the room, Edmund approached Elspeth with an apologetic look. He felt awkward and befuddled when he noticed she was still holding the plush bear. After that, he said, "I'm sorry. Cameron is a playful boy. I hope you'll forgive his nonsensical words. He's an immature young boy, so I hope you won't hold this against him."

His floundering made her laugh helplessly before she handed the bear to him. "I know. I never took those words to heart anyway," she said.

While he heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes still shone with a glimmer of disappointment. "Good. It's great that you can forgive him."

However, Elspeth inquired, pointing to the bear in his hands, "About this-"

After hearing this, Edmund tightened his grip around the bear and stated, "Don't worry. I'll destroy it."
