Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 447

Elspeth had the urge to run away.

Staying where she was might lead to her dying or suffering really badly.

However, Callum's reaction made her too afraid of acting rashly. All she could do was cautiously observe him.

He forcefully suppressed the fury boiling in him and stared deep into her innocent-looking eyes. His voice was cold when he eventually spoke.

"Close your eyes."

Although she was confused, she still nodded and closed her eyes.

Was she going to be beaten up?

The next thing she knew, a hot and wet kiss overwhelmed her entire mind.

His kiss was so hard and heavy that it felt like he was punishing her instead.

She did not dare open her eyes. Her only choice was to act as a conduit for his anger.

It was a few long moments before the lips pressing against hers suddenly vanished. She dazedly opened her eyes to see the dark look on his face had somewhat vanished. It was only then that her anxiety lessened.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me, just why did you come to me?"

Naturally, she knew to seize the chance given and hurriedly nodded. "Of course, it's because I love you. I missed you. That's why I'm here."

He happily nodded. "If you talk crap again, I won't stop at this."

Hiss…

Elspeth could briefly imagine what might happen, and the fantasy made her break out in a cold sweat.

"I understand."

He stood up, pulling her to her feet as well. "Well, it's getting late. I'll drive you home."

The sky had darkened sometime during their conversation. The streetlights were all lit up now as they entered into the night.

On the drive back, Callum focused on the road, never turning around to face her. "While I know what is going on, that does not mean you can do whatever you want. You have to tell me before you do anything."

He had a few necessary rules to enforce when it comes to her.

If he missed out on a single reminder, she would begin to do things behind his back again.

Her lips twitched. Somehow, his mind would always be on a different train of thought.

"Don't worry. I will."

Callum thought her answer rather nonchalant though, so he turned to look at her and solemnly said, "So, what are we?"

Elspeth hesitated. "Lovers?"

"Wrong. You are now my fiancée." Then, he added, "Hence, any man that tries to get close to you will be my enemy."

Why did it sound like he was warning her?

"You mean Gilbert?" she asked tentatively.

He did not speak and instead indicated for her to continue.

"Jethro?"

His face darkened slightly, but he did not speak.

"Is there anyone else? Let me think…"

The more he thought about her response, the more annoyed he felt, and the greater his headache. Why was he getting more ready to kill as she continued spewing names?

"Enough. You don't have to say anything. Anyway, as long as a man tries to get together with you, I want you to stay away from him."

Naturally, she did not dare to continue the topic. "Don't worry," she said, fervently nodding. "I will keep an eye out."

"If you do, then why were you so close to Jethro before?"

He even had to personally threaten and warn off Jethro, but he did not even know if the kid took his threat to heart.

Even though she said that, she knew that she was just unwilling to get too close to anyone else.

He chuckled. "You do not have the time, or you do not want to? What could have made you block me without warning?"

He did not know what she had gone through at all. All he knew was that she suddenly vanished and was nowhere to be found.

Every night, he would pass by her house to check if her lights were on.

He spent nearly a month in that routine. Hence, he would not have knocked on her door if he did not spot her lights turn on.

"Jethro, I was truly busy. Please don't be like this."

"Do you know how worried I was?" he asked loudly. "Out of nowhere, you blocked me and I couldn't find you. I've been staking out your house for almost a month. Every night, I wait till dawn before leaving. Do you know how hard life was in that one month?"

Guilt squirreled its way into her heart. She had not expected him to react in this manner.

However, she knew she could not show any remorse. She would only be leading him on.

Her greatest desire was for him to stay away from her.

"I've already told you to stop being so self-centered and doing only what you want. I will not fall in love with you."

Anyone who heard what he said might feel bad for him at the very least.

On the contrary, her response immediately popped his bubble.

Jethro was shocked to hear her say that. Then, he let out a peal of crazed laughter. "Self-centered… Do you think I'm only doing this for myself?"

There was a miserable quality to his laugh.

Elspeth sighed. "You're drunk. Go home."

However, when she realized he might not be able to call a cab due to how drunk he was, she added, "If you don't feel up to it, I can drive you back as well."

He looked at her with tears shimmering in his eyes. "Are you feeling bad for me?"
