When Elspeth and Callum returned, Hank and Yelena had already set up the grill. They had started a fire by using the woods nearby.
"Where did you guys go? What took you so long?" Yelena thought that something had happened to the duo. When she saw them, she quickly rushed toward Elspeth and checked her. Only was she at ease when she saw that Elspeth was fine. "Just gather the woods nearby next time. It'll be enough for us."
Elspeth nodded and smiled. "Okay. I got it."
Elspeth and Callum put the woods they collected aside and sat down.
The fire was burning brightly. The group sat by the fireplace and ate the grilled fish while chatting.
Callum raised his beer against Hank and asked, "When are you guys getting married?"
Yelena felt that it was too early for them to discuss this topic. Immediately, she blushed and said, "We are far from getting married. I'm still working on my career, and Hank had just started his law firm… "
"I never said it was too soon," Hank replied coldly.
"We are only twenty-two, though. It's too soon to get married. Plus, I'm not ready yet." Yelena was slightly afraid of the idea of marriage.
"It's fine. I'll wait for you." Hank knew she didn't want to get married. Thus, he stopped bringing up the topic.
Seeing that it was getting awkward, Elspeth said, "I found a nice spot by the lake just now. Do you guys want to go and see it?"
"I still have some business to deal with, so I'll pass." Hank's attitude was cold.
Initially, Callum wanted to accompany Elspeth. However, he got a call from the company. Thus, he could only step aside and answer the call. In the end, only Yelena accompanied her to the lake.
As they sat by the lake, Yelena kicked the pebble into the water.
Elspeth could tell there was something on Yelena's mind. Thus, being the trusted friend she was, she scooted closer to Yelena and held her hands. "Would you mind telling me why you are opposed to getting married?"
Yelena remained silent. She knew her mother was unhappy after marriage and was living in misery. Whenever her parents spent time together, they would keep their distance from each other. Hence, Yelena felt that marriage would cause love to fade away and become dull. This was the reason she was afraid of getting married. She wished that things would be the same after getting married.
"I just feel that people change after they are married." Yelena struggled to express her inner thoughts. "After my dad married my mom, his attitude changed drastically. Mom told me that she was happy when she was dating Dad. However, things changed after they got married. Now, she could only be a dutiful wife and was restrained from doing many things." She could tell that her mother was void of happiness.
"It's natural that dating is a matter of freedom. Still, you need to be responsible for dealing with daily life after marriage. Romance is important, but so is reality. "
Yelena lowered her head and remained silent.
"Don't you believe in yourself? Or is it Hank that you don't trust?"
Elspeth called out for her, but there was no response. At this moment, she realized that Yelena was in trouble. Hence, she quickly went back to the camp and told the men.
"What? Yelena is missing?" Hank emitted a cold aura when he heard the news.
On the other hand, Callum was relatively calm. "Where did you last see her?" he asked patiently.
"She told me that she wanted to go to the restroom alone, so I told her there was a public restroom nearby. Then, she disappeared in the restroom." Elspeth felt a pang of guilt as she spoke. After all, this wouldn't have happened if she had accompanied Yelena.
When Hank heard her words, he couldn't help but blame her. "You know that she is reckless. Why didn't you follow her? We are in the wilds, and she can't fight…"
"She is an adult, yet she can't take care of herself. As her boyfriend, don't you think you are also responsible for this?" Callum wouldn't allow Hank to scold Elspeth.
Hank said nothing and quickly made a phone call.
Yelena had gone missing for a short time, so they might still be able to find her.
Elspeth and Callum went back to the restroom and tried to look for any clues.
Suddenly, Elspeth saw something on the floor. It was a cigarette butt!
