Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Find Someone Better

"I'm fine, Cayson," Yelena replied. However, regardless of how much she tried to calm herself down and act like her usual self, she couldn't seem to stop her tears from flowing. Cayson felt rather helpless as Yelena wouldn't tell him what was going on. He didn't know how else to comfort her, so he simply sat by her side and patted her on her shoulder while handing her pieces of tissue.

"Stay positive, Yelena. There are a lot of great things in life. We should keep ourselves focused on the good things ahead of us," he said. Yelena tugged her lips into a sneer. "Good things, huh? Why don't I see any good things ahead?" she uttered in a weak tone. Both her relationships had ended in terrible failures. Yelena had always thought that romantic relationships were one of her greatest enemies. I've never done anything wrong, and I've never committed any sins. Why must I go through such suffering? Yelena felt sorry for herself as she thought about this.

Cayson was smart enough to figure things out based on what he knew about her. He could guess that she was struggling with some issues in her relationship after hearing what she said. "Did your boyfriend hurt you? You can share with me," he said.

Yelena shook her head. "I don't have a boyfriend anymore. He broke up with me."

Cayson's heart nearly leaped out of his throat at that moment. He hadn't expected to hear such good news. If she's single now, does that mean that I get to openly express my interest in her? But with Yelena still grieving the loss of her relationship, Cayson knew that he couldn't express too much of his joy then. He didn't want to scare her off. At that thought, Cayson continued to comfort the woman. "I always knew that he wasn't good for you. You shouldn't have been with him from the start. It's okay. I'm sure you'll find someone better after this breakup," he uttered.

Yelena wasn't in the mood to listen to such words—she wasn't looking for someone better at all. After all the challenges she had faced in her romantic life, she felt like she wasn't suited to date at all. However, what she was the most curious about then was what the other girl looked like. What is it about that girl that makes it so hard for Hank to forget about her? He even tried to find a replacement for her, Yelena thought.

As Yelena dried her tears and got to her feet, she came to a firm decision in her heart. "We might have to pause our shoot for two days, Cayson. I need some time to really process my emotions," she said. Cayson knew that Yelena was in no condition to film her scenes, so he nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Cayson was also aware of how this was the perfect opportunity for him. He didn't want to let go of his chance to get closer to her at a time like this. He felt both sorry and hopeful when he saw Yelena's teary and swollen eyes. "Would you like me to keep you company? We could go for a short trip," he offered. He tried to soften his voice to make himself sound more caring and pleasant.

Yelena rarely interacted with him on a daily basis, so she frowned upon hearing his suggestion. "Your schedule is pretty packed, right? I don't think I need you to keep me company," she replied. Cayson was aware of how he might have overstepped his boundaries, so he scratched the tip of his nose awkwardly. "Oh, I was just thinking about how you might feel lonely if you're left alone at a time like this," he said.

She realized how her words might have sounded rather harsh to him, so she beamed and shook her head. "It's fine. I don't need any company," she uttered. Cayson could no longer say much after that. Yelena asked the director for a short break, and she decided that she would travel around just to relax a little. She decided that she would visit the country that she had once vowed to never set foot in again. That country was the place where Max had done a bone marrow transplant for her.

Yelena had no plans of telling Elspeth about her breakup, as she didn't want Elspeth to worry about her, especially since Elspeth had a lot of things to handle on her end. I can't allow Elspeth to worry for me anymore, Yelena thought.

Callum told Elspeth that the reason he had remembered Joella so well was because of how creepy Joella's love letter had sounded. "She had included all sorts of odd and abstract statements that didn't sound like what a young girl would write about. I naturally thought of her as a weirdo after that," he said. He couldn't remember the rest of the love letter, and he threw it away after he finished reading it.

Soon after that, Callum started dating another girl, and he never once accepted anything from Joella again. They no longer interacted with one another after that. He had almost forgotten about her when she reappeared in his life, and he felt rather confused by this entire situation. "Are you saying that the love letter she gave you had sounded rather odd?" Elspeth asked. Love letters can be shy, passionate, sentimental, or thoughtful, but to say that a love letter is odd… Elspeth quickly caught onto the keyword that Callum had uttered.

"It's been a long time, but I briefly recall the descriptions that she had used in the letter. Most of them were really despairing and puzzled. It felt like she was writing a memorial speech more than anything," he said. Elspeth felt her skin tingling upon hearing his words. That does sound pretty unconventional and eerie, she thought.

"So, the fact that she showed up now with a kid who looks similar to you can't be a coincidence, can it?" Elspeth asked.

Callum's gaze darkened at the thought. "If that's the case, then the situation might be worse than we thought," he replied.
