Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 254

Although Eric was against it, he chose to keep quiet when he saw how calm Callum was, not to mention Elspeth was smiling at the mention of an engagement. “Alright, since both of you have decided on the engagement, I have no comments. My only request is for my name not to be associated with the both of you once the announcement is made.” He didn’t want to be seen as a simp.“Alright, don’t worry about that. We won’t let your reputation get tainted.” Just then, she suddenly thought of Emma and asked, “Right, I’ve been wanting to ask you this—has Emma been stirring up trouble recently?”“Don’t bring this up. She’s been calling and begging to see me these days. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I changed my number. Right, I’ll send you my new number.” The thought of it gave Eric a headache.Elspeth could understand why Emma was acting that way. If she lost Eric’s backing, she would lose all of her trump cards. Thus, she wouldn’t be that stupid to offend Eric.“Do you like Emma a lot?”Hearing that, Eric scratched his head and replied sluggishly, “I think so. You can say that we have been together for three years. Although she’s my sugar baby, I do have feelings for her.”“In that case, do you know what happened between her and Callum?” Since Eric was her friend, she hoped that he wouldn’t get fooled by Emma even though they weren’t particularly close.Eric saw that coming and answered boldly, “I’m Oil Magnate’s son. Do you think I didn’t run a background check on her before we got together?”With that, he glanced at Callum and said with a smile, “I knew that she hadn’t broken up with Callum when we first got together. However, I wasn’t bothered by it. I always make sure that I get my hands on everything I like, after all.”Callum’s gaze darkened slightly upon hearing that, but his emotions calmed down shortly after.How could he say that outright when Callum is standing next to him? Fearing that Callum would be triggered by the revelation and stab Eric in the chest with a fruit knife, Elspeth quickly changed the topic. “Well, do you know what happened between her and Arthur?”Arthur… A glint of hatred flashed across his eyes at the mention of that name. “Of course, I do,” Eric replied with a smile.“You don’t seem mad about it. Indeed, you are a generous person.”Generous? His smile froze.“You have a great personality since you aren’t mad about that. If it had been Callum…” Before she could continue, she felt Callum glaring at her and immediately shut her

mouth. She meant to say that if Callum had been in Eric’s shoes, he would have killed and decapitated the man.“Although I’m her boyfriend, I dislike being betrayed. That doesn’t mean I love her dearly, okay?”Elspeth was speechless after hearing that.“If she comes after me in the future, will you stand against me?”“I’ll help you, but as a last resort, I hope that you will let her live.”“Got it. Mr. Eric, you sure are a Casanova.” Elspeth chuckled.“Nah, I’m not even that wealthy. I’m nothing compared to you.” Eric laughed. Are you nothing compared to me when it comes to wealth? She didn’t believe him, for she had seen how wealthy he was.“Alright, if there’s nothing else, both of you can leave. I’m going to sleep soon.” After chatting for a while, Elspeth yawned and asked them to go home.“Have a good rest.” Callum stood up and tucked her in, and Eric left after that. Once both men were gone, her expression instantly changed.She immediately made a call to Lisa. “What’s wrong, Elsie? Is there something I can help you with?” the woman asked.“You’re still at Damoria, right?”“Yes, Elsie. Didn’t you ask me to return to the mansion here? Lisa nodded.“That’s right. The reason I asked you to go back was to help me out with something.”“What is it? I’ll do whatever you say.” Lisa seemed intrigued by it.There was a reason why Lisa was loyal to Elspeth. Three years ago, Lisa worked as a cashier in a convenience store since the Dawson Family’s business couldn’t be sustained. She worked as a staff in the store to earn a living. Fortunately, Elspeth spotted her talent and offered her a job. Since Lisa had a talent for hacking, Elspeth made Harper take her in as his apprentice. The training carried on until today and being able to work for Elspeth was the most important thing to Lisa.“Please investigate if Matthew and Hex are up to anything recently.” Lisa was surprised to hear that since both men were Callum’s best friends. Although Lisa had her suspicions, she accepted the assignment without doubting Elspeth’s decision.Elspeth continued staying at the hospital for the next few days. She felt uncomfortable staying there, so she begged Callum for ages before he finally agreed to let her return to the hotel and recuperate.“I’m a doctor too, so why won’t you let me go home? I can no longer stand the horrible smell of disinfectant in the hospital.”After returning to the hotel, Elspeth frowned while rubbing her waist as she sat on the couch. Her body was sore after lying in the hospital for the past few days.“I can see that you’re trying to sneak out. What are you trying to do?” Callum was worried about her since he knew very well how willful she normally was.“Alright, let’s go back and finish filming the drama.”“No. TheThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

accident happened only recently, and Arthur might try to hurt you again.” Callum shook his head.“But we’ve delayed the filming for half a month, though. If we delay it any further, I’m afraid we won’t have time to complete the filming. Since Emma has returned on set, we can no longer put it off.” Both dramas would be aired at the same time, so there was a competition between them.Callum knew very well that Elspeth was a competitive person. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, he replied calmly, “You’ll have to agree to several conditions first.”“What are they?”“Firstly, you cannot do anything dangerous, such as falling into the water. You can’t film scenes like that.”“Fine, Fine.” She nodded profusely.“Secondly, you are not allowed to get too close or talk to male celebrities except for work- related matters.”Elspeth’s mouth twitched upon hearing that. “Is this about the time I shared a cookie with him?” This man is vindictive!
