Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 288

Elspeth strolled over. The sky outside was endlessly blue, just like the ocean. In fact, the two looked like they were joined together. Standing next to Elias, she took a deep breath and took a deep breath of the strong sea breeze along with cigarette smoke.“I don’t like people who smoke.”Elspeth frowned and took a few steps back. Seeing that, Elias waved his hand, fanning away the smoke along with the wind. “Wait a while, the smoke will be gone soon.”The other girl was standing not far away, unwilling to leave. She simply just stood there quietly and watched them get along. Elspeth turned her head abruptly and saw that the girl hadn’t left yet. More importantly, the girl was staring fixedly at them. Elspeth couldn’t help revealing a smile and asked, “Elias, have you been flirting with that girl?”“How would I know? I don’t know her very well.”Elspeth smiled and stopped talking about the girl.When the girl behind saw that only Elspeth looked back at her and Elias didn’t respond at all, she stomped her feet angrily.“By the way, what did you call me here for?”“I simply wanted to ask you some questions.” He leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. “Tell me, who exactly is Edmund, and why did you recognize me as him at first sight?”In fact, his serious and stubborn appearance right now was exactly the same as Edmund’s. Elspeth couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. She then reached out and wanted to find the phone in her pocket to show him Edmund’s photos. However, she found nothing. Only then did she realize that her phone might have been destroyed by seawater long ago. The ring on her hand too had long since become an ordinary ring due to being in seawater for a long time.“Have you heard of the Winthrop Family from Damoria?”Elias frowned, “The Winthrop Family from Damoria… I have heard of them a little bit, but I have never come into contact with them. I was born in Blaydal and I went abroad with my parents after that. What? Is there really another person who looks exactly like me in this world?”“That’s right. Except for your tone and demeanor, everything else is exactly the same. Oh, no. That’s not right. Edmund has a mole at the corner of his eye, and he speaks more viciously than you.”The more Elspeth looked, the more she felt that there must be an inextricable relationship between the two even if they had never met. Could it be that…“Now, there are only two possibilities. First, I am actually a descendant of the Winthrop Family, or second, Edmund is a descendant of theContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Cole Family.”Even though Elias was shocked to hear this, he still analyzed it rationally. “But judging from the current situation, I think the biggest possibility is that Edmund is my brother because my mother said that she gave birth to a pair of twins at the time, but unfortunately, one of the children died of a heart attack, leaving only me alive.”These words set off a huge wave in Elspeth’s heart.“It seems that it is really…” Elspeth murmured.“So, do you have any plans?” Elias let go of the railing and walked toward her step by step. “For example, introduce Edmund to me?”Elspeth nodded. “That’s for sure. When I return to Damoria, I’ll introduce you guys. Edmund will be so shocked he won’t be able to say a word.”It might be a good thing to temporarily shut up that spiteful guy.“Okay. It’s a bit cold after staying here for a long time. Let’s go back. I just asked the kitchen to make some food. Do you want to try it?”Elspeth took a step back, keeping a reasonable distance from him. “No need. I’m not hungry now.” “Don’t rush to refuse. The chef on my ship is an excellent cook. He just made some food, so come and taste it.”A smile appeared on the corner of Elias’ mouth as he said that. He gently held Elspeth’s sleeve before pulling her toward the dining hall.When Elspeth saw the dining hall, she was completely stunned.Just made some food? This is a full banquet!Seeing Elias’ unconcerned appearance, she knew that this must be the normal lifestyle of the Cole Family. She felt that this last name was very familiar as if she had heard it somewhere.“Sit down and eat together.”Elspeth smiled a little nervously, but she still chose a seat a little closer to him and sat down. She simply wanted to chat with him more conveniently.In the next second, a bitter and mean voice suddenly sounded.“Hey, why are you sitting so close to Mr. Cole? You’re not interested in him, are you? Let me tell you that Mr. Cole already has a fiancée, so don’t be a homewrecker here.”Elspeth turned her head and found that the familiar voice belonged to that arrogant girl in a traditional costume. It was only after scanning around that she noticed everyone else was wearing normal work clothes except for the girl in traditional clothing.“I also have a fiancé, so please show some respect to me when you speak,” Elspeth said lightly. Her voice was not loud, but it was very imposing. The girl was slightly taken aback. She didn’t expect Elspeth to have a fiancé, so she was even a little jealous.Even though she has a fiancé, she’s still secretly interested in Mr. Cole behind her fiancé’s back! This woman is so good-looking, so I’m sure she’s up to no good!The girl condemned Elspeth in her heart.At this time, Elias, who was sitting beside them,

couldn’t stand it any longer. He casually placed his knife and fork on the dinner plate with a frown, a trace of coldness evident in his eyes.“Bianca, stop talking.”“Mr. Cole, you have never talked to me like this before, but today, you actually scolded me because of a woman.”Bianca was very annoyed, feeling that her long-standing special treatment from him was destroyed by this woman.Elias sighed slightly at Elspeth, then raised his glass toward her. “I’m sorry. I should’ve disciplined her better. I hope you don’t mind.”Elspeth shook her head, raised her wine glass, and clinked it against Elias’.“She’s just a little girl and looks underage. Why would I take her seriously?”After hearing this, Bianca immediately became upset. “Who are you calling underage? I’m 19 years old now.”“Oh, you’re still too young,” said Elspeth, even though she was not much older than Bianca either.Bianca looked left and right and found that no one spoke up for her. She stomped her feet angrily and left. This little issue didn’t disrupt the meal. Immediately after that, Elias handed Elspeth a dish and smiled slightly.“This dish is very delicious and I like it very much. Please try it.”Elspeth looked at the dish and swallowed her saliva.“To be honest, I don’t like seafood.”She was vigilant and didn’t tell him about her seafood allergy. After all, it was not a good thing to let other people know too much of one’s weaknesses, even if he had not been a threat to her so far. Nevertheless, Elias was smart, and he knew what was going on just by looking at her eyes, so he handed her another dish.“Then try this one—”Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside.Elias frowned and was about to go out to check the situation when the door was suddenly pushed open.
