Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 335

Without saying a word, Callum put the phone on mute and turned around to look at Elspeth behind him,

who of course recognized whom the voice belonged to. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she instantly

pulled a long face. “Coming all the way here after you, eh? Seems like she’s really not gonna give up

on you.”Jealous as she sounded, her response pleased Callum very much. He smilingly lifted a lock of

her hair and toyed with it in his hand. “What’s the matter? Are you being jealous?”Elspeth smacked his

hand away with a hard slap. Smoothing her hair with her fingers, she retorted sarcastically, “How could

I dare to be jealous? Say, did you mute the phone because you’re afraid she might hear that I’m with

you?”“No, it’s not. It’s just that I don’t want to cause you any trouble.” Callum’s voice dripped with

helplessness and affection as he leaned over and pinched her face.“Hmph!” Elspeth disagreed with a

snort.Hearing no one speak on the other end of the line, Emma grew even more anxious. “Callum, I’m

here to attend the Fashion Week, and it occurred to me that you’re here as well. I don’t know anyone

else around here, so could you come over to pick me up?”Any man would have been unable to turn

down such a request, but Callum remained imperturbable as usual. “I’m busy at the moment. How

about I let my assistant pick you up instead?”He was apparently giving her the brush-off.After hearing

this, Elspeth finally mumbled, “Mm-hmm,” in satisfaction.Sharp as Emma was, she immediately took

notice of it. “Callum, is someone with you over there? How come I heard a woman’s voice just

now?”“I’m in a meeting.”Callum said he was in a meeting, but in reality, his hands were naughtily

moving along Elspeth’s fingers. Feeling the softness of her fingertips, he couldn’t help but squeeze and

toy with them.“Callum!” Elspeth warned under her breath before pushing him away. She whispered

angrily, “Can’t you behave yourself a little?!” Such is how men always misbehave around women!“Why

should I behave myself around you? You’re my girlfriend, no?”He had never realized before that her

hands were actually so soft to the touch. Feeling turned on at once, he turned down the phone’s

volume and carelessly tossed the phone aside. Then, he hooked his arm around Elspeth’s waist,

pulling her into his arms.Pushing her hands against the man’s chest, which was coming closer and

closer, Elspeth naturally changed the subject, pleading, “Callum, let go of me. Emma is still on the

phone. What if she overhears us?”Callum lowered his head; his eyes were dark and inscrutable in the

dim light of the room. “Don’t you want her to overhear us?”Elspeth looked up and happened to meet his

gaze. Her heart skipped a beat; the next instant, he pressed his lips against hers with the intensity of a

storm.Intermittent sounds were coming from the phone left on the soft quilt, but they didn’t affect the

couple at all. After a long time, the sounds gradually died away until they were ultimately reduced to

complete silence.Their lips tangled together, Elspeth and Callum smooched amorously with dreamy

looks in their eyes. Just when Callum was about to proceed to the next step, she suddenly put out her

hands and pressed them against his chest. “Alright, this is enough.”“Why don’t we continue?” He had

no intention of stopping at this point.She shot him a black look. “What if you suddenly lost your

emotional memories again like before? What about me?”Only then did Callum give up. Suppressing his

urges, he gently wiped away the saliva at the corner of her mouth. “Okay.”“What about Emma, then?”

Elspeth asked. Now that Emma had arrived in Eden, her purpose was obvious: she was after Callum.

Well, it’s just that she’ll probably give me trouble again now that she’s here. Elspeth felt a terrible

headache coming on at the thought of this woman.“Don’t worry. If she dares to do anything to you, I

won’t let her get away with it.”Her heart fluttered at the man’s resolute choice. “Aren’t you gonna pick

her up at the airport, then?”“Why would I? She and I aren’t related or anything,” Callum replied, looking

just as usual.Only then did Elspeth nod in satisfaction. “Alright, then, I’m going downstairs. Gotta get

back to work, you know,” she said. Then, she stood up and prepared to leave.Just then, however,

Callum suddenly pinned her down in bed from behind. “Didn’t I tell you not to work at such a place

anymore?”Elspeth said helplessly, “Once I get my hands on the scimitar, I won’t stay at such a place

anymore. That I promise you, okay?”Callum’s expression eased at last when he heard the promise.

“Okay. If you need anything, I can help you with it.”…In the airport lobby, Emma had waited for half an

hour, but Callum was still nowhere to be seen.It was particularly chilly in Eden this season, but she

purposely dressed in stockings and a mini skirt to leave a good impression on Callum. Thinly clad at

this very moment, she looked especially hilarious and pitiful among the crowd, who were all dressed in

cotton-padded clothes. “Achoo!” She couldn’t help sneezing while growing more and more

resentful.She wasn’t lying when she told Callum that she didn’t know her way around here. But now,

seeing how the man had yet to arrive after a long time, she knew he probably wouldn’t come over and

pick her up. Moreover, judging by the indistinct female voice on the other end, she was almost certain

that he was probably with Elspeth at this very moment.The more she thought about this, the more

upset she was. Feeling depressed deep down, she called Arthur right away, asking, “Arthur, I’m now at

the airport. Can you come over and pick me up?”At this moment, Arthur was making food in his villa,

racking his brains over the dietary restrictions of everyone in the villa. The moment he heard Emma’s

words, he felt a bit irritable. “I’ll let my assistant pick you up.”What a familiar response and a familiar

excuse! Anger instantly blazed up in Emma. “Why are all of you so busy?”At this, Arthur realized that

she must have turned to Callum beforehand and gotten rejected, which was why she had to put up with

the second best by choosing him instead. His heart chilled at the realization, and he answered back,

“Does everyone have to idle around waiting for you?”Emma had never seen him like this before. His

voice was chilly, and his manner was distant. Ever since he went overseas with Elspeth, his attitude

toward her had changed drastically. It’s Elspeth again! All of them are turning their backs on me

because of her!Emma lost her sense of superiority at once. For the first time in her life, she felt so

humiliated, and her hatred for Elspeth grew as a result. In a fit of exasperation, she flung her phone

directly to the ground.The loud clatter of the phone breaking into pieces attracted many onlookers

around her.In an instant, a wave of embarrassment washed over Emma. Glancing left and right, she

noticed that everyone was staring at her peculiarly. Going crimson in the face, she left the airport in a

hurry.…When Elspeth returned home, Arthur was making food in the kitchen, his slender fingers

clenching the spatula as he did a casual stir-fry with an apron on. Despite his casual cooking posture, it

was apparent that the food in the skillet was absolutely mouth-watering.Having finished cooking the last

dish, he turned around to dish it out, only to see Elspeth hiding behind the kitchen door. “Go wash your

hands,” he said. “Miss Joneson and Isabel are out shopping today. They went out early this morning.”
