Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 313

Elspeth followed Arthur into the villa, but the moment she got inside, someone shrieked in a shrill voice,

" Why did you bring her here, Arthur?"

Arthur smiled and hid his disappointment for Emma. "Kidnapped her, to be exact."

Oh. Emma calmed down a little, but she was still incensed. Then, she noticed that Elspeth wasn't even

tied up at all. "I thought she was kidnapped."

"What? Were you expecting to see me all tied up?" Elspeth smirked mockingly.

How dare she take that tone with me? She's a captive! Emma gnashed her teeth furiously. "You're a

captive. I'd lay low if I were you."

"Hey. your simp opted not to tie me up. Why don't you ask him why? Oh, wait, I know. Perhaps your

simp doesn't love you anymore!"

Can she stop calling me that? Arthur gnashed his teeth. "Sharp tongue. Elspeth." He was angry, but he

didn't punish Elspeth.

Emma noticed that change and her heart sank. "I never saw you as a simp. You have to get mad at

that, Arthur. She just used a slur."

She was trying to fan the flames, but unbeknownst to her. Arthur was no longer the old him. "It's alright.

I've already captured her. Just let her do what she wants." Arthur shrugged. There was even a hint of

affection in his tone.

"But..." Emma felt a part of her heart getting torn away. For some reason, she felt that Arthur, who had

been giving everything he had to her, was going to leave her any moment.

"Cahn down. She's part of the plan." Arthur huddled closer to her and patted her head. There was love

in his eyes, but it was fake, of course.

Knowing that the love was fake, Elspeth chuckled.

Emma bristled. "What are you laughing at?"

"You're so adorably naive," mocked Elspeth.

"Alright, calm down. You're going to many Callum soon. Ignore what the captive says."

Emma was delighted that Arthur said that, but then a hint of panic followed. Arthur never wanted me to

many Callum, yet he doesn't care now. Does he not love me anymore? Was Elspeth telling the truth?

"So, what's the plan, Arthur?"

Arthur sneered and looked at Elspeth. "I'm taking her abroad."

Elspeth froze. Abroad? But I never agreed to that. "Only when she's far enough to never bother you

guys can you and Callum be together without having to worry about her." Arthur smiled bitterly. "You

don't have to care about me. I'll just disappear from your life, never to speak to you again."

Arthur was doing everything for Emma, which made Emma feel a little guilty. I can't believe I doubted

him when all he wanted was for me to be happy. Even though she didn't like him, she was still moved.

If there's a next life, I'll date him. Well, if people like Callum aren't around, anyway. She stood up and

looked at him with anticipation. "Thank you for your help. Arthur. If you need anything in the future, just

call. I'll do everything I can to help."

It was genuine affection, but it came too late.

A hint of impatience flashed in Arthur's eyes, but he replaced it with love quickly to avoid being

suspected by Emma. "Thank you."

Ugh, look at them acting lovey-dovey. Elspeth plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV to

binge-watch some shows. Not like I can escape. Might as well have some fun.

Soon, it was six in the evening. Knowing that staying any longer would be inappropriate, Emma stood

up and straightened her clothes out. When she noticed Elspeth enjoying her show, a hint of anger

flared in her. "Arthur, I hate that woman. You have to teach her a lesson for me." She held Arthur's arm,

then swayed it and buried it between her breasts while pouting.

Arthur wrapped his arm around her waist, his eyes filled with love. "Want to stay for a bit?"

No. I'm Callum's fiancee now. If I do anything with him, it'd be a stain on my image. Emma fidgeted and

thumped him with a fist, then she put some distance between them. She then said apologetically. "It's

already six. If I don't leave, my manager is going to suspect something. My career is just starting to

rise. If the paparazzi see me coming out of a man's house alone, they're going to make a scandal out

of it. See you next time, Arthur." She hugged him and kissed him on liis lips.

Arthur nodded and let her leave.

Once Emma was gone, Elspeth winked at him. "Player." She could see that he had lost all interest in

her, but still he was willing to play along.

"I can play with you if you want."

That angered Elspeth. "Shut it. Arthur. I don't like talking to scum."

"Yet you still followed me home." But then Arthur laughed. "Oops, sorry. You were kidnapped."

Elspeth shot him a look. "Shut it."

Arthur didn't want to anger her, or it would be bad. Unlike Emma, Elspeth wouldn't give in just from

sweet talking. One false move and she would attack him. "Let's make a deal."

Finally. Elspeth got up and turned the volume down to zero. Curious, she asked. "Finally cutting to the

chase. So, tell me, why did you take me abroad?"

"To annoy Callum. To take satisfaction in knowing that the love of his life is in my hands." Arthur smiled.

"And she's going to be engaged to me soon. If he somehow awakens liis love for you and finds out

what has happened. I wonder how he will react."

Elspeth tensed up. Engaged?
