Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 695 A Great Show

For me? Elspeth listened to these somewhat absurd words and paused. "Why would you do this for me?"

"It's all because of Slevin. Despite knowing that you are my legal wife, he used today's fireworks feast to propose to you. I just didn't want to see him get away with it." When Callum said these words, his composure was uncanny.

"You say I'm your wife, but Callum, you also know that I—" Suddenly, she stopped and stared at him, feeling both burdened and moved by his genuineness. After all, he is just a random person who walked into my life, and I don't feel anything toward him.

Then, looking at her guilty expression, Callum stepped forward and gently held her hand. "I know you have amnesia, so I don't want to force anything on you emotionally. Still, I hope you can understand my feelings. Elspeth, I've been waiting for you for five years, and during these five years, I've never given up on our relationship. So, I hope you won't easily give up either, okay?"

At this instant, Elspeth had no reason to resist this. Therefore, she nodded cautiously and slowly, her misty gaze dissipating as she responded with a mix of curiosity and resolve. "I'm willing to give it a shot, whether for your deep affection or… I'm willing to try and remember you."

As she watched him blush in response to her words, fragments of jumbled memories suddenly flashed through her mind. Instinctively, she tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek in the vast darkness after the fireworks had ended.

In response, he drew her into his arms and spoke in a husky tone, "This time, you were the one who initiated the kiss."

Even though she was a mother of one, she couldn't help but blush like an innocent young girl.

"Callum… What a great show!"

An untimely voice broke their moment of affection, causing them to separate as if they had been doused with cold water.

"Slevin?"

In contrast to his earlier appearance of being well-groomed and well-dressed in a suit, Slevin's suit appeared to have some wrinkles following the mayhem in the crowd. At this point, he glared at them with a gloomy expression, but he still smiled, sending shivers down anyone's spine.

"Elspeth, when did you become so close to him? How could you even embrace each other?" Then, he creased his brow and spoke in a subdued voice, "Come over here, Elspeth."

For some reason, the calmer his tone, the more Elspeth felt that this person seemed to be harboring an impending storm. Then, she clarified, "Slevin, I still want to tell you I can't marry you. So, I hope you won't have such thoughts in the future." After saying this, she squeezed out a faint smile, trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere.

"Why can't you?" he asked while fiddling with the prayer beads on his wrist and smiling slightly.

Nevertheless, she noticed his gesture and felt a sudden hesitation in her heart. After more than four years together, I could interpret this man's gesture as indicating his anger.

"Because she is my legally wedded wife." Callum proclaimed while glaring at Slevin and refusing to back down.

Surprisingly, Slevin gave a light, contemptuous chuckle upon hearing this. "Legally wedded wife? Callum, don't forget that everyone in the country knows your wife has been missing for over four years. Moreover, four years is sufficient to determine a person's death, and your wife has been presumed dead in your country. I heard that you even took over Azure Corporation. Tsk tsk, do you know how those rumors about you spread? They say the CEO of the Winthrop Group plotted to take his wife's assets and intentionally killed her... Callum, have you handled the rumors in the country?"

"Shut your mouth!" Callum's voice suddenly turned dark and chilling.

In the meantime, Elspeth had no idea this had happened, and as she glanced at Callum, her eyes were awash with a mixture of emotions.

At this moment, Callum turned his head, and their eyes met. "Elspeth, don't believe what he says. Azure Corporation is just under my temporary management. I don't want the business you've worked so hard to build to be divided by others."

"So righteous, as if it were true," Slevin sneered, his face showing a hint of disgust. Then, he gently extended his hand toward her. "Elspeth, we have been together for so many years, and I have never had any bad motives toward you. I have taken care of you and Dami so well. You should understand my genuine intentions, right?"

However, she pursed her lips and said nothing in response. After a while, she raised her head solemnly and replied meaningfully, "You're right. I shouldn't have doubted you so easily and believed a man who

has only been by my side for a few days."

After hearing this, Slevin was not as satisfied as she expected. He was initially surprised but then smirked, showing a hint of mockery. "Callum, did you hear that? Even Elspeth doesn't believe you after everything you've done."

"Elspeth!"

Callum called out from behind, only to be met with Elspeth's icy expression. "Callum, now that you have obtained what you wanted, please stop interfering in our lives."

"Do you truly believe what he's saying? Elspeth, just a moment ago, you promised me—" When Callum heard the words that told him to leave, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, his eyes filled with anguish. Then, he continued, "Elspeth! Do you know how much I love you? If I were truly after your possessions, why would I come looking for you? Time and again, I've gone to great lengths to track you down, and now that I've found you, you don't want me. Is that it?"

Although she was moved by his words, she suppressed her emotions and stated, "Please leave."

"Elspeth!"

"That's enough! Stop calling my name!"

At this instant, Callum was shocked into speechlessness by the angry shout from Elspeth. After a while, he stumbled a few steps back, wearing a miserable smile. "Fine. Since this is the case, I will no longer bother you. Also, Azure Corporation will be transferred to your name in a while. Please live well."

Then, Slevin sneered and remarked, "So hypocritical."

However, Callum ignored his sarcasm and turned away.

On the other hand, she felt a pang in her heart as she observed his figure leaving her field of vision. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Elspeth, this man is a master of acting. Don't let him deceive you."

Slevin advised with a bitter tone, but to Elspeth's surprise, she smiled like nothing had happened and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. If everything is okay here, let's go back. I miss Dami."

After hearing this, his eyes flickered, but he still smiled warmly. "I've arranged for someone to take care of the boy and take him to play. They'll bring him back later. Let me take you home first."

Elspeth breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. "Okay."
