Chapter 486 Head Over Heels

"I bet you didn't get to see Haris' expression. He was so angry." Elspeth was almost out of breath from

laughter.

"Are you in a better mood now?" Callum's voice softened considerably when he was talking to her.

"Of course, I am." She rose to her feet and stretched. "I didn't do anything today, but not only did I

watch a good drama for free, but I also got a victory out of it." It would be nice if every day could be as

easy as it was today.

It was as if he had seen through her thoughts that a hint of warmth appeared from within his usually

cold and stern gaze. "I'll cover for you whenever you feel like slacking off from now on."

She raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, and her gaze turned playful. "Is this what married life is

supposed to be like?" she teased.

"Well, I can make you this happy every day." His sudden confession caught her off guard, and for a

moment, she felt the innocent feeling that would only stem from the start of a new romance. Instead,

she blushed and chided him coquettishly, "Stop it! We're still outside!"

"It's okay. It's just the two of us here."

Callum had long noticed it—while Elspeth was a confident and fearless woman, she became coy and

bashful when it came to matters of love and intimacy. This sense of contrast made her even more

attractive to him.

"Didn't Haris say he's going to pick Jasmine up soon? We should get going." She tugged at the corner

of his clothes, signaling him to go home early.

Callum couldn't help but feel a hint of regret that he could not tease her any longer, especially when he

was treated to the sight of her flushed face… It only fueled his desire to tease her more. However, he

did not expect her to be so shy that she could not stand any teasing. Forget it. I'll let her off the hook

this time.

So, he pinched the tip of her nose and nodded lovingly. "Let's go home."

Because Haris had to return to the McGrath Residence to pick up someone else, there was still some

time left. So, Elspeth and Callum arrived at the Winthrop Residence before he did.

She actually expected Callum to knock Jasmine unconscious and stuff her in a dark basement. She

honestly did not expect that he would lock Jasmine in the room and let her stay there.

When Elspeth pushed the door and entered, Jasmine was still trying to pick the lock. So, Jasmine was

understandably stunned when she saw the door suddenly open.

"It's you? Did you kidnap me here?" Jasmine was still unwilling to blame the real culprit, Callum, for

kidnapping her.

Elspeth felt a little speechless when she heard her spiteful remarks. She did not think Jasmine was so

head over heels for Callum.

"Why'd you say that?" Jasmine knew nothing of the kidnapping of Elspeth's mother, and Haris

promised not to tell Jasmine about the mother. Therefore, Jasmine was obviously taken aback when

she heard Elspeth questioning her. When she thought about it, it indeed seemed that Elspeth had no

reason to kidnap her.

"Then, why am I here?" Jasmine had never been to the Winthrop Residence and was blindfolded on

the way there, so she could not observe the surrounding environment. She was still clueless as to

where she was.

Thus, she automatically assumed that it was Elspeth who kidnapped her the moment she saw the

woman entering the room.

"It was me who brought you here." Callum was busy with something else earlier and had only just

arrived.

When Jasmine saw his eyes, which were as calm as stagnant water, she suddenly felt a sense of

unfamiliarity. Previously, there was still a hint of warmth, though not affection, in Callum's eyes when he

looked at her. But now, there was only pure, undisguised loathing.

Jasmine felt a bit at a loss and stuttered out, "Callum, c-can you tell me why you brought me here?"

Even at this point, she was wondering if Callum had finally realized his feelings for her and chose a

somewhat violent way to express them.

Unfortunately, the fact that Elspeth was standing right next to him made her thoughts waver. How can

this be possible? The whole of Damoria knows how Callum adores Elspeth.

Jasmine lowered her head at that thought to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"Naturally, it's because your grandfather also kidnapped our people."

"Grandfather? How is he? Is he okay?" Jasmine panicked the moment her grandfather was mentioned

and asked anxiously. Although she was usually proud and aloof like a little swan, she had a sincere

affection for her grandfather. She grew up with him ever since she was young and had the best

relationship with him in the whole McGrath Family. Her grandfather also doted on her the most and

always strived to give her the best the world had to offer.

"He's fine at the moment. You should be worried about yourself."

Jasmine firmly shook her head. "I don't think so. You wouldn't do anything untoward to me. After all, we

spent those months together and had feelings for each other."

"Who told you that I had feelings for you?" Callum's cold words pierced her heart like a knife, and she

widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What did you just say? You didn't have any feelings for me?" That's not true. That cannot be true! I

won't believe any of this!

"Well, you're right. I did have feelings for you, but mostly pity and disgust." Disgust… The word wholly

shattered Jasmine's psychological defenses. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she

started sobbing.

"Callum, you can't do this to me. We spent so much time together, and I had only treated you sincerely.

You cannot deny your feelings to me. You just can't."

"Why not? Wasn't that how you treated Elspeth as well? You used so many despicable methods to

harm her. Have you ever thought of her feelings too?

Elspeth remained a spectator when Callum and Jasmine were conversing, and when they mentioned

her name, she was reminded of the past, and she only felt pity for Jasmine. No sympathy whatsoever.

What Callum said was right. Why bother to feel sorry for someone who had hurt her before? Jasmine

was merely reaping what she had sown.

"But it was you who came searching for me back then."

"You're right. It was me. But do you remember? I proposed that I give up 30% of the Winthrop Group's

shares in exchange for Elspeth's health, but you rejected me. You even threatened me to be in a

relationship with you as a condition."

Even though it was the second time she had heard about the proposed condition, she still could not

help but gasp in shock. After all, his proposal was akin to selling the Winthrop Group.

She could not accept the reality and instantly recalled that day he told her about his condition. Indeed,

she threatened him to be with her. But she was taking a gamble; she thought she could make him

develop feelings for her over time, and she took the risk.

"So, we were just using each other. There's no need for you to act so loving," Callum's words pierced

right through her heart, which caused it to go stone cold.
