Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Just like that, Theodore dumped it on Elspeth to make the tough decision.

She felt a painful headache hit her as she looked at the people in front of her.

Logically speaking, she should choose Callum. But now that she saw how expectant the four men were looking at her, she couldn’t say Callum’s name for some reason.

“Take a good look, Elspeth. Whom will you choose?”

Blake’s sinister eyes fell on Callum as he urged unrelentingly, “You must think carefully.”

She sucked in a deep breath. “I won’t choose.”

“Why not?” asked Callum, whose face instantly fell when he heard that.

Seeing how dark his face turned, she realized that she had unknowingly offended the young master, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Elspeth, don’t hesitate to choose whomever you want.” Edmund’s words were always tinged with a hint of displeasure.

“Fine. I choose Callum.”

Hmph.” Edmund huffed. “That’s more like it.”

She instantly understood what he meant.

He was just trying to make her come to terms with her feelings quicker and make them public.

She remembered that he didn’t like her at all. He must have deliberately said so just now to compete with Callum.

Edmund might be a tad evil and foul-mouthed, but he wasn’t a bad person.

Blake, on the other hand, was not happy, and even his breathing suddenly became silent as he looked at Elspeth with his eyes filled with pain.

As for Arthur, it was as if nothing had happened. His emotionless smile remained plastered to his face, and Elspeth couldn’t tell how he felt at this moment.

Satisfied, Theodore nodded. “There we have it, then. In that case, when are you and Callum going to get engaged?”

Not only Elspeth but even Callum was startled by the unexpected question.

“I’m afraid it’s too early for that. Callum and I are not even a couple. Why are we getting engaged so soon?” Elspeth choked.

Margot wanted nothing more than to see the two of them together. “Callum is already 24. He’s neither too young nor too old to get married. Even though you are only 20, you can already get married according to the law. You can get engaged this year and get married at the end of the year. Who knows? I might have a grandchild in a year!”

Her words shocked Elspeth so badly she could barely squeak. “That’s too rushed, Mrs. Winthrop…”

Margot rolled her eyes at Elspeth. “Geez, don’t get all shy on us now. It’s alright. You can slowly let your feelings grow. You can even do that after marriage!”

Rendered speechless, Elspeth stole a glance at Callum.

He cleared his throat. “Well, I don’t think Mom’s wrong”

Judging from his approving tone, it seemed that he was satisfied with his mother’s arrangement.

Elspeth only forced a laugh without saying another word.

“Mom, don’t worry about our marriage. We are still young, so we should work on our careers

first.”
