Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Stay Away from Callum

Admittedly, he could not tolerate this even for a minute.

“He’s got something against me, so I need to endure this for the next two days.” Elspeth lifted her head. She was not sure why she was explaining things to Callum, but as she was confronted with his current state, she inexplicably felt guilty.

“What does he have?”

“Previously, I helped that young girl to save her mom, and now, Callum is using this to threaten me. That’s why I need to transfer her mom out of the hospital before I break up with him. Otherwise, I’m worried he’ll do something to her.”

Elspeth had already planned everything, and all she had to do was send him away on a pretext. Then, she could organize the transfer to a different hospital. After completing all that, she would then break up with Arthur right away.

“I’ll help you,” Callum said out of instinct.

“I can manage by myself.” She revealed an awkward expression as she looked at him. With a smile, she asked, “Callum, have you… fallen for me?”

This time, he was not in a hurry to deny it but stared at her intently. “I have to admit that I’ve fallen for you indeed.”

Shocked, Elspeth did not expect him to come clean so frankly. “Callum, you’ve fallen for me?”

He took a step forward and lifted her chin gently. “That’s right. I’ve fallen for you, so I don’t want you to be with him.”

He had originally thought that his feelings for Elspeth were barely there and might even be nonexistent. However, he did not expect the turbulent emotions that arose within him upon seeing her with someone else.

He experienced jealousy, sadness, and confusion. It was quite a while since he had experienced such complicated emotions.

“What about you? How do you feel about me?” Callum did not let her off the hook but pursued the topic relentlessly.

At that moment, Elspeth was taken aback. She had been wondering about this in her mind for some time, but she persistently refused to admit it.

She parted her lips as she attempted to say something, but suddenly, a glaring light shone at them. “Stop making noise in the corridor and return to your rooms.”

Elspeth looked down and noticed they were currently in an intimate position. Furthermore, they were caught ‘red-handed’, so her face immediately flushed pink before she shoved Callum aside and left.

Ophelia, who was hiding by the corner, overheard their entire conversation. She never expected to encounter such a situation just by coming over to see Callum.

She was just about to rejoice that Elspeth had started dating Arthur, but she did not expect Callum to confess his feelings to Elspeth!

At that point, she panicked. After all, if Elspeth broke up with Arthur, it would not take long for Elspeth to be with Callum. I’ll never allow this to happen!

As Ophelia realized this, she unlocked her phone to find Arthur’s phone number before dialing it.

In the meantime, he was drinking at a pub, so he sent his geolocation to her and requested a meetup.

Once she arrived at the pub, she saw Arthur enjoying his drink and appeared to be lost in thought. Of course, there was no way of knowing what was on his mind.

“Arthur, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss with you.”

He lifted his brows quizzically. “What’s the matter?”

Ophelia noticed he did not seem to get it, so she clenched her teeth and said, “I wanna team up with you.”
