Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89

“It’s all Max’s fault. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have left the place in a fit of anger and bumped into my rival’s manager who then kidnapped me.” The thought of Max being intimate with that woman made Yelena’s blood boil.

“You’re mad because you have feelings for him and yet you’re blaming him.”

Knowing that she couldn’t outargue that. Yelena immediately changed the subject. “I remembered that you came for me shortly after. What took you so long?” Yelena was just curious, and she wasn’t blaming Elspeth for the delay.

“Because… a dog got in my way,” Elspeth hissed.

At the same time, Callum, who was at the hospital, suddenly sneezed.

“A dog?” Yelena seemed puzzled as she found it interesting that someone would keep a dog in the bar.

“Alright, you should leave now. Stay close to your brother.”

“What about you?”

“I want to take a walk alone,” Elspeth said after taking a deep breath.

After she bid goodbye to Yelena, Elspeth took a walk by herself by the river. It was already nighttime and both sides of the river were lit up by streetlights. A few couples were seen being on dates. Suddenly, she heard a couple arguing.

“It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have lost the treasure hunt competition!” The man sounded annoyed.

“That’s because you don’t believe in me. You wouldn’t have lost if you believed me!” The woman raised her voice and responded.

“Believe in you? Why should I? I know you very well and you don’t even play these games. I know you too well.”

“Yeah, yeah! But do you know how much effort I’ve put into the competition? You never saw my change and you just think I’m the same idiot as before!”

With that, the woman turned around furiously and almost fell into the river. Luckily, the man acted fast enough and grabbed onto her.

“Let go! You should just let me die!”

Hearing that, the man suddenly pulled her into his arms, and he was so startled about the fall earlier that tears

Noticing that she was at fault too, the woman looked down as she apologized, “I’m sorry. I was bitter too.”

Elspeth, who heard their conversation, suddenly came to a realization. Arguments don’t mean that I don’t love you anymore.

That’s right; it was just an argument, and instead of never seeing each other again, all they had to do was to clear up the misunderstanding since being harsh to each other wouldn’t benefit any of them.

Since Callum and Ophelia grew up together, to him, Margot had seen Ophelia as her daughter, and it wouldn’t make sense for a child to harm her mother. While Elspeth, conversely, had not been on good terms with Margot. Callum didn’t blame her for that since he never scolded her about it but yet, she was being unreasonable.

It was a normal reaction for him to doubt her, but he was willing to talk to her, which showed that he had feelings for her. After thinking it through, Elspeth felt that she could see things clearer now.
