Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155

“See me?” Elspeth was puzzled.

“There are around a dozen men who look like bodyguards, but their uniforms are made of premium fabric. They might not be just anybody.” The butler nodded and spoke incoherently. Hearing that, Elspeth suddenly had a hunch of who they could be.

“Miss Lynwood, you should go take a look.” Elspeth nodded in agreement and walked out as she didn’t want to cause the Winthrop Family any trouble.

Upon stepping out of the house, Elspeth saw a group of men standing before her. As soon as their leader saw Elspeth, the frown on his face turned into a smile. “You must be Miss Lynwood. Mr. Joneson mentioned that he made plans with you and asked me to send you there.” Elspeth recalled that she had promised him that she would visit the Joneson Residence in a few days, but she had been so busy that the visit had been delayed for a month.

“You must be the butler. I’m sorry but I can’t pay a visit to the Joneson Residence for now as I have some matters to take care of,” Elspeth said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about it, Miss Lynwood. Mr. Joneson told us that if you refused to come with us, we would have to persuade you to do so,” the butler replied apologetically.

Hearing that, Elspeth understood that she had no choice but to go. She frowned as it didn’t feel like what her uncle would have done. However, since the butler worked for the Joneson Family, it was most probably someone else’s idea. Her grandfather whom she had never met before could be the one.

“You’re leaving me with no choice,” Elspeth said as she squinted her eyes.

The butler wasn’t mad after hearing that and instead, he took a look around before asking, “Could you get your men to back off? I have something to discuss with you in private.”

“All of them are our men. Elspeth is my fiancée, so she is considered part of the Winthrop Family. There’s no need for us to back off.” Callum sounded displeased.

“Miss Lynwood, how could you simply get engaged to someone?” The butler was surprised to hear that.

The butler’s remark didn’t sit well with Elspeth as his views were archaic. It made her feel uncomfortable. “This is not something that you should interfere with. Just say what you want to say.” Elspeth was done being courteous to him.

“Old Mr. Joneson instructed that we have to bring you back. If not, we’ll be punished. I’m sure you wouldn’t prefer it if we forced you.”

The butler’s words were a blatant threat and Elspeth had no idea what they had up their sleeves. Before she could speak, the outraged Callum glared at the butler and spoke in an icy cold tone, “Don’t you dare touch her.” The butler shuddered upon noticing Callum’s aura and knew that he shouldn’t mess with Callum.

“Miss Lynwood, I’m sure that you wouldn’t want us to start a fight.” The butler’s tone softened.

“I’ve already made myself clear. I don’t have time to go over there with you right now. I’ll visit personally after some time,” Elspeth sneered.

Upon hearing that, the butler’s gaze turned vicious. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards formed a row. “Miss Lynwood, don’t blame us for using force as you’re being uncooperative.”

Since they were standing in front of the Winthrop Residence, it would taint the Winthrops’ reputation if a fight broke out. With that in mind, Elspeth finally responded after giving it some thought, “Let’s discuss this somewhere else.”
