Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) -
Chapter 157
Chapter 157
It was a tall and slender man who was about Frank’s age. His skin was fair, his eyes were clear, and his hair was light brown. He had a smile on his
lips, making him seem friendly.
Looking at his face, Elspeth thought about his identity.
If my guess is right, he must be Frank’s best friend, Spencer White, she thought. Spencer was famous in Blaydal since the White Family was in
politics and had high status. However, Spencer looked lively and youthful rather than a serious person.
Spencer had seen Frank in the flowerbed from a mile away, and he thought it was hilarious. Spencer teased as soon as he reached them, “Oh my, I
never knew that you like flowers too.”
When Frank got up, he felt his butt hurt. He endured the pain and snarled, “Why did you do that to me, Elspeth?”
Initially, he was going to say “kick”, but he was too embarrassed to say it since Spencer was here.
Hearing his words, Elspeth shrugged and was secretly delighted when she saw his frustrated expression.
“You started it by talking rudely to me.”
At that moment, Frank glared at her. Since there was an outsider, he could only let her off the hook. After all, he couldn’t possibly fight her.
“Alright, don’t be so calculative with women. I’m here to ask you something,” said Spencer.
Frank averted his dark gaze from Elspeth and looked at Spencer. “What is it?”
“We are going to have a wine tasting in a few days. Do you want to join us? I heard that...”
“I’m not going. That’s boring.” Frank rejected him without hesitation.
Spencer didn’t say anything and chuckled as he looked at Frank’s annoyed expression. “I heard they are giving away the ancient wine glass you
always wanted. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”
Although Frank was bad-tempered, he was a collector. He had a full set of wine glasses, but one was missing. He never expected that the last wine
glass he was searching for would be in the hands of the organizer of the wine tasting event.
“I’ll think about it.”
On the other hand, Elspeth was uninterested in their conversation. “Where’s Grandfather?”
Spencer had noticed her from the start. Elspeth had long wavy hair, looked elegant, and had a sense of innocence about her. When did Frank have
such beauty around him? he thought.
“Who is she, Frank? Is she your hidden girlfriend? Are you taking her to meet your family?”
When Frank heard his words, he frowned and said, “There’s no way that would happen. She’s my long-lost cousin that I told you about before. I’m
bringing her back to the family.”
“I see.” Spencer looked enlightened. “So, this is the legendary Miss Lynwood. It’s nice to meet you.”
For unknown reasons, Elspeth didn’t like whatever Spencer said.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. White.”
Spencer was flattered. “I haven’t even said who I was, but you already knew. Am I that famous?”
“Oh yeah. Rumors say that you always spend time with Mr. Joneson. The two of you are inseparable and have feelings for each other. It’s a lovely
sight to see.” Elspeth was quick-witted.
She isn’t wrong with her words, but having feelings for each other... Isn’t that used to describe a couple? Spencer thought. However, he wasn’t mad
and thought Elspeth looked cute when she was temperamental. So, he laughed and said, “Your cousin is interesting, Frank.”
When Frank heard Spencer’s tone, he felt proud rather than disgusted for some reason. He wondered if it was because he and Elspeth were related
by blood.
“That’s enough talking. I’ll take her to Grandpa while you wait for me by the lake. I’ll be there soon.” Frank raised his chin toward Spencer.
After Spencer heard his words, he nodded and strode off.
Seeing that he was gone, Frank glared at Elspeth hatefully and said, “Let’s go. You’d better watch your mouth when you’re in front of Grandpa.”
Hearing his words, Elspeth snorted and said, “Mind your own business. I know the rules.”
“Whatever.” Frank didn’t want to talk to her anymore and led her to the living room.
The living room was crowded with people, and everyone was curious about Elspeth whom they had never met. They had heard that she was
outstanding and wanted to see just who she was.
When Elspeth stepped into the room, she wasn’t scared by the sight of them.
When the crowd saw her at first glance, they were amazed by her beauty. Then, they started having different thoughts in their mind.
With those looks, she was even prettier than Helena, also known as The Beauty of Blaydal. The people approved of her when they saw that she was
bold and didn’t chicken out as she faced the crowd.
Is she the same person that the detective told us about? I thought Elspeth was a country bumpkin from a small village and knew nothing. However, by
her looks, she doesn’t look like one.
Elspeth didn’t care about the others and only noticed the sixty-year-old man who sat in the middle of the living hall. He was looking at her with teary
eyes.
Is he my grandfather, Michael, the head of the Joneson Family?
When Michael saw Elspeth, who looked similar to Helena, he was filled with emotions. However, he suppressed his excitement and asked, “Are you
Elspeth?”
“That’s right. Hello, old Mr. Joneson.”
Elspeth didn’t feel the familial bond with them and wondered if it was because she had never gotten in touch with them. On the contrary, she felt
nauseous and resistant as she looked at Michael.
When Michael heard her words, disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, “You should call me
Grandfather, not old Mr. Joneson, Elspeth. Come here and let me have a good look at you. You are all grown up now.”
Then, he beckoned Elspeth to come over, but she didn’t move.
“What’s the matter?”
Elspeth suppressed the uneasy feeling in her and explained, “I don’t like to be near strangers with whom I’m not familiar.”
“I understand.” Michael nodded. “After all, we have been separated for twenty years. It’s understandable if you don’t see me as your grandfather.
However, we have everything you need. If you ever need anything, just tell me, and I will tell Mr. Wordsworth to get it.”
His words indicated that she would be living here.
However, Elspeth shook her head and said, “I’m here today because old Mr. Joneson invited me to come. I have no purpose here and do not wish to
become one of the Jonesons. I wish that you can leave me be.”

Everyone was surprised by how straightforward she was.
At that moment, Michael’s smile stiffened. “What did you say?”
Elspeth gritted her teeth and repeated, “I do not wish to become a part of the Joneson Family. I hope that you can understand this.”
