Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) -
Chapter 311
Chapter 311
Elspeth was dragged into the house and forced to complete the wedding ceremony with Edmund, then she was pushed into a room. The stronger
servants told her to stay in the bed and never take her veil off unless stated. Then they tiptoed away. “Damn it. I knew I couldn’t rely on Harper and
Gilbert.” She rolled her eyes and took off the veil. Then she tossed it onto the ground like it was a piece of tattered cloth.Despite her foul mood,
Elspeth still kept her eyes on the entrance. If Edmund steps through that door, I will stab him with this dagger. That’ll teach him not to mess with me.
Just when she was wondering what she should do with Edmund, she heard the door creak. Elspeth hid the dagger behind her and held the hilt tightly
while staring at the door. A familiar figure stepped in, but it was Arthur. “Why are you here?” Elspeth heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, but her
dagger fell. The clang rang across the silent air.“If my idiot brother hadn’t proposed to you, I wouldn’t have to come here.” Arthur’s gaze shifted from
her to the dagger on the ground. “Someone really hates marrying Edmund.” Even though Arthur was trespassing, he waltzed into the room like he
owned the place, then he sat before the table.“What do you want?” Elspeth didn’t know what Arthur had in mind, but it was probably worse than what
Edmund was planning. She took a few steps backward and put some distance between them.“Calm down. I’m not here to hurt you. I want to
help.”Elspeth almost burst out in laughter. Oh, you’re not here to help. You just want to lead me out of this place and take me for yourself. Elspeth
moved backward and put her hand behind her. “I don’t need your help.”“Oh? Then why are you holding your dagger?” Arthur smiled, pouring himself
a cup of tea.Elspeth held her dagger tightly. She had an extra prepared just in case, but Arthur didn’t try to take it from her. He was still drinking his
tea.Arthur took a whiff of the tea. Hm. Aphrodisiac. “He spiked the tea.”“He spiked the tea?” Elspeth’s face fell. She was focused on the escape plan
so much that she didn’t realize Edmund had spiked the drink. If I had played along and drunk that tea because I needed an opening, he would have
gotten to me. Terrifying. “Wait. Why are you here anyway?” Sweat was pouring forth from her forehead, and she stared at Arthur.“I told you. I’m here
to save you. Nothing more, nothing less.”“As if.” Elspeth didn’t believe that. “We’ve been enemies for a long time, so cut the crap. Don’t give me that
“turn a new leaf’ sh*t.”He was looking at me in disgust just a few days ago. What’s with the change? He doesn’t even feel evil. “Turn a new leaf? No, I
don’t think what I did was wrong.” Arthur sneered.Elspeth snapped out of it. Yep. He’s still the same old guy, but somehow, he feels wrong today. Why
is he saving me?“However, you saved my life. I owe you one, so this time, I’m repaying my debt.” Arthur put down the cup of tea, stood up, and
approached Elspeth.Elspeth was sure Arthur didn’t mean any malice at the moment, but she was still worried. “How can you even bust me out? The
security here is airtight.”“Easy. This place used to be my friend’s estate. I know all the secret passages here. How do you think I got in?”Elspeth froze.
“What?” He’s... odd. Full of mysteries. “Who is your friend?”“Can’t tell you just yet.” He still had that small smile on his lips, but it was
disappearing.Arthur was still the same man she knew, but he felt different. He used to be a hypocrite. A snake, she would say, but now he felt
mysterious. Not even she could figure him out.“Let’s go. If Edmund comes back, none of us can leave.”Elspeth’s heart sank. She stood up and tore
off her crown, her hair tumbling down her shoulders. Next, she took off her heavy cape and dress, leaving only the last layer, which was a white shirt,
on. That would make escaping easier. “Let’s go.”“I’ll take you to the passage.” Arthur stared into her eyes, and he felt something stir in him. It was a
familiar yet strange feeling.They opened the door and looked around. The guards were knocked out, thanks to Arthur. He then took Elspeth by the
hand and went toward the eastern corner. There, a boulder stood. Arthur moved it away, revealing a dark tunnel that could only fit one person at a
time. “Just keep moving and you’ll see the exit. Continue out and you’ll be fine.”Elspeth nodded, but she had her guard up.“Go in. I’ll seal the tunnel
with the boulder.”Arthur looked like he was doing it for Elspeth, but Elspeth thought otherwise. “You sure you’re not trying to lock me in so you can kill

me?”Arthur chuckled. “You read too many stories. Killing you does nothing for me. I don’t want you marrying Edmund, nor do I want Emma to marry
Callum.” Arthur spoke nonchalantly, but there was love in his voice.Elspeth nodded and entered the tunnel. Soon, she realized Arthur wasn’t lying.
Once the hole behind her was sealed, she saw a dim light ahead of her. She followed that light and eventually came to a clearing. Dusk had
descended, draping the city in a blanket of darkness. She looked back and only saw a speck in the distance. That was the villa she had escaped
from. Elspeth took out her ring to establish contact with Gilbert, but the moment she made contact, a muscular silhouette appeared.“I have orders to
capture you.”
