Chapter 315
With that thought in mind, Elspeth swiftly switched up what she was going to say. “I’m in a safe place right now, so all’s well with me, but the person
who’s helping me has asked that I don’t divulge my location to anyone else. It might cause trouble for him.” Knowing Gilbert’s personality, he would
undoubtedly save her and take her away if she told him the truth, but that would only exacerbate the situation. Arthur might be pissed off, and it could
affect Mom’s treatment.“Is that true?” Gilbert sounded a little disbelieving.“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Elspeth chuckled lightly.Gilbert
huffed at the recollection of all the lies Elspeth had ever told him. “You’re asking me when you’ve ever lied to me? Three years ago, you tricked me
into bringing toilet paper to you at the public washroom. You even said no one else was around, but I ended up being called a pervert by a bunch of
women. Four years ago, you dined and dashed but you pushed the blame on me—”He was getting even more agitated with each passing second, so
Elspeth quickly apologized. “Sorry! I apologize for everything! I shouldn’t have done those things. You’re a magnanimous man, aren’t you? Please
forgive me. Still, I’m not lying to you this time.”Had it been at any other point in time, she would’ve acted as if she didn’t have a clue about what he
was saying, but right now, she could hear the ruckus around him.He’s probably at a bar and there are so many people around him. She would be
mortified by the things Gilbert revealed about her, so she didn’t want to drag this out with him.“Fine. I’ll believe you just this once.” Gilbert’s anger
dissipated.Harper was speechless as he watched them bicker, but he was still concerned about Elspeth. “When are you coming back, Elsie?”Going
back...After leaving this time, she didn’t know whether she could ever return.Elspeth suppressed her melancholic emotions and said with a chuckle,
“It won’t be long before I go back, but I need to stay low for now. I can head back once everyone has forgotten about this.”Harper didn’t comment any
further as he knew that Elspeth was a cautious person. He merely reminded her to take care of herself.“I’ll leave Azure in your hands for now. Help
me keep an eye on Gilbert too. If anything happens, report it to me right away. If he bullies you again by saying that you’re a snitch, then tell me about
it, and I’ll teach him a lesson.”Elspeth’s joking admonishments annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our
drinks. The women are waiting for us.”“Your girlfriend’s pregnant and waiting for you, yet you’re having drinks at a nightlife establishment.”“Who said
she’s my girlfriend? She’s just someone who drugged me and got pregnant with my semen. I never claimed this child.”Elspeth didn’t think that Gilbert
would be this indifferent.“How hard it must be on your girlfriend who’s all the way in another country...” Elspeth immediately stopped in her tracks
when she realized she had said something she shouldn’t have.However, even though Elspeth didn’t finish her sentence, Gilbert felt a trace of
uneasiness. “According to the information I got, she’s currently in the country, so why are you saying that she’s abroad? Do you know where she
is?”“That’s your girlfriend, not mine. Why would it matter to me where she is? How would I know?”Elspeth quickly deflected and was about to hang up
at once, but Gilbert cut her off with a furious tone. “You’re not allowed to hang up until you clear things up.” Since the cat was out of the bag, Elspeth
had no choice but to explain, “Well, a while back, Elias saved me from the ocean, right? So, I followed him back to the Coles and found out that Ginna
is his fiancée, but I think she doesn’t like him and has been trying to call off the engagement.”Elspeth’s tone was slightly sheepish and apologetic.It
wasn’t right for her to keep this from Gilbert when she was his friend.She helped Ginna keep this a secret because she was afraid that this
information might affect the couple’s relationship, but she never would’ve thought that Gilbert wasn’t interested in Ginna at all. It was merely Ginna’s
one-sided love.There was no answer for quite some time, but Elspeth could sense that things had gotten quite frosty on the other side of the
call.Gilbert was truly infuriated.“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”As soon as Elspeth’s voice got a little louder, she heard footsteps outside her door,
so she quickly hid under the blanket and lowered her voice. “That’s all I know. I don’t know anything else,” she said like an errant child confessing her

wrongdoing.“It’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” Gilbert rubbed his temples. He seemed frustrated.“What do you plan on doing now?”Elspeth’s joking
admonishments annoyed Gilbert. He rolled his eyes. “That’s enough. It’s time for us to get back to our drinks. The women are waiting for us.”Elspeth
did care about Gilbert, which included his love life. He was a close friend and they had braved dangers together after all.“I won’t be able to check up
on you for the time being. I need to make a trip to Sunholde.”Elspeth exhaled in relief as she replied understandingly, “Sure. I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll be
fine.”Gilbert sounded a little hesitant. “Well, you understand, right, Elspeth? It’s not because I’m concerned...”Naturally, Elspeth knew what he meant
and chuckled before side-stepping the subject.“Hurry up and get on with whatever it is you’re doing. I’ve got something to do so I’m hanging up
now.”She quickly ended the call.Meanwhile, Gilbert fell into a daze as he stood there with his phone still in hand.A few women came over and
caressed his back.“Let’s have a drink, Mr. Payne.”“Oh, Mr. Payne!”“Scram!” Gilbert, who had been smirking devilishly just moments ago, instantly
blew his top as his temper flared up.The women beside him fled in fright.Only Harper knew why Gilbert was suddenly incensed......Elspeth spent
three torturous days living with Arthur.Why was it torturous for her?This guy’s routine is too ridiculous!Waking up at 5.00AM to go on a run around the
villa? What’s more, he keeps shouting the whole time!Although Arthur’s voice was pleasant to the ears, it was still too hard for her to accept this habit
of his.On the fourth morning, Elspeth heard the stomping sounds outside again, and finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She dragged herself
downstairs, still in her pajamas and with a messy head of hair.When she saw Arthur leisurely making breakfast, she pointed at him and demanded,
“Arthur Winthrop! Can you stop disrupting my sleep?”Arthur flipped the steak in the pan and smiled nonchalantly. “I’m just keeping to a normal,
healthy routine. Don’t tell me there are people still in bed at 8.00AM.”His mocking pushed Elspeth over the edge as she immediately lunged over to
get physical with him.“Cut it out. Stop making a fuss.” Arthur grabbed her hand. A smile seemed to flash in his eyes as he looked down. “I need to do
something later.”“What is it?” Elspeth glared at him.“I’ll be going over to the Jonesons to pick up your mother.”
