Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 519

Chapter 519 You Were a Virgin

Arthur and Jethro must be behind this.

Elspeth instantly felt a headache coming on. If it were before, where Arthur was the only one causing trouble, things would be easier to handle.

Now that there were two of them, even though the Wilstones couldn’t stir up too much trouble, they were still quite bothersome.

“I really didn’t want to become his enemy, but by the looks of it, there’s no other choice.”

Callum caressed her hair. “Don’t worry, leave everything to me.”

After getting back to the Winthrop Residence, the two had already lost their appetite, so they washed up early and lay on their beds.

Everyone in the Winthrop Residence was saddened by Max’s death, and the whole house had fallen into desolate silence.

In order to soothe Margot’s emotions, Theodore could only bring her out on a vacation and leave the company management to Callum.

Blake rarely came back, and he lived with Lisa in another house outside.

So, Callum and Elspeth were the only two people remaining in the Winthrop Residence.

At night, Elspeth was sound asleep when she was suddenly startled awake by the thunder outside.

She was a light sleeper, so as she listened to the rumbling thunder outside, she tossed and turned and was unable to sleep.

Finally, when the thunder sounded for the 59th time, Elspeth couldn’t take it anymore and sat up. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She turned on the lights and went downstairs to fetch some water to drink, but when she arrived at the staircase, she bumped into Callum who was also getting some water.

“Why are you still awake at this hour?”

Callum passed her the cup of water he had just poured for himself. The water was at a suitable temperature, and she took it and sipped from the cup, easing her troubled emotions.

“The thunder was too loud, so I couldn’t sleep from all the noise.”

Callum stared at the weather outside. “The weather forecast says that the thunder will go on for another 30 minutes. Maybe it’ll be gone when the rain stops.”

“That’s so annoying.” Elspeth ruffled her hair in irritation.

“Would you like to chat with me in my room?”

Even though Callum’s suggestion was a little out of the blue, it wasn’t a bad idea.

She couldn’t sleep, after all, so she decided to go with him to his room.

There was a large armchair in Callum’s room. Elspeth wasn’t bold enough to sit on his bed, so she sat on the armchair instead.

Callum sat on his bed and lightly patted it. “It’s winter, and the weather is quite cold. Do you want to snuggle under the blankets with me?”

Elspeth was silent.

After hesitating for a while, she slowly got up from the armchair and walked to the bed, then discreetly dove under the blankets.

Since the two were sharing a blanket, the atmosphere turned more or less suggestive.

Callum lay next to her as he read a magazine. His blanket was tea-scented, so it was refreshing and fragrant.

Elspeth took a deep breath, taking in the familiar scent, and she actually felt a little sleepy.

“Do you feel like sleeping?”

For some reason, the sleepiness she just felt suddenly disappeared without a trace as soon as he said that.

“Nope.” Elspeth took out her phone and started scrolling through some videos. As she watched the videos, she burst out laughing occasionally.

“What are you watching? You’re laughing so happily that I want to see it too.”

Before Elspeth could react, a hand draped across her shoulders from behind. Callum pulled her firmly into his embrace.

Her phone was taken away, and in an instant, Elspeth suddenly realized that things weren’t as simple as she thought they were.

“Didn’t you say you want to watch the video? Why did you lock the screen?”

When Elspeth saw Callum casually locking the screen and placing the phone on the bedside table, a strong sense of danger invaded her.

She subconsciously wanted to back away, but his arm was firmly wrapped around her, so she couldn’t even move, much less keep a distance from him.

“What are you trying to do?”

Elspeth’s words sounded like she was playing hard to get. When Callum looked into Elspeth’s eyes, he swallowed and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you remember what you promised me last time?”

A promise? What was it exactly?

Elspeth instantly recalled that she might have promised him something in the hospital.

Is he talking about having a child?!

“I’m not prepared. Why don’t we slow down and have a good long talk about it?”

They were almost at the point of no return, but she still wanted to drag it out.

This was too sudden, and she hadn’t made any mental preparations yet.

However, Callum couldn’t wait any longer. He had no time to listen to her arguments as he covered her eyes with one hand, then pulled her close to him with another.

Warmth spread across her lips. He was lightly biting on them.

“Elspeth… Have my baby.”

Elspeth whimpered lightly, but it only made Callum more excited as he turned around and trapped her underneath him. There was a deep look in his eyes.

Elspeth closed her eyes and slowly accepted the kiss that turned ever deeper.

Thunder rumbled outside, washing over the charming and delicate scene in the room.

…

The next morning, when Elspeth woke up, she felt sore all over. She couldn’t help muttering that Callum was a beast.

Last night, he went for many rounds and called her name over and over again.

He was slightly more maniacal than usual in bed, and he kept bullying her as if he were born to do it.

Even turning over made Elspeth feel the soreness throughout her body. She cursed Callum silently again, feeling like she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for most of the day.

“You’re awake. Did you sleep well last night?”

While Elspeth was lost in thought, Callum suddenly came in with a tray.

On the tray lay an exquisite sandwich and a glass of hot milk.

Elspeth glared at him in hatred.

He knew very well whether she had a good sleep last night or not.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Callum dared not say anything as he got under the blankets as well. Then, he gathered her into his arms.

“Don’t touch me. It hurts.”

Callum’s actions were already at their gentlest, but Elspeth still felt pain. A regretful look flashed in his eyes as he said in a soft voice, “I’ll be more gentle next time.”

Next time?! Elspeth thought.

There’s even a next time?

Elspeth put on a sorrowful look as she complained, “I think this shouldn’t happen again in at least a month from now.”

Callum hugged her from behind and said in a pitiful tone, “One month is too long for me. Can’t we shorten it a little?”

“One month is my lowest limit. I was going to say 6 months just now.”

She was unexpectedly stubborn about these things.

There wasn’t any secret behind this; it was simply too painful for her.

It hurt so much that she kept sobbing last night, but the thunder was even louder than her sobs, so even if she cried until she lost her voice, he didn’t let her off.

“Maybe a discount, please?”

Callum rubbed his head against her back. His hair was fluffy and it tickled her neck.

“Callum, you don’t know how to control yourself at all!”

Elspeth was fuming as if she had experienced the worst treatment in her life.

“It was my first time. I didn’t have any experience prior to that. I’ll look out next time,” Callum explained patiently.

As soon as he said that, Elspeth’s annoyance instantly turned into shock.

“You were a virgin?!”
