Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 10 How About I Choose You?
While the two were leaving the hospital, Theodore and Margot were quarreling back at home.
“Margot, how many days has Elspeth been living with us? Why do you have to treat her so badly? She’s just a kid!”
Margot sneered, “Isn’t all of this your fault? Theodore, tell me. Why did you bring Elspeth back here?”
“I’ve told you before. It’s because her father and I have agreed on an engagement between our children.”
“Agreed on an engagement? That’s all bullsh*t! Isn’t it because you were in love with Helena Joneson?”
After she said that, Theodore’s face fell.
He and Elspeth’s father, Grover Lynwood, were friends from the same school and attended military school together. Later, they
met Elspeth’s mother, Helena, who was the military doctor at their school.
Both of them fell for her and decided to pursue her fairly. In the end, Helena chose Grover.
As years flew by, Helena had already passed away. However, Theodore did not expect Margot to mention what happened back
then.
“You know I’m right. Even after so many years, you still can’t forget about her. That’s why you brought Elspeth back to our home
and treated her so well!”
Then, he sighed as he grabbed her hand. “That’s not true. It’s been so long since the matter with Helena, and I only have you in
my heart.”
“If so, why do you treat Elspeth so specially?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Back when Grover and I were on a mission to track down a drug trafficking ring, he took a bullet for me when
we were both in danger. After that, his left leg became crippled, which was why he and Elspeth lived in that small town for so
many years.”
When he spoke those words, his face showed hints of sadness. “Before Grover passed away, he entrusted Elspeth to me and
said to take good care of her.”

Margot’s expression instantly froze at that while Theodore was lost in his memory. Actually, Helena isn’t dead...
When Elspeth and Callum arrived home, Theodore and Margot were the only ones left on the couch. For some reason, Margot
actually sincerely apologized to Elspeth.
Naturally, Elspeth did not intend to bicker about it anymore, so she went upstairs to rest. Just as she got out of the shower, she
heard a knock on her door before Margot came in.
“Mrs. Winthrop, what’s the matter?”
“I wanna have a chat with you.”
After entering the room and seating herself down, she went straight to the point. “Elspeth, I’ve accepted the fact that you’re going
to stay here in the future and I’ve also agreed for you to marry my son. However, out of all five of them, you cannot pick Callum.”
Hearing that, Elspeth was stunned and casually asked, “Why not?”
“Callum is the most excellent out of them all and I already have a daughter-in-law in mind, so leave him alone.”
Her words were clearly implying that Elspeth was not worthy of Callum and that the ideal daughter-in-law she was eyeing on was
Ophelia.
“I understand, Mrs. Winthrop.”
Without saying another word, Margot left.
When Elspeth woke up the next day, it was Edmund’s turn to spend the day with her.
He was the vice president of Winthrop Group. He and Callum were not that friendly with each other and he was said to always
go against Callum.
When Elspeth entered the car, Edmund asked, “How was your day with him yesterday?”
Seeing that he did not even address him by name, she could guess that the two were not exactly friendly with each other. She
then answered half-heartedly, “Not bad.”
“Let me tell you something. Callum is not a good person. He’s merciless and difficult to deal with, so don’t pick him.”

A smile appeared on her face as she asked, “So, should I pick you?”
