Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 211

Elspeth could not comprehend why Callum would call her when he was the one who said that he didn’t like her anymore. She took a look at Jordan’s encouraging expression, hesitating to pick up.

“Just pick up. Didn’t you do all this just to see Callum’s reaction?”

After giving it some thought, Elspeth finally picked up the phone. However, what she heard next was not Callum’s voice, but the sharp yet sweet female voice that belonged to Emma.

“You shouldn’t waste your energy anymore, Elspeth.” Emma’s voice carried a hint of mockery as she continued, “I saw all of your posts. Oh, yes, you guessed right. I used Callum’s phone.”

Elspeth’s expression turned disappointed and the light in her eyes faded. “So? What are you trying to say?”

Suddenly, Emma let out a burst of strange yet short laugh that sounded like a cat that had its tail stepped on.

“I wanted to tell you not to waste your energy anymore. Callum hasn’t even clicked on a single one of your pictures, and if it weren’t for me, nobody would even see your posts. Also, you just broke up with him, but you already found another man. Callum is too busy being disgusted with you, so do you think he’d call you to ask why you were with another man?”

Although Emma’s words sounded awful to the ears, they hit the nail on the head regarding Elspeth’s current situation.

Suddenly, Elspeth heard the trickling sound of water from the other end of the line. Before she could decipher what it was, Emma asked in a stunned voice, “Callum, aren’t you done showering yet?”

Elspeth felt her heart tighten.

The next second, Callum’s voice sounded over the phone. “Almost.”

Hearing that, she thoroughly gave up all hope. Taking a deep breath, she continued, “If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb the both of you anymore.”

Emma’s voice was filled with gratification that she’d never had before. “It’s good that you know. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of us.”

This was the first time she was able to act so proudly in front of Elspeth, who wasn’t even able to say anything.

However, before Emma could dwell on her happiness, Elspeth’s voice was heard again. “But do you know why I haven’t slept with Callum after all the time we’ve been together?”

Upon hearing this, Emma nearly soared with glee. It was fantastic news to her that Callum and Elspeth had not taken their relationship to the next level yet.

“Why?”

“Because…” Elspeth lowered her voice before continuing, “Callum can’t get it up.”

Pfft! Next to her, Jordan nearly choked himself on his water upon hearing her words.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Although Emma berated Elspeth, she was still unable to shake off her doubts.

“I’m not joking around. You can find out for yourself if you ask Callum, but he’s prideful and sensitive, so you have to be extremely careful when you ask him. Remember, if he gets angry, it means that he’s confirming it. You have to stop asking questions and just get him some supplements.”

Emma scoffed. “Stop being a busybody.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, she hung up the phone.

However, Elspeth knew that she had taken her words seriously.

True to her expectations, after Callum emerged from the shower, Emma asked cautiously, “Callum, I want to ask you something.”

Callum, who had just gone through a breakup, was not in the best of moods, but he still responded in a low voice, “What is it?”

“Are you… lacking in that area?”

His brows furrowed at her words. “What area?”

“Well… Um, you know, that.”

Immediately, Callum understood her words, and his expression darkened. “What are you implying?”

Oh no, he really got angry. With that thought, Emma plastered a smile on her face, but her thoughts were a frantic mess.

She tactfully stopped asking more questions, but in the following days, whenever she visited Callum, she would bring an invigorating meal with her. Soon, the entire building realized that his body was ‘not working’ through the strong fragrance of the food. However, this was a story for later.

After successfully pranking Emma, Elspeth felt extremely refreshed.

Meanwhile, Jordan had not recovered from her previous words, but upon seeing Elspeth’s hearty smile, he found an exasperated smile appearing on his face as well. “I thought Emma was really going to piss you off this time.”

“Why would I? Do you think I’m someone like that? I’ll always be the one watching people burn, not the other way around,” Elspeth said confidently.

He rubbed his chin as he watched her delete her posts, feeling conflicted. “What are you planning to do next?”

She tilted her head in thought before saying, “Why don’t we go back to the Joneson Residence in advance? There’s nothing else for me to do here, and I want to see that brat, Frank, too.”

“Before I came over, he got a beating for hiding the news related to you.”

Elspeth let out a belly laugh at his words. “Don’t worry, he’s the apple of the Jonesons’ eye. This much is nothing.”

Hearing that, Jordan curled his lips into a smile, his eyes darkening as he said, “That’s right. It was the first time I’d seen Frank being scolded like that, but he still insisted on not telling anyone about you.”

Elspeth stopped laughing, suddenly feeling touched. “Then, do you think I’ll still have to keep looking at him sulking if I go back now?”

Jordan had no idea what to say, completely rendered speechless by her words.

“Okay, since I’m done with everything, I have nothing else to stay for. We might as well go back to Blaydal.”

Jordan nodded. “Let’s go back together.”

Before Elspeth left, she went to visit Yelena and the others.

At the sight of Elspeth standing next to Jordan, Yelena dove into her arms tearfully. “Emma just posted on Twitter, saying that she got together with Callum and they’re going to be engaged soon. She even

said that Callum broke up with you a long time ago. Are you okay?”

Was Callum going to get together with Emma so soon?

“She’s right. I broke up with Callum long ago.”

Max stepped forward hesitatingly. “Miss Elspeth, I really wanted you to be my sister-in-law.”

Elspeth smiled and sent a slap across his head. “It’s fine. Don’t think about it too much. Although I can’t be your sister-in-law, we can still be friends. We’d just meet a little less often.”

Sensing something off about her tone, Blake asked, “Where are you going?”

“Back to Blaydal.”

Yelena’s eyes widened. “Why are you going back to Blaydal instead of staying in Damoria?”

A smile appeared at the corners of Elspeth’s lips as she looked at Yelena’s silly expression. “That’s because I’m part of the Joneson Family. I’m going back for my engagement with Jordan.”

Engagement? Their eyes widened at her words, and as they looked at the relatively compatible couple, their hearts were filled with conflict. Blake in particular was emanating so much disappointment that even the dazed Yelena could sense it.

“Don’t worry, Blake. Blaydal isn’t far from Damoria, so it won’t be a problem. We’ll have many chances to meet.”

Blake uttered in a strained voice, “I know.”
