Chapter 469 Married Life

The unwarranted jealousy was actually a little nonsensical, but Callum was upset, so Elspeth couldn't say much

about it. She could only endure it while silently complaining about how much it hurt to get bitten by him.

"You're not allowed to comfort him anymore. Ignore him if he can't get over it. Just leave him be."

The look in Callum's eyes was dark, and it was clearly visible even at night.

"Come on, don't be so stingy. He's your brother and my brother-in- law. How can I just stand by and watch as he

falls to his ruin?"

Callum's expression improved ever so slightly when he heard the word 'in-law'.

"I know you're his sister-in-law, but you should still maintain some distance from him."

So what if they were siblings-in-law? They shouldn't get so close to each other anyway.

"All right, got it. Let's go back now. It's getting late, and we should sleep early."

Callum nodded, then took her hand as they went back to the villa. Lisa and Blake didn’t stay with them, so they left

early on.

Notably, when Blake knew that his room was taken by someone else, he couldn't do anything about it, even if he

cried and screamed. He could only allow himself to be dragged away by Lisa as he put on a resentful expression.

On that note, Elspeth suddenly realized something. Blake had always maintained a gentlemanly image, but for

some reason, ever since he got together with Lisa, he had turned into a fool, and he was not just any ordinary fool.

Regardless, she didn't intend to think too much about these things. She just found it amusing that his expressions

were gaining variety as time went by.

He had affected Lisa's mood as well, and she was considerably livelier. This was a good thing, at least.

Early the next morning, Callum woke up and urged Elspeth to go to work. Before this, when Elspeth stayed at the

Winthrop Residence, she had a tendency to sleep in.

The two were married, so he didn't mind it as much as he opened the door to her room straight away. Even though

Elspeth spent more time sleeping, her posture was decent as she faced the morning sun. Her sleeping face was

bathed in the sunlight.

She looked a little cuter compared to her cold self in the past. Callum subconsciously stepped forward, then bent

down and softly kissed the corner of her lips.

Perhaps sensing the subtle kiss, Elspeth instantly opened her eyes. When she saw an enlarged handsome face right

in front of her eyes, Elspeth was so startled that she screamed.

"What are you doing?"

Callum also realized that he was being a little reckless, so he looked away awkwardly. He took a few steps back and

pretended to tidy the clothes.

"Why did you sneak kisses on me so early in the morning? Also, who let you in my room?"

Elspeth wasn't completely used to their new identities, and at that moment, she was mad that she was woken up

without consent and also a little unsure of what to do.

"So, you feel that with our current relationship, I still cannot do such things?"

Callum saw her being wary of him like she was guarding against a thief, and he felt upset for some reason.

Something feels off. Aren't we officially married?

"Oh, wait, we're married, right?"

Callum lowered his gaze. "So, you're aware of that."

"Sorry, I just couldn't get used to it for a moment."

She couldn't accept the fact that she was someone's missus. Callum noticed that she might have recognized

something off about their relationship as well, and he had other ideas.

"Why don't we sleep together? Let's do something married couples should do."

Something married couples should do would mean...

"Isn't it too early for that?"

A disappointed look flashed across Callum's eyes. "Why is it too early?"

"Look, we just got the marriage certificate, but we haven't officially started our married life yet. Also, we didn't hold

a wedding, and most importantly, you haven't proposed to me yet. So, we have to do things in turn."

Even though her explanation was perfectly logical, Callum could still sense her reluctance from her words.

"Never mind, forget about it if you're unwilling."

Elspeth abruptly stopped her long speech. "I'm not unwilling. I just feel-"

Callum took a deep breath, then walked up to her and embraced her. "I know you haven't fully accepted it yet, but

it's okay. I can wait."

Elspeth's heart melted in an instant. She was thinking of agreeing right away, but when she saw his earnest gaze,

she felt that she should stand by her own opinion.

"Then I await your proposal, Mr. Winthrop." Elspeth winked and smiled cunningly.

Callum curved his lips. "Of course. I'll prepare the grandest proposal for you. For now, you should get up and have

breakfast.

You're going to be late."

Their companies were located in the south and the north, respectively. Callum still insisted on sending her to her

company before going to his own company.

They were both presidents, but Callum didn't want Elspeth to be late, whereas he was fine with being late himself.

Elspeth was mulling about that on the way to her workplace. When they arrived at the entrance of the company,

Callum refused to leave just like that.

"Don't you feel like something is missing?"

Elspeth paused for a moment, unable to understand what he was getting at.

"What is missing?"

"Don't you think you should give me a morning kiss?"

A morning kiss?

Elspeth looked around them. It was rather late, and the place was quite crowded. If she kissed him there, they

would probably have a lot of witnesses. Elspeth couldn't ignore the awkward feeling in her gut as she shook her

head, trying to get Callum to compromise.

"Let's kiss when we're at home next time, all right?"

"Are you treating me like a child?"

Because Callum refused to budge, Elspeth was both exasperated and helpless. Callum seemed to be keeping a high

profile ever since they got married. It was as if he wanted the entire world to know that they were a sweet and

loving couple.

To prevent something more serious from happening, Elspeth quickly gave him a peck on his cheek, then ran away

in an instant.

She was almost fleeing the scene. Callum gazed at her retreating figure, then slightly curved his lips. My wife's kiss

is so sweet.

When Elspeth entered her company, the red tint on her cheeks was still visible. Just then, a gossipy coworker who

was on good terms with her suddenly scooted closer to her.

"Miss Lynwood, I just witnessed a shocking secret. Tell me, how much money would you give me to keep my mouth

shut?"

Her smile turned increasingly sinister. This vicious smile was the first thing Elspeth saw when she turned around,

and she felt instantly troubled.

"Well, tell me. What did you see?"

The coworker covered her mouth in surprise. "Miss Lynwood, are you sure you want me to talk about you kissing

Mr. Winthrop right here?"

Her voice wasn't too loud, but the people around them heard it anyway. Almost at the same time, everyone perked

up their ears as they heard this shocking news.

"What?! Miss Lynwood kissed someone?"
