Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 238

Eric had always been a straightforward person. Elspeth understood that, and she knew he had been in love with her for a long time.

Nonetheless, she had turned him down on several occasions and made it clear that she had a partner.

She never tried to please any man with her appearance.

However, it wasn’t the case for Emma. At this moment, she felt despondent and fearful.

If her only financier was in love with Elspeth, it would be terrible news for her, for she would be rendered powerless and helpless.

“Eric, when did you get to know Elspeth?”

At the mention of this topic, Eric appeared much softer. “At that time, Elspeth was a 15-year-old who arrived in a foreign country for the first time. I saw her standing up for another young girl in front of the university’s entrance, and I was amazed by her ferocious moves. As such, I started paying attention to her.”

“Eric, you’re the son of the Oil Magnate, so you’re not supposed to pay attention to women who love to fight.”

Hearing that, Eric shot her a displeased look. “What are you talking about? If not for the fact that your temperament is starkly different from hers, I would’ve loved you more.”

Emma’s face paled instantly.

“Do you love her, Eric?” she asked with her last bit of hope. She prayed that she would get the answer she wanted.

Eric’s response surprised her, but it was also somewhat expected. “Of course. It’s my dream to marry her.”

“But you told me you love me!”

“I love you because you resemble Elspeth, especially your mouth. However, I love her more in comparison.”

Emma couldn’t accept the truth, for the two men she longed to get loved Elspeth instead.

That’s right, Callum is still in the picture! Why did I forget about him?

“Elspeth has a partner, though. She doesn’t love you at all!”

Elspeth’s expression changed when she heard that.

Nonetheless, it was derision, not embarrassment. “Miss Walker, do you think everyone loves hiding such matters as you do?”

Emma flushed instantly as she glanced at Eric and said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense!”

Eric didn’t seem to mind it as he said regretfully, “I know that Elspeth has a partner. I just hope that the man will treat her well. If I find out that she’s been mistreated, I won’t let that guy off!”

Emma squatted and bawled her eyes out, feeling nothing but despair. “Eric, you told me you’ll marry me when you’re 30. Did you lie to me?”

Eric frowned. “When did I say that? It was probably some nonsense I said when I was drunk.”

“Emma, have you forgotten about what you’ve done before?” When Elspeth saw the other woman wailing, she couldn’t help but mock her. “Do you always cry like this in front of any man?”

Elspeth finally came to realize that Emma loved no one.

Emma wanted Callum because he was a handsome young man with a bright future. On the other hand, she wanted to get together with Eric because he was a good-looking guy with money and power.

At the end of the day, she only loved herself.

Emma shuddered. “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Eric!”

She knew that she couldn’t lose Eric’s favor. Otherwise, she would be left with nothing.

During Eric’s visit to this country back then, he caught sight of Emma in the crowd and started wooing her. He even promised that as long as she was willing to date him, he would give her everything she ever wanted.

At that time, Callum couldn’t give her anything. As such, she accepted Eric and dumped Callum. Then, she left the country and moved into Eric’s place. Eric kept his promise as he spent lots of money to promote her.

If Eric started despising her, she might lose everything. When that happened, she would become a C- list actress who had no choice but to sleep with other powerful men to get a job.

However, Eric didn’t love her, so he wasn’t curious about what had happened to her before. He gave her a gloomy look before turning to Elspeth with a smile. “Let’s ignore her. What do you need help with?” He started speaking in a foreign language again.

Elspeth nodded. “Come along with me to the film set. I’ll tell you when we get there.”

They then left the place together. As Emma watched them leave, she yelled, “Are you dumping me, Eric?”

Naturally, Eric wouldn’t want to miss the chance of spending time with Elspeth. Upon hearing Emma’s words, he turned his head with an icy gaze. “If you don’t stop making a scene, I’ll dump you.”

Emma collapsed on her bottom and fell into a dazed state.

After getting into a car, Elspeth and Eric headed straight to the film set.

While on their way, Eric gazed at Elspeth’s profile as emotions undulated in his heart.

“If not for the fact that you have a partner, I would’ve dumped Emma and wooed you instead.”

It was the first time Eric spoke to her in the local language. Perhaps he believed that he had to confess his love for Elspeth in her language.

Elspeth shook her head. “You don’t have to dump her for me. I’ve never loved you, so there’s no need for you to woo me.”

“Alright, then. It seems that we’re not meant to be together.”

Eric shrugged and left this topic behind.

When they arrived at the film set, they left the vehicle together. Soon, they attracted everyone’s attention; they wondered about the nature of their relationship as the beautiful woman and the handsome man left the car together.

Nevertheless, they knew who Elspeth was and that her partner was Callum. As such, they wouldn’t dare say anything.

Right then, Yelena emerged from the crowd. When she saw Elspeth standing beside an attractive man, she beamed. “Have you found a new boyfriend or something, Elspeth?”

Eric smiled charmingly and took Yelena’s hand before kissing the back of it.

“Hi there, beautiful young lady. My name is Eric. Nice to meet you.”

Yelena smiled bashfully. “Hi. My name is—”

Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.

When she looked up, she was surprised to see Max’s furious expression.

“Why are you here, Max?”

Max had been trying to restrain his temper for a while, but he couldn’t help blowing his top at this moment. “What’s wrong? Have I disrupted your conversation with a foreign hunk?”

Yelena pouted. “Well, it’s only natural that women love looking at charming men. You should respect what I love to do.”

“What are you talking about, Yelena? You’re being flirtatious, don’t you know that?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Max was starting to lose control.

“Hey! I love you, but you don’t love me back. You’re not my boyfriend. What right do you have to butt into my affairs?”

How dare he say that I’m flirtatious? In that case, why didn’t he accept me when I wooed him back then?
