Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)

Chapter 2

for Damoria. Still, no words were exchanged throughout the car ride to the city and the car soon stopped before a beautiful villa. Subsequently, Elspeth alighted from the vehicle and followed the other five into the villa. When they entered, they were met with the scene of an elegant-looking woman sitting on the couch. Then, Max began to complain, “Mom, we’re back! I’m so tired.” Observing her five sons, Margot Luvon chuckled and asked a servant to prepare drinks before looking toward Elspeth at the back. After sizing her from head to toe, Margot thought that the young woman was not as ugly and plump as she looked in the photo. Instead, she was very beautiful. As such, she sneered and said sarcastically, “You’re Elspeth Lynwood, right? You even went through the trouble of having plastic surgery just to marry into our family. That must’ve been hard for you.” Since Theodore had agreed upon the marriage in the early years, the others could not go against his decision despite not fancying Elspeth. “Mrs. Winthrop, I didn’t have any plastic surgery.” Margot snorted and saw the butler bringing in Elspeth’s luggage, so she ordered, “Mr. Graham, bring that luggage here for inspection.” A cold light flashed across Elspeth’s eyes. “Mrs. Winthrop, that’s my stuff.” “And I know that.

If that’s the case, I have no choice but to see what atrocious things you’ve brought with you today!” After saying that, she hollered for the bodyguards. When four to five bodyguards marched in, the others put down their phones and watched the scene in anticipation that Elspeth would be flustered and surrender, but she instead remained unfazed. Just as the bodyguards were about to snatch her luggage, a deep voice came from the doorway. “Stop.” It was Theodore who had just returned. He scurried over and looked at Elspeth with concerned eyes, asking, “Elsie, are you alright? I’m so sorry. I had a meeting at the company and only managed to get back now.” “I’m alright, Mr. Winthrop.” Elspeth shook her head. He then turned to Margot and questioned, “What were you doing? How could you treat our guest like that when she’s just arrived?” “Pfft! What did I do wrong? I only wanted to see if she brought anything inappropriate to our home!” Looking at Elspeth with a disdainful gaze, she did not feel like arguing anymore and went upstairs. Theodore sighed. “My apologies, Elsie. There must be some sort
