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.

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?”
