Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 467

Chapter 467 Margot, the Best Support

In the end, Blake couldn't help but retort, saying, "Lisa lost her parents.You don't even know this, and here you are, rubbing salt into her wound."

When Margot heard that, a pained expression flitted across her face.

"Lisa, I'm so sorry.I should've tried to learn more about you.Blake never told me about this before.I shouldn't have disregarded your feelings when I was talking just now." From NôvelDrama.Org.

She truly didn't expect Lisa to be an orphan.

Looking at Lisa, Margot was both heartbroken and upset.

"Lisa, if you're willing, just relax and marry into our family.If Blake mistreats you, I'll break his legs."

In the blink of an eye, she was on the young lady's side.

Blake thought his words could evoke a sense of regret in Margot, but he didn't expect her to be so loving toward Lisa.

Did she say shed break my legs? Geez!But things should be fine this way.

Lisa, who had never experienced the warmth of a family, would probably be very touched by Margot's love and care.

She might feel even happier this way.

When Blake thought of his future darling wife living in happiness, he felt that getting his legs broken would be a small price to pay.

"Thank you, Mrs.Winthrop..."

Lisa's hand froze as it held the fork.

The touching words had caused a ripple to spread across her heart.

"Look at how thin you are! Come, eat more."

Margot hastily placed more meat onto Lisa's plate.

"Thank you, Mrs.Winthrop, but it’s okay.You've already given me so much food that I might not be able to finish everything."

As Lisa watched Margot bustling about, her heart softened even more.She then looked at Blake, who wore a brilliant smile on his face.She suddenly felt that getting married to him wasn't too bad after all.

Margot noticed Lisa's touched expression, then gave Blake a hinting look.He immediately understood as he suddenly reached out and took Lisa's hand.

Before she could react, he said earnestly, "Lisa, please be my girlfriend"

Lisa was stunned.

Blake had thought of confessing before, but she kept thinking that the timing wasn't right or that she hadn't prepared herself yet, so she never said yes.

Now, under these circumstances, she felt that if she disagreed, things might turn awkward for him.

She then thought about how Margot had treated her just now.

Lisa nodded right away as a faint blush tinted her cheeks.

"Okay."

Just as expected, Blake really needed Margot's help to convince Lisa.He was so happy that he was smiling like a fool.

If they weren't dining, he would've picked Lisa up and twirled in circles with her.

"You finally agreed to be my girlfriend! Don't worry.I'll love you wholeheartedly from today onward."

He had been sticking to her for months, but he never gave up, and he had stubbornly persisted in following her.

Her heart wasn't made of stone, after all, so it had begun softening a long time ago.

However, she hadn't experienced much love since she was young, so she never dared to believe in love from anyone.

After all this time, she also felt that Blake might be the person she could spend her life with.

Lisa snorted.

"Don't just talk the talk.Remember to walk the talk too"

"But of course.I'll definitely do it better than anyone"

Callum, who had been smilingly watching the intimate interactions between the two, felt a sudden wave of discomfort.

Why did he feel like he was being compared? "What do you mean by that?"

Realizing that Callum was taking it personally, Blake shrunk back a little.

After all, he had always greatly respected Callum, so he naturally wasn't in a position to tease Callum at the moment.

"Callum, you're overthinking.I didn’t mean it like that."

Callum smiled faintly.

"Good."

In reality, Blake’s words had accidentally offended someone other than Callum.It was Max, who was keeping quiet at the side as he focused on eating.

His presence was so easily overlooked that when everyone was having fun, they completely forgot about him.

Out of nowhere, almost everyone simultaneously looked over at him.

Max was in a daze, and when he suddenly [elt everyone's eyes on him, he looked up with a bewildered expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

It’s just a meal, so where did all this come from? "Nothing, you just look like you're enjoying the food,"

Blake spoke up first and teased him.

"Yes, how can I compare to you? You just got yourself a beautiful girlfriend,"

Max retorted without any hesitation.

"I know, you must still be thinking about Yelena.However, since she had already decided to break up with you, let's not think about her anymore.There's plenty of fish in the sea, so why are you so hung up

on her? Am I right?"

Everything was fine before, but at the mention of her name, Max instantly exploded.

Thud!

"Can you not mention her name in front of me?"

He slammed his fork on the table.His expression was grave, a clear sign that this incident deeply affected him.

Blake realized that he had been a little clumsy with his consolation, so he hastily comforted Max.

"Hey, sorry.I didn't know that you'd react so strongly to this incident.I won't mention it ever again."

"Fine.Let's not talk about it anymore"

With that, he stood up straight away and went to the backyard.

Elspeth and Callum exchanged glances, then furrowed their brows.

"Shall I check on him?’ Elspeth suggested.Among them, she was the person closest to Yelena, so her words would also carry the most weight.Therefore, it might be more effective if she were the one who went to comfort Max.

With that in mind, Callum nodded in agreement with her idea.

Elspeth put on a coat and grabbed a scarf, then walked out after Max.He was already in a bad mood, so as he crouched by the lake and gazed at the desolate scenery, he felt even worse inside.

"Why did she suddenly stop loving me..."

He was muttering to himself when someone suddenly patted his shoulder, after which he whipped his head around to see Elspeth standing behind him, smiling.

"Miss Elspeth—no, Elspeth.Were you looking for me?"

Even though he wasn't in the mood for a chat, Elspeth was his sister-in-law and Yelena’s bestie, so he found it difficult not to talk to her.

"I'm just checking on you.How are you feeling?"

"How else can I be feeling?"

Max forced a smile as he picked up a stone lying next to him, then threw it with all his might.

The stone skipped on the surface of the water, generating countless ripples as it went, then finally sank into the water with a plop.

"Don't just wade in sorrow.Come, tell me.Is it because you still can't forget about Yelena?"

The two had been together for so long, after all.It wouldn't be easy to forget a lover.

Elspeth knew that he wasn't feeling too good, so she tried to comfort him in another way.

"Yes, I still don't get it.If two people were so much in love before, why can one of them just stop loving the other suddenly?"
