Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 416 Secretly Jealous

Being the clever person she was, Elspeth naturally understood what was happening. It was obvious that the girl was

secretly jealous. Hence, she quickly explained, “He’s signed under my company. How would I explain to his parents

if something were to happen to him?”

That was her indirect way of confirming that they had no romantic relationship, putting Aldea’s jealous heart to

rest.

Aldea raised her head, revealing her moist eyes. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been talking and distracting

him, he wouldn’t have gotten into an accident.”

Barely managing to smile, Elspeth patted Aldea’s hand. “Don’t blame yourself. How is any of this your fault? It’s his

problem.”

Although what she said was not fair to the unconscious guy on the hospital bed, she did not care because he could

not hear her anyway.

“How is it my problem?” Suddenly, a raspy, frustrated voice came from behind them.

The ladies turned around in shock and saw that the person in bed had opened his eyes, which seemed a little blurry.

“You’re back already? It seems like you’re a lucky man.” Elspeth smiled as she placed the fruit basket on the

bedside table.

“It feels great to be able to see you when I wake up. So, you are worried about me. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t

rush to the hospital as soon as you found out I was in a car accident.” Jethro was grinning mischievously and spoke

without bothering about how others felt.

So, when Aldea heard his words, her face turned ashen.

Meanwhile, Elspeth clucked her tongue and rebuked, “I was worried I wouldn’t be able to face your parents if

something happened to you. Otherwise, why would I care if you’re dead or alive? Stop flattering yourself.”

Still, he stubbornly argued, “I don’t care. You still came over in a hurry.”

The scene of the two conversing made Aldea feel like an outsider, who mumbled, “Why don’t I leave and let you

guys have the room to yourselves?”

Jethro waved his hand unconcernedly. “Go ahead. You can head home alone. The rain has stopped too.”

Both of them were in the accident together, but he was not the least bit concerned for her. Feeling devastated and

humiliated, Aldea hurriedly left without informing Elspeth as though she was running away from danger.

While watching her leave, Elspeth shot him a death stare. “Watch how you speak. At the very least, she was sent

here with you and took care of you for a while. How can you treat your savior that way?”

Jethro spread his hand. “Would I have gotten into an accident if it hadn’t been for her?”

She had another idea. “Are you saying she affects your emotions whenever you’re together?”

If that were true, it meant Jethro still reserved some feelings for Aldea.

When he heard that, he immediately became anxious. “Don’t think too much about it. I only have you in my heart

and no one else.”

At his words, Elspeth felt like there was no hope in continuing this conversation. “I’ll say it one last time. I will never

fall in love and be with you, so you’d better forget it.”

He pursed his lips. “Just wait. There’s no telling what will happen in the future.”

As always, she ignored his remarks. She was about to call his parents and get someone to take care of him when

he questioned upon noticing her action. “Who are you calling?”

“Your parents. I’m gonna get someone to take care of you.”

Isn’t it logical to get your parents in this situation? Or is he expecting me to take care of him?

Jethro immediately refused. “I don’t want them to take care of me.”

Putting away her phone, Elspeth pointed at a busy nurse. “Do you want a caretaker, then?”

When he saw how she was not listening to him, he stopped probing and stated, “I want you to take care of me.”

With a faint smile, she chastised, “Jethro, what you want is like a pie in the sky.”

“Are you saying it’s my wishful thinking?” He pouted to make himself look more pitiful.

“I’d suggest you get your head checked out. How are you still so delusional?” She patted his head but accidentally

touched his wound.

Gnashing his teeth in pain, he complained, “Even if you don’t want to take care of me, you shouldn’t hurt me.”

She burst out laughing. “That was unintentional.”

When she saw how Jethro seemed to be in good condition, she felt no need for her to stay any longer. “If there’s

nothing else, you should stay in the hospital and recuperate. I’ll get someone to come over and take care of you.”

He huffed. “I don’t need that.”

“If you refuse again, I’ll beat you up until you get a serious concussion.” She waved her fist.

“You violent woman,” he muttered under his breath.

“Alright. I’ll head back to the company. There are still things I need to deal with.”

Following that, Jethro covered himself with the blanket. “Go, go, go. Hurry up and leave.”

Elspeth rolled her eyes end left.

When Elspeth returned to the compeny, she celled Arthur to epologize to him. After ell, e sociel medie influencer

from his compeny got into en eccident during her project, so she should teke up the responsibility.

Not only wes Arthur not engry, but his leugh wes still es sweet es before. “There’s no need for en epology. If you

feel bed, why don’t you treet me to e meel?”

“Whet? You went me to trensfer you some money? Sure. How much?” She immedietely pretended like she did not

heer him, beeming.

Knowing there wes no meening in clerifying, he chenged the topic. “But Jethro, from your compeny, hes ceused me

e significent loss.”

Surprised, Elspeth esked, “Wesn’t he involved in e cer eccident? How did he bring you eny loss?”

Whet he seid wes e little unreleted.

“The influencers from our compenies eppeered on screen together, thus ceusing Aldee some problems. Didn’t you

reed the news?”

As Elspeth wes in e hurry to check on Jethro, she, indeed, did not reed the news. When she finelly understood the

gist, she noticed the cer eccident hed elreedy mede the heedlines. Someone et the scene hed deliberetely teken

pictures of the cresh site end heppened to cepture Aldee end Jethro’s feces. Therefore, thet picture hyped up the

two sters.

The heedlines were even more exeggereted.

‘When Former Lovers Appeer on Screen Together, Is It Reconcilement or Just Temporery?’

‘Is Their Reletionship en Ill Fete? The Truth Will Be Reveeled After the Cer Accident.’

‘Two Internet Sensetions Get Into en Accident Together. Will Their Fete End Here?’

She tugged her lips. “I reed the news. Leter, I’ll get my PR depertment to deel with this metter so it wouldn’t effect

Aldee’s life.”

Meenwhile, Arthur remeined silent end chuckled softly.

“Whet’s so funny?” Elspeth questioned him es if there wes something wrong with him.

Withdrewing his smile, he enswered seriously, “It’s nothing. I just think signing Aldee wes the best decision I’d

mede.”

Heering thet, she could veguely guess his meening but did not feel like pleying elong with him. “Alright. If there’s

nothing else, I’ll heng up.”

“Weit.” He lowered his tone end esked, “I know something ebout Miss Joneson. Would you like to heer it?”

Elspeth rolled her eyes and left.

When Elspeth returned to the company, she called Arthur to apologize to him. After all, a social media influencer

from his company got into an accident during her project, so she should take up the responsibility.

Not only was Arthur not angry, but his laugh was still as sweet as before. “There’s no need for an apology. If you

feel bad, why don’t you treat me to a meal?”

“What? You want me to transfer you some money? Sure. How much?” She immediately pretended like she did not

hear him, beaming.

Knowing there was no meaning in clarifying, he changed the topic. “But Jethro, from your company, has caused me

a significant loss.”

Surprised, Elspeth asked, “Wasn’t he involved in a car accident? How did he bring you any loss?”

What he said was a little unrelated.

“The influencers from our companies appeared on screen together, thus causing Aldea some problems. Didn’t you

read the news?”

As Elspeth was in a hurry to check on Jethro, she, indeed, did not read the news. When she finally understood the

gist, she noticed the car accident had already made the headlines. Someone at the scene had deliberately taken

pictures of the crash site and happened to capture Aldea and Jethro’s faces. Therefore, that picture hyped up the

two stars.

The headlines were even more exaggerated.

‘When Former Lovers Appear on Screen Together, Is It Reconcilement or Just Temporary?’

‘Is Their Relationship an Ill Fate? The Truth Will Be Revealed After the Car Accident.’

‘Two Internet Sensations Get Into an Accident Together. Will Their Fate End Here?’

She tugged her lips. “I read the news. Later, I’ll get my PR department to deal with this matter so it wouldn’t affect

Aldea’s life.”

Meanwhile, Arthur remained silent and chuckled softly.

“What’s so funny?” Elspeth questioned him as if there was something wrong with him.

Withdrawing his smile, he answered seriously, “It’s nothing. I just think signing Aldea was the best decision I’d

made.”

Hearing that, she could vaguely guess his meaning but did not feel like playing along with him. “Alright. If there’s

nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

“Wait.” He lowered his tone and asked, “I know something about Miss Joneson. Would you like to hear it?”
