Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 139

“Miss Lynwood, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?”

Jordan’s speech retained its carefree tone as if nothing in the world was worth his time.

“I’m fine, Mr. Carr. I believe you are overly concerned about me.”

Although Jordan had no ulterior purpose for Elspeth, his look suggested an impure motive.

“It’s something I’ve said before. I respect you, so it’s natural for me to be concerned about you.” Jordan laughed

and moved in closer. “If you insist on a reason, it’s because I adore you.”

Elspeth was terrified when she peered into his beaming eyes. “There are a lot of ladies in the world. Why can’t you

just let me go?”

“It’s not about not letting you go. It is because you have something I like.” Jordan swirled the wine glass in his palm,

feeling rather happy. “You know I’ve been missing you for a long time.”

Elspeth was anxious, but she didn’t want to say anything too harsh because they were in public.

“I’m not sure how you feel about me, but I don’t like the vibe you give me.”

Jordan shook his head. “You’ll like it someday.”

Elspeth couldn’t answer and didn’t want to, so she lowered her head and sipped her drink.

After some time, she felt hot and went to the open-air balcony to get some fresh air.

It was winter and the air was so chilly that it made one’s heart shiver.

Elspeth drew her plush coat closer to her body as her nose turned bright red from the cold. However, the confusion

in her head was relieved.

Before she could react, she heard quiet sobs and a man speaking from the corner.

Elspeth recognized the two voices, so she held her ground and leaned in to listen to them.

“Can you explain why you’re rejecting me, Max?”

Yelena lowered her head and sobbed softly as she was afraid of drawing attention to herself if she cried too loudly.

Her makeup was also in disarray due to her tears, yet she still looked cute.

“I told you I don’t care about you. Plus, you already have a boyfriend. You’re a dreadful two-timer!”

It was obvious that Max had misunderstood something, which was why his words were so cruel.

“No! Finn is not my lover. He’s my cousin!”

Max was taken aback. He had not anticipated such a relationship.

Indeed, Yelena did not appear to be such a free spirit. She would be unable to hug boys other than her cousin.

In a hurry, she explained, “He is my aunt’s son and my cousin. Although he and I have a wonderful relationship, it is

not what you assume.”

Max was becoming very embarrassed. His mood significantly improved after he realized he had misunderstood.

“I got it.”

He couldn’t exhibit his happiness publicly because it wasn’t like him. As a result, he could only nod to indicate that

he understood.

“Are you now my boyfriend?”

Regardless of how foolish Yelena was, she could perceive a difference in Max’s mood and attitude. She smiled

through tears and her eyes sparkled as she sought his approval.

She deserved to be a star. She looked beautiful when she smiled after professional training.

Elspeth quietly sighed as she watched from the sidelines.

Max couldn’t bear it, no matter how oblivious he was.

Sure enough, Max flushed immediately. “I said no such thing. Don’t say anything stupid!”

“Oh, please. You mentioned something previously. You said you got it. What did you get? You can see my feelings

for you. Doesn’t that imply you accept my confession?”

Yelena was the best at arguing.

Max couldn’t win against her, so his gaze darted around before deciding to flee.

She held him back anxiously, knowing he was about to flee. Due to inertia, she fell on him the very next second.

Max was taken aback because he had never experienced anything like that before.

“What exactly are you doing, Yelena?”

Yelena touched her forehead in pain. It turned out that she had slammed against his chin hard.

Why does this guy have such a strong jaw?!

“All I wanted was to stop you from leaving. Falling on you was an accident…”

Yelena stroked her arms and prepared to stand. The next second, she stepped on her long skirt and slipped. She

then tripped over him once more.

Max could feel his bones cracking but as the girl on him was innocent, he could only clench his teeth and swallow

his pain.

“Alright. Just get up right now.”

He would surely be paralyzed if she kept pressing on him.

“Okay…”

Yelena got up, filled with remorse. However, she slipped again, landing on him for the third time.

It was an absurd fall. This time, their lips unconsciously touched.

Yelena widened her eyes.

Max didn’t want to give her another chance to justify herself. He clenched his teeth as he stared angrily at the

perpetrator on his body. “Yelena Sullivan, what are you up to?!”

Yelena swallowed as she felt Max’s rage.

“It was just a coincidence!” Yelena got shoved aside before she could explain herself.

Max straightened up and wiped the dust from his clothes. “Did you realize that was my first kiss?!”

Yelena expressed her scorn in a low voice as she observed him acting as though he had been violated. “That was

also my first kiss. Why should you complain when I didn’t?”

Max flushed as he locked gazes with her. When he realized no one else was around, he abruptly ended his

conversation with her and walked away.

It was as if he were fleeing.

Yelena’s grin was silly as she caressed her lips.

He claims it’s his first kiss, which means I stole his first kiss. That’s fantastic!

She then walked off with light steps. From the other side, Elspeth noticed the girl skipping away. She couldn’t help

but smile knowingly.

She saw everything.

“I saw everything.”

Jordan arrived out of nowhere and spoke jokingly to Elspeth’s side profile.

At that moment, Elspeth had the impression that someone had just voiced out her thoughts. When she saw Jordan’s

weird smile, she sensed that something was off.

“What exactly do you want?”

He shook his head. “I don’t want anything. I’d only like to speak briefly about what I witnessed and heard earlier.

Didn’t you notice it as well?”

Elspeth was suspicious since she knew he was referring to Max and Yelena’s interaction. “So what if I happened to

see it?”
