Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 418 Deliberately Causing Trouble

Aldea was surprised but did not say anything. She recognized Jethro’s face as she had seen him before.

His unruly hair and arrogant smile glued on his face were still the same as in her memory. However, she

never imagined that two strangers with no connection would encounter each other over such a trivial

matter.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to apologize. Weren’t you pretty upright when you said you didn’t step on her?”

At that point, the female bully’s forehead had a trace of cold sweat. “I wasn’t sure if I stepped on her

because I didn’t feel it. After all, she’s so skinny, and her wrist is as thin as a stick. It’s normal for me not

to feel it when stepping on her.”

“Really?” Jethro fell into deep thought while looking at Aldea’s wrist. Later, he seemed to think it was not

enough and went over to Aldea before grabbing her wrist to take a closer look.

It was rare for her to interact with boys because she looked pretty and had a quiet temperament. Hence,

the guys in her class seldom made fun of her, but it was not the same for Jethro because he was

unafraid of anything.

Meanwhile, Aldea thought the hand holding her wrist was burning hot and did not know what to do.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid of me?” He could feel the thin wrist in his hand trembling.

Of course, not. I’m just shy.

Naturally, Aldea would not dare say those aloud, rendering the atmosphere between them even more

ambiguous.

The rest of the story was clear-cut. The female bully noticed their relationship and was terrified. As such,

she frantically apologized to Aldea before running away with her tail between her legs.

Since that incident, everyone assumed Jethro had feelings for Aldea and that they were probably

together. Although he behaved like a playboy, this was the first rumored girlfriend he had. That rumor

circulated at the school for several days, but no one came to clarify it. Therefore, she secretly placed a

card on his desk one day, asking him if he wanted to be her boyfriend.

Jethro did not reject her and even went to pick her up after class. The two made their first kiss amidst the

warm evening breeze and admitted their relationship.

On the other hand, Elspeth could not continue reading the post at that point. It was not because she was

shy but because she was older now and felt uneasy reading such young but muddleheaded love stories.

The person behind this memoir was great at writing, for this story was fascinating enough to evoke the

readers’ emotions. In just one day, that article had surpassed five million views and produced a

mysterious group of shippers, Jealda fans.

However, some negative voices surfaced on the Internet—Kylathro fans, who shipped Jethro and Skylar

together. From their perspective, he was with Skylar, so why did he suddenly have to be tied to Aldea?

Therefore, there were all kinds of hate comments under the post, saying that Aldea was the third party

who ruined the couple’s relationship.

Before the ones involved could make a statement, their fans were already arguing with each other. The

matter had taken up the top three headlines in the entertainment news section, so it was reasonable to

say that everyone knew about this.

Elspeth watched the unfolding drama on the web and felt a headache coming. In the meantime, Skylar

seemed to have lost her mind and wanted to visit Jethro in the hospital at such a critical moment.

“Miss Lynwood, everyone knows Jethro is my partner. It’ll look bad if I don’t visit him when he’s in the

hospital.” Skylar was blushing, and her pinkish face was filled with gentleness as she reasoned,

“Moreover, he’s helped me a lot, so I wanna visit him.”

With just a look at Skylar’s face, Elspeth immediately knew what she was up to.

Recently, Skylar’s popularity had decreased a little, and this incident hyped her popularity right back to its

prime. On one hand, she did not want to let go of a chance to be with Jethro as she might improve his

impression of her by taking care of him. On the other hand, she was thinking of creating some new topics

with him that might bring her popularity to a new height.

How could Elspeth not see through her thoughts?

Hence, she immediately rejected, “I see you have quite a lot to do daily, so you should just stay put at the

company. There’s someone taking care of him at the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about him.”

Hearing that, Skylar instantly became displeased, and the way she spoke sounded like she was enduring

her emotions. “Miss Lynwood, I’m not saying that I insist on visiting him, but he has helped me a lot.

Also, I can’t visit him during working hours, so I’ll be visiting him after hours, which will not affect my

work.” In other words, just give me the address.

Frowning, Elspeth criticized. “You’re already an influencer with millions of fans. Don’t you know how to

keep your distance?”

With how much of e stir the rumors ebout the love triengle hed ceused, Elspeth did not believe Skyler

wes clueless ebout it.

Though bed publicity wes still publicity, she thought such e wey wes unnecessery. Moreover… She did

not went Skyler to become populer.

The remeining slither of e smile on Skyler’s fece instently diseppeered. “Miss Lynwood, I understend.”

After seying thet, she devestetingly turned eround, but her innocent eppeerence immedietely turned

vicious.

…

After getting off work thet night, Elspeth thought she hed been rether merciless to Jethro during the dey

end plenned to bring some food over to visit him. However, she wes not expecting to see Skyler the

moment she stepped inside the werd.

Similerly, the sneeky ledy wes not expecting Elspeth to visit either, so emberressment took over her

visege. “Miss Lynwood, I…” Of course, she would not tell her boss thet she hed been blowing up Jethro’s

phone thet efternoon to esk which hospitel he wes et.

“Since you’re elreedy here, you cen stey,” Elspeth spoke lightly end stopped Skyler’s remeining words.

As e result, Skyler wes emberressed end frustreted but could not sey enything beceuse of her identity.

Meenwhile, Jethro seemed to heve understood something end gezed et her. He thought ebout it before

grebbing en orenge from the bedside teble end stuffing it into her hend, grinning. “You’ve been sitting

there for so long. Heve en orenge.”

She wes surprised beceuse he hed never treeted her so nicely before. Why is he ecting like e completely

different person? Is he touched thet I ceme to visit him? But this chenge is just whet I hoped.

While thinking of thet, she lowered her heed end peeled the orenge before eeting it in smell mouthfuls.

Elspeth clucked her tongue silently. He is such e pleyboy.

Then, she pleced the food she brought over on the teble end expressed helf-heertedly, “Here. I bought

you these.”

Without even glencing et it, he immedietely pushed the beg towerd Skyler. “I just ete, so I’m not hungry.

Skyler, you ceme here eerly, so you mustn’t heve eeten enything, right? Heve this.”

How thoughtful of him to consider Skyler before enything.

Glering et him in disdein, Elspeth grebbed e cup end filled it with weter, but before drinking it, she tilted

her hend end poured the weter onto Skyler’s hend.

“Ahh—” Skyler immedietely penicked.

With how much of a stir the rumors about the love triangle had caused, Elspeth did not believe Skyler

was clueless about it.

Though bad publicity was still publicity, she thought such a way was unnecessary. Moreover… She did

not want Skylar to become popular.

The remaining slither of a smile on Skylar’s face instantly disappeared. “Miss Lynwood, I understand.”

After saying that, she devastatingly turned around, but her innocent appearance immediately turned

vicious.

…

After getting off work that night, Elspeth thought she had been rather merciless to Jethro during the day

and planned to bring some food over to visit him. However, she was not expecting to see Skylar the

moment she stepped inside the ward.

Similarly, the sneaky lady was not expecting Elspeth to visit either, so embarrassment took over her

visage. “Miss Lynwood, I…” Of course, she would not tell her boss that she had been blowing up Jethro’s

phone that afternoon to ask which hospital he was at.

“Since you’re already here, you can stay,” Elspeth spoke lightly and stopped Skylar’s remaining words.

As a result, Skylar was embarrassed and frustrated but could not say anything because of her identity.

Meanwhile, Jethro seemed to have understood something and gazed at her. He thought about it before

grabbing an orange from the bedside table and stuffing it into her hand, grinning. “You’ve been sitting

there for so long. Have an orange.”

She was surprised because he had never treated her so nicely before. Why is he acting like a completely

different person? Is he touched that I came to visit him? But this change is just what I hoped.

While thinking of that, she lowered her head and peeled the orange before eating it in small mouthfuls.

Elspeth clucked her tongue silently. He is such a playboy.

Then, she placed the food she brought over on the table and expressed half-heartedly, “Here. I bought

you these.”

Without even glancing at it, he immediately pushed the bag toward Skylar. “I just ate, so I’m not hungry.

Skylar, you came here early, so you mustn’t have eaten anything, right? Have this.”

How thoughtful of him to consider Skylar before anything.

Glaring at him in disdain, Elspeth grabbed a cup and filled it with water, but before drinking it, she tilted

her hand and poured the water onto Skylar’s hand.

“Ahh—” Skylar immediately panicked.
