Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 9 Felt Deceived

“What? What did you say?”

Rupert was taken aback.

Thomas also looked like he was at a lost.

They looked at each other confused and turned their heads towards Hector simultaneously.

Hector stayed silent and his face was stern. He acted like he didn’t say anything just now.

It made Rupert and Thomas felt like they were just hearing things.

But very quickly, Rupert reacted excitedly, “Brother…You said that you are going to get married, right?”

Hector had a cold look in his eyes, “You heard it wrong.”

“No way, I am sure of it! How could I hear it wrongly!!! Thomas, you heard him as well, right? He said

soon just now! What is going on? I just left for a few days and he is going to get married soon…”

Rupert couldn’t calm down.

The news was too shocking for him.

Because it was his brother that said it!

His brother was a person with complete abstinence like a monk, a man who probably wouldn’t get hard

even after taking an aphrodisiac!

And he said he was going to get married!

“Who? Who caught your eyes? Which prestigious family is she from? How does she look like? Is she

pretty? Does she have a nice body?”

Master Rupert was now bombarding his brother with questions, doing a background check on the

unknown bride like a worried father.

Hector leaned back in his chair and went through the documents elegantly as if he didn’t hear Rupert.

Master Rupert got even more curious, he was so curious that he felt giddy. He gave up and said,

“Brother…my dear brother, I’ll go in your stead to the meeting in the evening and the banquet at night.

Just tell me, who is the woman?”

Hector was getting irritated, his face turned grim and he said, “Get out!”

“I’m not leaving until you tell me who she is! You didn’t finish what you started, and you sparked my

curiosity. That was very unkind of you, brother.”

Rupert wasn’t going to give up, he looked like he was going to throw himself on the floor in full tantrum

anytime.

Hector sounded threatening this time, “Do you want to go to Country F for 3 months again?”

Rupert gulped, he was in tears.

That was unfair!

Rupert’s curiosity was piqued, but Hector wouldn’t let him on it. He wouldn’t be able to sleep in the

night nor eat in peace at this point!

…

At the Flower Community.

Eloise was allowed not to go to work. She was happy and relaxed and was looking after Solomon at

home.

Solomon was an obedient child, he followed Eloise everywhere as if he were a part of her.

In the evening, Eloise brought him out for a bit in case he got too bored. She bought a bunch of

ingredients for food and was planning to make something good for Solomon tonight.

She thought to herself, that this might be her last time cooking for him.

Hector couldn’t possibly continue to sleep on her sofa and Solomon couldn’t stay if Hector were to

leave.

She felt a bit dejected knowing that Solomon was going to leave soon, but she also knew that this was

just a miraculous encounter. They wouldn’t have anything to do with each other anymore the moment

Hector and Solomon returned to the Rogers family.

Sometime after dinner, Hector arrived as promised.

Eloise wasn’t surprised at all and she let him in. She said, “Dinner is ready. You can leave with

Solomon after eating if you don’t mind, Mr. Rogers.”

Hector had a profound look on his face, “Of course I wouldn’t mind, I also brought Solomon’s clothes

over.”

Eloise was taken aback, she didn’t get what he meant at first.

Hector then said, “Solomon doesn’t seem like he wants to leave, so I’m here today to discuss a matter

with you, Miss Thompson. Can Solomon stay here for a little longer?”

Eloise was shocked, “It…is not quite possible, I’m afraid.”

She liked looking after Solomon, but…she couldn’t look after him all the day.

Hector could tell what she was thinking. He had a serious look on his face when he said, “I know that it

will cause you some inconvenience, but… I sincerely hope that you can help, Miss Thompson.

Solomon is a bit autistic. He acts normal usually, but once he throws a tantrum, he will lock himself up

in the room, thrash the stuff around him and even hurt himself. I consulted a pediatric psychologist and

tried everything I could to protect him, but there is no cure to this. Solomon never took a liking to

anyone before, but he took a liking to you. Henceforth my presumptuous request.”

Eloise felt complicated after hearing him.

She never knew that Solomon had such symptoms.

It really didn’t look like it. It even crossed Eloise’s mind that Hector was lying to her.

But she thought about it for a while. Hector wouldn’t gain anything from lying to her, instead, she got a

one hundred thousand bonus this morning because of Solomon.

She pondered briefly and didn’t reject the proposition, “I only know Solomon for about two days, I don’t

think it will affect him that much. Though… if you really want him to stay here, it’s not impossible. But I

can’t care for him during the day because I need to go to work.”

“Of course.”

Hector looked content seeing that he achieved his goal, he then changed the topic and said, “Is dinner

ready? I’m a bit hungry.”

“Hmm? Oh, yes, it’s ready. I’ll go get you some rice.”

Eloise realized that something was a bit off.

It was as if she was his wife and was welcoming her husband who just got home.

What in the world!

Eloise was shocked by her own thoughts. She felt a shiver down her spine and thought that something

might be wrong with her head.

After dinner, she prayed that Hector would take his leave soon.

But as if it was fate, it started storming and soon it was raining heavily. It didn’t look like the rain would

stop anytime soon.

Eloise looked outside the window melancholically, she looked blue.

Hector glanced at her knowingly and said, “Miss Thompson, I’ll be taking my leave. I’ll leave Solomon

in your care.”

“Huh? You’re leaving now? But it’s raining so heavily,” said Eloise with her eyes wide open. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Hector answered nonchalantly, “The weather report said that it would be raining heavily throughout the

night non-stop. I shouldn’t be bothering you as it is getting a bit late now.”

Eloise was reluctant after hearing what he said.

But it could get dangerous driving in such weather.

She couldn’t afford to take any responsibility if he got into an accident.

“Hey…if you don’t mind you can crash at the sofa for another night,” proposed Eloise a bit awkwardly.

Hector smiled with his eyes and said, “Alright, I’m sorry to bother you again.” He didn’t even hesitate.

Eloise felt deceived.
