Chapter 76 - A Trap (1/2)

Ch-75

Eleanor thought that Myna's words were really meaningful. Marrying Cedric… was something she was looking forward to now. If she were to have the wedding right now… it would be like she was taunting Myna. She doesn't want to do that. Having a wedding after her brother woke up, was really good. She didn't realize it, but there was a smile on her face.

Eleanor and Myna finished their food and left after paying the bill. ”Myna, I need to buy a dress for my sister-in-law. I wore her clothes and I can't return the ones I wore. Come with me, select a good dress or some gift to her,” Eleanor said.

”Hmm… what does she do?” Myna asked, as she took few steps forward.

”She is eighteen. From Cedric I heard she would turn 19 in a week or so. And as for what she does… from him I got to know that… the moment she turned 18, she joined police forces. I heard she returned but never got to meet her in person,” Eleanor said.

”Oh! That's awesome! Dammit! I would like to meet her if time permits!” Myna said with a fan Girling expression.

”First I have to meet her,” Eleanor said.

”You didn't meet her. News said that she was at the banquet and left the banquet at 1.A.M.” Myna said feeling confused.

Indeed, even Eleanor felt confused. Why didn't she meet his family there? Won't they give speech there? Yeah… she saw his father giving speech there. But not his sister. Maybe as the news said she was well hidden by her family.

”Hm… she is a little girl. And in the police forces and you need to compensate her dress and also her birthday is coming. You need to pick a best gift for her,” Myna said.

”How about a dress?” Eleanor said again. From the start she wanted to buy a dress but she wasn't sure if she has to go for it or not.

”Nope!” Myna said.

”Give something she likes and inspired the most.” Myna added.

”Postpone this shopping for another day. There is a week time for her birthday. Think hard and give her a thoughtful gift.” Myna said again.

Indeed, Eleanor was bit careless here. She needs to know her well before she buys something to her. She decided to meet Cedric before she goes home.

”Ele…” Myna called out suddenly.

”Hmm?” Eleanor responded.

”How about we visit your brother now? It's not late too,” Myna offered.

Eleanor knew Myna was concerned. And she even wanted to visit her brother after the shifting. As she said… there is still time to meet him now. She nodded her head at her, agreeing to her suggestion. She called Cedric and asked him to take them to the hospital, for which Cedric agreed readily.

Meanwhile…

Cedric finally let out a breath of air as his father-in-law set him free. Feeling relieved, he decided to leave quickly. He wanted to go on a date with Eleanor. But his father-in-law was looking at him like a hawk. Nevertheless, he decided to give it a shot.

At the very same time, Eleanor was climbing down the stairs, still in his sister's dress. Looks like she was worried about him. A smile formed on his face as he gazed at her. Eleanor felt like someone was looking at her with burning intensity. Raising her eyes, her eyes met with Cedric's eyes and she smiled brightly at him.

Eleanor sensed the atmosphere between them was completely fine. Heaving a sigh… she reached them. ”Dad, Cedric…” She called out.

”Cedric is leaving,” Aiden said.

”Oh! Won't he stay for dinner?” She asked Cedric.

”Nope! He has things to do,” Aiden replied for Cedric.

Cedric: ”…”

[Father-in-law, are you that eager to chase me out?] He thought in his mind.

[Yes!] His conscience said to him.

[What the fuck! Just shut up!] He thought in his mind and kicked away his conscience with his left foot, killing it instantly.

Cedric said nothing as a good future son in law. ”I will send you off,” Eleanor said.

”I will also send him off,” Aiden said.

Cedric: ”…”

[Can't you be obvious enough that you want to shoo me?] Cedric felt exasperated.

”Father-in-law, I want to take Eleanor to a date,” Cedric finally spit out his words.

”Nope! She is tired. She needs rest. And you are not married yet, I am still an uncle to you,” Aiden said clearly bursting the bubble of the Cedric.
