Chapter 136 - She Will Be A Good Mother To Eleanor (1/2)

Ch-136

”Nope! I need to go to the office. Some other time,” Eleanor said in a single breath and pushed him. As if she was having a marathon, she ran picking her purse. Cedric just smiled at her antics. She was still such a kid.

When she said no, he prepared himself not to touch her, but he felt it would be fun teasing her. But she just ran away when his teasing went overboard.

Cedric neatened his clothes and walked down. He saw Eleanor sitting on the couch talking with his father. He walked towards them with a smile on his lips. Like a king, he walked downstairs. Eleanor turned to see him coming down. Her eyes stuck on him. He looked like a Greek god. She regretted not continuing what they did earlier. Well… she got a lifetime to continue those things. Her lips parted at him. He looked too hot in his black suit.

Cedric noticed Eleanor was gawking at him. He raised a brow at her and threw a wink on her side. Eleanor blushed at his action and turned her head away from him. Regan saw this and chuckled, catching her attention. Eleanor couldn't help but feel embarrassed at her actions. Oh, God! What the hell was happening to her? Aiden just cleared his throat at her.

”I need to go to the office,” Eleanor said and was about to run from there.

”I will drop you,” Cedric offered.

”I can go by myself. The chauffeur would drop me there,” she said, trying to escape from his clutches.

”That is a good idea. It will be better for me to catch up with Old Zora,” Regan said with a hidden grin.

”That…” Before Eleanor could say something, Cedric cut off her words.

”That's great, Dad. I will listen to you. And Eleanor listens to you too. Right, Eleanor?” Cedric said with a smirk, which almost railed Eleanor's anger.  But… she held it on, after all, her parents, in-laws, and everyone were there. She shouldn't lose her control.

”Her silence is her agreement. Dad… we will take our leave. See you,” Cedric said and dragged Eleanor away, giving her no chance to speak or say something.

Eleanor: ”...”

Aiden: ”...”

Eleanor found herself being seated in Cedric's black range rover. ”Cedric, stop,” Eleanor said.

”What?” he asked.

”My purse,” she said. With a sigh… he went inside to get her purse.

”Why are you back again?” Regan asked the moment he saw Cedric back in the house.

”Hmmm… Eleanor didn't get her purse. I am here to get it back,” he said.

”Ayyoooo… such a henpecked husband even before you got married,” Regan teased.

Cedric went near to him and whispered, ”I am afraid she would run back into her dad's arms If I let her go,”

”Hmm… that's true too,” Regan commented.

”And I don't mind becoming a hen-pecked husband for her,” he said.

”Well… you shouldn't. If you, then you wouldn't be my son,” Regan said.

”Hmm… If you are done whispering, Let's talk Regan,” Aiden said, suddenly clearing his throat.

Regan gave him a confused look for which Cedric just shrugged and gave a thumbs-up, leaving him alone to fight with his overly possessive father-in-law. Regan tried to plead with him, but Cedric winked at him and left him alone asking him to fend things by himself.

No matter how cute Regan acted Cedric didn't fall for his tricks.

”So… come clean,” Aiden said the moment Cedric stepped out of the house.

”What do you mean?” Regan asked with a confused look.

”Come clean. I am not gonna repeat again.” Aiden said. Regan can sense his arrogance. He knew it was not going to turn out well if he didn't comply with his wishes.

”Fine…” he said, raising his hands in the air.

”Okay. I am all ears. Tell me what is happening,” Aiden asked.

”I already fixed their marriage to next Friday,” Regan said truthfully.

”Cedric doesn't know. Eleanor doesn't know. I don't know. And you made your decisions?” Aiden said with his cold eyes.

”I know… it would displease you. That's the reason I didn't bring it up. Indeed I asked the Bodhisattva hermit and found that coming Friday is good. I don't want to rush. That's why I ignored it. I only said this thing to my Butler but no one else though. After all, it isn't going to happen,” Regan said.

”What? Then why is everyone sending me congratulation messages? If you only said that to your Butler… Why are others congratulating me?” Aiden asked.
