Chapter 147 - His Change (2/2)

Maybe he was selfish and wants her to be with him no matter what. He was selfish in that he was afraid that his secrets may make her leave him. Ín his fear, he forgot that she has feelings too.

Eleanor was not calm either. Her heart, mind, her pervert self, and her thoughts were in a battle inside her. She was a mess too. Her sleep left her when Cedric snaked his arm around her waist. If not for the little disturbance in the dinner, maybe they would have a wonderful night or a night full of passion. And would have started investigating her brother's case with new inspiration. But… Now nothing seems to be working. Everything went haywire. She thought everything was going fine, but in a second everything flipped.

She rested her ear on his chest as she heard his chaotic heartbeat. She could sense that he was angry or disappointed or maybe both. But… Eleanor was even more chaotic. She thought they had a strong relationship of the kind that they could share everything but now… it looked like they weren't that strong to share everything. Maybe she was a fool to believe that Cedric wouldn't hide anything from her. A lone tear slipped from her eyes seeped into his clothes. One after another tears slipped into his clothes.

Cedric could feel the wetness in his clothes. But he was not in the mood to console her. He lifted her head and rested it on the side. Eleanor immediately wiped her tears and looked at him. She saw him getting dressed.

”Where are you going?” she asked.

”Somewhere. You don't need to bother,” he said in his chilly voice.

”Cedric,” Eleanor called as she walked behind him. She tried to catch him but he was closing the door.

[No! I should stop him before he leaves me!] she yelled as she placed her hand between the door. The door slammed on her hand making it bleed a little as she hissed in pain.”hisss…” she hissed. It didn't go unnoticed by him, but he was angry so… he ignored it. Why does he need to care? She rejected him just like before, just like in the past decade. Why is it always him who gets rejected?

Despite the pain, Eleanor went after him. Before he reached the door, she slipped in front of him. She stood between him and the door.

”Don't leave,” she said panting. She knew if she let him go now, he would leave her. And she couldn't bear to leave him.

”Move aside,” he said.

”I won't,” she said with determination.

”Leave!” his voice was a bit louder, it made her flinch. But… she didn't back off.

”I want you,” she said looking into his eyes, gathering courage.

”Really?” he asked with a mocking smirk on his face.

She nodded as she gulped in fear at his new change of behavior. She always saw love in him, but this version of him was new to him. But… she wasn't going to run away or leave him just because he changed behavior.

”Then sleep with me,” he says as he dangerously hovers over her.

She looked at him with her widened eyes. She was beyond shocked at his words. Eleanor… didn't expect this from him.

If that was what he wanted then she would give her. She just wanted some space. Was it that hard for her to have it. Then if it was… she wouldn't have it. Closing her eyes for a brief second, she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him with her soft lips.

Cedric smiles at her actions. She doesn't want him to leave. He wasn't rejected. He kisses her intensely. He carries her to the bedroom and throws her on the bed. Eleanor bounces a little, his throw was a bit painful for her but she said nothing.. She just wants him to be with her.
