Chapter 161 - The Importance Of Erics Hair (2/2)

”Eleanor, dad doesn't want to change the diet,” Aiden said in a low voice.

”What? I didn't get you, dad,” she said acting as if she didn't hear him.

”I don't want to change my diet now,” he said.

”Dad, did I say this to you?” Eleanor asked looking at him seriously all of a sudden. Aiden furrowed his brows and looked at her curiously.

”What, baby girl?” he asked in his dead-serious tone.

”That I turned deaf two minutes ago. Remember this,” she said.

Aiden: ”...”

A servant who was cleaning the vase couldn't hold it anymore and laughed out loud. Aiden glared at the poor servant, he ran off seeing his master being angry at him. But again… he sighed at his poor fate. He turned to look at Eric.

Eric who was waiting to watch Eleanor's next move felt someone's gaze on him. Aiden's eyes were filled with pleading looks which made him unable to handle it. Suddenly he realized that the ceiling of the dining hall and the hall or not clean. Maybe he should call a servant to clean them. And he should do that right away. He looked above his head as he keenly observed the ceiling and walked away to call the servant to clean it.

Aiden: ”...”

What the hell?

Did everyone forget he was the master of the house? Why does no one is respecting him? They should listen to him, not to her. What changed?

”Eric!” Aiden yelled.

Eric came swiftly, forgetting to call the servant to clean the ceiling.

”Where did you go?” he asked sternly.

”Hmmm…. Actually… the ceiling is not clean. I went to call a servant to clean it,” he said as he lowered his head.

”Then where is the servant?” Aiden asked.

”When I am about to call the servant, you called me, Sir,” he said with an awkward smile. He just hoped he won't ask him to sneak some food into his room. If he does that Eleanor would kill him. Her nose is stronger than the dog. If she smelled something fishy, she would make sure that… they would suffer. Once when he sneaked some food to Martin's room without her knowing, she smelled it the moment she entered the room.

She almost shaved his hair and turned him bald. How could he forget that? His wife married him just for the sake of his hair. If he doesn't have hair, even at this age she wouldn't fret to divorce. If he get a divorce at this age, everyone would laugh at him with their asses. And that too if the reason was just that he was bald, then they would laugh while rolling on the grounds. What if his children abandon him because he didn't have hair?

Eric knew this wasn't good. He shouldn't bend towards his master's commands and words. After all, hair was very important to him. And his future and family depended on his hair.

When Eric was immersed in worrying about his future, family, wife, divorce, children, and his hair, he furrowed his brows deeply. In the end, there was a horrified expression on his face.

Nope! He should protect his hair at any cost! Without his knowledge, he touched his hand. From tomorrow, he should buy a cap and use it to protect his face.

”Eric,” Aiden called him when he saw frozen Eric. But he didn't respond he was too busy thinking about his future. He could see that Eric was immersed in a self thoughts world, and he even held his head protectively. It confused Aiden.

”Eric,” he called again but he didn't respond.

”ERIC!!” he yelled this time, shaking Eric from his self-thoughts.

”Sir, where is my wife? Didn't she divorce me? Where are my children? Did they leave me for having a bald head? Did I become an orphan?” Eric asked senselessly.

Aiden: ”...”

What the hell?

Aiden was confused about Eric's behavior. Why was this man acting like a psycho?

”What happened?” Aiden asked worriedly.

Eric touched his head and saw he has his thick hair and heaved a sigh of relief.

”Phew… I thought I was bald,” he said with a relieved sigh.

”Why would you turn bald?” Aiden asked feeling confused.

”When I once sneaked some food into Martin's room, Eleanor caught me. And almost shaved my head into a shining bald. If not for Martin's interference my head would have been shaved bald. Also… I know you want me to sneak food into your room. I can't do that, master. My wife would divorce me If I turn bald. And my children would leave me feeling I am an embarrassment if I am bald! I can't handle it at this age. I will be a laughing stock If I am divorced at this age just because I turned bald. I can't risk my future just for your food. I am on Eleanor's side. I am sorry!” Eric said in a go and ran away.

Aiden: ”...”

Eleanor burst out laughing when she heard Eric's words. She didn't expect him to remember that thing. Even she forgot about that. Now she knew the importance of his hair, she can use it to her advantage. She found a weakness in Eric. heehee

Poor Eric doesn't know that the devil laid her eyes on his hair.
