Chapter 207 - Give Me One Reason Why Eleanor Has To Forgive You (1/2)

Ch-206

”Why Can't she forgive me? Why can't she understand me, Dad? Don't I even deserve a chance?” Cedric let out his outburst.

Regan could understand his son's outburst. But again Eleanor wasn't wrong. From his observation, she already endured a lot. And his son was taking everything for granted without understanding her.

”Cedric…” Regan called out when he sat back in his seat.

”Do you know how your mom fell in love with me?” Regan asked. Cedric was kind of shocked to hear this response. He thought he would get an earful from his father but… this question is kind of unexpected.

Cedric nodded him in a no saying he doesn't know much about their story.

”It's kind of similar to your story. I met her at a ball held by my university. As a young successful businessman, I was invited there. It was a masquerade ball. I never knew that this kind of ball would be held in the universities until I visited the university where your mother was studying.

”I gave a speech about my success. Then… I was asked to pick a random girl to be my dancing partner for the opening of the ball. Many women jumped in joy and tried to reach me so that I could pick them up. But… there is one woman… who lost her interest right after hearing the announcement where I am allowed to pick anyone. She even removed her mask and threw it on the ground before turning her heels around.

”Maybe we are fated, I happened to witness her actions. I knew she doesn't want to be my dance partner, But I wantedly to pick her as my first dance partner. She gave me an unpleasant look before putting on her mask and coming to me.

”From then, I realized I fell for her at first sight. A new thing was added to my daily schedule. That is chasing her. Even though she never spared a glance at me, I used to wait for her near the entrance during the college off times.

”Finally, one fated day she was so pissed and came to scold me. That fueled me. I took three months to leave the company and took my dad's help to manage the company. While I dedicated myself to chasing your mother.

”I joined as a professor there. I flirted with her endlessly and made her fall for me in those three months. We decided to get married after she graduated. But then again she said she wanted to do a job before getting married.

”I was eagerly waiting for her to graduate just to start my married life with her. But I was disappointed when she asked me to wait till she finds a job and work there. It's not like I am against it. It's just that… she didn't trust me enough to marry me. It's not like I won't allow her to work. Why does she need to do that before marriage?

”I was pissed, frustrated, and angered. That affected our relationship badly. I thought we might close our chapter there only. But I am not ready to lose her and neither is she. So, I decided to have a clean chat with her.

”Then I said, she can work wherever or how long she wished to after marriage. And asked my question why can't she go ahead with the marriage. Your mother is an illegitimate child in her family. Even though her stepbrother and her father were good to her but not her stepmother.

”When she was about to graduate, her father fell sick and needed a huge amount of money to pay for his hospital expenses. Her brother was just like her, he was about to graduate. Her father was the only earning person.

”When they were struggling, Deborah's mother paid the hospital fee by staking your mother to a middle-aged man. Deborah's mother promised her widowed brother that she would let him marry Deborah to him.
