Love Comes To Me
Chapter 118: school festival

The night before the school festival, Eloise Thompson came home early from work.

Looking at the empty house, she couldn't help but see a glint of low in her eyes, and for some reason, Eloise Thompson thought of Hector Rogers whenever she was quiet.

The few days of peace and quiet had been both restful and difficult for her. It was as if Hector Rogers and Solomon had literally disappeared from her world; would they really never come and go again? Eloise Thompson felt mixed emotions even though she had pushed him away with her own hands.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang, and every time she heard it ring, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but think it was Solomon or Hector Rogers.

Yet it wasn't, it was Egbert Chumley, and Eloise Thompson's eyes flickered slightly as she returned to pick up the phone.

"Mr Egbert."

"Eloise, it's the School Celebration tomorrow, don't forget then! By the way, where do you live, why don't I come and pick you up tomorrow?"

Eloise Thompson smiled, "No, Mr Egbert, you have a speech tomorrow, you should have a lot to prepare! I'll just go over there myself, I'll see you in the auditorium then." "Well then, get some rest early and remember to send me a message when you get to school."

"Hmm."

Hanging up the phone, Egbert Chumley on the other end looked very soft.

After graduation, Egbert Chumley had many dreams of being reunited with Eloise Thompson, but woke up with an empty heart, thinking she was happy with Robbie Gardner.

Egbert Chumley never thought that one day they would actually be reunited, and with Eloise Thompson still single, he must make the most of this opportunity himself.

...

The following day, Eloise Thompson arrived at U of J in the afternoon.

The entrance to the campus was very lively, many clubs were outside selling some snacks and other various kinds of stalls. Over in the auditorium, the show only started at 3pm, but was open to the public, and quite a few people came, the whole scene, so to speak, was very spectacular.

Eloise Thompson couldn't help but sigh a little, she had held school celebrations before when she was at school, but they were never that big.

Walking into the school, Eloise Thompson sent a text message to Egbert Chumley, followed by a casual stroll around the campus.

Looking at the familiar grass and trees, her gaze couldn't help but flicker slightly, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but think back to her college days, when she didn't have many people around her, her only best friend, who later also left the country and didn't come back for a few years, the two of them only contacted each other once in a while, until now, they have completely lost contact.

On the walk, Eloise Thompson went to the former school building and playground, and on the way saw a number of couples, walking enviously in their school uniforms holding hands and laughing.

For a moment, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if she was seeing herself in the past.

Back then. She and Robbie Gardner were also out and about, they went to class together, went to school together, ate together and came home together... Robbie Gardner was so good to her, doting on her in every way, and they stuck together every day.

At that time Robbie Gardner was the departmental grass in the management department and a number of girls adored her, so everyone envied themselves.

But Eloise Thompson was also a great couple in every way. They were childhood sweethearts and were married, and many people praised them as a perfect match.

She was once naive enough to think that she would end up with Robbie Gardner, but in the end... it was Robbie Gardner in conjunction with Agnes Thompson that pushed her over the edge. Those who envied her ended up turning into mockery ...

As the past came to mind, a sarcastic smile curled at the corners of Eloise Thompson's mouth as she stood transfixed for who knows how long, thinking about Robbie Gardner and Agnes Thompson.

...

Meanwhile, at the back door of the school, Hector Rogers made a low-key appearance.

He was dressed in casual clothes, but not as cold and calm as usual, with a hint of casualness. A handsome face was still handsome, and his whole body exuded an elegant and unbeatable aura, and he looked dazzling in the crowd, attracting the attention of many people as soon as he got out of the car.

"Look, look, look, there's a handsome guy!"

"Oh my God! So handsome! Is he a student? Which department?"

"So mature, and certainly not a student by the looks of it! It should be a guest!"

"I'd love to go up there and ask for a contact!"

Many girls jumped at the chance to see the handsome, expressionless faces, but it was better to have a woman like Hector Rogers who couldn't resist stepping forward.

"Hi Alumni, I'm an art student in J University's acting department, can I add you on WhatsApp please?"

The girl was wearing a small white shirt and skirt, her face with a hint of shyness, and the bad girls around her were envious, if only they could be brave too.

Hector Rogers frowned slightly and spoke lightly, "Sorry, I don't use WhatsApp."

The girl was originally very confident, and as a result... then looked at Hector Rogers a handsome face, she was undeterred and continued to speak, "And the mobile phone number?" "Sorry, I have someone I like."

At the end of the sentence, Hector Rogers was already striding away.

The girl just now was so embarrassed that she almost cried, and the eyes of those around her went from adoration to sadness.

Hector Rogers walked into the school, there were many people on the road and he drew a lot of stares everywhere he went. There were many girls around who jumped at the chance to pick him up, so Hector Rogers had no choice but to cover his face with a mask.

...

And at that moment, in front of the Rogers family.

Reeva Lawson had told Hector Rogers the day before that she was also going to the U of J celebration, and she had thought that the two were, at any rate, on a date.

Early in the morning, Reeva Lawson got dressed up, changed several outfits without being satisfied, put on her make-up for a long time and worked her way up to the Rogers family, knowing that Hector Rogers would not be there to pick her up, so she took the initiative to come to the Rogers family.

After ringing the doorbell, the door was opened only after a long time.

The door was opened by Rupert Rogers, who had a sleepy look on his face and looked like he had just woken up. Looking at Reeva Lawson at the door, Rupert Rogers spoke up in confusion and asked, "Reeva, what are you doing here?" And all dressed up, what's the point...

With a smile, Reeva Lawson spoke up and asked, "Rupert, where's your brother?"

"Huh? My brother, out the door!"

At that, Reeva Lawson's face froze, "Out the door, but I had a date with him to go to the school festival!"

Hector Rogers had no intention of waiting for her, thought Reeva Lawson, the expression on her face almost hanging on.

"You're going to the school festival too, huh?"

No wonder! Rupert Rogers said to himself, "I bet you're dressed up to seduce his brother!

"Yes! A friend invited me to join him, and since your brother has already left, I'll go first too."

With these words, Reeva Lawson hurriedly left.

Rupert Rogers stood behind him, always free of sleep.

He screamed in his mind, Reeva Lawson was there for the school fete, this sister-in-law was there, Egbert Chumley was there, these four came together ...

It was over. Would his brother have a chance to be alone with his sister-in-law?
