Love Comes To Me
Chapter 167: I'm not good enough for you

After Eloise Thompson made a hasty escape, Egbert Chumley got up right after her and apologised with Eloise Thompson's bag and phone, saying, "Sorry, Eloise and I will go first." How could the meal continue in this situation now?

Reeva Lawson smiled and nodded, "Mr Egbert get on to Miss Eloise!"

Egbert Chumley turned and left, explaining that Linn Dail would have her sent back later.

"Yes, thank you Mr Egbert."

Linn Dail nodded a little confused as she sat in her seat.

After several people had gone, Hector Rogers, his face slightly sunken, also got up with the intention of leaving.

"Hector, where are you going?" Reeva Lawson asked, speaking up, she couldn't help but be a little concerned that Hector Rogers wasn't going to stop Egbert Chumley from getting to Eloise Thompson? "Go back and rest."

The cool voice fell and Hector Rogers was already striding out of the restaurant.

"Not eating?"

Reeva Lawson asked as she followed him out, clearly sensing that Hector Rogers was angry, or jealous, if you will.

She was jealous of Eloise Thompson, and for a moment Reeva Lawson's heart went wild with jealousy.

Still, on the way back, she smiled and spoke up, "Hector, this Mr Egbert seems so good, and he and Miss Eloise have known each other for a long time, and have liked her for so many years, and I wonder if the two will get together." Hector Rogers did not speak, his eyes twinkling slightly, Eloise Thompson and Egbert Chumley together, an impossibility.

...

Over here, Eloise Thompson went to the bathroom to calm down.

She had thought that tonight would be a simple dinner, but she had not expected that this would happen.

Eloise Thompson couldn't believe that Egbert, who had always been a good and handsome man, had liked her many years ago, but the truth was there.

But I have always treated Egbert Chumley as Egbert and always looked up to him as a role model... It's over, how can I face Egbert in the future?

Eloise Thompson came out of the bathroom and saw Egbert Chumley waiting outside.

Seeing Eloise Thompson, Egbert Chumley stepped forward and spoke slightly apologetically, "Eloise, sorry for the suddenness of what just happened, let's go back now!"

"Hmm." Eloise Thompson nodded, still a little embarrassed for a moment, and not daring to look Egbert Chumley in the eye.

Walking out of the restaurant, where the seats had been empty earlier, Egbert Chumley spoke up, "I've had Linn Dail sent back, and Mr Hector and Miss Reeva should be gone too."

At that, Eloise Thompson didn't say anything, except that she couldn't help but think of Hector Rogers and wondered what was on his mind right now, or had he gone to dinner with Reeva Lawson at another restaurant?

Eloise Thompson, her mind in a tizzy, followed Egbert Chumley out of the restaurant and back to the hotel in her car.

The atmosphere was quite awkward all the way, after all Eloise Thompson didn't know what to say, and when they arrived at the hotel and got out of the car, Egbert Chumley opened the door for Eloise Thompson. "Thanks Egbert for the ride back, I'll go up first then, take care on your way."

Having said that, Eloise Thompson wanted to leave.

But Egbert Chumley took her wrist and only heard him speak slowly, "Eloise, I know what just happened was a bit sudden for you, but what I said was true, I've been in love with you all these years." Eloise Thompson's head exploded at the words of the confession, and she didn't know what to say at that moment.

Egbert Chumley let go of Eloise Thompson and continued to speak, "When I was in the student union earlier, my admiration for you went from an initial admiration to a liking, and I wanted to replace a chance to confess my love for you then, but

...

п

But Eloise Thompson and Robbie Gardner got together, and the two were happy. Egbert Chumley, during that time, couldn't have been more difficult, as he was often distracted at student council meetings, deserted class, had big problems with exams, was reprimanded by his teacher, and was even facing a big threat to his position as student council president.

Egbert Chumley never thought he would one day be this dishevelled, but it was really hard for him inside.

It was Eloise Thompson who later comforted Egbert Chumley by asking him if something was on his mind.

Egbert Chumley at the time smiled and just wanted to say that she was the one who was on his mind!

Egbert Chumley remembers when Eloise Thompson said, "Egbert, nothing is too much, no matter what happens, you're still the same Egbert I admire, you must go for it! We're still in the Student Council together!"

Later on, Egbert Chumley resumed his old condition, he couldn't let the girl he liked down on him, Egbert Chumley focused all his attention on his studies, the youthful fondness, he didn't mention it to anyone and didn't tell the girl. After graduation, she was even less bothered.

"Eloise, you know what? I had given up for years, and although I was sorry in my heart, I didn't want to bother you anymore thinking that you were happy with Robbie Gardner now, but after reuniting some time ago and learning that you and he had split up, I wanted to fight for myself too."

Egbert Chumley had planned to take some time off before confessing his love, but Hector Rogers' repeated appearances at Eloise Thompson's side made him feel uneasy, fearful that he would be reunited and still not be able to say he liked her as much as he did at the beginning.

Today Reeva Lawson brought it up at the dinner table and Egbert Chumley finally got up the courage to admit that he had always liked her.

"Eloise, you don't have to feel any burden, even if you reject me, I will still be your Egbert in the future."

Eloise Thompson lowered her eyes, thinking back, Egbert Chumley did treat her well when she was at school, and she didn't notice it at the time. She was still foolish enough to think that Egbert Chumley might have liked someone else during the previous school day, but she never thought it would be herself that he liked.

For a moment, Eloise Thompson had some mixed emotions but spoke up, "Sorry Egbert, I'm not thinking about it that much right now so ..."

At these words, Egbert Chumley's eyes darkened and he was lost in thought. Was it because he didn't like him or did he have someone he liked? Is that person Hector Rogers ...

It's okay, I already knew, but I won't give up, Eloise, I hope you can still spend time with me as you did before, don't avoid me because of this, I don't want to cause you any problems. "

Egbert was thinking so much about his feelings, and Eloise Thompson felt even more guilty, she had always admired Egbert Chumley also thought the man was wonderful, but... Eloise Thompson had to admit that she had someone else in her heart now, and And Egbert Chumley wasn't her type either.

Since it's not possible, try not to get your hopes up, so Eloise Thompson spoke up again, "Egbert you're so good, you're bound to meet someone better, I don't deserve you."
