Love Comes To Me
Chapter 176: Hector Rogers gets drunk

Hector Rogers and Egbert Chumley arrived at the bar one after the other and the two sat straight at the bar, ordered their drinks and then got chatting. "I'm sure Mr Hector is as fond of Eloise as I am, isn't he?"

Egbert Chumley is no fool, this Hector Rogers has been around Eloise Thompson time and time again, if he doesn't like her, then what does he like, but even so, Egbert Chumley is a bit surprised, at first he thought Eloise Thompson and Hector Rogers At first he thought that Eloise Thompson and Hector Rogers were just acquaintances, but he didn't expect the man to be in love with her.

"Yes." Hector Rogers didn't deny it either.

"So you and Miss Reeva?" asked Egbert Chumley, glancing at Hector Rogers.

"It's all nonsense from the outside world, there's nothing between me and her."

Egbert Chumley was not surprised to hear this answer, the waiter brought the wine, both of a very high strength, and the two sipped as Egbert Chumley continued to speak, "I have known Eloise for many years and had to give up then because she was with Robbie Gardner, but don't want to give it up now."

Even though his opponent was Hector Rogers and even though Eloise Thompson had rejected his confession the other day, Egbert Chumley was not going to give up no matter what, he had missed Eloise Thompson for years and never wanted to miss out this time.

Egbert Chumley thought to himself and then continued, "The Rogers Group is a big family and Eloise is not for you."

It is true that the Rogers family is a large and complex family and Eloise Thompson would have been involved in a lot of strife with Hector Rogers. Eloise Thompson would have had less trouble with himself.

Hector Rogers drained the glass in front of him and smiled, "That's not for you to worry about."

Even when the Rogers family is complicated, Hector Rogers will protect Eloise Thompson from the slightest harm.

"You won't give her up, and neither will I." Hector Rogers spoke again.

After all these years of meeting the one woman he's been attracted to, Hector Rogers is not going to let go of Egbert Chumley, he's not just going to let go, he's going to fight for it.

At these words, Egbert Chumley couldn't help but look at Hector Rogers, who locked eyes with him, both of them exuding a powerful aura. The waiter was not far away and although he couldn't hear what they were saying, it was obvious that a silent smoke was filling the room and the smell of gunpowder was thick around them.

The two men didn't fight, but the glasses on the table were drained as if they were barred.

Both in love with Eloise Thompson, neither let the other get away with more and more wine and more empty bottles on the table, but both were still sober at the moment.

Only Egbert Chumley's voice could be heard, "I will do my best to give Eloise the best I can."

"My woman, I will give what I want, I don't need another man to give it to me." Hector Rogers' attitude is even more forceful.

Egbert Chumley likes Eloise Thompson, but so does Hector Rogers, who prefers Eloise Thompson and would even give up everything for him, and the battle between the two is left up to Eloise Thompson to choose for herself.

At some point, they both ended up drunk, with empty bottles on the table, and the barman called Rupert Rogers to come and take them home.

Woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, Rupert Rogers cursed at the other end of the line.

"Do you know what time it is? How can anyone sleep? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

The waiter was stunned and spoke weakly, "Excuse me, Mr Rupert, Mr Hector is drunk in the bar, could you come and pick him up?"

God knows how the waiter is feeling right now, he can't let Mr Hector sleep at the bar all night, can he? There was nothing he could do about the wrath of Rupert Rogers.

Rupert Rogers froze when he heard that his brother was drunk, what happened?

With that in mind, Rupert Rogers got up without saying a word, put on his jacket and rushed to the bar.

All the way there, Rupert Rogers was thinking about how his brother had gotten drunk. Did he have another fight with his sister-in-law? Hadn't they gone back home together the other day? What was going on?

Rushing to the bar, Rupert Rogers was shocked to see a really drunk Hector Rogers collapsed on the sofa, and then looking at Egbert Chumley on the side, for a moment Rupert Rogers understood the reason for his brother's drunkenness. It's not the first time I've seen my own brother drunk, but this time it was for love, which is simply a thousand years old.

Rupert Rogers had some admiration for this Egbert Chumley, who had the guts to call his brother's bluff.

Rupert Rogers sighed and then ordered the waiter to take Egbert Chumley to the hotel and then carried Hector Rogers back on his own.

...

On this side, Eloise Thompson hadn't slept all night and when she got home she was really uneasy about the two of them, so she called Hector Rogers, but there was no answer, and the same with Egbert Chumley. Eloise Thompson had to reassure herself that nothing was going to happen, after all, they weren't kids anymore, they were adults, and they couldn't possibly get into a fight!

Early in the morning, Eloise Thompson woke up with a black eye.

She reached for her mobile phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing Hector Rogers' number. The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and Hector Rogers' somewhat raspy voice came on the other end of the line. "Hey..."

Eloise Thompson paused, it looked like Hector Rogers had only just woken up, wouldn't he normally be in the office at this hour?

"Hector Rogers, you and Egbert... you guys okay last night?"

Hector Rogers woke up to a phone call from Eloise Thompson, rubbing his brow, his head hurting, but couldn't help but smile as he listened to Eloise Thompson's worried voice on the other end of the line.

"Are you worried about me or are you worried about Egbert Chumley?"

"What are you talking about! Seeing how you guys were last night, I'm not afraid you'll fight, I don't want you to fight because of me."

The corner of Eloise Thompson's mouth twitched, this guy is still jealous at this point!

Hector Rogers lost his smile and pursed his lips, "Nothing happened, just a few drinks and a few words, just relax!"

At that, Eloise Thompson spoke with relief, "That's good."

One is Egbert, who he has been with for years, and the other ... is someone he likes, and how Eloise Thompson doesn't want them to fall out because of her.

Hector Rogers on the other end of the line changed his tune and was heard to say, "But you're going out to dinner with another man behind my back, and that's something that needs to be accounted for, so I'll pick you up tonight, no running away."

Eloise Thompson had a good laugh, how could she have expected Hector Rogers to be there waiting for her last night, and to meet up with Egbert when he came back, the two of them had been drinking last night, and now Hector Rogers had just woken up, Eloise Thompson thought to herself that she was probably drunk! It was childish enough.

"Okay, got it."

Eloise Thompson opened her mouth to respond, knowing that even if she refused, Hector Rogers would probably come looking for her in the evening.
