Love Comes To Me
Chapter 261: Half a catty for eight twain

Had it been anyone else, they might have taken her word for it.

But Egbert Chumley had known her for several years and could not see the bitterness in her smile.

But she wouldn't say, and he didn't ask.

"It's better to invite each other than to meet by chance! Since it's such a coincidence, I'll drink with you." Egbert Chumley picked up his drink and looked at her with a gentle, light smile. In fact, he was worried that she might be in danger in the bar alone.

Eloise Thompson smiled and didn't say anything.

...

After agonising over the matter all afternoon, Rupert Rogers finally decided to tell his brother.

After all, his brother had a right to know the truth when it came to his lifelong happiness.

If, because of this, the two parted ways, it would be a timely stop.

Having made up his mind, Rupert Rogers went to see Hector Rogers.

"Brother, I have something to say to you."

"If it's a leave of absence thing, let's talk about it in a few days." Hector Rogers said without looking up.

The corner of Rupert Rogers' mouth twitched, "It's not a leave of absence, it's something very important."

"What could be so important to you." Hector Rogers still didn't look up, his attention focused on the paper in his hands.

Rupert Rogers got anxious, "It's about the sister-in-law."

At the sound of Eloise Thompson, Hector Rogers' hand flipped through the papers and looked up, his brow furrowed slightly, "What has to do with Eloise?" "It's..."

When the time came to say it, Rupert Rogers hesitated.

Do you really want to say it?

In case his brother really did mind, wouldn't he be the culprit in ruining their relationship?

Seeing him so desperate for words, Hector Rogers' brow furrowed, "If you have something, say it."

Rupert Rogers said cautiously, "Brother, this was posted on the internal JS Group forum by someone, it's not necessarily true ..."

"Speak up!" Hector Rogers was losing his patience.

"The post said that my sister-in-law had given birth."

After saying it, Rupert Rogers breathed a long sigh of relief and finally said it.

And Hector Rogers froze.

Eloise had a baby?

Seeing this, Rupert Rogers said, "Brother, when I was investigating my sister-in-law earlier, one of the years I didn't replace anything was mysterious, so I suspected ..." He didn't finish his sentence, but Hector Rogers understood what he meant.

Hector Rogers reacted quickly and calmly said, "I see."

That's it?

Rupert Rogers looked at the calm man in front of him with a surprised look on his face.

"Brother, that's not the right reaction!"

"Oh?" Hector Rogers raised an eyebrow, "And how am I supposed to react to that?"

"Shocked! You should be shocked to hear something like that."

Even his jaw nearly dropped in shock when he heard about it.

Hector Rogers pondered for a moment before saying faintly, "Vaguely guessed it before, actually."

"Huh?" Rupert Rogers looked at him incredulously.

Even guessing such things?

Hector Rogers did have a vague guess.

Ever keen, he could sense that Eloise was hiding something from him.

Earlier Agnes Thompson repeatedly tried to say something, but she was stopped, even with her mood swings.

Agnes Thompson is trying to say exactly what she is trying to hide.

Plus she was superbly kind to Solomon, so kind that one would think he was born to her.

At times it felt as if she was trying to replace something to hold on to in Solomon.

Thinking everything together, he sensed something vaguely, but didn't want to think things deeper because he loved her.

It was just that now that the truth was suddenly in front of him, he didn't know what to do about it.

Seeing him silent and wondering what was on his mind, Rupert Rogers sighed and said, "I can't believe my sister-in-law has such a past."

He was originally very supportive of Eloise Thompson and his brother being together, but knowing this made his feelings a little mixed.

It's not that it's not supported anymore, but there's a very subtle feeling.

He sighed heavily again, "Brother, if the family found out about this, Mom would definitely blow up and would never approve of you being together."

At that, Hector Rogers looked up at him and said unconcernedly, "I don't care what Eloise's past is, she's going to be my wife."

"But Mum and Dad care."

"Don't you forget, I've had children with other women too, so that counts for half a pound."

That said, Rupert Rogers was speechless for a moment.

By the looks of his brother, he didn't mind Eloise Thompson's past at all.

It's just that -

"Brother, as much as that's true, others won't think so. How many women out there have wanted to be Solomon's stepmother these past few years, and every one of them is brilliant ..."

Seeing Hector Rogers' face sink, Rupert Rogers was busy saying, "Yes, my sister-in-law is also very good, but she has given birth to someone else's child and there is absolutely no way that Ma would accept her. Are you going to be caught between two women for the rest of your life?"

Rupert Rogers can't help but shiver just imagining those days.

He couldn't stand it.

But Hector Rogers doesn't care about any of that.

"No one can change the decisions I make."

Seeing how determined he was, Rupert Rogers knew that anything else he said would be futile.

"Forget it, who made you my brother, I'll support you in whatever decision you make."

A small smile tugged at Hector Rogers' lips, "Yeah, well, you're still here, aren't you? If Mom gets disappointed in me, she can still pin her hopes on you."

At that, Rupert Rogers immediately yelled up in displeasure, "Brother, I'm supporting you and you're trying to use me as cannon fodder."

Hector Rogers laughed and then gestured for him to be quiet as he was about to call Eloise Thompson.

I don't know if she knows about the post like that in the company forum.

Given her personality, she would have tried to run away from him again if she had known.

Several phone calls in quick succession failed to connect.

Hector Rogers frowned, and a bad feeling grew in his heart.

He looked to Rupert Rogers and asked, "Is the post taken care of yet?"

"It's been left to be dealt with."

This matter has such a big impact that he must have had someone deal with it at the first opportunity.

Seeing that Hector Rogers' face didn't look right, Rupert Rogers asked tentatively, "Is my sister-in-law not answering the phone?"

"I'll go home and keep an eye on the company."

Hector Rogers grabbed his jacket and put it on, striding out.

As he walked to the door, he turned back and admonished in a serious tone, "You'd better pretend you don't know about this."

Rupert Rogers understood his intentions and nodded, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."

...

As the car sped down the road, Hector Rogers' gaze sank to the road ahead and his grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily. Eloise's mobile has not been working.

His greatest fear now was that she would replace out about the post, and it would certainly be unacceptable for what she had been hiding to be made public in this way. There is a real fear that she will once again choose to run far away.

It was only after a long time that she was willing to accept him, and the two of them were getting deeper and deeper, and he would not allow this incident to ruin their relationship. He wanted to hold her and tell her that he didn't mind.

All he wanted was her, and it had nothing to do with her past.

With this in mind, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped off in the direction of home.
