Love Comes To Me
Chapter 336: Don't get too happy

"Snap!"

Reeva's mother slapped herself hard.

Eloise was startled, and even Hector's eyes, which were always unfazed, twitched slightly.

She's too good for that!

Eloise smacked her lips when she saw that Reeva's mother's cheeks were flushed and even had visible five finger marks.

"Miss Eloise, I blame this nonsense on my mouth, if you're still angry, I'll ..."

Reeva's mother raised her hand to slap herself again.

"Wait." Eloise hurriedly spoke up to stop her.

Reeva's mother didn't really want to hit herself either, she just wanted to test her attitude, so she immediately braked her hand when she made a sound.

"Miss Eloise ..." Reevaâ€TMs mother looked at her expectantly.

"Well..." Eloise mused for a moment and said with particular sincerity, "You hit the other cheek and this cheek is all swollen."

"Huh?" Reeva's mother froze.

She... shouted at her just to switch sides and play?

In fact, Eloise only saw what she was thinking, so she deliberately joked about it. After all, people are elders, so they have to stop it no matter what, otherwise people will think she is a bully if word gets out. "Auntie, for the sake of my uncle, I won't bother with you. But I hope you will be more careful with your words in the future."

Reeva's mother was upset at being lectured by her, but put up with it for the sake of her daughter!

"You're right, I'll keep an eye on it from now on."

Eloise looked at Hector, then said, "Don't worry, since I've decided not to prosecute Reeva, I won't."

At these words, Reeva's mother beamed with joy, "Thank you so much."

"Don't get too happy just yet, I do have conditions."

"What are the conditions?" The joy on Reevaâ€TMs motherâ€TMs face instantly faded and she looked at her warily.

"Send her out of the country and never return to City J."

When she heard this condition, Reeva's mother's face changed at once.

Eloise knew that this condition was too strong for Reeva's mother, who loved her daughter.

So she added: "If you don't accept it, that's fine, then let Reeva do a few years in jail."

Once this was said, Reeva's mother had no other choice, even if she didn't want to.

"When Tristan wakes up, I'll talk to him about it and see."

"That's fine, I'll wait for your reply."

Eloise nodded at her, then turned to Hector and said, "Let's go back."

Seeing them about to leave, Reeva's mother hurriedly shouted, "Wait."

Eloise and Hector kicked their feet up and looked back at her.

"Thank you for being willing to leave Reeva alone," Reeva's mother said as she bent towards them discreetly.

Eloise and Hector looked at each other, said nothing and left without a backward glance.

Only after they had gone did Reeva's mother slowly straighten up and look at the empty doorway, her expression gradually sinking.

If it weren't for Reeva, she would have wanted to rip that woman Eloise apart.

If it wasn't for her, this wouldn't have happened to Reeva.

In the end, it all started because of her.

She is a scourge!

Reeva's mother narrowed her eyes and a thought came to her mind.

...

It was late afternoon when we left the hospital and it was getting dark.

The street lights along the road were on and Eloise turned her head to look at Hector who was concentrating on driving and said, "Let's go on holiday when it's all sorted out."

It was originally intended that she would go on holiday when she had recovered, but with all that had happened over the past few days, she was really tired at heart.

Just want to get away from it all and have some peace and quiet for a while.

"Good." Hector agreed, "I'll get Thomas to free up his schedule."

"Will it be a pain in the arse?"

"No. It's just that I'll probably be busy for a few days."

In order to free up enough time to spend with her on holiday, he had to move some important work forward, so he will definitely be busier than ever. Eloise pursed her lips, "I can't help you, I'll just have to work hard."

"For you, it wasn't hard at all." He smiled gently.

She found that he was now getting more and more comfortable with saying such love words, opening his mouth.

In time, it will surely be even better than Rupert.

Thinking of this, she put on her face and warned him in a serious manner, "Remember, you can only say such things to me, okay?"

Just love how careful she is.

Hector gave a soft "hmm".

Eloise then turned her head contentedly to look out of the car.

...

The next day Reeva's mother gave a reply saying that she had agreed to her request and would send Reeva out of the country.

It's a bit of a mixed bag of emotions, even though it's a request you made.

Thinking of the aborted child, and then of Rupert, she regretted her weakness somewhat.

It was really too cheap to let Reeva off the hook like that.

"Can I take back what I said?" Eloise asked Hector.

"I'll support you in whatever you want to do."

Eloise thought about it, but finally decided to leave Reeva alone.

On this day, Reeva was about to be acquitted.

Hector and Eloise went to see her at the police station together and both met and were silent.

It was a long time before Reeva spoke, "Eloise, don't think I'll be grateful if you do this, it's not possible."

On the contrary, she felt it was a shame that she would have to live in Eloise's shadow for the rest of her life.

Eloise smiled slightly, "You're overthinking it, I'm not trying to make you appreciate me, and I don't care for your gratitude."

Reeva gritted her teeth and glared at her with hatred.

"Did your mother tell you?" Eloise asked.

"What?"

Seeing her bewildered face, Reeva's mother must not have told her.

Eloise raised her eyebrows, "Do you know why I'm not charging you?"

She smiled and then said, "I made a request, want to know?"

"What's the request?" Reeva asked, frowning.

"All that is required is that you leave the country and never return to City J."

At these words, Reeva's eyes widened abruptly and her emotions flared, "On what grounds? Who are you to make such a request?"

City J was her home, how could she never return.

"Just because I don't prosecute you and let you off the hook." Eloise's small face went cold.

"Eloise, don't you go too far!" Reeva glared at her with hatred.

"Am I overstepping?" Eloise asked her rhetorically, "Am I overstepping the mark compared to you instructing someone to hurt me?"

Reeva did not speak.

Eloise smiled coldly, "I lost a child to you, I shouldn't have just let you off the hook, it was your father who begged so hard that I went soft and let you off the hook. But..." She gave a beat, "In hindsight, I should never have been soft."

"If you feel resentful, you may not accept my request. Of course, by doing so, you will have failed your parents."

Her words poked at Reeva's sore spot.

Reeva cares most about her parents, and she has to put up with it so that she can put their minds at ease.

"It just so happens that City J is not something I want to stay in, and thank you for giving me a reason not to come back."

Reeva put on a lighthearted face and said that she had gone to see Hector and he hadn't said a word or even looked at her.

She curled her lips in self-deprecation; there really wasn't much left of City J to hold on to.
