Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 445: Why so sudden
Later in the evening, Eloise told Hector about it and couldn't contain her smile at the thought of how Rupert looked in front of her. Hearing Eloise out, Hector couldn't help himself, his eyes narrowing slightly and the corners of his mouth curving up in pleasure.
Eloise's voice was light and sly, "I didn't think that boy Rupert would ever see the light of day, but finally someone will be able to treat him properly. I'm afraid I'll have to call Aisly my sister-in-law." He said and poked Hector's waist, and the curve of Hector's mouth curled up wider and wider, his big hand gently rubbing Eloise's head as he chuckled, "Silly." "You're the one who's stupid."
Unconvinced, Eloise extended her fist and gave him a hard tap directly on the shoulder.
For all of Eloise's strength, Hector's face was unmoved by the beating, which was no doubt a tickle for him.
However, the words changed and suddenly became serious, his deep eyes fixed on Eloise's small face and he said in a serious manner, "Eloise I want to tell you something." Hector was suddenly serious, and Eloise couldn't help but sit upright as she laughed.
"What is it, why so serious all of a sudden, is something else going on?"
"Neither."
Hector moved twice to her side so that Eloise could lean into his arms and gently stroked her hair.
"The company recently had a project that I had to step in to complete, so I may be away for a couple of days."
It's not the first time Hector has travelled either, but Eloise has been very reluctant to leave each time.
Finding a comfortable position in his warm arms, he wrapped his arms around him and buried himself in his embrace, his voice muffled.
"How did this happen so suddenly? I didn't even hear you say that before."
Knowing that Eloise couldn't let go of herself, Hector said softly, "I don't usually see you clinging to me like this, what, suddenly you don't want to?"
Eloise opened his hand that was trying to pull her head out and continued to bury her head in his arms.
She arched and arched like a petulant girl, and even though she couldn't see her expression, she knew how cute she was now.
"I'm not giving it up, I'm just a little uncomfortable with one less bed warmer."
Hector lost his smile and could only circle the embrace tighter, as if trying to rub her into his body.
"I'm only going out for a day or two, I'll be back soon and won't stay there much longer."
"You haven't told me why this trip was so sudden?" Eloise asked, looking up.
"It wasn't sudden, the company had been preparing for most of the year in advance to take that project, I just didn't want to have a temporary problem, so I had to go there myself." He gently scooped Eloise out of his arms and dropped a kiss on her forehead.
"You have to behave yourself and wait for me to come back."
"Good." Eloise replied good-naturedly.
"I'll help you pack."
Eloise knew that this business trip should be important for Hector and did not delay him any longer.
With that, he got up and went to the wardrobe and took some change of clothes.
Watching that busy figure moving through the house, working herself up and down.
The soft light shone on her body, unconsciously seducing Hector's mind.
"Do you want to bring this tie along?" Eloise asked him as she picked up a tie and turned to him.
Hector did not make a sound.
I don't know if he heard or not, but his eyes were fixed on Eloise.
Eloise had thought he was thinking about whether to bring it or not, only to replace out after a few seconds that Hector was fuming!
Is it dumb looking?
Eloise couldn't help but laugh outright, not expecting him to lose his concentration one day.
Not bothering with Hector's opinion any more, he stuffed him straight into the suitcase.
The next day, early in the morning.
The first rays of morning sunlight stream in through the thin curtains, and the room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, except for the intertwined breathing of men and women. Hector's biological clock has been fine for the past few years, but since having Eloise, he has learned to stay in bed.
When she opens her eyes, Eloise's small, flushed face comes into view, her eyes tightly closed, sleeping sweetly.
Hector just looked at her so closely and suddenly felt that Eloise really did become more and more durable the more he looked at her.
Perhaps sensing Hector's heated gaze, Eloise wailed.
The white arm stretched out the quilt, blocking it in front of her eyes, and then turned her head a few seconds later, hugging Hector's strong, thin waist, and said petulantly, "I'm so tired from sleeping this night."
It was around eleven o'clock yesterday after collecting his things for him, which, combined with working late at the office a few days before, left Eloise still groggy after a good night's sleep.
Seeing how cute she was, Hector pinched her somewhat rounded face.
It feels so good in his hand, the softness of it really makes him love it.
However, he finally got up from the bed and said, "You get some more sleep, I'll go and clean up first."
Kissing the corner of her mouth, Hector immediately lifted the covers and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Eloise was still up after he had washed up.
Only one head is showing, a tiny one, but it makes Hector feel inexplicably at ease.
Following that, he leaned in to Eloise's ear and whispered, "I'll be away for a few days and will put Marian at your side, remember to send me a location before you go anywhere." Eloise hmmed, and then buried her head under the covers again, with a stranger-in-waiting look.
By the time Eloise gets up, it's a few hours later.
Eloise subconsciously tries to hug the man beside her, but her hands fall short and she remembers that Hector has gone on a business trip.
I didn't realize that I was more dependent on him than I thought.
"Get up and eat."
There was a sudden knock on the door, but before Eloise could say come in, Marian, dressed in black, walked straight in.
With that statement, he turned and walked out.
Eloise couldn't help but be a little surprised how Marian had come to the Rogers family.
When she came downstairs, she saw Mrs Matriarch talking to Marian and Eloise frowned.
"Marian came over today and said she was visiting Rupert, just as I was going to call you up, so Marian did it for the substitute." Mrs Matriarch said as she took Eloise's hand. "Miss Eloise well, the prince has sent me by your side to protect you."
Marian's tone irritated Eloise somewhat, with an extraordinarily assertive gesture.
Marian has never given Eloise a good feeling, and at the moment she has even less of a good feeling towards her.
But in Hector's favour, a brief greeting was exchanged.
Eloise had a casual dinner and went to the office.
Marian followed Eloise with a look of deep resentment.
Eloise also ignored it and just treated her like air.
