Love Comes To Me
Chapter 771: Sneak Attack

In the middle of the dance floor, Rowson could feel Eloise's distractedness as she danced.

Her eyes glanced towards Hector every now and then.

Rowson's eyes darkened and he led Eloise around in a circle, his tall body blocking her view tightly.

After the dance, Eloise said she was a bit tired and refused to dance any more.

With a smile on her face, Rowson let her go to the two children.

Once Eloise had left, Rowson's hand, resting at his side, squeezed unconsciously tight, the smile on his face completely gone.

At this moment Katerina has a smoking problem and is hiding in the corner of the corridor, swallowing a cloud of smoke.

A cold, deep voice rang in my ears, "Is that what you call a plan?"

Katerina was startled, and when she saw it was Rowson, she was about to make a few jokes.

However, when the sight touched Rowson's uncharacteristically icy scowl, it snapped to a halt.

For some reason, there is an inexplicable feeling of weakness in my heart.

She intuited that Rowson was in a rather bad mood and not the time for jokes.

Coughing softly, Katerina squeezed out a small laugh, "Hector is a lot tougher than I thought he would be."

I don't know how many gents Katerina has won over with her sultry face.

But Hector, along with the one in front of her, refused to buy into her story.

This frustrated her somewhat.

"Are you good or not?!"

Rowson couldn't help but be a little annoyed and looked askance at Katerina.

Katerina was so excited by him that she couldn't help but feel a little more motivated and raised her chin, "Who says I can't do it? No one has ever escaped me Katerina!" Rowson looked at her coldly and with great disdain.

"You'd better, don't make me think you're busty."

His words were full of sarcasm, but Katerina didn't feel offended at all, instead she smiled and said, "Thanks for the compliment."

Rowson's face was expressionless, the corners of his mouth pursed into a sombre line as a steady stream of repressed air was released from his body.

Katerina flinched and subconsciously stood up straight.

Smoothing the slightly dishevelled strands of hair behind her ears, she curled the corners of her mouth and winks, "Wait, I'll make it."

When she finished, she twisted her waist, stepped on her high heels and left in a graceful manner.

In the ballroom.

Eloise wiped the crumbs from the corner of Sweety's mouth and laughed at her for looking like a little fancy cat.

Sweety beamed and said softly, "Sweety is not the little fancy cat, brother is the little fancy cat."

Solomon is wearing a small suit today and his hair is neatly combed.

With tender cheeks and clear eyes, he is a delicate little square.

The face is clean and not a tabby, as Sweety says.

"You, you don't take care of your own food and you talk about your brother, look, how is your brother like you." Said Eloise, nudging Sweety's forehead.

Sweety grinned cheekily and threw her arms around Eloise's neck to pamper her.

Hector stood quietly by, watching the scene with soft, incredulous eyes.

At the party, there were many glances peeking at Hector, but he had eyes for Eloise alone.

Katerina stood in the corner, the corners of her mouth curving in an icy curve.

Eloise cleaned up the little one and stood up, but suddenly the sky spun around.

Hector was quick on his feet and immediately held her up, his eyes full of concern. "What's wrong?"

Eloise said shyly as she steadied herself, "Nothing, just a little dizzy all of a sudden."

At the same time, the stomach growled in a very untimely manner.

Hector understood at once and secretly regretted that he had not been attentive enough.

Eloise had been so busy tonight that she hadn't eaten anything at all, and it was a wonder she wasn't hungry.

Immediately he said, "I'll take you to get something to eat."

Then he instructed the two little ones, "Be good and follow Uncle Thomas."

The two little ones spoke in unison, "Yes, Daddy."

Hector nods and leads Eloise towards the dessert buffet.

On the way, several people tried to talk to Hector, but he ignored them all.

Those who were intimidated by his aura did not dare to do anything.

Only watching from afar, jealous of Eloise.

Eloise took a plate and fetched a few of her favourite desserts, chatting with Hector as she ate.

She was really a bit hungry and ate in a bit of a hurry.

But the food was not at all unpleasant, and Hector gazed at her steadily, with tenderness in his eyes.

During this time, the waiter was also asked for a glass of juice.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Hector instructed in a soft voice.

Eloise, with a plate in one hand and a dessert in the other, wanted a drink of water but struggled to keep her hands free, and her face showed a bit of distress. Just as I was about to put the plate down, the juice was already at my mouth.

Eloise froze, instantly feeling the stares around her blaze a little more. Embarrassed, she avoided it a little and said nervously, "I'll just do it myself." Hector swept around lightly and said in a warm voice, "Drink up, it's fine."

It's the first time in Eloise's life that she's had a drink in someone's hand.

A little embarrassed for a moment, but at the same time with a secret joy in his heart.

Gazing quietly at the man in front of him, how could he take so much for granted.

Seeing her hesitation, Hector's hand pushed forward again and a syllable issued from his chest, "Hmm?"

Eloise drops her eyes in panic, her lips coming up to the glass as Hector raises his arm to allow her to drink the juice without difficulty.

So sweet...

The face is hot and flushed with a light pink.

Hector looked delighted and wanted to reach out and touch her face, but reluctantly restrained himself considering Eloise's thin skin and the fact that it was in public. "No more drinks?"

The voice is low and pleasant as a cello.

Eloise blushed and shook her head, her eyes not daring to meet Hector's at all.

To hide her shyness, she took a piece of cake and shoved it into her mouth, a small piece of cream landing right on her chest.

The white cream is extremely abrupt.

Eloise frowned, a little distressed.

It would be rude to meet people with soiled clothes on top of them before the party is over.

When Hector saw this, he immediately said, "It's okay, just go to the bathroom and wipe it off." Eloise nodded, and that was all there was to it.

"I'll go to the bathroom then."

Hector, however, took the tray out of her hands and took her hand, "I'll keep you company." Eloise shook her head in a hurry and tried to pull her hand out.

"I'll be fine on my own."

But Hector insists on accompanying her to the bathroom door, and Eloise has no choice but to agree.

The washroom is rather out of the way and at the moment everyone is in the front room and this side of the room is almost empty.

Hector stood in the corridor with one hand in his pocket and within a few moments he heard the sound of water running from inside.

Just wondering when she was going to come out, Katerina ghosted in behind Hector on this side.

Lifting a hand to pat him on the back, Hector turned around and was sprayed with a strange gas before he could get a good look at the figure. His instincts were bad and he instinctively backed away, trying hard to see the sneak attacker.
