Love Comes To Me
Chapter 226: Matchmaking in disguise

It was a long, lingering kiss, until Eloise Thompson was out of breath and Hector Rogers released her with some reluctance.

It was late in the evening and Eloise Thompson's face was slightly tired as he led her into the room.

Eloise Thompson went in and Solomon was sleeping soundly on the bed, and Hector Rogers, in a rare move, did not follow him in, but thoughtfully closed the door for them. Early the next morning Solomon stood by the bed and shook her arm carefully.

Eloise Thompson opened her sleepy eyes and spread a big smile at him, "Morning, baby."

Solomon pulled her up and when she had tidied up, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw breakfast on the table.

It's simple toast, milk, bacon and fried eggs.

"Did you do all this...?" Eloise Thompson enquired in amazement.

Hector Rogers nodded, "I made it, try it."

Eloise Thompson's heart warmed slightly at hearing him say that.

She thought it would be nice if he came down to noodle on rare occasions, but she didn't expect him to make breakfast this time.

Eloise Thompson hugged Solomon in a hurry and sat down at the table.

Solomon shot a glance, his eyes a little skeptical that his dad's cooking was edible.

Eloise Thompson, however, had already taken a hand in cutting a small piece and tossing it into her mouth.

Hector Rogers took a seat across the table, his eyes looking at her expectantly.

Eloise Thompson swallowed it and said, "Not bad!"

The corners of Hector Rogers' mouth rose at her praise, and the simple breakfast was a warm one.

After breakfast, Hector Rogers dropped Solomon off at school before dropping her off at work.

Eloise Thompson was about to get out of the car when he suddenly called out to her again, "I'll pick you up at lunchtime and we'll have dinner." Hinged with anticipation, the morning flew by and when the two arrived at a restaurant, they were shown to their pre-booked seats.

Who knows, they had only just sat down when Matriarch Rogers suddenly appeared in front of them.

Moreover, there was a strange woman with him.

Looking at the dress, it is obvious that she is a famous girl from a famous family, with an elegant and dignified air.

Eloise Thompson, clearly sensing that Matriarch Rogers was coming from a bad place, froze slightly.

Hector Rogers grimaced slightly and asked, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Matriarch Rogers' eyes fell faintly on Eloise Thompson, and although he nodded politely as a greeting, there was a hint of indifference in his eyes. Then, smiling, she pulled the woman next to her and said, "I took Synnove out for a stroll and didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence." She looked to Eloise Thompson again, "Since we've met by chance, why don't we have dinner together?" Miss Eloise shouldn't mind, right?"

Eloise Thompson gave Hector Rogers a look and smiled, "Naturally, I don't mind."

With that said, she even took the initiative to call the waiter to send over two more sets of cutlery.

Having planned Grandpa Fletcher and Solomon's birthday party, she knew Matriarch Rogers' tastes and ordered several dishes in a row, all of which Matriarch Rogers loved. Matriarch Rogers was surprised for a few moments when the food was served, but was soon replaced by discontent, feeling that Eloise Thompson was clamouring for attention. She had only just chucked in a piece when she introduced herself to Hector Rogers, "Hector, this is your Uncle Fare family's daughter."

Synnove Fare smiles delicately, a pair of little pearly swirls in her smile is very cute.

Hector Rogers didn't even give it a second glance.

Eloise Thompson was instead looking seriously at Synnove Fare, who, at this point, didn't even realise that Matriarch Rogers was actually introducing Synnove Fare to Hector Rogers. "Hector, don't you remember Synnove? He's the daughter of your Uncle Lee's family, and you've met before."

Matriarch Rogers paused deliberately, "However, she studied abroad a few years ago and only just returned a few days ago and thought she'd come and meet you." Hector Rogers was silent for a moment, frowning slightly and gesturing to Matriarch Rogers to stop with the nonsense.

Yet Matriarch Rogers took Synnove Fare's hand affectionately: "Synnove has a Master's degree in finance from MIT and will certainly be a good helper later in her career." A good helper?

Why does that sound strange?

Eloise Thompson was slow to react to the fact that this was actually a blind date in disguise until now.

She even inwardly lamented, "That was awesome."

Hector Rogers is a man of the world, and everyone he knows is a man of the world.

Eloise Thompson saw that Hector Rogers never said a word, and only then did she look back to replace him with a dark face.

After a long moment, she heard him say again coldly, "Mom, I don't remember knowing any Miss Bride family."

Synnove Fare's smile froze instantly and she smiled awkwardly, "It's only natural that a busy man like Mr Hector wouldn't remember me."

Matriarch Rogers' face was cold with embarrassment, but he also rushed to make a point: "Hector is like that, all he does is work all day."

Eloise Thompson mentally acquiesced and met Synnove Fare's glance over her shoulder with a glance up.

"After all this talk, I forgot to ask, who is this young lady?"

Synnove Fare is not stupid and has long seen that Eloise Thompson and Hector Rogers are very close. Eloise Thompson hesitated slightly, glancing at Hector Rogers at her side as she took a deep breath. Having decided to stay together, it would be better to open up with Matriarch Rogers.

After all, this is an extremely important step.

She opened her mouth, "I'm Eloise Thompson and I'm ..."

She was just about to say that she was Hector Rogers' girlfriend when Matriarch Rogers beat her to it.

"Blame me, I forgot to introduce you all to each other earlier." Matriarch Rogers glanced at Eloise Thompson seemingly without thinking and introduced her, "She's a client of Hector's." Synnove Fare was amazed at how a client could be so close to Hector Rogers.

Eloise Thompson's words faltered, and there was a look of helplessness in her eyes.

Hector Rogers frowned and tried to solemnly declare that she was his girlfriend, only to be cut off once again by Matriarch Rogers.

"Miss Eloise has worked with the Rogers family a few times and come and gone a few times and got to know each other."

In fact, Matriarch Rogers is not wrong, Eloise Thompson and Hector Rogers did meet because of a collaboration.

Even if Eloise Thompson wanted to say something to explain, she couldn't refute it.

But Synnove Fare always felt it wasn't that simple and pressed on, "I see Miss Eloise and Hector know each other extremely well, you ..."

Even though Matriarch Rogers saw the scowl on Hector Rogers' face, he said, "I got on at work and had a bit of a personal relationship."

Synnove Fare was dragged by Matriarch Rogers, who had come to meet Hector Rogers, and seeing him with a woman close to him, he naturally had to ask about it.

She asked about their relationship and Matriarch Rogers blushed and said solicitously, "Synnove ah, actually Aunty quite likes Miss Eloise and is a little selfish and wants to adopt her as her goddaughter." Matriarch Rogers again seemed to be treating Synnove Fare like a daughter-in-law, asking tentatively, "You don't mind, I suppose?"

Eloise Thompson was embarrassed, and it was only now that she reacted to Matriarch Rogers' actions that she was momentarily frozen.

She had no idea how to deal with the situation.
