Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 44 Threaten
Hector calmly replied and then instructed, "Pick Solomon up after they finish dinner."
"Yes, Mr. Rogers."
Once the call ended, Rupert was beside Hector and joked, "Tsk tsk, bro, you're ruthless to even utilize your only son."
His brother didn't do anything these few days and Rupert was worried that he would accept the situation... now it looked like he had been worried for nothing.
Hector didn't say anything. How could he accept that Eloise and he really ended their relationship?
"Bro, just look at how important Solomon is to Eloise! You... you must increase your efforts!" Rupert continued to risk his head by pestering.
Hector looked coldly at Rupert and said, "You don't wish to have your three-month break anymore?"
Rupert sat up straight with surprise and quickly waved his hands, "No no no, bro, I'm kidding. You are the most important in Eloise's heart." "Piss off!" Hector fumed.
"Okay, bro, I won't bother you anymore." Rupert took his jacket and stood up from the sofa. He then paused as if he thought of something.
"Oh yes, bro, do dad and mom know that you asked the driver to send Solomon to Eloise's place?" Solomon had been staying with Patriarch and Matriarch Rogers these few days.
As he said, someone rushed over to the room.
"Hector, where's Solomon? Why hasn't he come back from school? Is he here at your place?" Patriarch and Matriarch Rogers came to look for Solomon. Both of them waited a long time for Solomon but didn't see him come back and went to look for him at Hector's villa.
Hector frowned as he had forgotten to take his parents into consideration.
Matriarch Rogers looked around the villa and asked with worry, "I didn't see him around. Is he in the room?" As she said, Matriarch Rogers started to walk to his room. Hector said, "Mom, Solomon isn't here."
"Ah? He's not here? Then where is he? It is so long after school had ended. The driver also isn't answering his phone. Could something have happened to him?" Matriarch Rogers was very anxious and was close to calling the police. Hector quickly assured her, "Dad, Mom, Solomon is at my friend's place. He is safe. Please don't worry. The driver will send him back afterward."
Matriarch Rogers was relieved when she heard that.
Hang on... friend?
She raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Was it that female friend of yours? How are you two progressing? When will you bring her back for us to meet her?" Towards the end, Matriarch Rogers' eyes lit up as she was hopeful that she would have a daughter-in-law soon.
Rupert pursed his lips and remained silent. What stage had they progressed to? To the break-off stage...
"You boy, can't you say something?" Matriarch Rogers became anxious when Hector didn't reply to her.
Patriarch Rogers joined in the conversation, "Why are you here when Solomon is there? Why don't you send someone to bring them back for your mother and I to have a look?"
"Yes, yes. How does my daughter-in-law look like? She must be very pretty for my son and grandson to like her so much. Quickly call the driver..."
Patriarch Rogers continued, "Yes, if you really like her, then quickly bring her back for us to meet her."
Rupert leaned back on the sofa and looked with amusement and laughed, "Dad, Mom, don't pester him. This daughter-in-law had escaped. Solomon is now trying his best to help my brother retain her!" Hector glared coldly at Rupert.
Matriarch Rogers became anxious when she heard this, "Hector, what happened? Did you scare her off with your temper?"
Hector replied helplessly, "Mom, I didn't."
"But it definitely had to be your fault. Let me tell you, you must not pull a face when you are with a woman. You must be soft and tender, and..." Hector frowned as Matriarch Rogers continued to nag.
...
Eloise placed the dishes onto the dining table and then dished some rice for Solomon.
Solomon was gleeful as he enjoyed the delicious dishes, "These are the tastiest dishes I've had these few days."
Eloise smiled and replied, "Eat more if you like them."
"Yes!"
What would normally take twenty minutes to finish dinner, Solomon dragged on and spent forty minutes eating just to spend more time with Eloise. After finishing his meal, Solomon said adorably, "Miss Eloise, I ate so much that I can't move, can I..."
"No." Eloise knew what Solomon was thinking but she couldn't give in anymore.
"Solomon, did you forget what you promised me?"
Solomon sighed as he knew that he couldn't stay for the night.
"Then Miss Eloise, can I come again in the future?" Solomon looked at her with anticipation.
Eloise could bear to hurt him and said, "You may come anytime you wish!" Even if she didn't want to, it looked like she couldn't avoid it.
Solomon was overjoyed when he heard this, "Miss Eloise is the best!"
Thereafter, Solomon spoke to Eloise for a while before leaving reluctantly.
Eloise sent him downstairs and saw Solomon being led away by the chauffeur. Immediately she felt troubled. If this went on, it was a matter of time before she met Hector. But she just couldn't harden her heart and stop Solomon from seeing her.
Eloise was unsettled as she went home. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped her. Who was it? Eloise was startled, turned and it was Josh. The incident that happened a few days ago was still fresh and Eloise's gaze chilled immediately.
She cautiously looked around and was relieved that there weren't any bodyguards. She then said coldly, "Mr. Thompson, why are you here this late in the night?"
Josh's face turned blue and reproached, "Eloise, I'm your father. Why can't you invite me in for a while?"
"I don't welcome you. Quickly say what you have to." Eloise said coldly.
Josh was very upset and went straight to the point about why he was there for, "Eloise, I need you to replace a way to contact Hector and convince him to let the Rogers Group cooperate with the Thompson Group."
This project was invested by the Thompson Group and the Gardner Group. They had already invested a lot of money and the project did not progress well. If this went on, the losses would be immense. Now they could only try to get the Rogers Group to cooperate...
After that day, Hector was so angry that it frightened the Thompson family members. After giving it a few days to cool down, Josh looked for Eloise again for the sake of the project.
On hearing this, Eloise scoffed and said coldly, "What makes you think that I will help you?"
The Thompson family repeatedly caused trouble for her and what gave Josh the nerve to ask her for help? Eloise felt that it was absurd.
Josh's expression darkened and replied, "Because of your mother."
