Hayden Faulkner had always been a top student since childhood, acing every assessnt. This outsider definitely knows nothing, and when the ti cos, he’ll show him!
After Old Master Faulkner left, only Caleb and Estelle remained in the living room.
Having just been protected by Alaric, Estelle now found everything about him satisfactory.
She quickly urged, "What are you doing here? Go and catch up with Sister Eleanor, I’m waiting to call you dad!"
Alaric smiled and patted his head, "Mm-hmm."
He’s working on it.
...
Hotel suite.
The dining table was filled with various dishes.
This standard lunch seed a bit excessive for just two people.
Eleanor Sterling, wearing a Bluetooth headset, was listening to Liam Keene report on work.
Now she didn’t dare let Liam visit her anymore, not only to avoid revealing her identity but also because a certain shaless person had forcefully settled in.
Alaric Faulkner carried a plate of sliced steak and approached Eleanor Sterling.
Seeing she was busy, he fed her with a fork, considerately feeding her himself.
Eleanor was focused, subconsciously opening her mouth.
Alaric simply sat beside her and personally fed her.
Over the phone, Liam heard Eleanor’s sowhat muffled voice and knew she was eating.
He couldn’t help but tease, "I say, are you hiding in your room eating delicious food without ?
Suddenly not letting visit your room and insisting on phone updates, what are you up to?"
Liam, being close to Estelle, was already aware that Eleanor had struck up sothing with Alaric Faulkner.
That paternity test was even faked with his help, and now he was just teasing Eleanor.
Eleanor swallowed a bite of at and glanced at Alaric with apparent reproach in her eyes.
But to Alaric, that look had no deterrent effect whatsoever; instead, it seed to entice him, making him feel a warmth in his abdon.
His eyes suddenly deepened.
Eleanor rolled her eyes helplessly, redirecting her attention back to the phone. She lightly cleared her throat and said, "Just follow my instructions, don’t ask unnecessary questions."
That evening, because of a phone call, Alaric rushed over to block her, so how could Eleanor dare let Liam appear?
Liam sighed, "Alright, I’ve already inford The Hayes Family that you won’t be performing surgery for them.
They should be anxious now; when the ti is right, you can deal with them."
"Alright, handle it as you see fit."
After hanging up, Eleanor glared at Alaric in annoyance, "Don’t interfere with my work!"
Alaric smiled and replied, "I’m not interfering; you need to eat on ti or you’ll get hungry."
At that mont, Eleanor suddenly regretted letting him stay, wondering how she had impulsively agreed.
She snatched the food from his hand and started eating by herself.
Suddenly, Eleanor’s phone rang.
She picked it up, her expression instantly turning serious. Alaric curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"
Eleanor didn’t answer but swiped to answer the call.
"Miss Sterling, hello, the patient’s condition has improved recently and she’s woken up. Would you like to co over and see her?"
Eleanor’s eyes lit up. Aunt Jade had woken up!
"Okay, I’ll co over tomorrow."
After hanging up, Eleanor announced, "Aunt Jade woke up, I have to go back to Veridia City."
The Hayes Family issue could be put on hold for now, conveniently allowing her to visit Veridia City.
Just when they could finally be close, they had to part ways.
Alaric Faulkner was contemplating whether to go with her.
Noticing his thoughts, Eleanor promptly interrupted him.
"I’ll be gone for a few days; don’t follow . Take care of Estelle; he’s quite mischievous and needs so looking after."
Alaric could only nod, "Okay."
