Eleanor Sterling rolled her eyes at him.
Are you crazy? Why cause trouble for no reason? Isn’t today’s drama enough for you?
She was just about to say that they didn’t know who Estelle Sterling’s father was, and Jasper Faulkner couldn’t get involved.
Unexpectedly, Alaric Faulkner was rushing to play dad.
Alaric sighed softly as Eleanor warned him.
He looked at Eleanor with tender eyes and then spoke pitifully, "Grandma, I want to marry Eleanor, but she keeps saying she’s too young to get married. I didn’t expect she would already have a fiancé. No matter what, I will wait for her."
At this mont, Alaric appeared as a deeply devoted man waiting for Eleanor’s nod to agree to the marriage.
It seed like Eleanor was a heartbreaker playing around without responsibility— having kids yet refusing to marry him.
Eleanor, standing next to him and listening, felt like spitting out a mouthful of old blood, her face twitching in frustration.
She glared fiercely at Alaric.
Under the table, she gave him a hard kick as a warning.
What nonsense is he talking? When did she ever say such things!
Alaric noticed Eleanor’s sneaky actions under the table but didn’t stop her from causing a scene.
He looked at Eleanor and said softly, "Eleanor, no matter how long it takes, the child and I will wait for you. As long as you nod, we will get married imdiately."
What a handso and devoted man, willing to wait in silence. How can one not be amazed?
Mrs. Jennings’ earlier worries gradually eased.
As long as Eleanor wasn’t deceived by a man, the other issues weren’t big problems.
Seeing Mrs. Jennings breath a sigh of relief, Eleanor instinctively nodded, making it obvious she believed Alaric’s words.
Internally, Eleanor felt an army of expletives rushing through...
With acting skills like Alaric’s, why doesn’t he just pursue a career in the entertainnt industry instead!
At this mont, Estelle Sterling gave Caleb Faulkner a glance, and both looked pitifully at Eleanor, asking, "Mommy, when will you finally marry Daddy?"
"Yeah, Daddy’s been waiting for you a long ti. Please don’t be with other uncles, okay?"
That way, Eleanor wouldn’t marry anyone else.
A streak of mischief flashed in Estelle’s eyes.
Caleb also nodded in agreent, "Yeah, Mommy, don’t abandon us and Daddy."
Mrs. Jennings looked at Silas Hawthorne with a hint of apology, not expecting Eleanor to be in such a situation, making Silas’ presence a bit awkward.
Eleanor took a deep breath and spoke to Silas, "Mr. Hawthorne, as you can see, I have children, so our engagent is not very suitable. Let’s make things clear today, I apologize."
Upon hearing Eleanor disassociate herself from Silas, Alaric nodded in extre satisfaction.
Silas fell silent, his eyes deep and unreadable, his thoughts a mystery.
To ease the awkwardness, Eleanor called the waiter over to add tableware for the two children.
During the al, the children’s sweet words had Mrs. Jennings laughing heartily.
Ryan Jennings wasn’t married yet, but Mrs. Jennings was experiencing the joy of three generations of descendants with Eleanor.
The earlier shock was quickly soothed by having two great-grandchildren, growing more fond of the two kids the longer she looked.
She exclaid excitedly, "You’re such good kids, Estelle and Caleb! You’re both so handso, look at those eyes... and that nose, just like Eleanor."
Eleanor internally grumbled: How could my sons not resemble ?
She looked intently at Estelle and Caleb, her brows furrowing unconsciously.
Then she sighed inwardly, Estelle was her and Jasper Faulkner’s child, Caleb was Faye Sterling and Alaric Faulkner’s child.
Two kids with different mothers, only their biological father related them by blood, yet they looked so much alike; it was quite the fate.
To those unaware, they might even think these two were fraternal twins who happened to resemble each other.
