Chapter 196: You Clearly Like Me
"Eloise Thompson, you're deliberately trying to piss me off aren't you?" Hector Rogers spoke up.
"No, just being honest, after all Miss Reeva is your fiancée isn't she?"
"What fiancée, when did I ever admit that?"
"No? If not, why would you accompany Miss Reeva to the hospital for a pregnancy test ..."
Eloise Thompson didn't know what was going on with her at this point, Hector Rogers was upset, but her heart was just as hard as well and she said whatever came to mind in the heat of the moment. Hearing that, Hector Rogers vaguely thought of something, was Eloise Thompson at the hospital that day too... No wonder! Her attitude towards herself had changed since that day.
She thought she was going to have a baby with another woman? Is he not trusting himself at all, avoiding himself on purpose because of this matter?
"Eloise Thompson, do you really not know what I have in mind for you?"
"Sorry, I don't know, if you just want to play tease, go find someone else, I'm really not interested."
Eloise Thompson's tone was light, but only she knew that she was in a panic, how could she not know what Hector Rogers had in mind for her, but now she just wanted to push him far away.
Hector Rogers' face changed as he heard this, a mocking smile curled his lips, when had he ever done that to a woman, but now Eloise Thompson was telling herself he was playing for laughs, was she playing dumb or did she really not understand her feelings?
The atmosphere became strange for a moment and Solomon, somewhat unsure, spoke up in a whisper, "Daddy, are you and Auntie Eloise arguing? What's wrong with you guys?"
Solomon blinked and took Eloise Thompson's hand and continued to speak, "Auntie Eloise, don't be upset, is daddy bullying you?"
Eloise Thompson then realised that she was so excited that she hadn't even noticed that Solomon was still on the sidelines.
She calmed down a little and looked at Solomon and spoke, "No, it was Auntie Eloise who got excited earlier, sorry about that!"
Having said that, Eloise Thompson wasn't going to tangle with Hector Rogers any further and took Solomon by the hand and tried to leave with the food.
But how could Hector Rogers let Eloise Thompson go at this moment, he took the lead and said to Solomon, "Solomon, my aunt and I still have something to talk about, will you go to your grandparents first?"
Solomon looked at the two men with a slightly hesitant face, but finally walked away meekly.
"I have nothing to say to you, so you might as well get on with the customers!" Eloise Thompson spoke, turned around and tried to leave.
Seeing this, Hector Rogers yanked Eloise Thompson's wrist straight away and pulled her towards the outside.
Reeva Lawson was dancing with Rupert Rogers in the distance, and although she was dancing, her eyes were watching Hector Rogers and Eloise Thompson not far away, and after seeing the sight of Hector Rogers dragging Eloise Thompson out, Reeva Lawson was simply anxious, how could she just watch these two go out like that.
"Sorry Mr Rupert, I'm a bit tired, I don't want to dance anymore, you find someone else!" Reeva Lawson spoke, and after saying that, tried to let go of Rupert Rogers.
"Don't, Reeva, it's only been a while since we danced, why are you tired!" Rupert Rogers spoke up.
"Told you I didn't want to dance." Reeva Lawson was a little annoyed that Rupert Rogers was so unrelenting, and her tone carried a hint of displeasure.
After saying this, he broke away from Rupert Rogers' hand and left the ballroom.
Rupert Rogers didn't pursue him any further, but sighed, "Hey, this woman is really something, there are plenty of good people here, but she keeps staring at his brother.
...
Once outside, Eloise Thompson wrenched herself from Hector Rogers' grasp before opening her mouth to inquire, "What are you going to say?"
Hector Rogers stared at Eloise Thompson and spoke directly, "Eloise Thompson, you obviously have feelings for me, and it's not like you don't know in your heart how I feel about you, so why are you running away?"
"I didn't." Eloise Thompson opened her mouth to deny it.
"Eloise Thompson, you can fool others, but not me."
How can Hector Rogers not see that Eloise Thompson likes him too, but what is the reason he keeps avoiding him? Is it really just because of Reeva Lawson?
At that, Eloise Thompson continued to deny it: "Hector Rogers, you're the youngest of the Rogers family, you're powerful, who doesn't like you! Yes, I like you, but only for your money, but now I'm tired and I don't want to get involved in the strife between your gentry, so please leave me alone!"
Eloise Thompson looked straight at Hector Rogers and spelled this out without straining.
Even though it's clear she's telling lies, watch Eloise Thompson keep denying not liking herself and saying things like this...
In a fit of annoyance, Hector Rogers cupped her jaw and leaned in to kiss Eloise Thompson directly on the lips.
"Well ..."
Caught off guard, Eloise Thompson was dazed and struggled, but Hector Rogers tightened his grip around her waist and held her in a death grip.
The kiss was very rough, with a strong punitive edge, and I don't know how long it took before the man in front of me slowly released her from it. "You really don't like it?"
Eloise Thompson doesn't want to admit that she likes him, after all, what's the point of admitting it, they can't be together and will become even more entangled. When Hector Rogers did this to himself, Eloise Thompson just felt very aggrieved inside and was stubborn enough not to say anything.
Seeing her denial, Hector Rogers kissed her once more, kissing her more deeply, his hands even getting loose on Eloise Thompson's body.
For a moment, Eloise Thompson was shaking all over and tears were left in her eyes.
Seeming to feel the tears on her face, Hector Rogers shuddered and finally stopped.
He then realised he was out of control. Looking at Eloise Thompson's face, Hector Rogers wanted to apologise and wipe her tears, but was too afraid to touch them. Hector Rogers' eyes lowered and his dark voice spoke, "I'm sorry."
Eloise Thompson didn't say anything, only that the tears in her eyes grew more fierce.
Why? Why do I run into these people even when I come to a party? Why won't Hector Rogers leave me alone... Eloise Thompson just feels so tired inside, and multiple things are weighing her down.
Hector Rogers was momentarily at a loss for words as he scooped Eloise Thompson into his arms.
O her girl... why she wouldn't tell herself anything and let them face their problems together, angry, Hector Rogers was more than heartbroken.
Eloise Thompson struggled to push him away, but it was no use.
...
In the dark, Reeva Lawson emerged from Rupert Rogers a few minutes ago, shivering, remembering the scene she had just entwined in, like a knife in her mind that she couldn't erase. Reeva Lawson clenched her fingers tightly, in that case, don't blame her for not being polite.
Looking once again at the two figures, Reeva Lawson had a fierce look in her eyes.
