Chapter 209: Where did the illegitimate child come from?
After packing up, the Rogers family's driver took the two to the mall, and Solomon, who had never been shopping with Eloise Thompson before, couldn't have been happier. "Auntie Eloise, is there anything there that you would like to buy?"
Eloise Thompson thought about it and it didn't seem to be there.
"What about Solomon? Is there anything you'd like to buy?" Eloise Thompson asked with a smile on her lips.
"Wanted to buy Auntie Eloise lots of food and clothes."
The little one spoke in a serious voice and at that, Eloise Thompson burst into laughter before taking Solomon's hand and walking into the mall.
The two wandered aimlessly, when they saw Solomon's footsteps stop and Eloise Thompson followed his gaze, only to see a parent-child outfit on the counter.
Eloise Thompson's gaze also paused as Solomon took her hand and spoke happily, "Auntie Eloise, why don't we buy a parent-child outfit to wear?"
Eloise Thompson was stunned, but did not refuse, instead she followed Solomon in with some anticipation.
It was a casual style parent-child outfit and after trying it on, she and Solomon were basically the right size. Eloise Thompson knew Hector Rogers' size when the outfit was made to order for a previous Solomon school event, so she bought the outfit straight away.
Solomon couldn't have been happier, "Auntie Eloise, can we all go out together in this outfit one day?"
"Good." Eloise Thompson smiled and said yes in one breath.
As the two continued to shop, Eloise Thompson remembered that Hector Rogers had given her several outfits and brooches before and had looked after her many times in the meantime, but she, it seems, hadn't given Hector Rogers anything yet...
Thinking, Eloise Thompson was planning to buy a gift for Hector Rogers. Solomon was delighted when he said one day that Eloise Thompson was going to buy something for her daddy, and sure enough, Auntie Eloise still had daddy in mind. "Auntie Eloise, what are you going to buy for Daddy?"
"I don't know!"
Eloise Thompson was a bit torn, to give clothes... the clothes in this mall are very expensive, and as far as she knew, Hector Rogers wears clothes that are sent specially tailored, it would be embarrassing to buy it for him to wear it does not fit, so what is the best thing to buy?
At that moment, Solomon said, "Auntie Eloise, how about a tie? Don't they always give the hero a tie in TV shows? Tough on the hero."
"Baby, what kind of TV show are you watching here?" Eloise Thompson burst into tears.
But after thinking about it, it also seemed good to give a tie.
Eloise Thompson was dazzled, not really good at choosing gifts for the opposite sex, as the shop assistant helped her choose.
It was only after some selection that Eloise Thompson spotted a light black one, and just as she was about to pick it up to look at it, a hand snatched it away before she could.
"Shop assistant, help me wrap this tie."
A familiar voice came and Eloise Thompson turned to look and saw an old acquaintance.
It's Catherine Greaves.
She was dressed in a burgundy dress, her face was heavily made up, she was carrying the latest LV bag and her whole look was arrogant.
Eloise Thompson hadn't seen Catherine Greaves since she was fired, and when the tie was deliberately snatched from her, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but frown slightly, as she'd obviously seen it first...
"Yo, Eloise Thompson, it's you! Quite a coincidence." Catherine Greaves spoke with a smile, her tone sounding a little grim.
"Auntie, this tie was obviously the one we had our eye on first?"
Solomon knew that Eloise Thompson liked the tie, so he couldn't help but step up and speak up.
It was only then that Catherine Greaves noticed a small child standing next to Eloise Thompson and she squinted slightly, then burst into laughter.
"Eloise Thompson, I really underestimated you, hooking up with a client and having an illegitimate child? What kind of man's bastard is this?"
Catherine Greaves didn't know that Solomon was the young prince of the Rogers family, and with his resemblance to Eloise Thompson, there was a momentary misunderstanding.
"Catherine Greaves, you don't talk nonsense." Eloise Thompson's gaze went cold.
"Why am I talking nonsense? How does this kid look five years old? Five years ago you seemed to have just graduated, didn't you? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I was right, Eloise Thompson, you're a shameless bitch who sells her body to hook up with clients." Catherine Greaves is upset that it was Eloise Thompson who was fired when it was obvious that she was the one who had problems with her character in the first place.
In front of Solomon, Eloise Thompson was angry but held her tongue. She didn't want to get into a fight and the tie Eloise Thompson wasn't going to take, so she took Solomon and planned to leave, but Catherine Greaves wasn't going to leave Eloise Thompson alone and seemed intent on But Catherine Greaves is not going to let Eloise Thompson off the hook and seems intent on taking out all the anger she has suffered at the office.
She had just turned around when Catherine Greaves yanked Eloise Thompson's wrist.
"What, Eloise Thompson, what's the hurry? Am I making you feel weak?"
Catherine Greaves has always believed that she was fired because Eloise Thompson was behind it, otherwise she would not have been fired for accidentally pushing someone.
At the thought, Catherine Greaves was so angry that she clutched Eloise Thompson's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Bad woman, no bullying my Auntie Eloise!" said Solomon, who rushed forward to defend Eloise Thompson.
"How dare you touch me even if you're a bastard!"
After saying this, Catherine Greaves pushed Solomon away from her, who fell to the ground without standing. "Solomon."
Eloise Thompson's gaze clouded over and she shook off Catherine Greaves' hand before rushing to help Solomon to the floor.
"Is everything okay?"
Solomon shook his head and after looking at Catherine Greaves with a wary expression spoke, "Auntie Eloise, don't worry about it! I'm fine."
Catherine Greaves wrapped her arms around herself, a mocking smile curling the corners of her mouth.
"Eloise Thompson, are you afraid to even let your own son call himself mummy for fear of outsiders knowing? Heh, you're disgusting, and this son of yours, he's uneducated too."
At that, Eloise Thompson exuded a sombre air all over and without saying a word slapped Catherine Greaves right across the face.
"Eloise Thompson, you ..."
Catherine Greaves was expecting Eloise Thompson to get angry and hit her, but at this moment she was so unprepared that she almost exploded in anger and her face became a little grim. "Catherine Greaves, I'm not going to argue with you, you're the one who has to make trouble.
Catherine Greaves, furious, reached out and tried to hit Eloise Thompson, but Eloise Thompson was defensive and tightened her wrist.
"Catherine Greaves, don't blame me if you try to make a move." Having said that, Eloise Thompson waved her hand away.
Catherine Greaves was wearing high heels and almost fell over.
