Love Comes To Me

During the afternoon, Eloise received a phone call.

"Miss Eloise, hello, I'm Reeva's father. I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to put in a meeting with me?"

In fact, without having to meet, Eloise could guess that he had approached her about Reeva.

"Sorry, I may not be available."

Eloise didn't even think about it and simply refused.

"I apologise for what Reeva has done and hope you will meet me for the sake of being a father."

"Sorry, I ..."

"Miss Eloise, will you please be understanding of my father's pains and meet with me?" Reeva's father spoke almost pleadingly.

Eloise couldn't help but be soft-hearted and agreed to meet.

After hanging up the phone, she told Hector about it.

"You don't have to go, I'll just talk to him." Hector didn't want her to get involved with the Lawson family again and wanted this Reeva thing to just go away. "Since I promised, how can I not go? Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Eloise doesn't want to be a man who doesn't keep his word.

Besides, Reeva's father wouldn't dare do anything to her.

Hector was silent for a long time before explaining uneasily, "Call me if anything happens."

"I know."

...

Eloise arrives at the coffee shop where she has an appointment with Reeva's father and as soon as she walks in, she can see Reeva's father sitting in the corner.

The other man saw her too and stood up, watching her walk past without a second glance.

Eloise walked up to him and nodded gently, "Hello."

"Please sit." Reevaâ€TMs father reached out and gestured for her to sit down.

Eloise sat down and opened the door to ask, "Uncle, what did you want to see me about?"

Instead of answering, Reeva's father asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Eloise frowned slightly, but returned, "Water will do."

Reeva's father beckoned the waiter over and poured her a glass of water.

Only afterwards did he speak formally, "Miss Eloise, thank you for your willingness to meet with me."

"Uncle, there is no need for polite words, just say what you have to say."

Perhaps shocked by Eloise's indifference, Reeva's father fell silent for a long time before speaking again, "Miss Eloise, can you ask Hector to leave Reeva alone and the Lawson family alone?" When she agreed to meet this face, Eloise was prepared that he had found himself for Reeva's sake.

I just didn't expect him to be so direct.

Eloise laughed, a little sarcastically, "Uncle, Miss Reeva, she didn't simply do something wrong, she committed a crime. How can you just say you'll let it go?"

"I know Reeva is so wrong that even a few years in prison is what she deserves, but..."

Reeva's father turned the tables and said, "She's not a bad person, she just got confused and did the wrong thing. I hope Miss Eloise will give her a chance to change her ways."

"She caused me to lose a child and Rupert is still in hospital, do you want to erase the wrongs she has done with the four words of a moment of confusion?"

Eloise sulked and glared coldly at Reeva's father.

She could understand Reeva's father's feelings, but there was no way to accept his excusing Reeva's words.

"I'm sorry." Reeva's father apologised sincerely, "As Reeva's father, I can be quite subjective in my words, and I ask for your forgiveness Miss Eloise."

Eloise sneered, "Very subjective indeed. You are Miss Reeva's father and there is no denying that, but have you ever considered that you are doing me, the victim, another disservice by saying such things."

At that, she pursed her lips and stood up, "It seems that there is nothing more to be said."

With those words, she didn't wait for Reeva's father to react and left straight away.

Seeing this, Reeva's father hurried after her, "Miss Eloise, I know I'm being pushy, but can you leave Reeva alone for my sake and Reeva's and her mother's?"

Is he trying to play the emotion card?

Eloise stopped and turned her head, her warm gaze directed at him, the corners of her mouth curled in a cold smile, "Uncle, to put it bluntly, your daughter did what she did because you failed as parents, so how do you have the face to ask me to let her go?"

Reeva's father had never been spoken to like that before and his face turned red, but for the sake of his daughter he begged brazenly, "Miss Eloise, it's my fault, if you really want to arrest me, arrest me and let Reeva go." Is he telling a joke?

Does this sound like the words of a man in his fifties?

Eloise smiled and then said, "Uncle, I still say one thing, it's impossible."

With that, she turned and walked away.

"Miss Eloise, I'm begging you."

Reeva's father shouted, but Eloise was unmoved and walked straight out the door. Suddenly, there was a "thud"!

Eloise blushed instantly and looked back sharply to see Reeva's father on his knees.

All at once, the other customers in the shop looked over and were talking about it.

Eloise was instantly annoyed and could only stride over to her, lowering her voice and questioning, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to force me?"

"Miss Eloise, I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking you to leave Reeva alone."

Uncomfortable with the crowd staring at Eloise, she reached out to help him up, only to have his hand pushed away.

"If Miss Eloise doesn't say yes, I won't get up." Reevaâ€TMs father was unusually stubborn.

Eloise recoiled in anger as she looked at him incredulously, "Uncle, you are an elder, do you want to break my life by kneeling to me like this? Or do you want people to say I'm bullying my elders?" Reeva's father did not make a sound.

Eloise took a deep breath, "Fine, you can kneel if you want to."

She gave him a cold glance before turning and striding away.

I thought Reeva's father would be a reasonable man, but I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable.

However, she was a little envious of Reeva.

Reeva's father's willingness to kneel down for her shows how much he values and loves his daughter.

Conversely, Josh, does that look like a father?

Eloise reached the door and was about to push it open and walk out when a sudden cry of alarm came from behind her, "Quick! The man has passed out!"

With a shock in her heart, she rushed back to see Reeva's father fall to the ground.

...

Reeva's father was taken to hospital for resuscitation.

Eloise sat outside the resuscitation room, head bowed, hands clasped uneasily together, mumbling, "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay..."

As soon as Hector received the call, he didn't care about the unfinished meeting and drove straight to the hospital, running a red light on the way.

He ran in the direction of the resuscitation room and could see Eloise sitting on a bench from a distance and he couldn't help but pick up his pace. "Eloise."

A familiar voice sounded in her ears and Eloise slowly turned her head as a familiar long figure fell into view.

The tip of her nose couldn't help but tear up, "Hector ..."

Hector took her into his arms and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Eloise buried her face in his arms, all her fears turning into tears at that moment.

When she saw Reeva's father lying motionless on the floor, fear spread from her heart to her limbs and her body went cold.
