Lovely Baby Came to Me

Hearing her words, Hector was caught off guard for a moment. He gave her a glance as if he was hesitating, but then he quickly nodded.

Eloise took two steps forward, knocked on the door, and said to Solomon, who had locked himself in the room, "Honey, the food is ready, and it'll get cold if you don't eat it now. Will you come out?" A rustling sound came from the room, but the door remained closed.

Eloise continued, "Look, I've worked hard all day and now I'm hungry, come out and eat with me, okay? Otherwise, I'll get a stomach ache later, and then I might have to take medicine and see a doctor. Don't you think I'm pitiful?"

The room became silent again, but after a while, the door opened, revealing a small head.

Hector was a little surprised.

In the past, whenever Solomon and he had a falling out, it basically took Solomon a week or so to get over it.

The whole family coaxed him, but all to no avail.

He never expected that this woman named Eloise could make him compromise in just a few words.

Hector couldn't help but glance at Eloise.

Eloise didn't notice his gaze, but happily carried Solomon out of the room and said, "Solomon's really a good boy, let's go eat."

Solomon nodded, didn't even look at his dad, sat back in the chair and ready to eat.

Seeing that Hector was standing still and didn't seem to have any objections, Eloise asked in passing, "Mr. Rogers, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to eat with us?"

She just asked out of courtesy, but she didn't expect that Hector would actually say, "Yes, please."

Eloise froze and thought, "You're really blunt."

Fortunately, she had cooked more today, so Eloise immediately went to add a set of cutlery and said, "If you're not used to eating, then you can eat at the restaurant outside later." Hector coolly picked up a piece of rib, took a bite and said, "It tastes good."

Eloise breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following time, Eloise felt that the atmosphere of their meal became a bit awkward.

Especially since there was a well-built man sitting across from her.

This was only the first time they had met, and this situation was just too weird.

Fortunately, Solomon was sitting next to Eloise. Her attention was immediately diverted as she peeled the shrimps for him from time to time, or fed him a mouthful of rice, or wiped his mouth after feeding. After the meal, Eloise cleared the table and prepared tea for Hector and Solomon to aid digestion.

After they finished their tea, she thought, "They should be ready to leave, right?"

Hector seemed to be able to read her thoughts and said, "Miss Thompson, thank you for dinner tonight. It's getting late. I'll take Solomon home first."

Eloise secretly sighed in relief.

She thought he was planning to stay the night here!

Then she immediately replied, "You're welcome, it's just a meal."

Hearing this, Solomon, however, got anxious and wrapped his arms around Eloise's legs on the spot. He looked at his dad with a wary expression, "I don't want to go home, I want to stay with Miss Eloise." Hector frowned, "Don't be ridiculous, you've been bothering Miss Eloise all day."

"...I like Miss Eloise. I want to sleep with her."

Solomon said stubbornly, holding Eloise even tighter.

Eloise was also stunned.

During the day, she could feel that Solomon was fond of her, but she didn't think he was actually planning to stay and sleep with her.

Seeing Hector's gloomy expression, Eloise hurriedly persuaded Solomon, "Solomon, you should go home, or your grandparents will worry about you."

"No, I want to sleep with you."

Solomon tilted his head, his eyes red like a rabbit's, with tears glistening inside.

Eloise's heart was breaking at the sight of his expression.

His expression was so pitiful that she simply couldn't bear to drive him away.

All the persuasion suddenly lumped in her throat, and she looked towards Hector subconsciously.

She wasn't sure if Hector would misunderstand her taking in Solomon as an attempt to climb the social ladder.

Hector also didn't expect that Solomon would be so dependent on a woman he had just met.

But he insisted, "Go back with me!"

He wouldn't leave Solomon alone with a woman he had just met for less than a day.

Eloise could roughly see what Hector had in mind, so she had no choice but to say ruthlessly, "Solomon, you can always come to me whenever you want later, but right now I really have no place for you to sleep. You go back with your father first today, okay?"

Solomon shook his head vigorously.

Hector's patience had been all but exhausted as he stepped forward and picked Solomon up bodily. "There must be a limit when you vent your spleen. Don't think that just because I spoil you, you can just do whatever you want."

Solomon choked at the reprimand and glared stubbornly at his dad, not wanting to compromise.

Hector didn't want to spoil him, turning his head to Eloise and said, "Sorry to bother you tonight, Miss Thompson."
