Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 118

Ch-117

Eleanor suddenly banged her head to his chest disturbing his sleep. Cedric opened his drowsy eyes at the sudden pain from his chest.

Opening his eyes under the warm sun rays, the first thing that got into his sight was his wife. Her curious big doe eyes were looking at him. It’s as if she did something and is trying to hide from it. Cedric tried to find what she was trying to hide but couldn’t find anything. And her face was extremely red. Did something happen? This was the only question that came into his mind.

Worry filled his face, his beautiful brows formed an M shape.

“What happened? Did you get a fever?” he asked.

Cedric was worried that she was sick. He knew he did it more than many times, how could he be so careless. Dammit!

He knocked his head for being a beast and that too was the worst one.

Maybe he needs to call a doctor. He heard that during the first time, a woman will surely get a fever. And maybe that was the case. Then he needs to call a doctor and ask him for medicine. And while cleaning the cave, he found a few drops of blood dried on the stone bed, he made her tired. What a stupid man he was.

“I will call the doctor,” he said.

“Cedric, it’s nothing,” she said.

“No… your face is red. I heard women get a fever for the first time. I need to take care of it. What if you suffer more?” he said.

“Cedric… stop. It’s normal,” she said. She wanted to say something but he cut her off.

“What normal? Huh? I will call the doctor. You stay still,” he said. Saying that he tried to reach out to his phone to call his friend.

Eleanor: “…”

“Cedric, stop! Enough!” she yelled. She was at her edge. She wanted to smash his hand with the pillow under her head.

“No, wait!” he said. Eleanor couldn’t take it anymore, she threw the pillow on him. He didn’t expect the sudden hit and threw the phone on the floor.

“Why? What?” he asked her in a dazed expression.

“Due to the chilly breeze, my face turned red. Not because of that. And I got no fever yesterday, Why would I get it now? Idiot! Use your brain! At Least check the temperature!” she yelled at him.

“Baby, I was just too concerned,” he said.

“This is not a concern, this is an exaggeration!” she yelled at him.

“Baby, I just love you too much,” he said with the wrong expression.

Eleanor couldn’t bear it anymore and threw him out of the room. Goldie, who was listening to the fight, perked its ears towards the window. From the looks of it, Goldie realized it’s his lady master who has an upper hand in the fight but not Cedric. When he wanted to listen more to the fight, a loud thud could be heard and carried by another loud thud.

Goldie turned his head with a swoosh. Dammit! This was out of his expectations. His master was weaker than he thought. And his lady boss was stronger than he had expected. As time passed he realized his decision of jumping ships was his best decision. Shaking his head, he dipped on the couch further acting like he was sleeping.

Cedric, who was kicked out of the room, looked at Goldie as if he was looking at him. Seeing that he was sleeping, he quickly ran upstairs. Poor Cedric doesn’t know that Goldie saw everything. Goldie felt nothing but pity for him. He sighed and slumped on the couch as he felt too lazy to take a step. And this couch felt too comfortable. How he wished he had a personal couch for himself.

Eleanor got up from her bed and freshened up. After walking out, she took out some milk and poured it in a bowl for Goldie to drink. Even though Goldie loathed drinking milk, he drank as he remembered the scene that happened to his ex-master in the morning. He obediently drank the milk. Cedric, who came down, saw Goldie drinking milk. He was shocked to death when he saw the scene. But he realized, if his wife wants, she would even make Goldie do Yoga.

After Goldie finished the milk, Eleanor took away the bowl and placed another plate full of meat. Goldie gobbled up his food as if he was desperate to get rid of the stinky smell of the milk. Eleanor hid her chuckle but said nothing. She put all the meat from the fridge on goldie’s plate. Goldie was more than happy to eat food. He ate like he was going to starve for the next few days.

Eleanor squeezed some apple juice for Cedric and herself. After she was done, she poured them in the glasses and gave one to him and the other to herself.

They both sat at the dining table as they drank. Eleanor wore an old formal white dress from Cedric’s grandmother’s closet. It looked simple yet elegant but still one can recognize the old design on it.

As they drank the juice, Eleanor quickly finished the juice and kept her glass aside. She waited till Cedric finished drinking.

“Cedric,” she called out.

“Hmm?” he responded.

“I want to buy Uncle Arnold’s restaurant,” she said, taking him by surprise.

“Also the land around it,” she added after a few seconds of pause.

Cedric was really surprised, Zora groups don’t have any cash flow as they took up many new projects. They mostly took loans from private and government banks.

“What do you want to do?” he asked.

“I want to turn that into a resort. Instead of giving Uncle Arnold money, I will give them a share of ten percent from both the hotel and restaurant. And this is not the Zora groups Project but my project.

“I have my savings and all the money my bro and dad gave me as pocket money, they are crying in my account. Dad didn’t even let me use it during the crisis. It’s just that… They are not in the form of money but in the form of lands.

“I need to convert them into cash. I found this place to be kind of cool. And near the forest. I can provide the customers with the facilities to go do foresting. I can send people for them. And this restaurant can provide food to the customers in the resort.

“Also, they serve food to others who don’t live in the resort. This way I can earn money in both ways. Also, It can look like… I am starting my restaurant.” Eleanor said.

Cedric thought for a while before he looked at her.

“This way… they can even preserve their family cooking style. Also, Layla can pursue her career as a chef. While Daniel can go abroad. They will handle it, I will invest,” Eleanor said.

Even though she got this idea on the spot. She was determined to do it anyway.

“Eleanor… I am not opposed. Even though we are building resorts, what specialties can you make that can make your resort stand out from every other resort?” he asked.

“I will go with the vintage theme. Also…. Everything in the resort was made of wood. I am even thinking of building a few treehouses for people to live in. This way you can have good enjoyment. And as we made our first love in a cave, I want others to enjoy it too. So I plan to build a few artificial caves for them. And provide hot springs, restaurants, swimming pools. They can enjoy this like a tourist spot,” she said.

“It’s good tho,” he said.

“I know it!” she said.

“But the thing is we have to talk with aunt and uncle. I am sure that they would agree but we don’t know if Uncle was ready to accept this life or not,” Cedric said.

“Cedric, We are offering them a good life. His children don’t need to search for jobs after they graduate. They can just work in the resort. They get the share along with their salary. Don’t you think this is good!” Eleanor said.

“Babe… not everything is decided with just luxury and money. Uncle turned sentimental because he was sad about his mother’s death. Even though he seemed fine, he can’t continue this restaurant because he is still not over it again. Every inch of that restaurant has the memories of his mother,” Cedric said.

Eleanor nodded her head to him.

“Thank you,” she said.

“For?” he asked.

“If I persuade him successfully for this thing. What will I get?” she asked.

“I will send a designer for your restaurant?” he said.

“Nope,” she said.

“Then what do you need?” he asked.

“After finishing the restaurant, you have to live with me there for a week in the resort,” she said.
