Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 139

Ch-138

“We are here,” Cedric announced. He parked the car aside. They saw Raymund was already waiting for them.

“He is fast,” Eleanor commented.

“Hmm… well… he is doing a surprise check in the nearest branch which is coincidentally ten minutes away from here. And so… he is fast,” Cedric said.

“Mhh..” Eleanor responded.

“Hi, ray,” Cedric greeted.

“Nora, Raymund Owen,” Cedric introduced him to her.

“Hi, Raymund,” Eleanor greeted.

“Hi, sister-in-law,” he greeted.

“Aww… you are cute,” she said, looking at his two dimples.

“Thank you,” Raymund said as he scratched his neck awkwardly.

“What about me?” The vinegar factory asked.

“You are hot,” Eleanor said. Cedric was satisfied with her answer.

“My babe is the best,” he complimented and bent his head to give her a quick peck on her lips.

“I am still single,” he said.

“Do you want me to find you some girls?” Cedric asked.

“No,” Raymund said with a horrified face.

“Then don’t mention that you are single,” Cedric replied with a scowl on his face which irritated Raymund.

“Let’s go inside,” Eleanor said. The three of them walked inside.

“I thought it’s a villa but turned out to be a mansion,” Eleanor said.

“Yeah… There are only seven mansions here. And this is one of them,” Raymund said.

“Mhhh…mhhh,” Eleanor responded.

“What do you think of the house, Sister-in-law?” Raymund asked.

“It’s white. Completely white…” Eleanor commented the moment she laid her eyes in the big mansion.

“You don’t like it?” he asked.

“Some black or grey or gold finishings. Complete white is blinding me,” Eleanor commented.

“Maybe black would do,” Cedric said.

“Hmm,” Eleanor agreed.

“I will get it done,” Raymund said.

“Let’s go inside. Let’s see what more is there to change,” Raymund said.

They nodded and followed him.

“I guess… it would be better if we have a fountain in the middle and a flower bed around the fountain,” Eleanor said.

“I shall note it down then,” Raymund said, opening his notepad.

“Thank you,” Eleanor thanked.

“The design is simple, elegant, and cool. I like it,” Eleanor said.

“I am getting lots of compliments today,” Raymund said.

“You should get them from me. Only then will they be counted,” the Vinegar factory said with a scowl.

“You mean… my compliments don’t work?” Eleanor said as she walked to his front while crossing her hands against her chest.

“No! I don’t mean that!” Cedric was quick to prove his innocence.

“Then what do you mean just now?” Eleanor asked.

“I am stupid. Forgive me,” Cedric said. He could say she was getting angry. It means he shouldn’t rile her up. After all, as a man, he knew better survival instincts.

“You better know it,” Eleanor said and walked ahead.

“Put some potted plants near the entrance door,” Eleanor said as she walked ahead followed by Raymund and Cedric behind her.

“It’s a biometric lock? Nice,” Eleanor commented.

“It would be great if the floor is carpeted,” Eleanor said the moment she entered the hall.

“Color?” Raymund asked.

“Blue,”

Eleanor stood in the middle of the hall and looked around.

“Cedric,” she called.

“Yeah?”

“What do you think about our picture on that wall? A wall-sized photo,” Eleanor asked.

“That would be great,” he said.

“Let’s have our wedding photo there,” she said.

“I love that,” he said.

“But… a photo everyone has. We need to make it different,” she said.

“How do you want to have it? A painting?” Cedric asked.

“I think it would be unique with seashells? Or white polished stones that are used in aquariums?” she said.

Cedric was shocked at her idea. She is so unique.

“Wow! Sister-in-law! What did you think of it!? You are so awesome!” Raymund couldn’t hide his surprise and his praise for her.

“If you apply this in your future projects then I will chop your hands,” Eleanor threatened.

“I swear I won’t,” Raymund said to her.

“But don’t you think that it’s hard to find a person to make that kind of frame?” Cedric asked.

“If you can’t do that… I have a friend who can do that… but it’s just that I don’t like to associate with him,” Eleanor said.

“Why?” Raymund being Raymund asked.

“He kind-of liked me but I used to reject him. It’s kind of awkward.” Eleanor said.

“I will find someone best who could do it,” The Vinegar factory opened its mouth which released a huge amount of vinegar smell.

“That’s good to hear,” Eleanor said with a smirk on her face.

“And I want the furniture here to be removed and as I want this wall to be completely filled with us,” Eleanor said.

“Shift those cupboards to the steps side. Also fill the walls near the stairs to be suitable to keep frames,” Eleanor said.

“Again, why?” Raymund asked.

“Why means….. I want to fill the beautiful memories of us in the whole house,” she said.

“It will be done,” she said.

“Since… the furniture is black no need to change anything,” she said.

“Okay…” Raymund said.

“Sister-in-law, the kitchen is this way,” he said.

“Well…. My favorite place,” she said.

They walked inside the kitchen. The kitchen has everything it needs to have. Eleanor was more than satisfied.

“Such a pity… I am bad at baking,” Eleanor said with a sigh the moment she reached there.

“I guess we will need a servant,” Eleanor said.

“Yeah, I will get people for it,” Cedric said.

Eleanor smiled at him and gave him a small peck on his lips. Cedric hugged her tight when she pecked him.

“*Cough*” Raymund faked a cough.

“The dining room is this way nearer to the kitchen,” he said.

The dining room was furnished well and looked good but the table can only fit four five people.

“Can you change it to an eight seater table?” Eleanor said.

“Sure, sister-in-law,” he said.

“Don’t put any vases on the dining table,” she said.

After that… They checked other rooms. Eleanor felt good about the house and designs. She added some more changes to the house. They came to the backyard after they were done.

“I will like a swing here. And few lights like they were making a path. It would be better if you can arrange a stone table or something like that. So that we can enjoy evening snacks or our own time under the night sky,” she said.

“Will be done,” Raymund said.

“That’s all,” she said.

“Don’t you want a back garden or something like that?” Cedric asked.

“That is our call to do,” she said, raising her brow.

“In the sense?” he asked.

“Let’s build our own garden,” she said.

“Hmm… is that an invitation for me?” Cedric asked as he turned his flirty mode on.

“Shut up!” she glared at him as she snapped at him.

“I just love you…” he said.

“I know,” she blushed.

Cedric couldn’t take her blushing face, he walked towards her and hugged her as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

“I dressed up to go to the office but it all went to waste,” she pouted.

“You can go tomorrow,” he said before bending his head and catching her lips.

Cedric felt something stirring in his body. When he saw her pouting lips, he wanted to kiss her breathlessly and he did that exactly. He slammed his lips on hers. Eleanor was taken by surprise. She didn’t know what had happened to him. But however she responded to his kiss by travelling her hands into the locks of his silky hair.

Cedric let her go when she was out of breath.

Meanwhile…

Raymund was forced to eat dog food by the couple he came with. Suddenly he felt pity for his pathetic single life. Maybe it’s time for him to settle down and find a girlfriend. He walked away and found a tree. It looked alone, desolate and tall. But it’s a pity it doesn’t have a partner.

“My poor tree, you are the same as me, single and miserable. Sigh…” Raymund tried to talk with it. But the reality was trees couldn’t talk. With a sigh he walked back to his place but they were still kissing. Maybe he needs to go inside the hall.

—–

“We need to go inside,” she said after breaking the kiss.

“I badly want you,” he whispered in his raspy voice.

Eleanor took a few steps back and looked at him in shock. Cedric was surprised at her actions.

“Tonight,” Eleanor said before giving a small peck. Before he could react she ran away. Entering the house, Eleanor patted her racing heart but it wasn’t calming down. Oh, God! Will it burst out? Will she die? No… she needs to drink water. She hurried to the kitchen to drink water but to her bad luck there was no water in the house.

With a sigh she walked to the hall, she saw Raymund already sitting. For some reason he was sighing like an old man continuously.

“What happened?” she asked, sitting beside him.

“Where is brother, Sister-in-law?” he asked with a shocked face. Was it even possible for his brother to leave sister-in-law for a second?
