Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 142

Ch-141

“Take her with you after you marry her,” Valene said.

“You! But still, she is my girlfriend,” Cedric fumed.

Mason watched the drama as he ate his non-existent popcorn. He felt like two kids fighting over candy. Feeling the thrill flowing through his veins, he called the waiter and gave his orders which went unnoticed by others.

“It doesn’t matter to me,” Valene said as he perked his lips at him.

“It matters,” Cedric said, almost breaking the table.

“It doesn’t,” Valene said, feeling the urge to whistle at the particular moment.

“Sorry, I am late,” a voice sounded from the door.

“Babe!!” Eleanor shouted and ran towards the door and hugged the person who just entered.

“I missed you,” she said.

“You saw me this morning, dropped me in my house, and gave me a goodbye kiss on the cheek. Don’t tell me you missed me in just ten hours,” the snickered.

Cedric couldn’t take it anymore! She never dropped him home. She never saw him in the morning as the first person. Also, she never gave him a goodbye kiss. And even now, she didn’t hug him for missing him. And still… She was hugging her! He should stop them. Dark gloomy clouds intensified over his head.

He went there and pulled each other. “You are not allowed to hug anyone,” he said.

“Come on Cedric, I am a female. Your jealousy should have limits,” Myna said as she stared at him.

“But still I don’t allow it,” he said stubbornly.

“Sigh… babe, come sit with me,” Myna said as she pulled Eleanor with her.

“No! Way! She is sitting with me!” Cedric said as he pulled her left hand.

“She will be sitting with me,” Myna said as she pulled Eleanor’s right hand. When Myna pulled her, she crashed into her embrace as she was already leaning onto her from the previous embrace.

Seeing this Cedric pulled her hard thinking that she would end up in his embrace, but she stabilized herself by placing her hands on his chest.

Cedric: “…”

[Wifey, you supposed to fall in my embrace.] he yelled in his mind.

[so that you could gobble up her?] his brain mocked.

[So, what? She will be our wife soon.] heart supported.

Before they could argue further, Myna pulled Eleanor from his grip and sat beside her leaving no place for Cedric to sit. Now Eleanor was sitting in between Edward and Myna.

Cedric rolled up his sleeves and readily pushed Edward out of his seat and occupied his place.

Edward: “…”

Edward was shocked at his move. He didn’t expect Cedric would push him. Suddenly he felt like he was stabbed in his chest. The pain of betrayal made his heart bleed in agony. With a dark face, he went and sat beside Myna. But before he could take his seat. Myna pulled the seat back, almost making him fall back.

“You shouldn’t sit beside gold diggers like us,” Myna said as she spat out words with venom on his face directly.

“What do you mean by ‘us’?” Cedric asked.

“Your friend feels that I and Eleanor are leeching on you and Emerson’s. We don’t deserve to sit beside someone noble like him,” Myna said.

Edward was too shocked at Myna’s words. He should have expected the woman he offended wouldn’t take it lying down.

Cedric looked at Edward but said nothing.

“Ayyo! My order came!” Mason clapped when he saw the waiter opening the door.

Edward silently sat beside Myna, getting ready to face her wrath. He forgot the betrayal done by Cedric now he was fascinated and felt bad by Myna. Edward failed to notice his attraction towards her as he increased the belief that he hates him.

“Why didn’t you order for everyone?” Raymund asked.

“Because I only wanted something to munch while I watch the drama unfolding in front of my eyes,” Mason said with a shrug.

“Sigh… You are impossible,” Raymund said.

“Let’s order now,” Eleanor said as she waved her hand.

With that everyone started giving their orders.

“As for desserts… I need nothing,” Eleanor said.

“Why, sister-in-law?” Mason asked.

“I don’t fancy sweets,” she said.

“Oh,” Mason responded.

“Order for me too,” Cedric said.

“Woah… brother… you want my sister-in-law to order food for you now? I won’t be surprised if you ask her to feed you,” Mason commented.

“He will ask that too,” Valene said bitterly.

“Why are you being bitter about us?” Cedric could not understand why he was being so bitter about them. Valene was acting like Cedric stole his candy.

“You are taking away my sister. How do you expect me to behave? Offer you a toast?” Valene said as gave an annoyed expression.

“When did you become her brother? Yesterday during the meal time, your mom wants my wife to marry you. Do you think I would take your brother sister relationship?” Cedric argued like a brat.

“My mom said. I didn’t say. If I want her to be my wife…, do you think I would let her sit beside you?” Valene pointed out the obvious facts making Cedric speechless.

“But still… you don’t have the right to be bitter on us,” Cedric said.

“Only I have! After all, Martin isn’t here. I have to take his responsibility.” Valene said as he puffed his chest.

“What do you mean?” Cedric almost yelled.

“Ayo… Nora… you should reconsider your decision on choosing your husband again. See, he even forgot our conversation that we had. You need someone with a great memory. You can still ditch him. I will find a good groom by searching all across the globe. Tell me if you have any choices,” Valene said as he shot Cedric with arrows continuously.

Has no great memory…

Ditch him…

A best one across the globe….

Eleanor’s choices…

These four things struck him hard making it harder for him to breathe. Suddenly Cedric felt suffocating in the room.

“Why the hell does she need some other man when I am here?” Cedric roared.

“See… he is acting like an animal now. I need to make sure that you are safe,” Valene said like a righteous brother.

What the hell!?

Why the hell he was hell-bent on getting her married to some other man?

Was he that horrible?

Will Eleanor hate him?

Cedric drowned in self-doubt. But after a few seconds, he realized that he was being tricked by Valene.

When he realized this fact, he badly wished to rip his head from his body and throw it in a river.

“You are tricking me into your words!” Cedric pointed.

Mason was stuffing his mouth with a mouthful of noodles with a fork. Dammit! This was so interesting! How badly he wished to record this and send it to his friend’s circle. But sadly, he couldn’t do it.

“See, Nora. This man is easy prey. He always falls into the trap of others. And he took that much time to realize it,” Valene said.

Eleanor: “…”

[Brother, suddenly I have an urge to disown you.] Eleanor said in her mind but she knew it was impossible. With a sigh, she turned her head towards Myna and decided to have a chat with her.

“How did everything come to this point from Eleanor ordering my food to her finding a new groom?” Cedric asked feeling frustrated.

The thought of Eleanor leaving him made him heartache. How could he bear her leaving him?

Eleanor, who just turned her head to talk to Myna, heard Cedric’s voice. She understood he was at the limit.

“Valene! From now on you and I are mortal enemies!” He vowed like a mighty warrior. Flames burned around his frame, showing his determination.

“Cedric,” Eleanor called so sweetly, holding his hand. The fire around his body extinguished in a second the moment he heard her voice.

“Sit down. Don’t take his words to heart. Remember, I love you,” she said with a smile.

Cedric sat down in his seat like a diffused bomb. Eleanor leaned forward and pecked his lips slightly.

“Calm down. Okay? I feel sad when two of my close people fight with each other,” Eleanor said with a sad expression.

“I won’t fight with him unless he does,” Cedric said.

“He won’t,” Eleanor said.

“Who said I won’t fight with him?” Valene said as he tried to flip the table.

“I said!” Eleanor said in a base voice.

“Yeah… I won’t. hehehe…” Valene said with an awkward smile.

“Oh, My God!” Mason shrieked.

“What happens to you now?” Raymund asked.

“I never saw these two listening to someone,” Mason said.

“Hmm… we got a tamer,” Edward said.

“Hmm… enough. Let’s order food. I guess everyone is starving,” Eleanor said.

“Yeah…. I am starving,” Mason said.

“What the hell? Aren’t you eating now?” Edward said.

“Oh… I have a great digestive system. Are you jealous of it?” Mason said proudly as he patted his stomach.

“Never,” Edward said.

“Waiter, come here,” Eleanor called.

Eleanor was about to order dishes for him.

“I guess I am not,” a female’s voice could be heard from the door.  Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice. When they saw the person, they were shocked.

Edward and Cedric were shocked more than anyone.
