Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 168
Ch-167
“DAD!?”
“BROTHER!?” Eleanor yelled.
Aiden: “…”
Valene: “…”
They both shared a look as if they were asking each other what wrong did they do to her again.
“Give me some idea!” she asked or more as she demanded.
“…” Aiden and Valene.
“ELEANOR!” an earth-shattering scream heard from the entrance of the hall.
“Dad, she is here. Tell her I found my reason for my life and dispersed from this mortal world turning into an immortal,” she said as she tried to run but forget that she can only go out from her bedroom entrance to which Myna already made her way towards it.
“Hi, Eleanor,” a voice resounded from the entrance of her bedroom this time. Eleanor whipped her head to the side and saw Myna standing there like a female version of Yama King. Sweat dripped from her forehead as she saw her friend standing near the door. Her voice felt like a death song to her ears.
“Are you finding places to hide?” Myna asked feeling the itch to beat someone to death.
“No-nope. I am finding something,” Eleanor said as she stuttered.
God! Why the hell her friend looks like a demon to her right now?
[Because… you said what happened to you to Valene, who became close to you a week ago but you don’t have time to tell your best friend?] her brain mocked her.
[This isn’t the time to poke her wounds.] Eleanor chided her brain and kicked it with her leg.
“What are you finding?” Myna asked raising her brows.
Aiden: “…”
[Remember I am still present!] he yelled in his mind.
Valene: “…”
[Awww…. My babe is too cute.] he thought and he continued to stare at them.
Myna put her purse on the table and walked towards the couch. She picked a cushion from there and walked towards Eleanor at a deathly slow pace.
“Eleanor babe, I just want to choke you to death for hiding so many things from me,” Myna said with a deep smile.
Eleanor knew she couldn’t avoid the devil anymore. So, even she picked a pillow and put it to her defense. Before Eleanor could make a strike Myna jumped making Eleanor fall on the bed. Myna hovered over Eleanor and started to pull her hair and beat her with the cushion. Eleanor rolled over her and she struck her with her almighty pillow.
Even though… Aiden felt it was silly, he felt like he was watching two kindergarten kids fighting. He wanted to laugh at them but he held it back.
They both continued to fight like a cat and mouse. In the end, the pillows were torn and the feathers in them started flying around the air. But Eleanor and Myna didn’t give up they picked another pillow and started striking each other. When they ran out of energy they fell on the bed on their stomachs as they huffed and puffed for their breathing.
Aiden and Valene already left their room after they started messing with each other.
“Bitch,” Myna cursed her.
“I am sorry. Everything happened one after other,” Eleanor said as she turned to lay on her back.
“It’s fine. I just hope everything goes well,” Myna said as she hugged Eleanor.
“I don’t know… why he is doing this to me. He said he wanted to share his life with me and have kids with me. We did many things together… now I am wondering why he was doing this to me.
“Not only him… even Jacob did this to me. Why does no one want me? Am I this hateful? What sin did I commit to going through this?” Eleanor said as a tear dropped from her eyes.
“Eleanor… let’s get drunk tonight,” Myna said.
Eleanor nodded.
“You deserve better, Eleanor. If I were a man, I would have married you. Cedric doesn’t deserve you, that’s why he left you. You deserve better,” Myna said as she hugged her tightly. Eleanor felt like she found a shoulder to lean on to cry. She started sobbing heavily. Myna consoled her as she sobbed. Eleanor calmed down after some time.
Eleanor was exhausted. She doesn’t want to move an inch but her stomach was grumbling loudly asking her attention. She looked beside to see Myna dipped in deep thoughts.
“What happened?” she asked unconsciously.
“I think… I need to move and treat myself better,” Myna said unconsciously. When she realized what she said, she looked at Eleanor with her widened eyes.
“Indeed… at least you know now. I guess Valene is a better choice than that man Edward or that Charlie,” Eleanor said.
“Hey… how do you know?” Myna asked.
“Do you think I wouldn’t know when three men hovering around you like bees?” Eleanor said.
“But you did nothing?” Myna asked raising her brow.
“That’s because I want to show you that there are other men too in this world apart from my brother,” Eleanor said.
“Right now… I don’t want any relationship with anyone. I just want to be myself,” Myna said.
“Your wish… but I am hungry,” Eleanor said.
“What!?” Myna was shocked that her friend was still thinking about food.
“I am hungry,” Eleanor repeated as she blinked her eyes cutely.
“Sigh… Let’s go down.” Myna said.
On the way down there, Eleanor called a maid to clean up her room.
They both reached the dining hall and settled in their chairs. Seeing Eleanor and Myna coming down, Valene and Aiden followed them and sat on the dining chairs to eat. It’s already afternoon of course they would be hungry.
Eleanor felt something was wrong with the food. She felt like puking for some reason. Honestly, all the dishes were her favorite. There was chicken! Chicken in the sense! A load of chicken! There was a chilly chicken, garlic chicken, and chicken noodles, and there is corn soup, cornflower soup and there is a fruit salad for her for dessert. Normally she would gobble up the food. The meat must be bad or something must be wrong. Why was she so repulsed?
She took a bite of chicken noodles and barely ate something.
“Eleanor… you are not eating anything today. What happened? Try this garlic chicken. Your favorite,” Jenna said as she severed the food.
When Eleanor tried to take a bite she could no longer take it, she ran to the common bathroom on the ground floor and vomited her guts out. When she was done she washed the sink and went out with a pale face.
She sat in her seat and tried to not feel repulsed.
“Are you fine?” Aiden asked worriedly.
“I don’t know. I feel repulsed at the smell of garlic,” Eleanor said with a frown.
Myna has doubts about Eleanor’s vomit. She has a small doubt but she can’t be sure about it.
“Don’t worry, uncle. After she is done eating. I will take her to the hospital and get her checked,” Myna said as she assured her.
“Don’t eat anything. Drink soup,” Jenna said as she poured some soup for her in a bowl.
Eleanor drank some soup. Her facial features bit relaxed and her stomach felt comfortable after drinking it. She finished her soup quickly. Without leaving anything she drank all the corn soup. She wasn’t that much of a fan of cauliflower, so she left it. She had the fruit salad and finished three by fourth of it.
“Ahh… I am still so hungry,” Eleanor said.
Jenna shook her head and went to cook something for her. She made egg rice for her. Eleanor dug into her food like she didn’t have food for days. When she was done she patted her tummy in satisfaction.
Every action of Eleanor made Myna’s doubt increase. She knew this shouldn’t happen but what if that happened?
Her friend’s life would turn miserable than now. She needs to make sure of things before she over think the things. Myna finished her food quickly and collected her purse. Aiden and Valene thought that Eleanor was too hungry. They didn’t think much about it.
Myna dragged Eleanor to the hospital. Eleanor kept saying that she was fine and doesn’t need any tests to do right now or doesn’t want to visit the hospital. But Myna was hell-bent on taking her to the hospital. Eleanor just gave in to her stubborn friend.
Eleanor felt something was off with Myna. She looked tense and abnormal unlike her. She was anxious about something. What might happen to her?
But before she could ask something her thoughts came to halt when they reached the hospital. Lately, she was visiting the hospital frequently. This was the first citizen hospital run by the government of Lucren country. For a split second, she forgot that Myna lost her job.
Stepping out of the car, she looked at Myna whose face looked tenser than earlier.
“Hi!” they heard a distant voice. Eleanor and Myna turned their heads and saw Katherine waving at them. She was in her police uniform which surprised them both.
“Hi,” Eleanor waved at her back.
Katherine walked towards them. But there was the smell of blood on Katherine that hit Eleanor’s nostrils hard making her puke. She turned her head right and puked everything she ate.. Her face turned paler as seconds passed.
