Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 196

Ch-195

Valene knew Aiden would be displeased but he said nothing. After all, he was careless to let Eleanor go through a kidnapping. He doesn’t know what to answer to Aiden or Martin. But before answering them… he needs to know where Eleanor was. And have to get her here.

He called Regan and bugged him about Eleanor’s location. If it was someone else or a normal situation Regan would have lashed that person but now he didn’t and couldn’t because his son was at fault. How could he blame others when he didn’t raise his son well?

Look at Valene, he was related to Eleanor or Zora’s family in any way but treats her like his own sister. While… Cedric doesn’t even respect the woman he loved. He held his head in pain. Taking his phone out he called his assistant again.

“Did you find anything?” he asked in a frustrated voice.

“Sir, I didn’t get any information yet. But please wait for another five minutes. Our men are trying to find Young Master’s all locations,” His assistant replied.

“I need his and Eleanor’s location in the next ten minutes!” he ordered.

“Yes, sir,” Regan said and cut his call.

Feeling his assistant may not be able to find anything. He called his daughter and asked her to trace Cedric’s and Eleanor’s location.

The next ten minutes, moved like there was no tomorrow. He didn’t get any information either from his assistant or his daughter. Regan was pissed like an angry bull. If Cedric was present, he would have killed him right at that moment.

After another five minutes, his phone rang and it was from Katherine.

“Dad, brother is in the Villa that you bought for him for the wedding. Eleanor’s phone was switched off. So, I couldn’t trace it yet. But I need some time to find it.” Katherine said.

Katherine didn’t expect her brother would stoop this low. She thought that he would change for good someday but he didn’t. Indeed, her brother was a troublemaker.

Regan breathes relief that at least now they knew the location. He went to the Villa with his guards.

In an hour, he reached the villa. Stationing his guards around the villa, he locked the villa. As he took every step ahead, his face and body stiffened with anger. He was so angry that his men didn’t dare to look at him.

Regan just couldn’t decipher what the hell his son was doing. He went inside and sat in the hall. He sent his men and asked them to check every room and asked them to see if there was Eleanor or not. The maids and the servants who worked in the villa didn’t even dare to breathe in front of Regan. He looked like a satan king.

“Sir, Lady Eleanor is sleeping,” a guard said.

“Where is she?” Regan asked.

“First floor, Master bedroom,” the guard informed.

“Okay,” he said and went to the master bedroom.

Cedric felt something was wrong. He got a message from Mrs. Aubrey saying that someone invaded their house. This was wrong. No one would dare to do it unless it was… his father.

Damn!

This would be messed up if his father was here. He shouldn’t let his father go to Eleanor. Before he walked out and see, Regan was already carrying Eleanor out of the room wrapping a bedsheet around her in his arms.

Regan saw Cedric come out and stand in front of the bedroom.

“Why did you kidnap her?” he asked.

“Dad, I want to clear everything with her and get back with her,”  Cedric said.

Regan threw his head back and let out a disappointing sigh. “I will drop her at her house,” Regan said as he took steps ahead.

“Dad, we didn’t sort out yet,” Cedric said as he walked forward and stood infront of Regan.

“That’s none of my business. All I need is to send her home safely!” Regan almost yelled but held it back as he knew Eleanor was sleeping.

“Dad, I am her future husband,” Cedric said.

“You lost that right, son. And think like a brother too. If someone does this to Katherine would you let that man have his way with your sister too?!” Regan was already fuming mad but if not for Eleanor in his hands he would have slapped Cedric hard across his face.

Cedric fell silent at his words. Indeed, if someone does this to Katherine, he would do a massacre and would get her home at any cost.

“Everyone! Leave!” Cedric yelled. In a minute everyone left leaving them alone. Cedric’s yell woke Eleanor. She stirred a bit but went unnoticed by both men. Eleanor felt someone was carrying her. Before she could open her eyes, she heard Cedric’s words.

Regan looked at his son skeptically. Cedric directly stared into Regan’s eyes without any fear.

“Dad, she is pregnant with my child. I want to protect her from Nathaira and her real father,” Cedric said.

“What do you mean?” Regan asked.

“Dad… don’t you think Martin’s accident, Zora’s bankruptcy, and Nathaira’s return are coincidental?” Cedric asked.

“Even an idiot can say it is orchestrated by a single person. How is this related to Aiden?” Regan asked.

“Dad, Uncle Aiden isn’t her father. There was no one with green eyes in their family. And her real father… he was someone else. Now… he was after her for some reason that God knows!” Cedric said.

Regan sighed. Even though he realized why his son did, he couldn’t help but feel pity.

“Son, don’t tell me you said these things to Eleanor too?” Regan asked.

But to his dismay, Cedric nodded his head.

“You are such an idiot. You broke her trust, son. What made you think she would believe you? Back up your words with evidence. But… you are just a disappointment. I will drop her at her home. Stop me, I swear… you will never get to see Eleanor in your life,” he said.

Cedric said nothing and let his father do as he wished. Even after listening to everything, Regan was hell-bent on sending Eleanor to her home. This means… his father has something on his mind.

Regan turned his heels and started walking away. He carried Eleanor to his car.

Eleanor was in shock. She didn’t expect Cedric to know about her pregnancy. How did he know about it? Where did it go wrong? She never said about her pregnancy news to anyone. How did he know?

And she never thought… he would be saying the truth. This was too much for her to take in. Her father wasn’t her father? Then who was her father? Why was he targeting them now? Why does he want to enter their life now?

Many questions were running through her mind. Unknowingly she stirred.

“You are awake?” she heard Regan’s voice. He was adjusting her comforter as he settled her in the car.

Eleanor’s eyes panicked at his question her eyes flew open. She didn’t expect Regan would find it.

But Regan took her expression wrongly. He thought he scared her.

“Don’t worry. I won’t harm you. I am taking you to your home,” he said.

“Don’t be scared,” Regan added.

Eleanor heaved a relief hearing his words. It means he doesn’t know she was awake for a long time. She nodded her head slowly at him.

Regan got into his front seat and started driving. “I will not allow Cedric to come near you from this second. You can go on with your life.” Regan said.

Eleanor nodded.

“You don’t have to be guarded. I won’t let Cedric touch you or your baby. I know a baby needs its mother. I won’t separate you from him. I will arrange things wherever you want to go,” he added.

Eleanor didn’t think Aiden would reveal things this way and would take her side. She felt happy at his thoughtfulness. He wasn’t like typical soap television drama father-in-law.

But again she looked at him with skeptical eyes. She wondered if he was saying the truth.

“Don’t tell this to anyone,” she said.

Regan nodded.

“Aren’t you curious how I know this?” Regan asked.

“Nope. If you can know where I am and rescue me, I don’t need to think or be curious about how you got to know this,” she said evading his question smartly. She didn’t say the truth or a lie. She just hid a few things.

“Did you tell this to Cedric?” he asked.

“Nope, I don’t trust him,” Eleanor said.

Even though what Cedric said might be the truth. It doesn’t mean… she trusts him. And indeed she never said this pregnancy news to him. He got to know about it on his own. So, she wasn’t lying here.

Regan said nothing. Indeed, he has to agree that his son was being a dick here. The drive was silent all the way. When they were halfway through the journey Eleanor spoke up.

“Uncle,” she called out.

“Yes?” he replied.

“I am hungry,” she said.

Regan just smiled at her.

“I will get something. Sit here,” he said.

Eleanor nodded. She can’t go inside a restaurant in her nightclothes.

“What do you want?” he asked.

“Something sour and spicy,” she said. Regan nodded and went to get food for her.

Regan went to the nearest restaurant and brought her some pickled vegetables, rice, and sour and spicy chicken along with a carrot and pumpkin soup. Eleanor ate the food and filled her tummy.. At a certain point, she was worried that she might gain weight but again at the sight of food she compromised and had her fill.
