Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 206

CH-205

Cedric never thought about anything from Eleanor’s point of view. He thought that everything would be fine as long as she was safe. And he was doing everything in his hands to keep her safe. Why does she feels that it was his negligence and broken trust?  Cedric couldn’t understand her for some reason.

How could she think like this? He was doing this for them and for their family. And even he was suffering. Why can’t she understand? Was there a man who knew the pregnancy of their fiance through investigation? Did he complain? No, right?

He didn’t complain. But why was she being chatty with the things that weren’t worth mentioning. Feeling angry, Cedric left the breakfast house and climbed his car. He directly drove to the mansion.

Even without changing his clothes he started drinking in the mini bar.

Stephen came out when he heard the car honk. By the time he came he saw that Cedric striding inside the bar angrily. He shook his head wondering what happened. Stephen followed him and saw that he was drinking like a fish even without caring that it was morning instead of having breakfast he started drinking.

“Young Master,” Stephen called out.

“Leave me alone!” he roared.

If it was some one else they would have ran away hearing his voice. But it was Stephen, if flinched for this voice only then he would have resigned a long ago.

“Young Master, Shall I serve your breakfast?” Stephen said stubbornly.

“Leave!” he said again.

“What would you like to prefer?” Stephen continued.

Cedric threw the alcohol bottle on to the ground in his anger making Stephen take few steps back.

“I know what you need,” Stephen said. With that he left and picked his phone and made a call to Regan.

Regan just entered the conference meeting to have a meeting with his staff but just then his phone rang.

“Hello, stephen,” he responded.

“Master, Young Master returned and he is drinking like a fish. He is so angry to the point he lost his rationality. Can you come and take a look, Master?” Stephen said.

“If he can’t even handle his emotions, he is not worthy being my son,” Regan said expressionlessly.

“Master, what if he inflicts self harm?” Stephen said worriedly.

“Then that gives me more of a reason to call him useless,” Regan said.

“Master, Young Master got a call from his bodygaurds in the morning about Young Madame. Maybe Young Madame is in trouble that he couldn’t pacify. And he is too prideful to ask your help. Once check on him for the sake of our Future Young Madame,” Stephen said.

“You are giving all sorts of reasons for me to come. Fine, I will come,” Regan said as he took a deep breathe.

“Okay, Master,” Stephen said.

With the that he hung the call.

“Meeting is cancelled,” Regan said as he rubbed the space between his brows. Saying this he strode out hurriedly.

Regan left the company and reached Emerson’s mansion. Walking inside he saw Cedric was drinking like a madman.

Walking towards him, he sat beside him with a glass as if saying that even he wanted to join for the drink along with him.

“Won’t you pour for me?” Regan asked as he removed his watch and motioned Stephen to come and take it. For which Stephen obliged and took the watch from Regan. Stephen went to Regan’s wardrobe and placed his watch where it should be.

“Dad, what do you want?” Cedric asked feeling annoyed.

“Obviously, Drink,” he replied.

“Dad…” Cedric dragged.

“Pour me a large,” he said.

Cedric shook his head and poured alcohol in his glass. Taking a sip, Regan let out a heavy breath.

“So what’s with Eleanor again?” Regan asked after few minutes of silence.

Cedric didn’t reply but it didn’t annoy Regan after all he was used to all kinds of tantrums from Cedric.

“Even if you don’t know, I have my ways to know it,” Regan said.

“Nathaira and Oliver met Eleanor and had a long discussion with her,” Cedric said as he took a big gulp from his drink.

Stephen who was listening to his words was shocked for minutes. Even Regan stilled in his position. He stared blankly at Cedric with his wide eyes before recovering his posture.

“What happened then? Did they do something to Eleanor? Did they hurt her? Is she fine? How is my grandchild?” Regan asked as he showered him with questions about Eleanor and the child’s safety.

“Nathaira and Oliver are leaving to ArrowGlen. Nathaira no longer wants me. So, she tried to be the cupid since she broke me and Eleanor. She revealed the past about us to Eleanor without adding any lies.

“In the end… she asked Eleanor whether does she loves me or not. She said yes. Nathaira laughed at it and asked her to get back with me. Eleanor refused because she said there is love between us but…” Cedric stopped as he felt he couldn’t find any words to say the words she said to them.

For some reason, even his heart was accepting her words. But he doesn’t want to accept them. It’s as if there was already a question bank filled with answers in front of him but he chose to pick the classical way of picking and reading the answers from the text books. Again, he couldn’t help but ask between two people other than Love what else they need? Wasn’t Love enough? He felt frustrated as he remembered her words from earlier.

“But?” Regan asked pulling him from his thoughts.

“She said there is love. But Love isn’t enough to stay with a person! Why Love isn’t enough dad? Huh? She is saying that there is no trust, confidence, respect or belief in our relationship. She says that I am not truthful enough. Indeed, I agree I hid few facts but for what? I did for her and for us.

“I accept I acted like a jerk earlier. I insulted her, I made her feel like shit. I am not the first person to know her pregnancy but when I knew I tried to protect her. I know I made mistakes. Why can’t she forgive me?” Cedric asked as he yelled.
