Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 213

Ch-213

Explanation (2)

“I couldn’t find the person who did this to me. All I know was he left the dark world to take care of his sick wife and handed his chair and power to his brother’s son.

“I was sad, empty and there darkness invading my body. Days later, I realized that path isn’t for me. Even if I avenge, he wouldn’t come back. I started fulfilling his wishes one by one before returning.

“Eleanor, I know I hurt you. That’s because the man who killed me is somehow involved with the cause of your family thing. My world shook. I couldn’t protect him but I wanted to protect you. I tried to get information about the person behind everything. But I reached a dead end. Soon, I found the man who ruined my life is ruining yours.

“But suddenly, he stopped messing with your life. He sent Nathaira to break us. I was desperate to know about him and settle the scores with him for once and all. But… she led me nowhere and in the end, we both drifted away. I am not the first person to know about your pregnancy. I felt so useless at that moment. I broke the trust you kept in me. I decided to clear everything. I took you to my house in an attempt to clear everything but I behaved like a jerk.

“But thankfully Nathaira cleared everything for you. I know it would be hard for you to forgive me. But I will bear everything. Let me go with you on the trip. I will be your servant, slave, and everything. I will clean your room, dishes, clothes, and everything. Just let me be with you,” he begged.

Eleanor doesn’t know what to say or do. She felt like she was being experienced with different kinds of emotional lapses. Her tongue was tied. She needs to process everything. She felt her head turn dizzy. Suddenly, her grounded shook and she lost her balance. Before her body landed on the ground, Cedric caught her. He put her in the back seat of the car. He panicked at her condition. What was wrong with her? Wasn’t she fine till now? She needs to meet the doctor. Where were Myna and Tiffany? Oh! God! He doesn’t have time for them. He needs to get her to the hospital. Climbing the driver’s seat, he realized he doesn’t have keys. He got out and carried Eleanor out of the car. He was about to shift her into his car when a man and woman came in his way stopping his stupid brainless actions.

“Cedric, hold her like that,” Valene said. Meanwhile, Myna opened Eleanor’s car door and took out a bottle. Pouring some water into her hands, she sprinkled them on Eleanor’s face. Eleanor opened her eyes after blinking for few times. She stood straight and went near Valene.

“See, simple. Use this method to wake a person instead of panicking. And she is pregnant falling unconscious from time to time is a common symptom. You don’t need to rush here and there to get her to the hospital,” Valene suggested as he raised his brows, making Cedric scratch the back of his neck.

“Are you fine? Shall we go to the hospital? Do you need to meet a doctor? Is everything fine?” he asked without stopping.

“Cedric, stop! I am fine. I need a bit of rest,” she said.

“What about me?” he asked feeling confused.

“Eleanor, answer him and come back,” Valene said as he climbed the car. Eleanor nodded at him.

“Cedric, I know you did everything for us. But in the word us… there is you and me and soon a child would be there. But have you ever considered my opinion? You haven’t. We could solve this thing in an easier way but you chose either.

“I wonder… do you trust me? Again… I bore all the insults you gave me. Do you respect me? I know your past is something dark, and it’s a hurting thing. You experienced the loss of a person. But you let me feel the loss of a person too, while you are suffering along with me. Have you considered how broken I would be? You didn’t. You thought I would be safe without you. And you did.

“When you give an explanation to these things, I will marry you the very next second,” Eleanor said.

Cedric was silent for a while.

Seeing his silence, Eleanor was about to leave. But was stopped when Cedric held her wrist stopping her.

“Eleanor, I trust you so much. I know if you know this situation, you won’t leave me even for a second. I am afraid if you are with me you would be hurt. And I respect you. You won’t leave me no matter what I do. And you care about self-respect. I have no choice but to disrespect you. I am a jerk. I am sorry,” he said lowering his head.

He was really ashamed to look into his eyes. If not for his desperate situation, he wouldn’t have chosen this path. And there was no way he could make up for it. He would take her reaction as his punishment and redeem himself.

“I need time to think,” she said and turned around to leave.

Cedric looked at her with a shock. She didn’t reject! That was enough for him. He would take care of the rest. A smile formed on his face as he looked at her receding back. She climbed the car before Valene drove away.

[she didn’t say yes, either.] his mini self said.

“No problem. She didn’t reject either. It means she was in between yes and no. I will push her towards yes,’ he said to his mini-self.

[What are we going to do to get our wife and the child back?] his mini-self asked.

‘Before that, I am going to talk with her father.] he said.
