Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 215

Ch-215

Returning home, Eleanor decided to pack her things. But before that, she needed to talk with her father. She didn’t meet him after he returned.

Knocking on his door, she asked his permission to enter. “Come in.” she heard Aiden’s voice from inside.

“Daddy, how are you?” she asked, walking in and settling beside him on his bed.

“I am good, dear. How are you? How is my grandchild?” He asked as he patted her stomach with a smile.

“He is fine. But being hungry at odd times,” she said with a pout.

“Then I am relieved,” he said.

“Why?” she asked feeling confused.

“Because he is being healthy,” he said.

“Dad, I have something to say,” she started.

“Say it, baby,” he asked as he stroked her hair.

“Many things happened in a short time. I don’t have time to react to many things too. I am cheated, asked forgiveness, got pregnant, and company matters. Foes turned into enemies, dear ones turned into foes, strangers became brothers and sisters.

“I want a break, dad. From everything for a few days. For the sake of myself and your grandchild. Me, Nathaira, Tiffany, and Myna planned a trip. We will roam around without any disturbances till the new year. Brother Valene, Tiffany’s boyfriend, Nathaira’s boyfriend Oliver would come with us.

“I know I am leaving you alone on Christmas and New Year. But I am afraid, If I stay here Cedric would come to me and ask me for forgiveness. I will forgive him if I see some change in him and if he is truly regretful but I need time and me-time. In our relationship, whenever I needed some alone time or me-time, Cedric never gave that to me. I have given that to me, When Nathaira came into our lives with the destruction many things wouldn’t have come this far. But his insecurities didn’t let him give me time. And now… he will be here. Before he does that, I want to take a break from everything.

“And since it’s new year and Christmas time, the work would be less. I hope you can manage this till I return,” she said calmly. She made her point that she wouldn’t be taking no as an answer. Aiden could understand that. He smiled at her gently.

First, she said she would go.

Second, she told her feelings to him and what bothered him.

Third, she cleared his doubt about her forgiving Cedric or not.

Fourth, she said she wants some alone time from everything.

Fifth, She assured him not to worry about her as Valene was also going with her.

Sixth, she said she won’t take no as an answer.

Seventh, she again assured him that there was nothing for him to be worried about her.

She grew up well in a short time. His heart twisted in pain at the things she went through. If he was capable, she would have been carefree and enjoying the innocence of the world. But she has to face the cruelty. In one year, she changed a lot.

A year ago, she was meek, shy, gullible, and innocent. Now, she is confident, foresighted, strong, and the kind of person who would make others realize they are wrong. And no matter how they were to her, she made her point clear now. Before she used to be shy and less talkative. It doesn’t mean she was talkative now, but she’s talkative enough to make her point clear.

“You are grown up now. If it’s what you want, go ahead and enjoy. Take your time. But remember to eat and rest on time. You are not alone now. There is a little bunny in your stomach,” he said as he pointed to her stomach. She nodded as she smiled at him. Eleanor was too happy that she hugged him tightly, making his smile wider.

“When are you leaving?” he asked still hugging his daughter.

“Tomorrow afternoon,” she said.

“Then do you need help in packing? I will send a maid. Say here what you need, she will pack. I will go to the kitchen and ask aunt Jenna to cook something for you. Oh, wait, this is cold season, I will let Eric prepare warm clothes for you. Hmm… yeah!? The journey could strain you, a hot bag should be prepared for you. And some soothing oils should be taken along with you so that you can add to your bathing, they will help you relax.

“Your diet, Myna should remember about it. And Valene, that brat, he should take care of you. You can’t carry the stuff to the airport by yourself. I will send you off. Okay? Ayyo, there is so much to do. I will start preparing stuff from now only. You don’t pack the bags, I will send a maid. You have to rest.

“Wait, you have to take care of my grandchild too. I will tell a few more pointers to Valene’s list. Aish, I shall talk to Mason and Oliver too. They at least have to treat you better for what his friend and their partner did for you,” he said as he humphed.

All this time, Eleanor just listened to his nagging as he said. Eleanor felt tears in her eyes. Maybe if she has a mother she would be nagging her like this. Because of Aiden’s treatment, she never felt the void of not having a mother.

“Dad,” she called out in her stuffy voice.

Aiden felt worried when he heard her sniffing. Why was she crying? Did she remember that irresponsible brat’s actions? He deserves a beating. Maybe he should start the car and go to his mansion to beat him. That’s the best plan.

“Dad, why are behaving like Aunt Aria? You know what…. If my mother is with us, I am sure she wouldn’t be as good as you. You spoil me too much,” Eleanor said as she buried her face in his neck.

Aiden felt his heart swell in happiness at her words.
