Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 223

Ch-223

“Aren’t you sleepy?” Cedric asked Eleanor who was leaning on him as he sat on the floor.

“Nope,” she said as she stretched her legs.

“What do you want to do now?” he asked.

“Let me be like this for a while,” she said. He nodded. Even though he didn’t get her forgiveness, her company was enough for him to feel at ease. She can hate him, beat him, scold him and do everything to him but he wants her to be with him.

“Good night guys,” said Tiffany before she went inside and yeah followed by Mason.

“I wish they could get together soon,” Eleanor said as she yawned.

“It will take time,” Cedric said.

“Why?” Eleanor asked with furrowed brows.

“Because unlike me, Cedric or Valene, Mason is the kind of person who would rather get hurt than hurt the one he loved. And he fears that he might be rejected if he proposes to her. But once she says yes, he would even go to the sky and will pluck the stars for her. As of now… he was making her get comfortable around him and letting her get used to him.” Oliver said.

“Why does he do that?” Eleanor asked.

“Eleanor, the pregnancy made you dumb!” Nathaira said with a disbelief look.

“Cedric, see she is calling me dumb. I am hurt. I will cry!” Eleanor said and hugged Cedric turning around as she sobbed.

“God! Nathaira! Can you control tongue!?” Cedric snapped at her.

“What the!” Nathaira was speechless.

“Eleanor! Do you think only you got a boyfriend! Even I have one!” Nathaira said and hugged Oliver while settling herself in his lap.

“Baby, see they distributing PDA. Take me inside!” she said with a pout.

Oliver kissed her pout and lifted her in his arms in bridal style.

“Stop,” Nathaira said making Oliver stop in his tracks.

“Eleanor, you know what? There is something that I can do while you can’t. Do you know what it is?” Nathaira asked as she looked at Eleanor. She circled her arms around Oliver.

“I can make love and kiss Oliver whenever i want. While you can’t do the same for Cedric!” she said and asked Oliver to take her away.

“Baby, even we can make love. Let’s go and make some babies,” Valene lifted Myna in his arms and carried her away.

Eleanor pouted at them.

“Don’t worry. They just want to tease you. And as for Mason… you know what… habits are hard to let go. And he was becoming a habit of Tiffany. And Tiffany won’t be able to live without Mason. Even though it’s time taking, it will work,” Cedric said to her.

“And you are my habit,” Eleanor said sitting in his lap while staring into his eyes deeply.

“What?” he asked feeling confused.

“Cedric, even though I was angry, frustrated, down and disappointed. I still can’t imagine how to live without you. I thought I could make do that way but I still can’t. I don’t know what future holds. But starting now… I want to be with you and share the rest of my life with you.

“Let’s fight for our safety together. Let’s share our laughs, sadness, happiness, troubles and everything together. Let’s get back together,” she said looking at him. She wanted to know his reaction, that made her unable to break the eye contact with him. She saw a shot of surprise and a few tears that threatened to fall down from his eyes. She doesn’t know if he was happy or not.

Eleanor felt like a fool. Was he sad to get back with her? She doesn’t know what to do now. Eleanor just wanted to get up and jump into the sea. And she could say that the depth was quite deep. From the time it was new year, they were all sitting on the deck and started talking random things. Even though she felt noisy she felt at ease. The ship stopped long ago after they got to a safe distance. And she knew if they go ahead it would be dangerous. And the depth the ship was at now can’t be ignored.

She regretted for taking things slow. If she said this earlier maybe she shouldn’t have to face this rejection. She felt like she deserved it. If not how could he not say a single thing?

“I know I troubled you. You don’t have to force yourself to be with for the sake of child even if you don’t like me,” Eleanor said.

Cedric was overwhelmed by her confession. His woman was willing to be with him. He has tears of joy in his eyes. For some odd reason, he couldn’t speak. It was like his throat was dry.

When he heard her troubled and misunderstood words. He was shocked at her. He understood that her pregnancy hormones were making her think of the extremes.

“Eleanor, I am just so happy with your confession. I don’t know what to say. All I could say is… even if there was no child between us. I love you. I love you yesterday, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and for the eternity of my life. Don’t overthink,” Cedric.

She looked at him with her watery eyes. “Really?” she asked.

“Yes, As real as the sun rises despite many hurricanes and disasters,” he said as he kissed her plump lips. Their kiss was slow and deep. They shared how much they missed each other. When they broke the kiss, they panted as they rested their foreheads together.

“I missed you,” Cedric said.

“I and baby missed you too,” Eleanor said.

“I will not leave you anymore,” he said.

“If you leave you don’t need to return again,” she said seriously.

“I won’t repeat the mistakes I committed in the past he said,” as he kissed her forehead.

Eleanor nodded and snuggled closer to him. “Idiot, you created all unnecessary drama and lost many precious things,” Eleanor grumbled.

“I am a fool.. I won’t miss any from now on,” he said as he put his chin on her head.
