Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Smiling, Eloise looked at Lily and said, âYouâre rejecting me because of my relationship with Nate, arenât you?â
Lily was surprised to hear that. She turned to look at Eloise with disbelief written all over her gaze. She did not understand how Eloise could tell her the secret she had been carefully hiding for decades so quickly.
âYou donât need to look at me like that. I know youâve found out about it,â Eloise said faintly. â Iâm bringing this up because I want us to talk about things easier now that weâre on the same page. Itâll be difficult for us to talk with people around us. Since only the two of us are here, we can be honest with each other.â
âThis has nothing to do with what you said. I rejected you simply because I canât do it, and itâs not for any other reason,â Lily explained.
âReally?â Eloise leaned forward and stared into Lilyâs eyes. Suddenly, she questioned, âThen let me ask you this; where is Nate now?â
Lily was puzzled. âHow would I know that?â
âHow could you not know that? All he thought about was you, and everything he did was to win you back. I remember youâre the last person he met before he went missing! Donât you think you should know his whereabouts? Did he not contact you all this while?â
âNathaniel is missing?â
âThat is why I havenât seen him in so long. I thought he was getting his life back together somewhere else and trying to accept his defeat, but he went missing. Still, how could a grown man like him go missing so suddenly? Did that happen because of the bankruptcy?â
âYou donât know about it?â Eloise observed Lily, trying to see if the latter was lying.
âSorry. I have no idea what happened. Since you know about my past relationship with Nate, Iâm sure you know we ended things long ago. What he does has nothing to do with me anymore.â Lily shrugged.
She felt nothing apart from the momentary shock after learning about his disappearance. Anything related to him, including his disappearance, was none of her concern.
Eloise said nothing at first. She just gulped her sparkling water and put the can down harshly before she exclaimed., âLily, are you that heartless?! No matter what, you two had dated for a few years.
Although I couldnât tell you about my identity, I had always approved of you being my daughterâinâlaw.â
âI admit Nate did you wrong in the past, but the most valuable thing about a man is his willingness to admit his mistakes and change for the better. He knows what he did wrong and promised to return to you, so why canât you give him another chance to prove himself? Donât you have any feelings for him anymore?â
After a short pause, Eloise seemed aggravated about the situation and said with a heavy heart, âI donât believe you donât love him anymore! Youâve done so much and sacrificed a lot for him back then. That means you still love him, right? Alexander is indeed a great man, but itâs not easy being the wife of a wealthy and influential man.
âIâm speaking from experience, and I can tell you that the Russells are not the kind of people you want to get involved with, Lily. Even the Lodge family wonât be able to protect you by then.â
Again, she continued, âSilly girl! Rather than getting mixed up with the Russells, why donât you just be with Nate? I can provide the two of you with the resources to start over again, and Iâm sure you guys can make it as long as you work together. A real couple goes through difficult times together!â
Lily chuckled at Eloiseâs words. âShe sure knows how to be considerate of me. Iâm going to tear up because everything she said is for my own good.â
âWell, thank you so much, Mrs. Tanner! I can see that youâre giving the suggestions because you want me to lead a better life,â Lily said, smiling. âYouâre agreeing to it?â Eloise was overjoyed.
