Chapter 1252 Last time Pearce was at the Sharp familyâs construction site, Peterson was the one who hosted him. So, he recognized Peterson and they were on pretty good terms, shaking hands as they met.
âMr. Sharp, sorry to keep you waiting.â
âNo worries.â Peterson brushed it off casually, replying before turning his gaze to Eleanor who was at Pearceâs side.
âMs. Elena, youâre even more stunning in person than in photos.â
A flash of light crossed his eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it had come.
This was Eleanorâs first face-to-face encounter with Peterson, the first time she was really getting a good look at him.
Peterson was a real looker, with chiseled features and a perfect face shape complemented by his healthy, tanned skin. He was as flawless as a sculpture, with manners to match.
Beyond his looks, his entire demeanor was top-notch as well. He was graceful and gave off the vibe of a well-bred rich kid.
âMr. Sharp, youâre even more suave in person than on TV!â
Hearing Eleanorâs compliment, Peterson extended his hand towards her with a smile.
âLetâs make this official then, Iâm Peterson.â
Eleanor also reached out to shake his hand, âIâm Emilia.â
Peterson gave a polite nod and let go of her hand, inviting her and Pearce to hop into his car.
Typically, a big-shot family like the North Funland would have chauffeurs, but Peterson was driving himself, very down to earth.
âMy grandfather was a strict disciplinarian. He taught us to keep a low profile and not to be too flashy. So, we usually do things ourselves.â
Peterson explained as he drove, then smiled at Eleanor, âJust because I didnât hire a driver doesnât mean we canât afford your design fees.â
Hearing this, Eleanor could sense the light-hearted humor in Petersonâs words and started to relax.
She laughed and replied, âMr. Sharp, youâre pulling my leg. Iâm well aware of your familyâs financial status.â
Hearing this, Peterson glanced at her and said, âWell, since youâve already done your homework on my family, I wonât bore you with the details.â
Eleanor nodded in agreement and didnât say anything. Peterson then asked, âMs. Elena, this is your first time in Canada, right?â
âYes, Iâve never been here before.â
Upon hearing this, Peterson rolled down the car windows and opened the sunroof.
âGet some fresh air and take in the scenery of Canada. Weâll be home soon.â
His considerate care for women was clearly ingrained from a young age. His granddad, Yates, must be a kind-hearted old gent.
Petersonâs car weaved slowly through the wide streets, flanked by dense trees. The natural scenery was very soothing.
Eleanor couldnât help but gaze at the view outside the window, then glanced at the rear mirror to see a black luxury car tailing them closely.
She saw it, and so did Peterson, âWhy didnât you invite your friend to join us?â
He looked at Eleanor and asked with a smile, âAre you afraid we might hurt you?â
Caught off guard, Eleanor was a bit embarrassed but she recovered quickly, âWell, you know I rarely visit construction sites personally. Itâs natural to be a bit wary when I do.â
Eleanor didnât specify who was tailing them, just hinted at the potential danger, which was pretty cautious of her.
But Peterson didnât seem to mind, âMs. Elena, youâre a renowned architect, itâs understandable youâd need bodyguards.â
Eleanor replied with a laugh, âSafety first, right?â
Peterson returned the smile and then the conversation tapered off.
Soon, they passed through several distinctive small towns and finally arrived at a European-style manor.
The place was somewhat secluded, but the scenery was beautiful. There was a small creek in front of the manor, against a backdrop of green hills.
The bright sunshine filtering through made the blue sky and white clouds even more refreshing.

Although the manor was neither too big nor too small, it was indeed low-key and not overly luxurious, just as Peterson had said.
Seeing Eleanor getting out of the car and surveying the surroundings, Peterson added, âThis is where my grandpaâs first love used to live. After he retired, he moved here.â
Eleanorâs gaze shifted to Peterson who was leading them towards the lawn, âYour grandpaâs first love, was that your grandma?â
Peterson shook his head, âMy grandma has passed away.â
Eleanor was taken aback. That meant Yates was cherishing not his wife, but another woman.â
