Chapter 1352 Antoine flashed a subtle smile, turning to glance at the stern-faced man dressed in a crisp suit, âBro, did you hear that? Eleanor said Iâm handsome.â
Bevis, not a man of many words or smiles, gave Antoine a plain look and said, âWeâre here for serious discussions, not to toot our own horn.â
After rolling his eyes at Bevis sober mood, Antoine turned his attention back to Eleanor, âEleanor, Peterson mentioned that you donât wish to return to the Sharp Estate. May I ask why?â
Eleanor gently rubbed her belly, âI have my own child now, and my own family. I donât need to return to the Sharp Estate. Itâs enough to know that my family are you guys.â
Antoine softened his eyes, looking at Eleanorâs belly, âSo youâre pregnant. Congratulations, youâre going to be a mom.â
Thinking of her obedient child, Eleanorâs lips curled into a faint smile, âThank you for your well wishes.â
After a chat about her upcoming baby, Antoine, the more empathetic of the brothers, took the opportunity to strengthen their bond and persuade her, âEleanor, regardless of the circumstances, it is important to connect with your roots. That way, your child will know his motherâs lineage. Not just for his future, but during his upbringing, having the support of a powerful family like the Sharps will foster confidence and courage.â
Confidence and courage were what Eleanor lacked during her own upbringing, leading her to live passively as an adult. Still...
Eleanor looked at Antoine and the silent Bevis, giving them a soft smile, âI can provide my child a confident environment on my own, without relying on the Sharp family.â
Bevis, who rarely smiled, forced a grin, treating Eleanor gently, âBut we, as your cousins, hope you can come home.â
Eleanor, looking at Bevis sincere eyes, was a bit torn, âI...â
Antoine nodded in approval, âHe is right. Even if you donât live in the Sharp Estate, your motherâs grave should be relocated to our familyâs cemetery, and your sisterâs too.â
Eleanor firmly refused, âMy motherâs empty tomb can be moved from the Pine family to the Sharp family, but my sisterâs canât. She and her husband were very much in love; they must be buried together.â
The three brothers exchanged glances, and finally, Peterson nodded, âThen we wonât disturb your sisterâs ashes, weâll just include her name in the family register and restore her status as a Sharp heiress.â
Without waiting for Eleanorâs response, Peterson continued, âNow, youâre the only child of Pauline who is alive. Even if we want to move the tomb, it requires your presence. Come back with me.â
Petersonâs words were followed by Bevis, âOur grandfather truly didnât know that Maâam Pauline had sent your mother away. Otherwise, he wouldnât have let you suffer outside all these years.
If this is something youâre holding against us, Iâll have him personally apologize to you. How about that?â
Facing these three handsome and eloquent cousins, Eleanor felt a headache coming on.
âGive me some time to think. As for the relocation of the tomb, it must wait until after my child is born. Iâm not in a suitable condition to visit the cemetery now.â
Bevis understood, âIn that case, weâll leave our contact information with you. When youâve made up your mind, give us a call.â
Eleanor simply nodded in response, and the three brothers stood up to leave. Just as they reached the door, they bumped into Hailey and Cedric.
Haileyâs eyes lit up at the sight of Bevis, even more so when she saw Peterson, but when she spotted Antoine, her eyes nearly popped out of her head!
âYou... Are you the lead actor in Woodland Devastation?!â
Antoine, maintaining his public image, promptly put on a dazzling smile, âThatâs correct, I am.â
âOh my god!â Hailey squealed in excitement, rushing over to grab Antoineâs arm.
Cedric, watching from the side, felt a surge of anger simmering in his eyes.
Unaware of Cedricâs reaction, Hailey held onto Antoine, babbling on about her love for his work, âI love your movies! Youâre such a terrific actor, I really, really like you!â
Faced with an enthusiastic fan, Antoineâs grin widened even more, âSo, you only like my acting skills? Donât you think Iâm handsome?â
âYouâre handsome! So handsome! Thereâs no other male star as handsome as you!â
This was a globally recognized superstar, who could.compare to his looks? Haileyâs words made Antoine quite pleased. He took a pen from his pocket and gave Hailey a flirtatious wink.
âWould you like to leave your contact information?!â

Just as Hailey was about to agree, Cedric stepped between them, using his tall, muscular frame to block their interaction, âDo you want me to leave my contact information for you?!â
Antoine seemed less perturbed by Cedricâs anger, âIf you want to, sure. I donât discriminate based on gender.â
Cedric was speechless.
