Chapter 8 2 9 Cedric took the wheel, driving Bernard and Eleanor to Lianaâs villa. As they arrived, Hailey and the group emerged, completely disregarding their driver and rushing towards Eleanor, who was stepping out of the backseat âEleanor, itâs been over a month! Weâve missed youâ they exclaimed in unison Eleanor beamed, opening her arms and embracing Hailey, followed by Liana Tmissed you guys too.â
Not to be left out, Nina suddenly appeared out of nowhere, latching onto Eleanorâs leg and looking up expectantly, anticipating a warm embrace What about me, what about me she pleaded, a hint of mischief in her voice âHurry up and hug me, do I look fatter? Nina inquired, playfully seeking validation. Under Hailey and Lianaâs care during the month Eleanor was away.
Nina had noticeably gained weight Eleanor found it a tad challenging to lift Nina, given the added weight she had acquired in just over a month âNina, I noticed not only did you get plump.â
âBut prettier too?â
Hailey and Liana burst into laughter.
âWhat Eleanor means is youâve gotten a lot fatterâ
Only then did Nina catch on, holding her chubby arms tightly, huffing at Eleanor.
âHmph, youâre making fun of me, I want a hug from Mr. Laurence.â
Bernard had just gotten out of the car when a pair of chocolateâcovered hands reached out to him, wanting a hug...
He looked at the hands, raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of distaste.
âWash your hands firstâ
Nina, who had just been hit hard, opened her mouth wide to cry, but was choked by Bernardâs words.
âYou look even dirtier when you cry.â
Ninaâs wide open mouth, frozen in surprise, after a while...
âIâm so mad..â
Nina clenched her little fists, swearing sheâd never talk to Bernard again, heâs too annoying.
Seeing that Nina was quite upset, Eleanor laughed and reached out, touching Ninaâs angry and twisted face.
âNina, we bought you a lot of presents, wanna go see?â
âWhere?!â
Nina, who had just sworn not to talk to Bernard, immediately changed her attitude when she saw a pile of gifts.
âYouâre the best to me!â
Seeing that Nina was busy unwrapping gifts in the trunk and didnât have time to bother her, Eleanor turned to Yeager who was standing behind Hailey.
âIs this Dr Yeager?â
Hailey nodded, stepped aside, allowing Yeager to face Eleanor and Bernard, then introduced âThis is Yeager, a surgeon.â
After Haileyâs introduction, Yeager politely extended his hand.
âMr. and Mrs. Laurence, nice to meet youâ
His hand was extended towards Bernard, very respectful, but his fingers were slightly trembling Bernard lowered his gaze, moving from the trembling fingers to Yeagerâs face His eyes were like stars in the night sky, bright yet inscrutable Although Yeager had met many wealthy people, facing such indifferent eyes still made him nervous.
He wasnât scared, itâs just that the man in front of him exuded a natural elegance and nobility.
