“ Just call me Ruby,” the grandmother said, beaming ear to ear as she sat beside Eloise on the couch, clasping her hands between hers.

Eloise couldn't bring herself to keep a smile, she felt a pang of guilt against her chest. If only she'd known.

She bit her lip as she remembered the grandmother telling her about her grandsons. She could remember her strong belief about Antonio's brother and her worries and wishes for Antonio.

‘ How can I lie to her? Wouldn't it seem cruel?’ Her brow wrinkled as she thought.

“ Do you know how happy I am?” Ruby giggled as she turned to Antonio, “ I liked her the moment I saw her at the hospital, I even asked if she was married.”

Antonio smiled, a tiny one that one could barely see. He glanced from his grandmother to Eloise and could see how unsettled she was. She was biting her lip again.

“ This is fate,” Ruby said, looking at Yasmin, who nodded, grinning ear to ear.

“ Welcome to the Braydens family,” She said to Eloise, beaming.

“ Thanks, grandmother

  • Reborn: A Devil’s Deal to Ruin My Ex-Husband   Chapter 101: Bizarre memory

    ‘ If a day could get on one's nerves till they lose their sanity, then it'll be this day. It's like the only thing the King's family is good at, is getting on my nerves.’ Antonio said in his mind. First, it was the grandson, Leonard King, smiling as if auditioning for the role of the Most Annoying Human Alive. Does he not know what it means to maintain a distance? Standing too close to Eloise, and those little touches….a hand on her elbow, the swat on his arm. Antonio noticed every single one. Hell, he noticed them more than Eloise. He wants to snap those hands away from touching her, wipe those smug smiles off his stupid face. And worst of it all, she was smiling at him. SMILING. As if all that isn't enough, now the grandmother is telling him to babysit? Babysit the kids!? “ Ah, Mr. Brayden,” Mrs. Nadine had said warmly, pressing a hand to his arm. “Perfect timing. The little ones are restless, and I thought a strong young man like yourself could keep them occupied.” Her tone was

    “ Huh?” Eloise gasped in shock, her eyes widened with disbelief as she pointed at him, “ Leonard!” “ Elly,” he giggled as he called her back. He pulled her closer by the arm to hug her, but his arms stopped halfway as they made to wrap around her. The death glare was terrifying. He was taken aback, confused, and wondering why the man standing a few feet behind Eloise was glaring at him like that. Who is he? Is he together with her? Leonard wondered as he chuckled awkwardly before pulling away. “ How have you been?” Eloise asked giggling, “ I've been good, and you? I can see you're still looking as radiant as ever,” he replied grinning, “ Eiii, you and your sweet words,” “ C'mon, you know I'm telling the truth.” She giggled and turned to Antonio who had just glared at Leonard like he was about to snap his head for wanting to hold her. He had his hand tucked into his pocket, and his black shirt had the three upper buttons undone. His shirt clung to his body frame wit

    Antonio dusted his shirt after dropping the third round of cartons while he turned around to head back to the storage. His face twisted with disdain at his dirtied shirt. He looked up just then to see Eloise struggling to carry two cartons as she staggered back and forth. “ Who gave you two cartons?” He flared up, dashing towards her and snatching them away from her slender arm. She exhaled in relief but Antonio’s gaze was blazing. “ I asked you who gave you two cartons?” “ Huh? Ugh, I carried it myself,” “ Don't you dare lie to me,” he glared behind her and made to dash towards that dusty man handing the cartons over to other volunteers but Eloise quickly grabbed his arm. “ No, please don't, I promise, only one carton,” “ No, no more cartons,” he retorted, looking at her dusty hair and dirty shirt. Even looking at her like this pisses him off. He angrily dropped the cartons, causing Eloise’s chest to jump in fright, afraid he was about to cause a scene, but what he

    “ How-how do you know about this?” Eloise asked, amused as she read through the file handed to her, “This is a classified file,” “ How I know doesn't matter; what matters is what we're going to do about it,” Antonio replied, leaning forward on the couch beside her. She closed the file and exhaled, “ Angelito doesn't deal with other corporations,” she shook her head, “ there's no way Mason would get this deal, not to mention us snatching it from him.” “ Even if we have what they want?” She furrowed her brow, “ What do they want?” “ Currently, Angelito is planning to expand, to launch branches, but they're landlocked, and not partnering with anyone makes it limited by government---red taped,” “ So they need land,” “ Not just land, they lack manpower for a rapid construction project, and that—we have.” “ And if we wrap it in a 90-day rollout plan and political clearance? Irresistible,” she beamed, “ We should get a proposal ready then,” “ It is, whenever you're ready…,” “ Let

    “Arghh,” Eloise groaned and strongly rubbed her palm against her face. Her spoon hovered above the soup prepared for her, but she had no appetite. She couldn't get that look off her head. That look that says a thousand. “ I did something, but what? Why would he not tell me,” her face wrinkled with worries and fear. The more she forced herself to remember something, even if it's just a little bit, the more headaches she had. As if it didn't want her to recollect anything. “ I didn't actually break his car, right?” She jumped to her feet and hurriedly went out. She checked the cars and heaved a sigh of relief. There was no single scratch on any of them. She placed her palm on her chest. Glad she didn't do the most dangerous thing of all. ‘ Or was it the utensils that I broke?’ She hurriedly went back inside again, checking through the bar to see if it was wine or other things that she ruined, but nothing was out of place, and nothing looked broken. Eloise collapsed back on the ch

    The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen, curling into the stillness of the morning. Antonio leaned against the counter, sleeves rolled to the forearms, one hand absent mindedly stirring the steaming mug in front of him.At the other side of the dining table sat a small tray with a glass of water, painkillers, and a bowl of warm soup. A hangover was unpleasant, but there's no way Elosie would be escaping it so she would need it.He scoffed realizing she was still sleeping when he couldn't get a wink of sleep. Not because of work or another threat brewing from his uncle, but because every time he closed his eyes, he saw her. Felt her. Heard her.That moan. God, that moan.It had lodged in his head, a sound that snapped every restraint he's been summoning since she moved into his house and wore his shirt.The sound that was soft, breathless, sinful. The kind of sound that made a man forget his name. He could still hear it echoing in his skull, feel it shiver through his bon
