Daddy, Marry the Pretty Lady의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 5

Lancaster HotelThe ornate doors of the hotel swung open, and the Whitfield family spilled out into the windy night. Rupert ushered his father, Edmund, toward the waiting town car."You and Mother can go ahead," Rupert said, flashing a deceptively harmless smile as he waved to his parents in the back seat. "We'll ride back with Cassandra."Edmund Whitfield studied his son's innocent expression and frowned slightly. "Rupert, do not try to bully your sister.""I know, I know. I'm not a child anymore, Father, you don't need to lecture me," Rupert replied smiling. "Didn't you say we ought to spend more time bonding? I'm simply creating an opportunity to communicate with Eleanor."Convinced by the sincerity on Rupert's face, Edmund gave a satisfied nod and signaled the driver to move on. As the car pulled away, only four people remained standing beneath the hotel's grand awning."James, be a dear and fetch the car.

My mate and I have a table just over there. Why don't you join us for a round?"A tall, lanky man who had been stalking the

Sebastian Lockwood booked a luxury suite at The Lancaster Hotel and tasked the hotel staff with helping Eleanor Whitfield clean up, while he retreated to an adjacent room to wash away the mess from the evening.He couldn't help but smile wryly under the shower. It seemed this little woman really had him wrapped around her finger. Anyone else who had left him in such an embarrassing, disheveled state would have been tossed straight out onto the street. Yet, when it came to her, he found himself utterly helpless.After rinsing off, Bash stepped out into the room wearing a fine dressing gown.Over on the bed, Nell had already been cleaned up and was sleeping soundly, curled tightly around the duvet. Her long dark hair was splayed messily across the white sheets, framing a beautiful striking face. She was clearly a terribly restless sleeper, yet there was something incredibly sweet and endearing about her features in repose.Bash looked down at her, then unconsciously sat on the edge of t
