Lahat ng Kabanata ng Daddy, Marry the Pretty Lady: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Eleanor, having retreated to the staff kitchen, was not nearly as calm as she appeared on the surface.It was bad enough that Cassandra had parachuted into the magazine alone; the addition of James was almost too much to bear. She felt as though her road ahead had gone completely dark, devoid of any hope.Lost in thought, Eleanor completely forgot that she had pressed the red button on the hot water dispenser."Ah!"*Clatter!*Feeling a sudden, burning pain in her hand, Eleanor cried out and reflexively dropped the mug she was holding."Hiss—"Focusing entirely on the burn on her hand, she had forgotten that the mug shattering on the floor was full of boiling water. Wearing open-toed sandals, the splashing water scolded her foot directly.She jumped back violently, but in her high heels, she lost her balance and crashed into the staff rest chair beside her.*Thump!*The back of her head slammed into the chair before she tumbled awkwardly to the floor.Eleanor was caught completely off

Having witnessed the entire saga of Sebastian Lockwood's emotional fluctuations, Charles simply nodded, secretly licking his tongue in amusement.He had never seen ‘Uncle Seb’ so emotionally transparent before. Not only had he witnessed it this time, but he also knew exactly who was responsible.*Heh. I could definitely win a bet with this information,* Charles mused mischievously, though not a trace of it showed on his face.After Charles left and the door clicked shut, only Sebastian and Eleanor remained in the examination room.Because of her recent discovery, Eleanor stayed silent, keeping her head bowed as she tried to piece together the real reason Sebastian had brought her here.Sebastian, on the other hand, had initially been waiting for her to speak first. When he was met with nothing but silence, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly."How did you get hurt?""What?""How did you get injured?"Eleanor seemed slightly confused, prompting Sebastian to repeat his q

"Auntie Wife~"Theo looked up at a deeply conflicted Eleanor and tugged pitifully at her sleeve."Please just let my dad live here. Don't worry, he'll pay you the rent, cover the gas and electric, and handle all the bills! We absolutely will not live here for free!"He patted his little chest proudly and promised, "I guarantee it on my honour!"Eleanor felt as though a flock of crows had just flown over her head, cawing mockingly.The idea of asking Sebastian Lockwood to stay was far too abrupt, but seeing Theo's pleading little face, she found it incredibly difficult to say no.What a nightmare.Eleanor thought for a moment, then said gently, "I'm not worried about you living here for free."It was obvious that Sebastian was not the stingy, boorish type. Everything about him radiated wealth and high-class sophistication.Whatever his background was, it was certainly well beyond her own social circles. She definitely wasn't worried about his ability to pay the rent.The issue was enti

Sebastian was thoughtful. As he looked at Eleanor, who was crying softly and shouting “little brother, run” and “don’t catch my little brother” from time to time, his heart also clenched into a ball.He lay silently beside her, reached out to hold her in his arms, and rested his forehead on the top of her hair, his movements gentle. He lowered his voice and no longer restrained his emotions the way he would during the day, but called “Little Nell” over and over again, as if to echo the “little brother” she was calling in her dream.When ordinary people have nightmares, they usually wake from their dreams if someone is by their side, but Eleanor didn’t wake up; right now, she kept running in the dream.“Stop chasing! Stop chasing!”The young Eleanor was panting, two lines of tears on her face; she was filthy like a little beggar, but those grape-like eyes were black and bright, which made people adore her on sight.“Hey — you think that if you say ‘stop chasing,’ we’ll just stop? I cha

James was beaten so hard that his face turned sideways. When he turned his head back, his face was cold, with anger in his eyes. “Eleanor — Whitfield! Don’t be shameless!”Eleanor had thought she had already seen through James, a shameless person, but she found that there was no seeing through this man, because he would show a more disgusting side from time to time. Of course, it was also possible that when she was with him before, he had disguised himself too well, covering all his wolf’s skin under a sheep’s skin — or it could be that she had been blind at the time!Eleanor took a deep look at James, who had been so exasperated that he revealed his true nature, and pulled the corner of her mouth coldly. “Yes, I just want to shame my face. How big is your face, James? Even the vast ocean can’t hold your face. How can a small person like me hold your face? James, you and I have long been in the past tense. Since you chose someone else, I have given up on you. So stop pretending to be
