Chapter 242: Chapter 242

Alaric Faulkner was stunned for a moment, then realized what Eleanor Sterling was talking about, and his face turned dark again.

It seemed that not touching her before made Eleanor Sterling directly conclude that he was really incapable.

Damn it, you’ve made your bed, now lie in it.

"You fix me." He said.

Eleanor Sterling sighed and straightforwardly confessed, "Actually, I was lying to you. I’m not good at handling these things."

Earlier, she was just trying to fleece Alaric Faulkner for money. Now seeing him so pitiful, being driven out of his home and homeless, she finally had some conscience.

"Then there’s no need to contact your master. I feel fine."

Eleanor thought he was having his pride hurt and immediately comforted him, "Actually, you don’t have to be embarrassed.

Out of every hundred men, ten have this problem. It’s very normal."

Alaric Faulkner was certain he was definitely not among those ten.

The thought made him want to vomit blood, but he had to pay for the lies he had previously told.

Seeing Alaric Faulkner not saying anything, Eleanor didn’t continue with the topic, she packed her things and said, "Get some good rest."

She picked up her medicine box and left the room.

Alaric Faulkner watched her back, his gaze dark.

It seemed he could only employ a slow and steady approach with Eleanor Sterling, slowly winning her over.

Just as he was about to sleep, his phone suddenly buzzed with a new message.

He picked it up and glanced at it, it was from Estelle Sterling.

Estelle Sterling: "Uncle Faulkner, exclusive news, Uncle Micah picks up Sister Eleanor for work every day."

After reading that message, Alaric Faulkner’s face darkened, and he let out a cold laugh, "Huh."

The next day, Micah Moss came to pick up Eleanor Sterling for work.

He could have waited in the car, but due to his gentlemanly demeanor, he parked, went upstairs, and fetched Eleanor Sterling downstairs.

He had just pressed the doorbell when the door opened.

"Eleanor, good morning..."

Micah’s smile froze on his face, his expression shocked at the scene behind the door.

Alaric Faulkner’s hair was slightly disheveled, and his bathrobe was loosely hanging on him, revealing his firm chest.

He exuded an air of laziness as if he just woke up, looking quite seductive.

There seemed to be faint ambiguous red marks on his chest.

Even as composed as Micah, seeing Alaric Faulkner appearing at Eleanor Sterling’s place, he couldn’t help but change his expression.

Alaric Faulkner curled his lips into a smile, his demeanor lazy, and said, "Eleanor hasn’t gotten up yet, she was too tired last night, would you wait a bit?"

Such a suggestive statement revealed several important bits of information.

Micah’s gaze turned dark, and he managed to pull a smile back on, "Okay, I’ll wait for her."

Alaric Faulkner didn’t stand on ceremony and directly closed the door.

After turning around, he saw Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner behind him, both with arms crossed watching him.

"Get ready, I’ll take you to school," he said.

Both nodded and turned to leave.

Estelle Sterling whispered to Caleb, "Wow, Hades really pulled a bold move, injuring himself to ward off Uncle Micah."

Caleb Faulkner chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Looks like our hopes will soon be realized."

Hearing the exchange between the two brats, Alaric Faulkner smiled.

Luckily, Estelle had timely intel, he didn’t waste saving her with his own flesh and blood.

Outside the door, Micah’s face darkened.

Did Eleanor finally succumb to Alaric’s charm? She had never let a man stay over at her place.

But Alaric managed to stay there openly.

But that was Alaric Faulkner.

Handsome, wealthy, dignified, and elegant, even though he has a son with Faye Sterling, he’s still unmarried, with plenty of women wanting to throw themselves at him.

Who wouldn’t be moved by such a man?

Eleanor being completely smitten by him wasn’t impossible. Newest update provided by novelꜰire.net

Micah’s heart twisted in pain, he didn’t know if he still had a chance to enter Eleanor’s eyes.

When Eleanor Sterling woke up, she found Alaric Faulkner, Estelle Sterling, and Caleb Faulkner all up too; she was somewhat surprised at how these three got up so early.

Alaric Faulkner had even made her breakfast.

Seeing the heart-shaped fried egg in front of her, she couldn’t help but look at Alaric and say: "President Faulkner, truly, you don’t have to..."

She was just temporarily housing him for two days; Alaric didn’t need to ingratiate himself with her , which made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

Alaric Faulkner chuckled lightly and said, "Is there a problem with pampering my own woman?"

Eleanor Sterling: "..."

She thought he had changed his approach, but it turns out he still spoke in such a frivolous manner.

She snorted, lowered her head, and began eating.

Alaric Faulkner said, "I’ll take Little Star and Little Yi to school, you don’t have to worry."

"Thank you." Eleanor Sterling was still grateful.

After eating, Eleanor Sterling left under the gaze of the three, feeling somewhat odd.

Opening the door, she discovered Micah lingering outside, with a mournful look about him, not knowing how long he’d waited.

"Micah? Why are you here? Why didn’t you call me?"

She forgot Micah would come to pick her up for work.

Micah gave a wry smile, after what Alaric said about Eleanor being exhausted, how could he have the nerve to disturb her?

Recalling the scene he saw earlier, Micah couldn’t help but inwardly mock himself.

Last time at the hospital, he had convinced himself, but now he couldn’t do it any longer.

Eleanor noticed his unusual mood and asked, "What’s wrong? Frowning so early in the morning."

Micah shook his head, "Nothing, let’s go to work first."

Eleanor started walking towards the elevator.

Micah stood there stunned for two seconds, then followed her.

Downstairs, Eleanor had reached the car, but she still saw Micah hesitating.

She crossed her arms, waiting for him to approach.

Micah looked up and met Eleanor’s gaze.

"Micah, we’re so familiar, whatever is on your mind, just say it, perhaps I can help ease your worries."

Previously, Micah had always dared not confess, afraid to disrupt the relationship he had with Eleanor.

Even now, he dared not speak, afraid she’d tell him she truly loved Alaric Faulkner and draw a line between them.

After contemplating for a while, Micah finally spoke up, "Eleanor, what is your relationship with Alaric Faulkner? I just saw him at your place."

And appearing like that, as if showing off what had transpired last night.

Eleanor was momentarily stunned, followed by a hint of awkwardness flashing across her face, unsure of how to explain this matter.

Seeing Eleanor’s full discomfort, Micah quickly added, "I wasn’t intending to interrogate, rather I just wanted to understand."

Actually, what was her current relationship with Eleanor? She only agreed to give him priority.

They weren’t even boyfriend and girlfriend; he essentially had no right to inquire.

Eleanor weakly smiled, feeling she had perhaps erred by giving Micah hope before.
