Chapter 249: Chapter 249

Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner got up one after another and sat obediently on the chairs after washing up.

Seeing Estelle, Eleanor Sterling was reminded of that phone call last night.

So she narrowed her eyes and said with a slightly warning tone, "Little Star, don’t send things randomly anymore."

Upon hearing this, Estelle immediately perked up and cautiously asked Eleanor, "Did... did that person see it?"

After the words fell, Alaric Faulkner and Caleb Faulkner both looked towards Estelle, seemingly very curious about his ’that person’.

Alaric narrowed his eyes, a barely noticeable dark gleam flashed in them.

Eleanor showed a face of helplessness and said, "Yes, they saw it and even got a scolding."

"Okay, I’ll definitely be more careful next time!" Estelle promised earnestly.

After breakfast, Eleanor went out to work.

Caleb quickly moved next to Estelle and curiously asked, "Little Star, who exactly is that person you’re talking about?"

Estelle’s eyes darted before saying, "I told you before, Micah Moss is rival number two, this is rival number one."

Upon hearing this, Caleb showed a face full of curious shock and asked, "Are they amazing? Who are they?"

"Oh, just don’t ask, Sister Eleanor won’t agree to them anyway," Estelle insisted tightly against Caleb’s probing questions.

Caleb could only look at Alaric with a face that said, ’I tried my best but couldn’t get an answer for you’.

Seeing this, Alaric’s expression became even darker. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net

Soon after, Jasper Faulkner received a task to investigate this mysterious number one rival.

In the office, Jasper pushed the door open and entered.

"Brother, I’ve checked what you asked me to."

"Speak," Alaric said coldly.

Jasper sighed and said, "Little brother, I have limited abilities, I couldn’t find anything at all, not even your name, how am I supposed to check? Unless we wait for that person to appear voluntarily."

Alaric lowered his gaze, since that’s the case, he’ll wait for that person to appear before deciding.

In the evening, before Eleanor finished work, Alaric had already prepared a large table full of dishes.

He had even lit candles, creating an atmosphere like a romantic candlelight dinner.

Eleanor almost choked upon returning home.

This atmosphere, this scene...

Could Alaric be planning to confess and propose? Eleanor shuddered as such a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

She pretended not to know Alaric’s intentions and said, "Oh? So sumptuous tonight? Just in time, Micah hasn’t gone far, I’ll call him up to join us."

Without waiting for Alaric to speak, she walked to the balcony to make a call.

Estelle and Caleb gave Alaric a look of sympathy.

Upon receiving Eleanor’s call inviting him for dinner, Micah felt very happy.

But when he entered the room and saw the candlelight dinner carefully prepared by Alaric, his eyes flickered slightly.

Micah sat down without showing any emotion.

Eleanor deliberately ignored the strange atmosphere and said, "Make yourself at home..."

Alaric curled his lips and said, "Thank you for taking care of Eleanor for so long, we should have you over for dinner to properly thank you."

After a pause, he continued meaningfully, "Now that we’re inviting you, you don’t mind, do you?"

Eleanor’s face stiffened, directly choked.

Damn! She almost choked.

Micah smiled faintly and didn’t take Alaric’s actions to heart.

Caleb nudged Estelle, signaling him to quickly think of a solution.

Estelle’s eyes darted around before landing on the braised pork ribs on the table.

The youngster exclaimed, "Wow, Sister Eleanor, aren’t those your favorite braised pork ribs? Fuh... huh?"

Before the words were finished, two pairs of chopsticks clamped onto the ribs at the same time, then both pieces of ribs were simultaneously placed in Eleanor’s bowl.
