Chapter 289: Chapter 289
Since the incident broke out, Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner have been pondering how to help Eleanor Sterling break the taboo and be with Alaric Faulkner.
Neither of them could sleep well, and they had lost their appetite even for meals.
At the dining table, Caleb Faulkner sighed for the fifth time, not touching the delicious food before him.
Mrs. Faulkner noticed this and immediately asked kindly, "Caleb, what’s wrong? Are you not hungry? Or do you not food? Great-grandmother can have the kitchen prepare something else for you."
Caleb Faulkner shook his head and declined, "No need, I just don’t feel like eating."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Faulkner put down her chopsticks and asked in puzzlement, "What’s the matter? Is something bothering you? Tell your great-grandmother about it."
Looking at the kind old lady before him, Caleb Faulkner hesitated for a moment.
Then he spoke, "It’s about Eleanor’s mom; she doesn’t want to be with Dad."
Estelle Sterling widened her eyes immediately when she saw Caleb Faulkner just blurt it out.
How could he tell others!
Perhaps due to the harsh impression Mrs. Faulkner left on him, the little guy felt the Faulkner family was hard to deal with.
Although Mrs. Faulkner had been exceptionally kind to him in the past few days, treating him almost the same as Caleb,
Estelle Sterling still feared telling her, worried it would provoke a strong opposition.
If that happened, there would be even less chance for Eleanor and Alaric to be together.
Seeing Estelle Sterling’s anxious expression, Caleb Faulkner gave her a reassuring look.
He had a sense of propriety, and there was no need to worry, so Estelle said nothing more.
Mrs. Faulkner was aware of Faye Sterling. She had once met her during a visit to Veridia City.
At that time, she happened to witness Faye Sterling losing her patience and scolding a sulking Caleb Faulkner.
Mrs. Faulkner didn’t have a great impression of Faye Sterling, and she knew Alaric Faulkner tolerated her only out of a sense of responsibility.
Perhaps influenced by his father, he couldn’t bring himself to abandon his wife and child...
In seven years, Alaric Faulkner never proposed to marry Faye Sterling, which was enough to prove that he had no feelings for her.
Though Mrs. Faulkner didn’t much like Faye, she was deeply fond of her great-grandson, Caleb Faulkner.
Now hearing news about Alaric Faulkner, Mrs. Faulkner was immediately intrigued.
She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Caleb, is there something great-grandmother doesn’t know? Tell me more about it."
Caleb Faulkner didn’t hesitate and immediately recounted everything about Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner.
He only concealed the fact that he and Estelle Sterling were Jasper Faulkner’s children.
After listening, Mrs. Faulkner wasn’t angry; instead, she looked excitedly at Estelle Sterling, finding her particularly adorable.
"So that’s how it is. No wonder Alaric said he recognized little Star as his son—he must have fallen for his mother."
Watching Mrs. Faulkner’s expression, Estelle Sterling was a bit bewildered. He murmured, "You... you don’t mind?"
In the little guy’s eyes, upon hearing such news, Mrs. Faulkner should have reacted like Hades’ mom, angrily throwing him out of the house.
But what’s the situation now?
She even seemed quite happy—could it be that she supports Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner being together? Thɪs chapter is updated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Listening to Estelle Sterling’s words, Mrs. Faulkner burst into cheerful laughter.
"Mind what? I’m too delighted; Alaric finally found a girl he fancies."
Mrs. Faulkner sighed deeply, "Ever since his father’s incident, I’ve been so worried that he’d end up alone.
The girl Alaric takes a liking to can’t be bad."
