Chapter 339: Chapter 339

Alaric Faulkner spoke softly, "Don’t go, I’m telling the truth."

Eleanor Sterling snorted.

He handed her a gold-embossed invitation, Eleanor glanced down at it.

A charity auction invitation!

Instead of taking it, she asked, "What do you mean?"

"The day after tomorrow, the Aethelgard charity auction, accompany me."

Eleanor wasn’t particularly pleased and said indifferently, "No need, I already have an invitation."

Just now, Stella Hawthorne had said she would go with her and would arrange for an invitation for Eleanor.

Suddenly, thinking of something, Eleanor said with meaningful undertone, "Perhaps you could give it to Faye Sterling; I think she’d be delighted."

Today, Faye was smugly showing off, saying that if Alaric were to accompany her, she’d be overjoyed.

Seeing Eleanor’s words contradicting her feelings, Alaric scooped her up with a large hand.

In an instant, she was sitting on his lap; the car’s space was already cramped, and this made them even closer together.

Looking at Alaric’s handsome face so close, Eleanor’s heart couldn’t help but race wildly.

His cool aura enveloped her, making her unable to escape.

"You... what are you doing!"

Alaric grabbed her hand that tried to push him away and whispered, "Don’t move, or I’ll kiss you."

Eleanor could only temporarily abandon her struggle, saying somewhat helplessly, "Can’t we just talk properly?"

Alaric stared at her, reaching to remove her mask.

Eleanor’s face was still swollen and red, but Alaric could imagine her original appearance.

He slowly spoke, "Don’t mention Faye Sterling, I’ve already told you, if you’re still unsure, I don’t mind making it clearer."

Then, his fingers landed on Eleanor’s lips, caressing them back and forth.

Seeing his deep eyes, Eleanor realized he was about to take advantage of her again.

Even without Faye, they couldn’t be together.

There’s the uncle and his wife.

But Alaric was always wild, Eleanor knew talking to him wouldn’t work, so she simply remained silent.

Alaric’s deep, sexy voice sounded beside her ear, he said, "Will you accompany me?"

After speaking, he stuffed the invitation into Eleanor’s hand, not allowing her to refuse.

Eleanor was a bit troubled, it seemed if she didn’t go with him, he wouldn’t let her off.

Since she’s going to the auction anyway, it doesn’t matter who she goes with. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI★Fire.net

Finally, she compromised, taking the invitation, saying, "Alright then, can you let go of me now?"

Alaric chuckled softly, clearly in a good mood because of Eleanor’s agreement.

He refused Eleanor’s request, saying, "No way, haven’t seen you for days, let me hold you."

"If you don’t release me, I’ll return the invitation to you." Eleanor threatened with a glare.

Alaric leaned in and accurately captured Eleanor’s lips.

Eleanor was speechless, kissing her again!

Alaric clutched her head, not letting her escape.

Moments later, he released her, satisfied.

After Eleanor got out of the car, she glared at him fiercely.

The scoundrel, achieving his goal and then still acting unruly.

Eleanor returned to the dorm with the invitation.

With sharp eyes, Stella Hawthorne immediately noticed the invitation, exclaiming, "Oh my, Eleanor, isn’t that the auction invitation? Did you go downstairs to see your boyfriend? Did he give it to you?"

Eleanor coughed lightly, responding vaguely, "Oh, it’s an invitation."

She originally wanted to say she wouldn’t be going with Stella, but seeing Sylvia Jarvis watching her, she held back her words.

Stella is currently hiding her identity as the Hawthorne Family heiress, can’t let it slip.

Seeing Eleanor’s gaze, Stella naturally noticed Sylvia Jarvis’s inquisitive look, she winked at Eleanor, indicating she understood.

Since Eleanor already had an invitation, Stella didn’t need to bother, Eleanor’s boyfriend was really good to her.

Sylvia Jarvis looked at Eleanor, her eyes full of envy.

She had long heard about the auction and always wanted to attend.

But the entry threshold was high, and invitations weren’t something ordinary people could get.

Eleanor’s boyfriend was so impressive!?
