Chapter 404: Chapter 404

Eleanor Sterling returned, and Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner grabbed her, "Mommy, let’s go back together."

Alaric Faulkner stood on the side with a cold expression.

He was waiting for her.

At this moment, Silas Hawthorne approached from behind and said, "Mrs. Jiang, let me take you back."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang understood that Eleanor Sterling must have explained things to him, and she nodded with a smile.

"Alright, then I won’t be polite, Silas, I’m troubling you."

Sister Qin helped Mrs. Jiang leave with Silas Hawthorne, leaving only Eleanor Sterling and the others at the scene.

Eleanor Sterling felt a bit uneasy; she actually didn’t want to leave with Alaric Faulkner, as the man’s cold aura was too strong now.

"Let’s go." His deep voice sounded.

Watching Alaric Faulkner’s back as he turned to leave, Eleanor Sterling sighed and followed him.

After leaving the house, one car couldn’t fit everyone, so Alaric Faulkner sent Elijah Hayes away and drove himself.

Eleanor Sterling resignedly opened the car door and got in.

The atmosphere inside the car remained depressed, and the two children were also very tactful in staying silent.

Eleanor Sterling shifted, feeling entirely uncomfortable.

Finally, unable to bear the pressure, she spoke first, "Alaric Faulkner, though you caused quite a misunderstanding by bringing Estelle and Caleb, I still have to thank you for helping me."

Alaric Faulkner spared a cold glance at her.

His eyes carried a hint of chill as he nonchalantly said, "Marrying my good brother to cuckold me openly? Hmm?"

How was she supposed to know why Silas Hawthorne was here?

Alaric Faulkner curled his lips, mocking, "If I hadn’t brought the kids and used them to secure my favor, my wife would have been snatched away by now."

With that, his gaze became sharp instantly.

Eleanor Sterling was completely speechless, unable to find words for a long time.

It was clear that Alaric Faulkner was angry.

At this moment, Eleanor Sterling thought, maybe she should take this opportunity to sever ties with him, rather than wait until she’d be more reluctant later.

Seeing that Eleanor Sterling was silent, Alaric Faulkner’s demeanor grew even colder, feeling as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his chest.

This damn woman really had no intention of coaxing him.

Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner exchanged a glance, engaging in a silent conversation.

"Hey, they seem to be arguing."

"Are you blind? That’s clearly a cold war!"

"So what do we do now?"

The two little ones sighed in unison.

Soon, the car arrived at the Faulkner Family estate.

Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner got out of the car to go back.

Eleanor Sterling snapped out of her thoughts, glancing at the luxurious entrance of the Faulkner manor, and felt a tinge of reluctance as she was about to leave.

All these years, she had been taking Estelle Sterling from place to place, and now she finally found a home for him; she should be happy for him.

"President Faulkner, may I speak a few words with Estelle?"

"Mm." Alaric Faulkner responded with his hand on the steering wheel.

Eleanor Sterling and Estelle Sterling got out of the car and walked to a piece of open ground.

In the car, Caleb Faulkner leaned his head out from the back seat.

"Daddy! Do you want to know what they’re going to say? I have a bug here; you just need to connect the channel to hear it."

Before getting out of the car, Estelle Sterling had given him this, and since they often played with it together, Caleb Faulkner naturally knew how to use it.

Alaric Faulkner watched the small device being held up, his eyes flickering.

In the end, without any hesitation, he quickly adjusted the car’s channel and connected to the signal channel of the bug.

Eleanor Sterling’s voice spilled out from the car’s speakers, and Caleb Faulkner grinned, having indeed heard it.
