Chapter 613: Chapter 613

After dinner, Alaric Faulkner arranged for Caleb Faulkner and Estelle Sterling to be sent to another villa he owned, driving there with Eleanor Sterling.

Since Faye Sterling was at the Faulkner Family’s place, it wasn’t convenient for Eleanor Sterling to go there, lest they alarm the snake.

Eleanor Sterling glanced at Alaric Faulkner and chuckled, "Now you know I’ve got people backing me, right?

If you dare do anything to betray me, you might not be able to stay in Aethelgard."

Alaric Faulkner showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He slightly curved his lips and whispered, "That’s right, Eleanor has so many people supporting her, I surely need to keep myself in check, or else I might get torn to pieces by them."

The woman he had worked hard to win over, he would naturally hold her dearly and take care of her attentively, how could he possibly do anything to let her down?

Eleanor Sterling was just teasing Alaric Faulkner.

In reality, although those backing her were impressive, they might not necessarily be able to do much to Alaric Faulkner. Content originally comes from n0velfire.net

Alaric Faulkner’s gaze softened a bit, and he spoke slowly, "Eleanor, you’re the first woman I’ve ever liked, and my heart will always be faithful to you."

Hearing this, Eleanor Sterling felt a moment of sweetness in her heart.

So, was this Alaric Faulkner’s way of confessing?

He really did give her a strong sense of security.

Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner watched Caleb Faulkner swallow the black pill.

Caleb Faulkner’s eyes roamed around as if carefully sensing any changes in his body.

Eleanor Sterling handed him a cup of water, eagerly asking, "How’s it feel? Do you notice anything?"

Caleb Faulkner gulped down the water and patted his stomach.

Seems like there’s no special feeling.

Estelle Sterling squinted her eyes and said, "Try saying a few words and see."

Caleb Faulkner hadn’t spoken in a long time; he opened his mouth to speak but didn’t know what to say.

Seeing him , Estelle Sterling’s face changed dramatically, exclaiming, "Oh no, Sister Eleanor, Caleb’s completely mute. I’ll have a mute brother from now on. What should I do?"

Hearing Estelle Sterling’s words, Caleb Faulkner couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her.

With a ’smack,’ he stretched out his hand and gave her a heavy slap on the back of her head.

"Ow," Estelle Sterling covered her head.

Eleanor Sterling felt a bit helpless, she looked at Caleb Faulkner and asked softly, "Is it because you haven’t spoken in a while and you’re not used to it? Try saying your name."

Caleb Faulkner nodded, opened his mouth, and slowly said, "Ca... Caleb Faulkner."

Hearing Caleb Faulkner stutter through his name, Estelle Sterling sighed helplessly.

"Sister Eleanor, he’s not mute, but you turned him into a stutterer."

Eleanor Sterling gave Estelle Sterling a sideways glance, gritting her teeth, "Itching for a beating? A dog can’t spit out ivory."

Suddenly, Estelle Sterling chuckled slyly, "I have a way, do you want to try it?"

Everyone looked towards her and asked, "What way?"

Estelle Sterling grinned mischievously and then viciously twisted Caleb Faulkner’s side.

"Ow!" Caleb Faulkner jumped up instantly and angrily lunged at Estelle Sterling, "Estelle Sterling, you dare pinch me, I’m going to fight you!"

Estelle Sterling laughed while dodging, "Hahaha, now isn’t he talking just fine? Neither mute nor a stutterer."

A burst of cheerful laughter echoed in the villa.

The two began to chase and play, the atmosphere was joyful and light-hearted.

Seeing the two of them messing around, Eleanor Sterling couldn’t help but shake her head, these brothers were indeed happy-go-lucky rivals.
