Chapter 717: Chapter 717

Looking up, she found his deep eyes gazing at her, just as she had imagined in her heart.

Eleanor Sterling inwardly sighed at the sin.

It seemed Silas Hawthorne knew Eleanor had already seen through his thoughts, so he smiled openly, "Since you’ve noticed, I’ve nothing to hide. Knowing you’re not my sister, I’m very happy." Newest update provided by novel※fire.net

Hearing these words, Eleanor sighed softly.

She didn’t understand why he was so persistent about her.

Eleanor gazed at Silas Hawthorne with complex eyes, "Silas, Alaric Faulkner and I are already married, aren’t you being obstinate?

In the future, you should be able to find a girl you’re fond of, so stop... overthinking."

Silas smiled without any embarrassment.

He said mildly, "Don’t worry, Eleanor. Alaric and I are friends, I won’t do anything to confuse you two.

It’s just that you were the first woman I had feelings for, and it’s naturally not so easy to forget."

Eleanor pursed her lips, feeling that Silas said these words just for her to hear.

If he had truly moved on without a ripple, how could he possibly show such excitement upon hearing this news?

It was just unfortunate that fate wasn’t on their side.

They couldn’t be siblings, nor partners.

Estelle Sterling’s voice floated from behind Eleanor, "You’ve lost your chance, Sister Eleanor is already someone else’s woman."

Caleb Faulkner also chimed in with a smile, "Uncle Silas, don’t steal Daddy’s woman, otherwise Daddy won’t let you off."

Eleanor was filled with exasperation, these two little rascals, so cunning, and they eavesdropped on everything.

Silas laughed, "Let’s not stand here anymore, let’s go inside quickly."

Eleanor successfully met Warren Hawthorne, and they chatted for a while in the study.

Warren kept the same attitude, also telling Eleanor not to worry about this matter, and that he would still regard her as his daughter.

This made Eleanor feel another wave of emotion in her heart.

As she was about to leave The Hawthorne Family’s house, Stella Hawthorne hurriedly ran in, and upon seeing Eleanor, immediately said, "Eleanor, you’re here? I came back as soon as I heard you were at my house."

Eleanor hadn’t seen Stella Hawthorne in a while, she smiled and said, "It’s not like we can’t meet, you specially came back to see me?"

"Eleanor, stay for dinner today."

In the end, Eleanor couldn’t resist Stella and stayed at the Hawthorne’s for dinner.

While waiting, the two of them took a walk in the garden.

Stella hesitated for a while before speaking, "Eleanor, I’ve seen it all. Even though we can’t be family, in my heart, you’re still my good sister."

Unexpectedly, Stella sought her out just to say this, Eleanor smiled and replied, "Yes, in my heart, you’re my good sister too."

They didn’t become distant because of this, instead, it brought them closer.

After walking a bit longer, Stella looked hesitant to speak, and Eleanor noticed, so she asked proactively, "What happened?"

"It’s just..." Stella appeared reluctant, hesitating for half a day before whispering, "Xander asked me to be his girlfriend, I don’t know if I should accept."

After all, Stella had been hurt by Felix Fuller before, and she was afraid to start another relationship.

With no one else to confide in, Stella sought the opinion of her good sister, Eleanor Sterling.
