Chapter 718: Chapter 718

Eleanor Sterling smiled and said, "Haven’t you already been involved with him? What’s there to hesitate about?"

"I don’t know either..." Stella Hawthorne looked conflicted.

"Stella, are you still not over Felix Fuller?"

"No, I forgot about that scumbag ages ago." Stella immediately shook her head in denial.

"Since that’s the case, you can confidently start a new romance. There’s no need to worry about any issues; you can’t always be trapped in the past."

Stella lowered her eyes, "I’m scared now. Dad was right; I should find a boyfriend with a similar family background so I don’t end up with someone like Felix Fuller."

Eleanor sighed, "Besides a similar family background, there are also those with potential. I think Xander Lawson is a really good guy. You might want to consider him."

Stella sighed. Actually, she had indeed felt a bit of a spark, but she just didn’t dare to take that step.

Now that Eleanor also believed Xander Lawson was good, and she trusted Eleanor’s judgment, could she give it a try?

Eleanor placed her hand on her shoulder and smiled, "I believe Xander Lawson is a good man, and I hope you can be happy. If he ever bullies you, I’ll stand up for you!"

The worries on Stella’s face disappeared instantly, and she grinned.

"Sure, then I’ll cling to your support, and if he dares to bully me, I’ll have someone deal with him."

Stella grinned widely.

Eleanor’s eyes crinkled with joy, genuinely happy for Stella.

"Tomorrow I’ll tell Xander that I’ve decided to be his girlfriend."

"Stella, congratulations."

Stella suddenly remembered something and leaned in close to Eleanor’s ear, whispering, "My dad said before graduation, he’s not allowed any other ideas. He’s secretly pursuing me, so you can’t tell my dad."

Eleanor was momentarily stunned, thinking that Xander must have felt insecure and wanted Stella to agree to make a move against The Hawthorne Family’s wishes.

Shortly after, a servant came out to call them in for dinner.

At the table, Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner were eating happily, while Eleanor and Stella were chatting and laughing, leaving Warren Hawthorne deeply moved by the scene.

Even after knowing that Eleanor was not Jeanette Jennings’s child, he had never thought of severing ties with her.

Perhaps sometimes pretending to know nothing also brings happiness.

After dinner, Eleanor took the two children back to the Faulkner Family, where Alaric Faulkner was already waiting for her in the room.

Eleanor glanced at Alaric and asked, "Is the issue with Grandpa settled?"

Alaric smiled slyly, "With me on the case, how could it not be solved?"

"Alright, I guess I should thank you." Eleanor hugged him and kissed his jaw to show her gratitude.

Unexpectedly, such a gesture ignited the man’s passion. His eyes darkened as he took control and led her towards the bed.

"Wait, I still have something to do." Eleanor hurriedly pushed him, "Ronan Keating is still in Aethelgard. I already messaged Yvette Ray, telling her not to go to the hospital yet."

Now Eleanor was trying to find ways to persuade Ronan Keating to bone marrow. She suggested, "I had someone make a fake grave; you find a way to let him know." This text is hosted at NoveIＦire.net

Eventually, she would have a strategy to make Ronan Keating agree.

"Yes, ma’am." Alaric was already distracted and leaned down to kiss her.

"And also..." Eleanor tried to say something more but was silenced by a kiss.

"Let’s talk about it later."
