Chapter 54 - I Am Sorry (1/2)

Ch-53

*snap* *snap*

”What is going on in your mind?” Cedric asked her.

Eleanor came out of her dreamland when she heard someone snapping their fingers in front of her face. She didn't realize she went into a daze just like that.

”Nothing,” she said.

Cedric knew she was thinking something serious based on her frown. And if she was fighting with her angel, devil, or heart or brain she wouldn't be like this. She would change different expressions and so on.

”Cedric…” Eleanor started.

”Hmm?” he responded.

”Help me,” she stated.

”With?” he asked.

”Bankrupting Cole family by morning,” Eleanor stated.

”Why?” he asked.

”To take back my kindness,” she said with a sneer on her face.

Cedric smiled at her words. Indeed, since they don't want her kindness, there was no need for them to have the fruits of the labor of their brother and her father's hardwork and they shouldn't have the money she gave them.

Looks like the tigress, who slept inside her, was waking up.

”I will do it,” Cedric said to her, making her smile.

”And?” he asked.

Eleanor looked at him in shock. She only wanted to make Jessica's family suffer for some time before she started to play with Jacob. But Jacob played a huge part in her grievances. She knew if she wanted to play with him, she had to hold some power in her hands. She knew it would be a little hard for her. She decided to ask for help from Cedric after some time. Eleanor never thought he would catch her hesitation. Indeed he knew her better than anyone.

”How?” she asked him, feeling curious about how he caught her hesitation.

”You are frowning even after you asked me about Jessica,” he said, raising his thumb to soothe her brows.

When his thumb finger smoothened her brows she looked at him differently. She felt his finger was slightly warm and it felt like he could see all her worries in a glance.

”You look at me too much,” she pouted.
