Chapter 111 - Angelic Brains Idea (1/2)

Ch-110

Cedric was so happy that he froze in his spot. And not only that he started overthinking about the facts that have happened over the years. He didn't even remember the presence of Eleanor, who was sitting in his lap as she continued to fiddle with her fingers.

Feeling restless she looked at him with a timid expression. She wanted to let him know that she wanted to get married in the presence of her brother. And she thought she did it in a good way but again… his silence was killing her.

Eleanor can understand how he was feeling. She knew he might want to tell everyone about his marriage and everything. But… she only has her brother and father. She doesn't want them to get hurt. She always dreamt of having her brother and father walking her through the aisle.

Biting her lips, she couldn't help but cry. Even though Cedric seemed to be lower in others' eyes and she seems to be super dominative the thing was… Cedric has control over many things.  But for her sake he lets her feel that the control was in her hands. she blinked away the tears that formed in her eyes and got up from his lap.

Cedric came to his senses when he felt moments in his lap. Only then he realized that he was silent for a long time and didn't even notice that Eleanor was waiting for his answer. What a fool was he?

He saw the sad and downcasted feelings on her face. He wanted to console her but… somehow he wanted to tell his true thoughts for some reason his mind asked him to ask her what happened to her.

”What happened?” Cedric asked.

Eleanor looked at him but she quickly averted her gaze from him. ”What happened?” he asked, pulling her into his lap and making her straddle him.

”Nothing,” she said, lowering her eyes.

”Say it,” he said.

She sighed and looked at him not before quickly averting her gaze from him. She continued to fiddle her fingers with him. ”I know you want everyone to know about our marriage. And even though I don't want to hide it, I just don't want a wedding. I want my brother to be at my wedding.

”I know I took advantage of you many times. I used it whenever I pleased. You said nothing but went along with it with the hope that I would say yes. But now I am saying yes, I am keeping many restrictions.

”I-I am sorry,” she said. She was on the verge of tears.

Cedric knew it was so bad of him but he wanted to tease her now.

”Don't bother. I just wanted to let the world know that you belong to me and I belong to you. But since you don't want it. It's fine,” Cedric said like a bullied puppy.

His lips were curving downwards as seconds passed and his eyes were glistening with tears.

[Sigh… Eleanor, what did you do?] Her heart asked her.
