Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 164: He’s So Fierce, Don’t Hurt the Baby

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: He’s So Fierce, Don’t Hurt the Baby
Sebastian Ford encircled Eleanor Valerius with one arm, freeing up his left hand to stop Damian Lowell from grabbing her arm again.
"Lawyer Lowell, please let go. Our discussions on marriage are none of your business!"
Eleanor Valerius stood in the middle.
Sebastian Ford didn’t want to pull too hard and accidentally hurt her, so his large step forward brought him very close to Damian Lowell.
Eye to eye, sparks of anger were ready to ignite.
At this moment, Damian Lowell’s possessiveness was unprecedented, and he gripped her tightly, not letting go.
"Master Ford, do you hear what you’re saying? Legally, there’s no way the two of you can get married!"
"What does the law matter? Eleanor Valerius herself proposed to me!"
Sebastian Ford brought up the matter again, his voice full of irrationality as he practically gnashed his molars.
"Let me go..."
Eleanor Valerius was entirely confined in Sebastian Ford’s embrace.
Her struggle only prompted a more domineering and obstinate control from Sebastian Ford.
Damian Lowell refused to let go either, leaving her unable to break free from either side.
At this moment, the Ford Family bodyguards exchanged bewildered glances.
Did Miss Valerius really propose to Master Ford?
Even if there was no genetic relationship, a hidden romance and a public marriage are two different things.
Could Master Ford truly be crazy enough to ignore the family’s reputation and break taboos to marry Eleanor Valerius?
"Impossible!"
Damian Lowell refuted loudly, unwilling to believe.
"Ha, why don’t you ask her yourself?"
Eleanor Valerius’s forced marriage proposal was a mind game that enraged Sebastian Ford just yesterday.
Who would have thought he’d be using it now to boast and provoke Damian Lowell?
In the next moment, Sebastian Ford clutched her waist, issuing a threat-laden warning: "Eleanor Valerius, I don’t mind if you tell Lawyer Lowell how you proposed to me yesterday."
Barely breathing, Eleanor Valerius suddenly used force to push him away.
Her strength posed no threat to Sebastian Ford, and his steps only retreated a half-step.
However, Eleanor Valerius’s reaction stirred the malignant anger in Sebastian Ford’s eyes.
"About the marriage, what I said yesterday was offhanded. Why did Master Ford take it seriously? I don’t mind that you’ve already rejected me. I wouldn’t dare to hope again for the status of Mrs. Ford. Do you now regret it and want to marry me?"
Eleanor Valerius asked with a smile, but her eyes carried not the slightest hint of expectation, only mockery.
Keep your distance!
Otherwise, Sebastian Ford would discover the secret of her feelings and her pregnancy.
"Eleanor Valerius, are you using Lawyer Lowell to provoke me out of spite because I rejected you first?"
Sebastian Ford couldn’t stand Eleanor Valerius’s teasing ways without wanting to take responsibility.
The distance she maintained was the source of his loss of control.
At this point, even Damian Lowell couldn’t smile.
He frowned at Eleanor Valerius, unable to fathom that she would indeed propose marriage to Sebastian Ford.
"If that’s the case, could I then fulfill my wish to become Mrs. Ford?"
Eleanor Valerius intentionally used a reverse tactic.
Knowing full well that Sebastian Ford would never agree, his entanglement now was simply because he couldn’t stand being dumped by her.
"Come with me, and I’ll answer you."
Sebastian Ford couldn’t stand Damian Lowell’s involvement.
He reached out, but Eleanor Valerius sidestepped him.
"Master Ford, if you’re not sincere, then forget it."
Eleanor Valerius met the fury in Sebastian Ford’s eyes, her smile faded, and she responded calmly, "I’m meeting with Lawyer Lowell for business, and in my personal time, you can’t restrict me. I’m going home now, and it’s fine for Lawyer Lowell to take me."
This was the first time she’d actively chosen to go with Damian Lowell.
Even if it was just to the parking lot.
What Sebastian Ford saw was Eleanor Valerius’s rebellious heart!
"Let’s go."
Damian Lowell cautiously guarded against the Ford Family bodyguards as he accompanied Eleanor Valerius outside.
"One should have morals. Deceptive emotions may not be illegal, but they bring retribution."
Sebastian Ford coldly warned, exposing Damian Lowell’s closeness to Julia Ford.
It was because of his private relationship with Eleanor Valerius that he hadn’t let Julia Ford follow and make a scene.
Damian Lowell’s expression wavered slightly. He didn’t want Eleanor Valerius to know his sinister, deceitful side.
"Hmm, Master Ford is implying something about me."
Eleanor Valerius misunderstood.
It was she who first incited him and then deliberately fled.
It had nothing to do with Damian Lowell; it was just that she could no longer choose Sebastian Ford.
She couldn’t demand that he abandon his family to choose her, nor could she bear the price of being chosen by him.
Eleanor Valerius didn’t look back until she was in Damian Lowell’s car.
The feeling of her heart being confined was endless.
The car was silent.
However, Damian Lowell, a bit anxious, couldn’t help but speak, "Miss Valerius, if your relationship with Sebastian Ford is one of inequity and coercion, I can help you."
Knowing that she entertained thoughts of marrying Sebastian Ford had rattled him.
Surely she must have reached a dead end to want to use marriage to depend on Sebastian Ford and the Ford Family for protection.
"His status is both his strength and his weakness. If you want to break free..."
"Lawyer Lowell, I don’t wish to discuss personal matters."
Eleanor Valerius interrupted him.
Feeling guilty, she opted for an avoidance strategy.
...
Regina Jennings didn’t expect Eleanor Valerius to be brought back by Damian Lowell.
The words she was about to scold her with had to be swallowed for the moment.
"Eleanor, so you had an appointment with Lawyer Lowell."
Eleanor Valerius didn’t even want to entertain her with small talk.
"Mrs. Valerius, I just had a good conversation with Miss Valerius. I hope you won’t be upset."
Damian Lowell knew Eleanor’s dangerous situation in the Valerius Family and aimed to protect her and further hide her investigation into Mrs. Croft.
Once the revenge plan ended, he also intended to help Eleanor and Chloe break free from their adopted status in the Valerius Family.
Even if it meant taking legal action, it would be challenging, given Regina Jennings’ investments in raising her.
"No problem, it’s a good thing that Eleanor and Lawyer Lowell can become friends."
Regina Jennings’ smile was insincere.
Here they were, standing at the entrance of the Valerius Family villa talking.
None of them expected that Sebastian Ford, who had arrived early, would be so familiar with the place that he’d climb through the window into Eleanor Valerius’s bedroom.
The cunning wolf lies in wait for the unsuspecting fox.
After Damian Lowell left, Eleanor Valerius walked straight inside.
Her relationship with Regina Jennings had already fallen apart, leaving no need for pretense, only their true selves.
"You couldn’t help but seduce Lawyer Lowell? Never mind, I won’t stop you."
Regina Jennings folded her arms, walking behind Eleanor Valerius, and spoke with deep implication: "Ivy is already dead; even if things are in the past, you should smartly plan for your future. All the Valerius Family resources will be yours. Marrying into noble families won’t be difficult."
"However, I think Lawyer Lowell’s status isn’t high enough. With your looks and figure, you can find even richer, more powerful men."
Eleanor Valerius ignored her, walked upstairs, and pushed open her bedroom door.
Inside, the lights were off, leaving her vision in darkness.
In that moment, she keenly sensed the presence of Sebastian Ford.
Master Ford, that’s perverse! Hiding here to ambush her!
Eleanor Valerius quietly blocked the doorway, turned, and faced Regina Jennings. She provocatively asked, "Mother, in Aethelgard, how powerful and wealthy does someone need to be to suit me? Someone like Master Ford?"
"Are you mad?"
Even Regina Jennings wouldn’t dare think so.
"Don’t mess with the Ford Family. You’re not worthy, nor can you bear the consequences."
Though she might have thought about it, she dared not truly act on it.
A man like Sebastian Ford is someone Eleanor Valerius could never truly control.
"Who knows? I’m quite ambitious."
Eleanor Valerius just smiled, walked into the bedroom, casually closed the door, and locked it.
Suddenly, a tall figure approached in the darkness, warm breath falling upon her ear.
"Little fox, that remark just now was meant to seduce me, wasn’t it?"
Without waiting for Eleanor Valerius’s response, Sebastian Ford picked her up and threw her onto the bed.
Eleanor Valerius immediately struggled in refusal, but Sebastian Ford responded by fiercely kissing her lips.
He pinned her down, bending one long leg to press between her knees.
"Mmm..."
Eleanor Valerius felt a bit frightened.
No!
His aggressive approach might harm the baby!
