Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 183: I Admit It! The One I Love Is Master Ford

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: I Admit It! The One I Love Is Master Ford
Sebastian Ford candidly admitted he was jealous, but it was just an act.
He thought about how Eleanor Valerius had been avoiding him these past few days, staying with Damian Lowell.
Even now, holding her tightly in his arms, he felt it wasn’t enough to make up for it.
"I came to rescue you, so you need to have the awareness that being my lover means you can’t interact with other men, especially Damian Lowell. You just agreed to my terms, you wouldn’t want to burn bridges already, would you?"
"But Chloe isn’t safe yet."
In his embrace, Eleanor didn’t dare struggle, though her heart was elsewhere.
"I’ve handled everyone. There’s only one coward left who ran away, picking up the scraps for Damian to handle is hardly a challenge, is it?"
Sebastian coldly pressed on, "Don’t change the subject, you still haven’t answered me."
"So, Master Ford, what do you want me to do? I really won’t run away again."
Eleanor looked at him with innocent eyes.
Suddenly, Sebastian rubbed her lips with his thumb, softly suggesting, "Tell Damian Lowell you chose me because you love me deeply, and let him see you voluntarily kiss me to convince him you willingly returned to my side."
A kiss alone would suffice?
What kind of childish demonstration was this?
Eleanor sighed, carrying his baby inside her, wasn’t that the ultimate bragging right?
...
Chloe Valerius was waiting for Sebastian Ford to come rescue her again.
At this moment, the man in the mask was completely panicked, discarding all notion of his mission, focusing solely on escaping to save his own life.
He held Chloe hostage, glancing back constantly, unaware of the trap ahead.
Damian Lowell, unable to reach Eleanor, knew she was with Sebastian and would certainly come to save Chloe.
Tracking them to this point, the sound of gunfire reached him.
While sneaking around for an ambush, he didn’t see Sebastian or Eleanor but spotted Chloe.
At this time, Damian launched an attack on the masked man, easily overpowering him.
"Please don’t kill me!"
Chloe escaped from his grip, only to crouch on the ground crying out of fear.
Then, Damian crouched down, holding her shoulders, comforting the frightened Chloe gently, "Chloe, it’s all right now. Look at me, I’m Vincent."
"Vincent?"
Chloe lifted her head, seeing Damian’s handsome face, and immediately threw herself into his arms, whimpering.
"It was so scary. They thought I was my sister and captured me here, thank goodness you came to save me."
"Chloe, where is Eleanor? Is she okay?"
Damian was now more worried about Eleanor’s situation, being caught by Sebastian.
Upon hearing this, Chloe sobbed, unable to respond.
Even though she was the one who got captured, why were Master Ford and Vincent more concerned about her sister?
"Chloe!"
After convincing Sebastian, Eleanor hurried over to find Chloe already safe and sound.
"Are you hurt? You must have been terrified, it’s all my fault for dragging you into this."
As the sisters reunited, Damian’s gentle gaze lingered on Eleanor.
However, when he saw Sebastian following Eleanor, the confrontation in their eyes sparked tension.
Sebastian exuded a complete sense of ease, secure in the knowledge that Eleanor wouldn’t attempt to escape again.
However, when Eleanor was slightly closer to Damian, his eyes betrayed a dangerous possessiveness.
"Sister, I’m fine."
Chloe blinked her damp eyelashes, glancing bashfully between Sebastian and Vincent.
Still worried, Eleanor insisted, "You’ve had surgery before; we should go to the hospital to have you checked out."
"Eleanor, don’t you need a check-up too?"
Damian furrowed his brows, his concern understated.
Understanding his implication, Eleanor gently shook her head in refusal.
With the baby safe inside her, she certainly couldn’t do a prenatal check-up in front of Sebastian.
At that moment, Sebastian watched Eleanor and Damian intently, noticing they seemed to be having a coded conversation, his eyes narrowing in displeasure.
Eleanor was his now, and he intended to possess her entirely!
"Eleanor."
Eleanor immediately turned to face him, stating, "Master Ford, are you going to handle Mrs. Croft? I need to take Chloe back to the hospital for a check-up; I’ll fulfill all the promises I’ve made to you."
These words placated Sebastian, dissuading him from overtly confronting her.
However, it was Damian’s turn to frown.
What had Eleanor agreed to under Sebastian’s threats?
...
The hospital.
Eleanor accompanied her sister throughout the physical examinations.
Sebastian stood down the corridor, contacting Wayne Wainwright to deal with the Croft Family’s retaliation.
His gaze remained fixed on Damian, trying to approach Eleanor.
Maintaining a distance yet being closely observed.
Damian suddenly couldn’t understand Eleanor anymore.
"Chloe, I’ll wait for you right here."
Compared to the earlier tension of twice trying to escape today.
Eleanor, having given up, seemed more relaxed than ever.
Chloe nodded and headed toward the examination room.
Turning back, both Vincent and Master Ford were still watching her.
She felt like she was being cherished, all because of her status as the daughter of the Valerius Family’s fourth sister.
"I really don’t understand why my sister speaks ill of Mom; I don’t want to leave. I want to go back to the Valerius Family."
Chloe proactively called Regina Jennings.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital examination room, cleared by the Ford Family.
Eleanor took a deep breath, sensing Sebastian’s pressing gaze. Before Damian could ask, she answered, "I don’t want to run anymore. With things unsettled in Aethelgard, I can’t let Chloe suffer with me.
Master Ford promised not to restrict my freedom again. You don’t have to worry, just keep the baby a secret for me."
The two-month lover contract, Eleanor didn’t specify.
Damian furrowed his brow, his voice restrained, "Eleanor, what did you promise Sebastian Ford? If you’re worried about life outside Aethelgard with Chloe, I can help you..."
"I will plan everything anew. Thank you for everything."
Eleanor smiled, earnestly stating, "After settling the lawsuit with the Croft Family, I still need Lawyer Lowell to help me and Chloe sever ties with the Valerius Family’s adoption."
"But aren’t you afraid of what Sebastian Ford might do if you stay here..."
Damian couldn’t finish as his peripheral vision caught Sebastian striding toward them.
"I really want to go back to his side."
Without looking, Eleanor could feel Sebastian approaching.
"I can’t let go or give up; he means something different to me. Early on, I’ve confessed my love for him. So, against all odds, I choose to be with him."
To outside ears, it seemed she was answering Damian, but every word was meant to appease Sebastian.
Only Eleanor knew her true feelings lay within those words.
Sebastian came over just as the romantic confession was spoken.
He raised an eyebrow, fittingly wrapping an arm around Eleanor’s waist.
"You’re bold to say that to me."
Her declaration felt even more thrilling than a kiss—he thoroughly enjoyed it!
"Eleanor, you..."
Damian’s expression lost its composure as he tried to speak further.
But seeing Eleanor nestled in Sebastian’s arms, her hand gently caressing her belly.
He suddenly froze, his eyes deepening.
It must be Sebastian forcing her!
She couldn’t possibly love him; even if such feelings existed, the child inside her affected them.
Sneaking a glimpse of murderous intent, Damian’s eyes flared.
With Sebastian oblivious to Eleanor’s pregnancy, he had to find a way to ensure that this abomination never saw the light of day.
"I’ve made my choice; I want Master Ford."
Eleanor lifted her chin, her gaze filled with a smile as she looked at Sebastian.
Realizing that she didn’t need to display any intimate gestures to stir his heart.
He wanted to believe Eleanor’s words were the truth.
Who would believe the powerful Third Master Ford of Aethelgard was lacking in love?
Yet, why wouldn’t Eleanor love him?
If she didn’t love him, whom else could she possibly love?!
