Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 87: Does It Hurt? Let Me Soothe You

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Does It Hurt? Let Me Soothe You
Eleanor Valerius reacted quickly, directly getting up and sitting in Sebastian Ford’s lap, acting coy towards him.
"It really hurts, I want my lover to comfort me."
"I can’t let you down then."
Sebastian lowered his head, pressed against her reddened palm, and gently blew on it.
After a while of blowing, he kissed down.
His soft, warm lips brushed against her skin, bringing a slight tingling sensation as if electrified.
Eleanor realized, her lover really did have a pain-relieving effect.
The car was still parked near the company building, with curious employees passing by and glancing at it.
Through the dark tinted car windows, the ambiguity inside flowed freely.
"Does it still hurt?"
"A little itchy now."
Eleanor snuggled into his embrace, not flustered at all.
Sebastian held her, playing with her fingers, his warm, low laughter falling by her ear.
"If I knew revenge required such hard work yourself, I might not have agreed because I couldn’t bear it."
"With Mr. Ford’s consent, I was able to get my revenge smoothly. I should be thanking you."
Eleanor tilted her head up willingly to offer him a kiss.
She would no longer break the game rules she had with Sebastian Ford.
In fact, Sebastian was very satisfied with this ambiguous relationship they had now.
He didn’t like scheming opportunists around him, nor did he like weak, clinging dependent women.
Even though Eleanor seemed easy to bully in front of him, she was smart and interesting; he preferred to possess a tender rose with thorns.
In the back seat of the van, only the sounds of their kissing lingered.
The driver in the front cabin was professional, not looking around or listening inappropriately, silently driving the car.
When Eleanor lay gasping on Sebastian’s shoulder, her eyes caught the view outside leading back to his villa, and she softly said, "Master Ford, I need to return to the Valerius Family tonight."
She was well aware that the tabloids’ exposed video was a second blow to her second sister.
"The Valerius Family isn’t like the company; do you want me to do anything for you?"
Sebastian’s gentle inquiry was quite tempting.
Something he could achieve with a word, she had to plan slowly over time.
However, Eleanor wouldn’t ask him for it anymore.
To gain is to give, and if she had to depend on Sebastian, it was no different than relying on Regina Jennings.
She wanted her heart to be free, not controlled by anyone, belonging only to herself.
"What I want to do..."
Eleanor glanced at the time on Sebastian’s watch, her gaze flirtatious as she said, "With Master Ford’s time capabilities, it seems insufficient."
She refused him, yet coaxed him.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, not angry at all, naturally responding with a laugh, "Little fox, don’t be too indulgent, go home and rest well."
It seemed that Master Ford’s facade of asceticism hadn’t crumbled.
Eleanor indulged him, yet feigned dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, I won’t be able to enjoy my lover’s service tonight."
Thank goodness that’s wonderful!
Sebastian admitted that he was quite taken by Eleanor’s way of coaxing him.
...
Back at the Valerius Family.
Eleanor hadn’t even stepped inside when she heard Ivy Valerius’s uncontrolled crying from the living room.
Worried, she rushed in, but seeing Aunt Campbell, Regina Jennings’s lackey, she had to act timid.
"What happened?"
She saw Ivy sitting in the corner of the sofa, crying bitterly.
"I just accidentally broke a worthless glass toy while checking things."
Aunt Campbell’s attitude was arrogant since she was also a trainer of the Valerius Family.
Now that Regina Jennings was busy grooming other girls, always coming and going early, Aunt Campbell took charge of monitoring and disciplining.
"What, do I still need to compensate you?"
"You can’t afford it at all!"
Ivy’s voice was hoarse and hysterical, holding the broken glass pieces with particular care.
Eleanor recognized it as a gift from her second sister’s first love.
Back then, she also struggled desperately, trying to escape the Valerius Family but failed.
In the end, to not implicate her first love’s entire family, she could only offer her body and stay by Regina Jennings’s side, forced to be a plaything.
Until she endured all the torment, this gift remained her most treasured sentiment.
"What will you use to compensate me..."
The broken gift mirrored the now scarred and battered Ivy.
As a child, Eleanor didn’t quite understand that everyone had their weakness; hers was Chloe’s illness.
"Second miss, even if I compensated you, it would be useless."
Aunt Campbell’s ugly face sneered, "You’re already known as a faded, ruinous flower; do you still dream of marrying in the future? Do you think that man will still wait for you and want you? This thing breaking is to tell you, your end is the same!"
Ivy’s hidden pain was cruelly torn open, and she immediately collapsed into sobs.
At that moment, Eleanor’s heartache brought tears to her eyes.
Fingernails digging into her palm, she struggled to contain her hatred for Aunt Campbell.
...
That night.
Eleanor covertly recorded Aunt Campbell’s phone conversation with family members.
She then deliberately made a noise, causing Aunt Campbell to discover her sneaky actions and follow closely behind her.
As Eleanor reached near the small dark room, she suddenly hid away.
"Where did she go? The third miss is also restless; once I catch her weak spot, I’ll tell Madame."
Aunt Campbell slowly searched nearby.
Suddenly, Eleanor appeared behind her and forcefully pushed her into the small dark room, locking the door.
The small dark room was full of bloody, terrifying things.
"Ah! Someone help, get me out of here!"
Aunt Campbell fell to the ground, screaming in horror.
But the small dark room was soundproof.
No matter how she banged the door or yelled for help inside, no one would hear it.
Eleanor avoided the surveillance and stood at the door, her voice cold, "How many times have you locked us in here from childhood to now? Now you’ll have to try it yourself, it’s tit for tat!"
Afterward, she went back to sleep.
It wasn’t until the next day.
Regina Jennings, upon waking up, still hadn’t seen Aunt Campbell.
The servants searched everywhere, and Ivy, with swollen eyes from crying, and Eleanor with an innocent expression, came downstairs too.
A moment later, the servants helped a pale-faced Aunt Campbell, frightened out of her wits, from the small dark room.
Aunt Campbell, legs weak, suddenly glared at Eleanor and complained, "Madame, last night the third miss was disobedient, and I was locked in the small dark room only because I followed her. She must have a guilty conscience for doing something against the Valerius Family!"
Facing Regina Jennings’s suspicious gaze, Eleanor expertly shed tears within three seconds.
"Mom, Aunt Campbell is twisting truths. I overheard her trying to steal something last night, so she framed me."
"You’re lying! I didn’t steal anything..."
Aunt Campbell’s retort was interrupted by Eleanor releasing the recorded conversation.
"Madame, I didn’t steal..."
Aunt Campbell knelt and crawled over, trying to explain, but a pair of jade earrings fell out of her pocket.
"Haven’t you siphoned off enough from the Valerius Family already? How dare you enter my room and steal things!"
Regina Jennings glared angrily, hurling a cup of hot coffee at her.
Aunt Campbell, caught red-handed, was embarrassingly chased out of the Valerius Family.
Ivy, shocked, glanced at a still-crying Eleanor.
Eleanor winked at her conspiratorially.
This trick worked wonders!
Following Sebastian Ford had truly taught her both serious and less serious tricks!
...
a.m.
Sebastian was preparing to go to a meeting in the real estate department.
The elevator door opened, and as he stepped out, Eleanor, ambushing behind the safety door, sprinted over to intercept him halfway.
"Mr. Ford, lend me three minutes!"
Eleanor forcefully and dominantly pulled Sebastian aside.
Mason Monroe: "?"
Mr. Ford, could you not cooperate so openly?
Sebastian’s eyes held laughter, as he allowed himself to be led by Eleanor behind the safety door, outside of the surveillance range.
"In broad daylight, what does Assistant Valerius plan to do to me in the office?"
Suddenly, Eleanor threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I missed you, I want a secret tryst with you."
"Don’t do anything rash."
Sebastian lazily squinted, his expression full of expectancy.
