Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 96: The Lover Comes Knocking

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Lover Comes Knocking
Eleanor Valerius stood still without dodging, closing her eyes, already mentally prepared to receive the slap.
At this moment, the bedroom door behind her suddenly opened.
Sebastian Ford, quick as lightning, stopped Sophia Ford’s hand from striking her.
"Big sister, what are you doing in my house?"
He wore a dark blue bathrobe, standing tall and extraordinary, showing no signs of the injury from the previous night.
Fortunately, Eleanor had delayed just enough; otherwise, his injury might have been exposed.
Sophia looked suspiciously at Sebastian, who was defending Eleanor, and said sharply, "I just wanted to teach a lesson to a younger person who doesn’t understand the hierarchy. Sebastian, were you still sleeping? Then how could you agree to let Eleanor come here?
Ha, what rights do you have over a distant niece, giving her the audacity to block me!"
Suspected by Sophia of their relationship, Eleanor immediately tensed.
"Eldest Miss Ford, I’m sorry, I am here as Assistant Valerius to see Mr. Ford."
Sebastian stood right behind her, the slightly open door hiding their true lover’s relationship.
"Little beauty, why haven’t you come to keep me company yet?"
At that moment, Wayne Wainwright hurried over, and his playboy-like opening lines just happened to cover for them.
Eleanor immediately caught on and coquettishly said to him, "President Wainwright~ I’ll come keep you company after delivering breakfast to Mr. Ford."
"Eldest Miss Ford is also here? Is everything alright?"
Wayne walked over with large strides, signaling Eleanor with a wave.
Under Sophia’s suspicious gaze, Eleanor ran over to stand beside him, pretending to be in an ambiguous relationship.
Meanwhile, Wayne merely placed his hand lightly and casually on Eleanor’s shoulder, only to be pierced instantly by Sebastian’s dark and intense gaze!
"So, she’s here to accompany President Wainwright."
Sophia dismissed her suspicions but looked at Eleanor with even more disdain, saying, "I just didn’t expect President Wainwright to be so indiscriminate, haven’t you considered all the affair partners this woman has in Aethelgard? Don’t you mind the filth?"
She insulted Eleanor with particularly harsh words.
Because of the status hierarchy.
Eleanor could only silently endure, unable to retort back.
Sophia had her back to Sebastian, not seeing the fury rising in his eyes at that moment.
"She is my honored guest, so what airs are you putting on in front of me, big sister?"
Sebastian questioned dangerously, narrowing his eyes.
However, Sophia thought he was referring to Wayne as the honored guest and decided not to waste more time reprimanding Eleanor.
"Sebastian, big sister came to you hoping you could persuade Father. Julian knows he was wrong, he’s your nephew by blood, not an outsider, I hope you can forgive..."
"Julian Ford’s personal ethics are corrupt, lacking respect for hierarchy, and it’s right for Father to punish him according to family rules."
Sebastian coldly interrupted her, sarcastically ridiculing, "Instead of trying to throw your weight around with me, you should think about how to educate your son. I mind very much that Julian has tainted the reputation of the Ford Family."
"You..."
Sophia hadn’t expected Sebastian to speak so harshly.
At this moment, Eleanor’s eyes trembled slightly; she could hear Sebastian avenging her.
"Father’s decision is also my decision."
Sebastian, looking sombre, retreated and coldly chuckled, "If big sister wants Julian to avoid punishment from the Ford Family’s rules, he could change his surname to something else with your husband; as long as he is no longer a Ford, Father would naturally let him go."
Sophia heard it. He wanted to strip Julian of the Ford surname rights.
Absolutely not!
Her child staying in the Ford Family was a matter of status and honor.
"Sebastian, let’s pretend I never said that."
Sophia left, fuming.
Afterward, Wayne immediately raised his hands to explain, "Master Ford, I didn’t touch your person," and then he fled.
Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to get too close to Sebastian anymore.
"When I change houses, I won’t let anyone disturb us again!"
Sebastian was genuinely upset, disinfecting Eleanor’s right shoulder several times.
In the morning.
Mason Monroe delivered documents from the company for Master Ford to handle.
Due to Sebastian’s injuries needing rest, Eleanor stayed by his side the whole time to take care of him.
But in the afternoon, Regina Jennings called to inquire about her sudden disappearance from home.
"Master Ford, I need to go home."
Eleanor could only leave Sebastian’s side.
Returning to the Valerius Family.
She never thought that the guest Regina was entertaining would be Damian Lowell.
"Assistant Valerius, I have some business to discuss with you."
Damian smiled as he explained first.
Hearing this, Eleanor worried that Damian would mention her and Sebastian’s relationship in front of Regina.
She immediately responded, "Lawyer Lowell, shall we discuss it over tea?"
Regina was very satisfied with Eleanor’s utility.
Back then, she chose to adopt Eleanor and Chloe Valerius from the orphanage because of Eleanor’s beauty.
Beauty is a kind of capital.
In the garden.
Damian observed Eleanor as she brought over hot tea, his eyes assessing her situation.
"Miss Valerius, you didn’t go to the company today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Because he knew Sebastian hadn’t gone to the company.
The assassins arranged last night all lost contact. Sebastian might have been injured.
He didn’t know that Eleanor had been with Sebastian last night but speculated and worried about her safety.
"I’m fine, today’s a holiday."
Eleanor warily looked at him with a smile, "Lawyer Lowell, if it’s not particularly urgent business, I hope you can contact me first instead of coming directly to my house. A sense of propriety is the respect that should be maintained in a cooperative relationship."
Damian deliberately used the Valerius Family to pull her away from Sebastian’s side.
"Alright, I will contact you first next time; remember to pick up the phone."
Due to his representation of the Sinclair Family, Eleanor entertained him for quite a while before Damian was willing to leave.
For some reason, she felt a bit guilty.
Thinking of Sebastian’s possessive desire, she decided to proactively to him.
However, after sending the message, Sebastian didn’t reply.
"Did he not see it? Or is he angry?"
Eleanor couldn’t guess the answer, and Sebastian’s silence left her feeling uneasy.
Until, after dark.
She finally received Sebastian’s belated reply.
"Come to the gate to meet me."
Eleanor was shocked, her eyes wide open at this message.
In the next moment, she tiptoed downstairs and actually saw Sebastian’s figure at the Valerius Family’s gate.
How dare he walk through the main gate so blatantly?!
"Master Ford, there are surveillance cameras at the Valerius Family!"
"Taken care of."
Sebastian stood in place, his deep eyes fixed on her, and messaged her to remind, "Sneak me in."
So bold!
So exhilarating!
Eleanor’s heartbeat and breathing were fast and chaotic.
At this time, Regina was not at home, and the servants had already gone to rest.
Could she really sneak a man in and hide him... kind of seems possible?
But Eleanor didn’t have time to hesitate, running towards Sebastian.
Fingers interlocked, she furtively led him into the Valerius Family villa, hiding him in her bedroom.
The distance felt like it dragged on forever with each second.
She didn’t dare imagine, if a servant suddenly came out and caught her with Sebastian, it would be a disaster!
Only after locking the bedroom door did Eleanor dare to breathe heavily.
"Master Ford, you really took a big risk tonight."
She turned to look at him, unaware of how alluring she appeared with her heaving chest and flushed cheeks.
In truth, she was also frightened; how dare she!
Sebastian had come after a shower, immediately lying down on her pink-sheeted bed.
"I feared your lonely nights, so your lover is here for you to enjoy."
He lazily squinted, his voice hoarse and teasing.
At this moment, in Eleanor’s sight, he slowly untied the belt of his robe, revealing his perfect, unobstructed physique.
Eleanor abruptly held her breath.
Sebastian was seducing her!
