Chapter 43 Meet Secretly
“Why?” Rupert was stunned. They had been doing fine so why weren’t they continuing with their
rtionship?
Could it be that his brother’s attractiveness had taken such a big dive? It looked like the situation had
deteriorated to a severe extent that even Eloise wanted to break off rtions with him. No wonder his
brother’s temper had been so explosive today.
Hector pondered quietly for a moment and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and slowly said,
“Perhaps it had something to do with her past.”
“Past?” Rupert frowned and asked, “What past?”
Hector rted what had happenedst night.
When Rupert heard it, he immediately stood up and said, “Bro, rest assured. Leave this matter to me.
I’ll immediately investigate what happened to Eloise in the past.”
Rupert was about to leave when Hector prevented him and instructed, “No, you are not to investigate
her without my approval.”
Rupert’s heart sank but he had already investigated her in the past. After hesitating for a moment, he
said, “Bro, actually I had already investigated her family background and past.”
Hector frowned.
“Actually there wasn’t any significant in her past, except that … six years ago she went missing for
about a year. Very few people knew where she went during that year and what she did. At that time I
thought nothing of it and didn’t go deeper into it.”
Hector’s eyes lit up. She was missing for a year? It looked like the issue that Eloise didn’t want to
handle, was perhaps rted to what happened during that year.
Hector didn’t say anything but Rupert continued, “Bro, although not many people know about this, it still
can be found out if you want to.”
The Rogers family was influential and had a lot of means at their disposal. There was nothing that they
couldn’t find out.
Hector’s expression deepened and said coldly, “No. Do not investigate.”
Rupert was stunned and did not dare to say anything after he noticed his expression.
“Okay, okay. As you wish.” He was very curious as to why his brother would not allow him to investigate
when it looked like he was equally concerned about Eloise’s past.
If he could find out what was the problem, then wouldn’t they be able to work it out and perhaps
reconcile?
Love was something that defied logic.
“If we don’t investigate, then what would happen between you and Eloise? Will you just continue to
ignore each other?” Rupert carefully asked.
As Rupert said, he noticed Hector’s angry expression and immediately realized that he had made a
mistake and apologized, “Bro, my bad. I have to leave as I have something on.”
After saying this, Rupert quickly left the office. He was worried that he might offend his heartbroken big
brother. But at least now he knew why his brother was upset. When Rupert reached the door, he called
La, “La, how was Eloise’s condition at work?”
La just saw Eloise in the office and reported, “Master Rupert, Miss Thompson looked the same as
usual.”
Same as usual…
Rupert did not give up and asked again, “How was her mood? Does she look upset?”
La was puzzled and said calmly, “No!”
On hearing this, Rupert hang up the call and scratched his head. How was it that Eloise appeared
normal while his elder brother was so angry? What else could he do now?
…
The next few days of Eloise’s were very calm and peaceful. She didn’t see Solomon or Hector. The
Thomson family and Gardner family members also didn’t look for her. What had happened seemed like
a dream. Eloise thought that her days would be like that from then on.
But today, after she finished work and arrived at her apartment lobby, a small body ran towards her,
“Miss Eloise!”
She was stunned when she heard a familiar voice. She looked at the little chap who hugged her leg
and her eyes started to turn red.
It was Solomon. Eloise was stunned for a while before she squatted down to look at the little fellow.
The little fellow was carrying a backpack and it looked like he just finished his sses. He was happy
and excited. He looked like he had lost some weight.
“Solomon, why are you here? Did your… daddy bring you here?” Solomon was here and could Hector
be here as well?
Eloise looked around and panicked for a moment.
Solomon shook his head and said, “No, daddy is very bad. He didn’t allow me to see Miss Eloise and
even threw me to my grandparents. I really miss you. Since Miss Eloise doesn’te to visit me, then
I’lle to visit you.” Solomon’s voice became determined as he said.
He held tightly onto Eloise’s neck and said softly, “Daddy said that Miss Eloise is very busy and won’t

be able to visit me in the future. I’m very sad when I heard that. Miss Eloise, I will not disturb you when
you work but can youe and visit me when you are free? Just spend a little time with me!”
Eloise''s heart ached when she heard Solomon’s tender voice. A sense of guilt rushed towards her
head. But she couldn’t soften her stance.
Although she couldn’t bear to, she still said, “Solomon, I’m sorry. I’m really busy recently. You should go
home quickly otherwise your family members will be worried.” Since they decided not to continue with
their rtionship, then she also should not see Solomon.
But Solomon took so much effort to see Miss Eloise and wouldn’t leave so easily. He held onto Eloise
tightly, “No, I won’t leave. Miss Eloise, don’t you miss me? Don’t you like me anymore…” The little boy
suddenly looked very dejected.
Eloise quickly exined, “No no no, how could that be? I keep thinking of you every day. I like Solomon
the most!”
Solomon was relieved. That was great. Eloise still liked him. He paused and then said again, “Then can
I stay with you?”
“No.” Eloise turned him down. If Solomon refused to leave, Hector would definitelye to look for
him. It was inevitable that they would meet when that happened. She was unable to see him at this
point in time.
On hearing, Solomon frowned and the tears in his eyes were about to flow. Eloise quickly said, “You
can stay for dinner but you must promise me that you will go home after dinner.”
“Okay okay, I promise Miss Eloise.” Solomon nodded happily. He quickly dragged Eloise upstairs as if
he was worried that she would change her mind the very next second.
Eloise was stumped as she had alreadypromised. So long as she didn’t see Hector, she could
meet up with Solomon secretly.
When the chauffeur saw them leaving, he gave a call to Hector and respectfully reported, “Mr. Rogers,
Master Solomon had left with Miss Thompson.”
