"Do you need help?" Alaric Faulkner leaned lazily against the counter, looking at Eleanor Sterling and asking.
"No need, I can handle it myself." She glanced at the nearly organized herbs and said, "Thank you for tonight, let’s head back first."
Alaric Faulkner knew Eleanor Sterling was capable, so he didn’t say much. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI(F)ire.net
But as they were about to leave, he felt reluctant and said, "Won’t you give me a loving kiss?"
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Sterling’s face quietly flushed with a hint of red.
Damn, is this joke never going to end?
It’s all her fault for having a brain freeze back then, blurting out such words, which Alaric Faulkner now uses for teasing.
Too bad the man helped tonight, not taking a little interest would be unsatisfactory.
"Do you want me to give you a punch?" Eleanor Sterling sneered.
Alaric Faulkner chuckled lightly and indeed started walking towards Eleanor Sterling.
Eleanor Sterling was stunned, is he really coming?
But before she could react, Alaric Faulkner already tightened his grip on her slender waist, lowered his head and directly kissed her rosy lips.
As she struggled wanting to speak, he continued his strong advances until her mind was muddled and unable to think.
Breathlessly slumped in his arms, Eleanor Sterling felt secretly thrilled by testing forbidden waters deep down.
Their relationship was indeed somewhat furtive, couldn’t be seen publicly, and yet neither of them broke this delicate balance.
Eleanor Sterling couldn’t help but think if only she hadn’t tested Jasper Faulkner’s blood.
Then she could still deceive herself, but alas, dreams must eventually fade.
For the first time, she had thoughts of fleeing.
Since she’s uncontrollable, why not just leave after she paves the Faulkner Family’s path for Estelle Sterling?
Seeing Eleanor Sterling not speaking, Alaric Faulkner reached out, rubbed her slightly reddened lips, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Eleanor Sterling snorted coldly, "Thinking about how to get rid of you, you persistent adhesive."
Upon hearing this, Alaric Faulkner’s eyes instantly turned cold.
This lifetime he’s bound to Eleanor Sterling, she shouldn’t even think about it!
This woman has already gotten into his heart, seeped into his bones, making him, even knowing she is his brother’s woman, break moral boundaries to approach time and again.
He whispered in her ear, "Eldest Miss Sterling, you’ve already fallen into my trap, even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me, won’t let you escape."
Eleanor Sterling was speechless for quite a while.
She thought of something, then questioned aloud: "Hey, you can still kiss this face of mine, who do you replace me with every time?"
Alaric Faulkner chuckled, "Every part of you is deeply etched in my mind, no need to replace anyone, you are you."
Eleanor Sterling’s earlobes reddened.
Whoa, Alaric Faulkner is getting better at sweet-talking, what class did he enroll in? It’s too amazing.
After Eleanor Sterling returned to the dormitory, Stella Hawthorne’s eyes showed surprise.
"Eleanor, you finished organizing so quickly?"
Eleanor Sterling felt a bit guilty, of course she wasn’t alone, having had a free laborer, naturally the speed increased a lot.
"Yeah, I know some traditional medicine, so it’s not difficult for me."
Stella Hawthorne showed a face of ’I knew it’ and exclaimed: "I knew it! You’re amazing, actually knowing traditional medicine.
That Aaron Underwood even tested you on traditional medicine knowledge, he miscalculated, no wonder he embarrassed himself, hahaha..."
Eleanor Sterling curled her lips into a faint smile.
She didn’t intentionally show off, Aaron Underwood was the one who came knocking.
At the corner of the desk, Sylvia Jarvis heard their conversation, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
Eleanor Sterling knows traditional medicine?
Then she didn’t care, treated them as nonexistent, and opened her book again.
With Stella Hawthorne and Sylvia Jarvis finding nothing to talk about, after Eleanor Sterling returned, she again seemed like a little sparrow, chattering nonstop.
Even discussing boyfriends with her.
She talked about her boyfriend who ordered Summit Starlight delivery for Eleanor Sterling that day, full of envy and admiration, saying he treats Eleanor so well.
Eleanor Sterling felt awkward, seeing Stella Hawthorne’s enthusiastic expression, she couldn’t bear to tell her the truth.
If she directly told her she has a seven-year-old son, would she be frightened?
Hardly making a friend who treated her as a peer, Eleanor Sterling decided not to tell her for now.
On another day, with an opportunity, she’ll directly take her to see Estelle Sterling.
