Chapter 72: Chess
Eleanor felt nervous as she climbed out of the car. She could feel her heart thudding against her ribcage as she took each step along with Cedric. Cedric walked along with her as he held the gifts in both of his hands. Eleanor was shocked to see him prepare the gifts for her family. When she inquired about the gifts, she got to know that he arranged for his men to buy gifts last night itself.
Why wasn’t she surprised?
"Let’s go in," Cedric said to her as she stood rooted in front of the enormous door. Only she knew that this was the most arduous and longest walk for her from the car to the door, in her whole life. Gulping down... she looked at him with a nervous smile.
"The person who should be nervous is me, not you. You got me, Let’s face it together," He said to her and walked forward.
Eleanor nodded and walked ahead with him. They saw Aiden Zora was pacing relentlessly as if he was going to die in a second.
Aiden Zora made his right hand into a fist and placed it into his open palm at his back. Sometimes, he would even mumble gibberish in himself.
Cedric: "..."
Now he understood where his woman got the habit of overthinking. He can’t say his future-father-in-law was cute but can say he loves her a lot.
"Dad!" Eleanor called him out when she saw him.
Cedric saw Aiden straightening his posture to look proper, prim, and sophisticated. He wanted to laugh at his actions but held it in, as he doesn’t want to disrespect his father-in-law. "Come here!" Aiden called to them.
