Chapter 214: Cedric’s dilemma
Ch-214
"She doesn’t know about this," Aiden said.
"I expected that," Cedric said.
"If she isn’t yours, then why do let her stay with you, and give your last name? You don’t even Eleanor’s mother," Cedric asked as he pointed the obvious fact that could be seen.
"Whether I love her mother or not, is not the point. The thing is... Eleanor is my stress-buster in the start. Later she turned into my life. And Eleanor’s mother was raped because of me. If I protected her well, that wouldn’t have happened. She wouldn’t have to deal with depression or faced that mental stress. I can’t leave my little angel with a mentally unstable person. I want Eleanor to grow up in a healthy environment," he said.
"So... you are saying rising Eleanor is redemption for you," Cedric concluded. It’s not a question but a statement. And Aiden’s silence gave him his answer.
"I got it. So, he is after Eleanor, now?" Cedric asked.
"Maybe," Aiden said.
"You know he was the one behind the downfall of Zora’s, and your son’s condition. And now he is after Eleanor too. You are doing nothing for it. Is it because you don’t care?" Cedric asked in disbelief. He couldn’t understand Aiden’s stance on this matter.
"It’s not that I don’t care. It’s that I am more helpless than you. If you can do nothing, what can I do to him? I am just waiting for Martin to wake up and take care of these things. He knew something about that man. He has an adopted daughter and a son. He knew how they look, and their names. But before he talked with me, he met with an accident." Aiden said with a sigh.
