Josh frowned after hearing Agnes' words and stated, "Anyway, let's call her back first."
Only when he saw Eloise would he be able to get it straight.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Agnes's face. She knew her father's character better than anyone else, and he always gave the utmost importance to his own interests.
If Eloise really had an entanglement with the Rogers brothers, then when the time came, her father would definitely find a way to get her back.
How could Agnes allow such a thing to happen? It was something she wouldn't allow. Everything in this home could only belong to her, including Robbie.
Back then, she had a hard time driving away Eloise, so she absolutely couldn't let her come back again.
…
Eloise slept peacefully all night in the villa. The next day, when she woke up, there was a hearty breakfast on the table.
Solomon blinked, looked at Eloise sitting next to him, and asked in his little boy's voice, "Miss Eloise, what are you going to do after breakfast? Can you take me out to play?"
Eloise looked at the gleam of anticipation in Solomon's eyes, though she couldn't bear to refuse him, she said softly, "Solomon, I have to go to work. If you miss me, you can call me anytime."
"Then will you come to me after work?"
Eloise naturally intended to return to her own place after work, but at that moment, Hector, who had no words all the way, suddenly said, "Miss Thompson, please move in with us at the villa!"
Eloise was eating her porridge and almost choked as soon as she heard Hector's words.
Sensing her surprise, Hector explained, "I'm afraid that the Gardner family won't give up so easily, and the place where you live now is no longer safe."
At these words, Eloise lowered her eyes, the incident yesterday still haunted her to this day. She naturally knew that the Gardner family wouldn't give up easily, and even the Thompsons would come for her.
"Thank you, Mr. Rogers. But it's okay, I'll find a new apartment after work and move out as soon as I can."
Hector had helped her so much, she didn't want to bother him again. Moreover, their relationship hadn't reached that level yet, so if she moved in…
Although Solomon didn't know what was going on, when he heard that Eloise was in danger, he immediately became anxious.
"Miss Eloise, please stay here! It's dangerous for you to be out there, and if I don't see you, I'll worry about you. When I worry about you, I'll get upset and I can't eat or sleep well."
Eloise was in a dilemma.
Hector saw her concern and said, "Even if you live outside, the Gardners may find you again. This is the safest place for you, and, with Solomon with you, you will be happier."
Eloise hesitated for a moment.
Hector was right. The Gardner family had power and influence, and no matter where she moved to, they were bound to find her. By the time, she would still have no peace of mind.
While Eloise's mind was still conflicted, Hector had already ordered the maid to help her pack her things.
LOL…She hadn't agreed to move here yet!
Why was this man so domineering?
Despite such a thought in her mind, Eloise knew she had no other choice and eventually compromised.
"Mr. Rogers, thank you, but I can't just stay here for no reason. Do you think this will work? Is it okay if I pay you rent every month, just like you rent me a room?"
Although the rent might be expensive, she would find a way to pay it.
"No, you don't have to worry about it, just stay here in peace."
Hector couldn't help but feel a little amused at how he could take her money! After a pause, he added, "It would be fine if you could spend more time with Solomon for me, he's very fond of you."
"I am also fond of Solomon, and it is only right that I accompany him, so you must accept the rent."
Hector gave in and eventually didn't say anything.
Then he handed Eloise a set of keys and told her, "This is the key to this villa, you can always ask the butler and the maids whenever you need anything in the future."
Eloise took the key, nodded, and said thank you to Hector.
