Eloise was taken aback, but before she could even respond, Monty who was standing next to her was giving her all sorts of signals with his eyes.
Everyone could tell that the young master took a liking towards Eloise.
If would be great if Eloise were to get close to him.
Eloise couldn’t do anything but to carry him again.
The young boy seemed very happy. He hugged her tightly and his eyes were shining.
Eloise looked at him in delight and walked out with him in her arms.
She thanked him when they left the room, “Dearie, thank you for helping me out.”
“No worries, it was just another hateful woman. I’m used to them, they are always bothering my dad.”
The young boy talked in a cutesy voice, but he still sounded indignant.
He was like a little adult.
Eloise thought it was funny, “How can you be used to it already? You’re still so young.”
The young boy sighed and said seriously, “Because my dad is really handsome. Those women buzz around him non-stop like flies, it was very annoying. But you are different, you are beautiful and gentle, I like you a lot. So…I will take you in!”
Eloise was so taken aback she almost tripped. She thought she was hearing things.
Take her in?
A boy about 4-5 years old wanted to take her in!
Eloise was dumbfounded, she thought to herself if the young boy really knew what he was saying. She didn’t mind him, she was going to put him down after they reached downstairs and go back to work.
But the young boy said cheerfully, “I’ll take your silence as a yes.”
Eloise chuckled, “Yes, of course.”
“Really? That’s great, then you should come home with me.”
The young boy smiled joyfully. His face turned pink because of the bliss and he looked even more adorable.
Eloise couldn’t help but want to gobble him up!
But she suppressed her urge, she replied to his ridiculous request, “Go home with you? There’s…no need for that, right?”
The young boy looked at her sternly, “But you agreed that I can take you in. Are you going against your word? My daddy said a liars’ nose grows.”
Eloise only then realized that he was totally serious, that he wasn’t joking at all.
But…this was way too weird.
How could he say something like “taking someone in” being a child he was?
What were the Rogers family teaching him?
They finally reached downstairs as they were talking.
A Rolls-Royce parked in front of the building.
The bodyguard went up to open the door politely, but the young boy was still hanging onto Eloise, waiting for her answer.
Eloise was appalled from his stares, she quickly said, “Dearie, let’s talk about this next time. I still need to get back to work and you should head home first. And about the matter about taking me in… Well, we’ll talk about it some other time, okay?”
“No, you already said yes and you shouldn’t break your promise,” said the young boy sternly.
