Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 40

Eloise didn’t think that Josh would be so brazen. She instantly rejected him.

“Hector is a busy person, who am I to call him on a whim? You should think of another way yourself if you want to meet him.”

Eloise then proceeded to open the car door.

But Josh snatched her handbag and took out her phone.

Eloise was furious, “What are you doing?”

Josh wasn’t going to believe Eloise’s words. Hector beat up Robbie because of her, she had to be important to him. Though, he didn’t understand why the goddess of fortune smiled upon his wicked child.

Eloise didn’t set a password on her phone. Josh easily gained access to her phone.

He pulled up the contact list and found Hector’s number. Josh immediately dialed the number.

“Give me back my phone!”

Eloise was angry, she reached out her hand and tried to get her phone back. But she was halted by the bodyguards and she couldn’t stop Josh. She could only stare at him until the phone call went through.

Hector was going through some documents in his office. His phone rang and he was delighted seeing that Eloise was calling him.

Hector was beaming when he picked up the call as Eloise seldom called him.

But the person on the phone wasn’t Eloise.

“Good day, Mr. Rogers. I am Eloise’s father, Josh Thompson.”

Hector frowned upon hearing him.

“Where’s Eloise?”

He sounded wintry but there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice that even Hector himself didn’t notice.

Even though they were talking through the phone, Josh shivered hearing Hector’s frosty voice. He then started to talk more respectfully.

“Eloise is in my car, we are planning to go out for a meal. Would I have the privilege to meet you, Mr. Rogers?”

Hector then heard Eloise’s voice in the background.

“Hector, don’t mind him and continue with your work. I’ll deal with him myself.”

Josh glared at Eloise.

But how could Hector leave Eloise alone? He replied plainly, “Where?”

Josh didn’t think that Hector would agree to it so readily, he smiled as he told Hector the location of the restaurant.

Eloise couldn’t do anything. She got into the car and went with Josh.

They got to the restaurant very quickly. Eloise followed Josh and they went into a private room that Josh reserved.

Ela and Agnes were there too. They looked at Eloise with a hint of disdain.

“Hey, my dear sister. It’s so hard to even invite you to a meal recently!” said Agnes unnaturally.

Eloise ignored Agnes and sat down by the table. Suddenly, Josh asked, “When did you and Hector get to know each other?”

Before they found out that she knew Hector, Josh had never talked so politely to her.

Eloise didn’t answer. She didn’t want to say anything about Hector.

Josh looked grisly, “Eloise, I’m talking to you!”

“Sorry, but I don’t want to answer your question.”

“You…” Josh was so mad he couldn’t say anything back.

After witnessing that, Agnes was going to say something to Eloise, but suddenly the door to the private room opened.

Hector stood by the door in a black suit. His handsome face was expressionless, and he had an air of aloofness around him. He strutted into the room like a king and the atmosphere in the room turned frigid.

“Are…are you perhaps Mr. Rogers?”
