Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 43

“Why?” Rupert was stunned. They had been doing fine so why weren’t they continuing with their relationship?

Could it be that his brother’s attractiveness had taken such a big dive? It looked like the situation had deteriorated to a severe extent that even Eloise wanted to break off relations with him. No wonder his brother’s temper had been so explosive today.

Hector pondered quietly for a moment and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and slowly said, “Perhaps it had something to do with her past.”

“Past?” Rupert frowned and asked, “What past?”

Hector related what had happened last night.

When Rupert heard it, he immediately stood up and said, “Bro, rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I’ll immediately investigate what happened to Eloise in the past.”

Rupert was about to leave when Hector prevented him and instructed, “No, you are not to investigate her without my approval.”

Rupert’s heart sank but he had already investigated her in the past. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Bro, actually I had already investigated her family background and past.”

Hector frowned.

“Actually there wasn’t any significant in her past, except that … six years ago she went missing for about a year. Very few people knew where she went during that year and what she did. At that time I thought nothing of it and didn’t go deeper into it.”

Hector’s eyes lit up. She was missing for a year? It looked like the issue that Eloise didn’t want to handle, was perhaps related to what happened during that year.

Hector didn’t say anything but Rupert continued, “Bro, although not many people know about this, it still can be found out if you want to.”

The Rogers family was influential and had a lot of means at their disposal. There was nothing that they couldn’t find out.

Hector’s expression deepened and said coldly, “No. Do not investigate.”

Rupert was stunned and did not dare to say anything after he noticed his expression.

“Okay, okay. As you wish.” He was very curious as to why his brother would not allow him to investigate when it looked like he was equally concerned about Eloise’s past.

If he could find out what was the problem, then wouldn’t they be able to work it out and perhaps reconcile?

Love was something that defied logic.

“If we don’t investigate, then what would happen between you and Eloise? Will you just continue to ignore each other?” Rupert carefully asked.

As Rupert said, he noticed Hector’s angry expression and immediately realized that he had made a mistake and apologized, “Bro, my bad. I have to leave as I have something on.”

After saying this, Rupert quickly left the office. He was worried that he might offend his heartbroken big brother. But at least now he knew why his brother was upset. When Rupert reached the door, he called Layla, “Layla, how was Eloise’s condition at work?”

Layla just saw Eloise in the office and reported, “Master Rupert, Miss Thompson looked the same as usual.”
