Hector calmly replied and then instructed, “Pick Solomon up after they finish dinner.”
“Yes, Mr. Rogers.”
Once the call ended, Rupert was beside Hector and joked, “Tsk tsk, bro, you’re ruthless to even utilize your only son.”
His brother didn’t do anything these few days and Rupert was worried that he would accept the situation… now it looked like he had been worried for nothing.
Hector didn’t say anything. How could he accept that Eloise and he really ended their relationship?
“Bro, just look at how important Solomon is to Eloise! You… you must increase your efforts!” Rupert continued to risk his head by pestering.
Hector looked coldly at Rupert and said, “You don’t wish to have your three-month break anymore?”
Rupert sat up straight with surprise and quickly waved his hands, “No no no, bro, I’m kidding. You are the most important in Eloise’s heart.”
“Piss off!” Hector fumed.
“Okay, bro, I won’t bother you anymore.” Rupert took his jacket and stood up from the sofa. He then paused as if he thought of something.
“Oh yes, bro, do dad and mom know that you asked the driver to send Solomon to Eloise’s place?” Solomon had been staying with Patriarch and Matriarch Rogers these few days.
As he said, someone rushed over to the room.
“Hector, where’s Solomon? Why hasn’t he come back from school? Is he here at your place?” Patriarch and Matriarch Rogers came to look for Solomon. Both of them waited a long time for Solomon but didn’t see him come back and went to look for him at Hector’s villa.
Hector frowned as he had forgotten to take his parents into consideration.
Matriarch Rogers looked around the villa and asked with worry, “I didn’t see him around. Is he in the room?” As she said, Matriarch Rogers started to walk to his room.
Hector said, “Mom, Solomon isn’t here.”
“Ah? He’s not here? Then where is he? It is so long after school had ended. The driver also isn’t answering his phone. Could something have happened to him?” Matriarch Rogers was very anxious and was close to calling the police.
Hector quickly assured her, “Dad, Mom, Solomon is at my friend’s place. He is safe. Please don’t worry. The driver will send him back afterward.”
Matriarch Rogers was relieved when she heard that.
Hang on… friend?
She raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, “Was it that female friend of yours? How are you two progressing? When will you bring her back for us to meet her?” Towards the end, Matriarch Rogers’ eyes lit up as she was hopeful that she would have a daughter-in-law soon.
Rupert pursed his lips and remained silent. What stage had they progressed to? To the break-off stage…
“You boy, can’t you say something?” Matriarch Rogers became anxious when Hector didn’t reply to her.
Patriarch Rogers joined in the conversation, “Why are you here when Solomon is there? Why don’t you send someone to bring them back for your mother and I to have a look?”
“Yes, yes. How does my daughter-in-law look like? She must be very pretty for my son and grandson to like her so much. Quickly call the driver…”
Patriarch Rogers continued, “Yes, if you really like her, then quickly bring her back for us to meet her.”
Rupert leaned back on the sofa and looked with amusement and laughed, “Dad, Mom, don’t pester him. This daughter-in-law had escaped. Solomon is now trying his best to help my brother retain her!”
Hector glared coldly at Rupert.
