Grayson Pierce and Eloise Caldwell novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Eloise pinched Grayson’s waist. “Narcissist!”

Grayson smirked. “Isn’t what I said true?”

“Yeah, I know you’re devoted. Let’s talk about Colton now,” Eloise said.

Grayson frowned.

He felt dismissed and was a bit annoyed.

But he still said, “Colton had a girlfriend in college, but it just didn’t work out and they broke up. He dated someone a few years back, but that only lasted about a month.”

“This time, he’s really into Juliette. He even chased her all the way to her workplace. I’ve never seen him so interested in a woman before.”

Grayson was just sharing his own thoughts. He couldn’t say for sure about anything else.

Eloise paused for a moment, then asked, “If Juliette really dates him, would the Morley family even approve?”

Grayson shrugged, “Mr. and Mrs. Morley are decent folks, but when it comes to Colton’s relationships, who knows?”

Eloise shot him a look. “So basically, you said nothing.”

”

Grayson grinned, “Well, at least you know Mr. and Mrs. Morley aren’t the unreasonable type.”

Eloise was surprised.

‘Well, since they’re reasonable people, they shouldn’t put Juliette on the spot in front of everyone, Eloise thought to herself.

Grayson put his phone down and brushed aside the messy strands of hair from her face, showing off her pretty little features.

“Don’t stress about Colton and Juliette,” he said. “Those two aren’t done with each other yet. They’ll keep going back and forth.”

Eloise grabbed his finger and nipped at it.

Grayson’s gaze turned smoldering.

“Are you trying to seduce me?” he asked, his voice low and teasing.

Eloise yanked her hand away. “Seduce you? Please. No matter what I do, you act like I’m trying to seduce you. Your mind’s always in the gutter.”

“So, what was that bite for?” Grayson quipped.

“I just felt like biting something.” Eloise shrugged.

“Looks like you’re itching for a lesson,” Grayson teased.

He flipped her over and pinned her beneath him.

Eloise pushed against his solid chest. “Grayson, seriously, I wasn’t trying to seduce you. Let me catch my breath, will you?”

Grayson locked eyes with her, heat simmering in his gaze. “Baby, if I say you’re seducing me, then that’s exactly what you’re doing.”

Eloise groaned, “Ugh, you’re impossible. Get off me.”

Grayson leaned in, his voice a seductive whisper in her ear. “Come on, baby, just once.”

‘Wasn’t it supposed to be just once?’ Eloise thought, totally defeated.

‘And now we’re already at round three!’

Eloise was nearly in tears, her voice barely a whisper as she complained, “Grayson, I’m sleeping in a different

room from now on…”

He’d got way too much energy.

Grayson’s voice dropped to a low, teasing rumble. “You said the wrong thing, baby. Now you need to be punished.”

Eloise was surprised.

‘Someone save me!’ Eloise cried out in her head.

Early in the morning, Vivian answered a call, her face turning stormy.

‘Eloise is Lorelei’s daughter?’ Vivian thought, her mind reeling.

‘Seriously? Isn’t that ironic? Lorelei’s daughter is now stealing the man my own daughter likes, Vivian sneered to herself.

‘An illegitimate daughter like her? How could she ever be good enough for the Pierce family?’ Vivian scoffed.

In the car, Vivian reminded Chloe, “When we get to the Pierce family, be on your best behavior and turn on

the charm.”

Chloe nodded excitedly. “Okay, Mom! But why the sudden change? Didn’t you say there was no chance of

getting Grayson to marry me?”

Vivian replied, “You like Grayson, and I’m your mom. Of course I want to give you a shot.”

“Thank you, Mom! I love you so much!” Chloe pouted sweetly, hugging her arm.

Hannah was a bit surprised when Vivian and Chloe unexpectedly dropped by.

After instructing the servants to serve coffee, Hannah glanced at Chloe and said, “Chloe, you’ve really grown up.”

Vivian smiled. “Time goes by so fast. The kids grow up, and we just get older.”

Hannah chuckled, “You’re still not as old as me, the old granny here.”

Chloe jumped in, “Hannah, you don’t look old at all! You’re still so full of energy.”

When the maid brought over the coffee, Chloe stood up, took a cup, and walked over to Hannah. “Have some coffee, Hannah.”

Hannah smiled, “You’re such a thoughtful girl. Whoever marries you will be really lucky.”

Chloe lowered her head, pretending to be shy. “Hannah, I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”

Hannah set her cup down. “You’re still young, no need to rush.”

Before Vivian could say anything, Chloe blurted out, “Hannah, I really like Grayson. Can you make Grayson marry me?”

Hannah was speechless.

Her face changed.

Vivian glared at Chloe, blaming her for being too pushy and taking matters into her own hands.

Chloe bit her lip, convinced she hadn’t done anything wrong.

‘If I don’t make a move, how am I supposed to win Grayson over?’ she thought.

Vivian quickly smiled and said, “Hannah, Chloe’s just so straightforward and honest. She doesn’t have any hidden tricks. Please don’t mind her.”

Hannah replied, “I don’t mind at all, but Chloe and Grayson just aren’t meant to be. Grayson already has a girlfriend.”

Vivian pretended not to know and asked, “So, which heiress is Grayson dating?”

Hannah replied, “Just a girl from an ordinary family.”

Vivian scoffed, “An ordinary girl? How could she possibly be good enough for Grayson? In our world, it’s all about matching status. You don’t even know her background, who her parents are, what her siblings do, what

kind of family she comes from. It’s way too risky.”

“If you ask me, Grayson should stick to girls from our own circle. At least then, you know exactly who you’re dealing with. It’s much safer.”

Hannah’s face darkened.

But she knew this was just how things worked in the elite circles. Everyone obsessed over family background and status. Vivian’s attitude was pretty typical.

She bit back her irritation and said, “The Pierce family doesn’t care about any of that. As long as Grayson is happy, that’s all that matters.”
