Chapter 76 Eye Candy
After Sebastian lightly glanced at him, he gasped, "The customs seized our goods because someone reported they were prohibited items among them."
Sebastian looked at Eleanor and calmly said, "Look after Waylon at home. I'll go out."
Eleanor nodded and brightly smiled, "Don't worry. I will take good care of him."
Waylon was well-behaved, so it was easy to look after him. And she was the most beautiful mommy. She did not like Sebastian disturbing them when they were getting along.
This matter sounded troublesome, so she guessed he would not return until midnight.
Sebastian thought for a while and added, "Be careful. Don't go out."
He was still a little unnatural when looking at Eleanor. When he thought of what had happened last night, he felt embarrassed.
Eleanor instantly understood he feared someone was trying to entice him from home to harm his family.
"I understand."
Eleanor gave him a reassuring look. Meeting his unnatural gaze, she fought back her laughter and looked at him with a faint smile.
Seeing his, Sebastian showed a gloomy face, lowered his eyes, and let Christian wheel him out.
Easton immediately followed them out. He had seen the interaction between Sebastian and Eleanor but suspected he had seen it wrong!
He had seen Mr. Moore being shy! No! He must have seen it wrong!
Eleanor was full. She looked at Waylon and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"
Waylon shook his head and pursed his lips, looking satisfied. He was full.
"I don't want to eat more. But I want to go out for a walk."
He had overeaten because the food cooked by his mommy was too delicious.
Eleanor thought of Sebastian's reminder. The Moore family had many hidden talents, so she did not want to take the risk.
She softly said, "Let's walk around the house."
Waylon understood why his father had said such words when leaving. Although Michael and his family had moved out, there was still danger. In the big house of the Moore family, conspiracies and intrigues were endless.
Eleanor had made preparations when deciding to come to the Moore family so she would take things as they came. She had never been afraid of trouble these years. The more upset she had, the more she could learn.
Suddenly, the butler came in and said, "Ma'am, Madame Sophia came."
Sophia looked weak and didn't talk much. After marrying into the Moore family, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Her elder son was Dominic, her second son was Kayden, and her daughter was Willow.
Eleanor looked at the butler and said, "Please let her in."
The butler nodded, "Yes, ma'am."
Soon, Sophia walked in with Willow.
Sophia was wearing a blue cheongsam and looked gentle. Although she was not young, she was charming and dignified. Willow had the same temperament as her. She was fashionably dressed in a white dress like a blooming rose. She was noble and pretty. Her eyes were full of smiles but not clean.
Sophia asked with a smile, "Eleanor, did I disturb your meal with Waylon?"
Her tone sounded intimate, as if they had been friends for years.
Seeing Quinn, Willow looked gloomy and asked, "Quinn, why are you here?"
They seemed on bad terms.
Quinn was Arthur's daughter. She had been pretty since childhood and had good grades at school, so she was arrogant and overbearing.
"I'm here to see Uncle Sebastian's wife. Mind your own business!"
While speaking, Quinn looked at Eleanor with undisguised disdain and mockery in her eyes. She did not think such a humble woman deserved to be the hostess of the Moore family.
Meeting her contemptuous gaze, Eleanor remained indifferent.
"She's good-looking. But I don't think Uncle Sebastian would sleep with such an eye candy."
While speaking, Quinn arrogantly sat across from Eleanor.
Eleanor remained silent. These people had come as soon as Sebastian had left, so she decided to wait for the cat to jump.
Since Quin had said such arrogant words, she would make her kneel and beg for mercy later.
"Little bastard, is your stepmother nice to you? Stepmothers are all terrifying. If you die, she will be the prime suspect."
These people revealed their vicious true colors when Sebastian was not at home. They often insulted Waylon like this. He was angry but could only try to improve himself. When he became strong enough, he would deal with them individually.
He sullenly clenched his little fists and knew his mother would protect him today. He would no longer be as lonely and helpless as before.
Cold light flashed in Eleanor's eyes like lightning. She stared at Quinn, abruptly stood up, and walked toward her step by step.
