Love Comes To Me
Chapter 170: Thank me with a lifetime

Eloise Thompson lay in the bathtub, her whole body buried in the water, a little chagrined at how she was going to get away from Hector Rogers at this rate.

This man, it was overwhelming. Eloise Thompson's mind was in turmoil and the thought that they would one day be separated and that he might marry another woman made Eloise Thompson's heart feel like a million ants, eating away at her, and it was hard.

After half a day of dilly-dallying and coming out of the shower, Hector Rogers had also taken a shower and, upon seeing Eloise Thompson, immediately told her to drink ginger soup to take the chill away and got a doctor to take Eloise Thompson's temperature to see if there was anything wrong with her.

Eloise Thompson felt that Hector Rogers was overdoing it and therefore couldn't help but laugh.

"I've rarely seen you so nervous!"

Hector Rogers looked at Eloise Thompson, because it was her, could he not be nervous himself?

He didn't want her to be in any danger, nor did he want anything to happen to her.

Handing the ginger soup to Eloise Thompson, Hector Rogers spoke up, "Remember me to let me know if you feel any discomfort."

Eloise Thompson nodded, nothing really happened to her, she just choked on some water and Hector Rogers made a big deal out of it.

After a bowl of ginger soup and a quick dip into the evening, Hector Rogers and Eloise Thompson took a walk after dinner.

The island was beautiful at night, with the stars in the sky and the sound of the waves in your ears, and apart from the accidental cramp in the water, Eloise Thompson felt quite relaxed on this day.

The two found a place to do so and Eloise Thompson spoke up, "Hector Rogers, thank you, you know? I haven't felt like this in a long time."

As a child, Eloise Thompson also travelled with her parents to the island, and at that time, the family was very happy and Eloise Thompson basically didn't experience any great worries until Agnes Thompson and her mother and daughter came along.

At that time, she thought she would be so happy all the time ...

Until the mother and daughter show up and are thrown out of the Thompson family, Eloise Thompson faces a variety of problems on a daily basis, and it is her mother who keeps her alive.

It wasn't until this man came along that Eloise Thompson felt as if her life had become different again.

As it is, it's a cozy feeling that Eloise Thompson hasn't experienced in a really long time, and if she could, she'd like the two of them to stay that way forever.

A faint smile curled the corners of Hector Rogers' mouth as the man's low, magnetic voice spoke, "Eloise Thompson, it will take a lifetime to thank me."

At these words, Eloise Thompson was stunned, for the rest of her life, I'm afraid it's impossible between them...

She didn't say anything; after all, she couldn't promise Hector Rogers anything, so she just smiled faintly.

The two chatted for a while longer, after which they went back to the cottage to rest.

...

On the other hand, Reeva Lawson woke up at the hotel early in the morning and went to look for Hector Rogers, but the knock on the door was ignored, the phone was switched off and she was out of touch.

Reeva Lawson couldn't help but frown slightly and just then the door to Eloise Thompson's hotel room was also opened and it was Linn Dail, her face looking quite anxious.

Linn Dail saw Reeva Lawson, hesitated, but came forward and asked, "Miss Reeva, have you seen Eloise?"

At these words, Reeva Lawson's frown deepened.

"Miss Eloise isn't at the hotel?"

Linn Dail nodded and spoke in a somewhat worried tone, "Yeah! I've been waiting for her in my room since I got back yesterday and fell asleep while I was waiting. I woke up early this morning to find that Eloise didn't seem to be back all night and my phone was switched off... something has happened to Eloise, hasn't it?"

With Hector Rogers also missing, Reeva Lawson's eyes sank slightly, and with a bad feeling in her heart, she ordered the hotel manager to investigate the surveillance.

The computer screen shows Eloise Thompson entering Hector Rogers' room after returning to the hotel.

Reeva Lawson's gaze sank at the sight of this scene.

Linn Dail's eyes couldn't be more surprised that Eloise was pulled into the room by Mr Hector! This this this

...

The two were not sure what they did in the room and after a while Hector Rogers dragged Eloise Thompson out of the hotel.

"Where has this... Mr Hector taken Eloise?" Linn Dail stammered, twisting her head around to look, only to find Reeva Lawson with a face that couldn't have been more grim.

Watching the two enter the lift arm in arm, Reeva Lawson's gaze could have killed Eloise Thompson, as she also noticed the box in her hand.

Although the image is a little blurry, Reeva Lawson recognises it as the brooch Hector Rogers bought at the mall today.

Reeva Lawson, at first expecting it to be for herself but it wasn't, tried to reassure herself that maybe it was for Matriarch Rogers, but to her surprise, it was really for Eloise Thompson and Reeva Lawson was shaking with anger. Ahhh, the bitch! Where did she go with Hector Rogers? Reeva Lawson was so angry she could have exploded, but could only wait patiently.

Linn Dail knew that Reeva Lawson, who was angry, was not to be messed with, so she went back to her hotel room to wait for news from Eloise Thompson.

...

Hector Rogers and Eloise Thompson switched their phones off once they got on the plane and it wasn't until bedtime that Eloise Thompson remembered Linn Dail in New York.

Eloise Thompson rushed to turn on her mobile phone and there were several missed calls, one of which was from Egbert Chumley and the others were from Linn Dail. Eloise Thompson called Linn Dail back in a hurry.

"Eloise, you finally bothered to contact me, where have you been? You know I was worried sick about you."

Listening to Linn Dail's grumbling on the other end of the line, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Sorry Linn Dail, I've got some things to do and I'm leaving the hotel first, so you can go back to your country tomorrow! There's no need to wait for me."

Linn Dail was relieved to know that Eloise Thompson was safe and sound. She knew that Eloise Thompson had left with Hector Rogers and although she was curious as to what they had been up to, Linn Dail didn't ask any more questions and they chatted for a few minutes before hanging up the phone.

On the other hand, Reeva Lawson also received a message from Hector Rogers telling her to go back first.

Having searched for him all day and waiting for such news, Reeva Lawson was furious and blue as Eloise Thompson, Hector Rogers had once again left her behind.

The two of them were probably having fun somewhere this day, and thinking about that scene really made Reeva Lawson want to break Eloise Thompson into pieces, all of which should have been hers, because of that bitch Eloise Thompson. Reeva Lawson tried to find them but had no idea where or what they were doing and had no choice but to return to the country itself.
