Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 40 Her Past

Eloise didn’t think that Josh would be so brazen. She instantly rejected him.

“Hector is a busy person, who am I to call him on a whim? You should think of another way yourself if

you want to meet him.”

Eloise then proceeded to open the car door.

But Josh snatched her handbag and took out her phone.

Eloise was furious, “What are you doing?”

Josh wasn’t going to believe Eloise’s words. Hector beat up Robbie because of her, she had to be

important to him. Though, he didn’t understand why the goddess of fortune smiled upon his wicked

child.

Eloise didn’t set a password on her phone. Josh easily gained access to her phone.

He pulled up the contact list and found Hector’s number. Josh immediately dialed the number.

“Give me back my phone!”

Eloise was angry, she reached out her hand and tried to get her phone back. But she was halted by the

bodyguards and she couldn’t stop Josh. She could only stare at him until the phone call went through.

Hector was going through some documents in his office. His phone rang and he was delighted seeing

that Eloise was calling him.

Hector was beaming when he picked up the call as Eloise seldom called him.

But the person on the phone wasn’t Eloise.

“Good day, Mr. Rogers. I am Eloise’s father, Josh Thompson.”

Hector frowned upon hearing him.

“Where’s Eloise?”

He sounded wintry but there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice that even Hector himself didn’t

notice.

Even though they were talking through the phone, Josh shivered hearing Hector’s frosty voice. He then

started to talk more respectfully.

“Eloise is in my car, we are planning to go out for a meal. Would I have the privilege to meet you, Mr. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Rogers?”

Hector then heard Eloise’s voice in the background.

“Hector, don’t mind him and continue with your work. I’ll deal with him myself.”

Josh glared at Eloise.

But how could Hector leave Eloise alone? He replied plainly, “Where?”

Josh didn’t think that Hector would agree to it so readily, he smiled as he told Hector the location of the

restaurant.

Eloise couldn’t do anything. She got into the car and went with Josh.

They got to the restaurant very quickly. Eloise followed Josh and they went into a private room that

Josh reserved.

Ela and Agnes were there too. They looked at Eloise with a hint of disdain.

“Hey, my dear sister. It’s so hard to even invite you to a meal recently!” said Agnes unnaturally.

Eloise ignored Agnes and sat down by the table. Suddenly, Josh asked, “When did you and Hector get

to know each other?”

Before they found out that she knew Hector, Josh had never talked so politely to her.

Eloise didn’t answer. She didn’t want to say anything about Hector.

Josh looked grisly, “Eloise, I’m talking to you!”

“Sorry, but I don’t want to answer your question.”

“You…” Josh was so mad he couldn’t say anything back.

After witnessing that, Agnes was going to say something to Eloise, but suddenly the door to the private

room opened.

Hector stood by the door in a black suit. His handsome face was expressionless, and he had an air of

aloofness around him. He strutted into the room like a king and the atmosphere in the room turned

frigid.

“Are…are you perhaps Mr. Rogers?”

Josh was the first one to say something. Hector had such a great aura surrounding him that made Josh

meek.

Apart from Eloise, everyone else in the room was stunned. They didn’t think that the person who was

protecting Eloise in the restaurant the other day was Hector.

Agnes couldn’t get a good look at Hector the last few times she saw him as things were quite chaotic.

But now that she got her chance, she noticed that Hector was extremely dignified. He was

unparalleled.

Agnes was green with envy.

On what ground?

On what ground did Eloise catch herself a man who was even better than Robbie?

Hector ignored Josh and glanced around the room. Eloise was there.

Her eyes were red, and she looked at Hector apologetically.

She didn’t want to drag him into this!

Josh snapped out of his trance and said chattily, “Hello Mr. Rogers, I am Josh Thompson. Please, have

a seat.”

He then pulled out the chair next to him.

But Hector walked past him and went straight to Eloise. He asked in a deep and magnetic voice, “Are

you okay?”

Eloise felt a stream of warmth flowing through her heart. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

Agnes saw it and she grasped her hand firmly. This bitch, she was a used rag. How did she get another

man’s attention?

Not to mention that the man was Hector Rogers, a man that many women would go frenzy over.

Eloise was totally unmatched!

Hector sat next to Eloise and he looked at Josh, his eyes dimmed and he asked directly “What

business do you possibly have with me, Mr. Thompson?”

Josh felt culpable, he said greasily, “Mr. Rogers, it was a bit chaotic the last time we met. Eloise didn’t

tell me and I didn’t know who you were. I’m so sorry about that.”

Eloise was disgusted by Josh’s two-facedness.

Hector knew what kind of person Josh was, he said indifferently, “Eloise didn’t need to tell you since

you have long abandoned her. Though I didn’t forget that you guys were cooperating with the Gardner

family last time and harassed her.”

He said it apathetically, but everyone in the room could hear the threatening tone in his voice.

Josh took a deep breath and smiled, “You’re pulling my leg, Mr. Rogers. Eloise is my daughter, how

could I harass her? There were just some misunderstandings and confusions going on.”

Hector didn’t reply, he just looked at Josh with disdain and contempt.

Josh felt meek, he tried to change the subject, “Oh right, Mr. Rogers. How did you get to know Eloise?

What kind of relationship do you guys…”

Eloise frowned, she said in a cold tone of voice, “Enough. It’s my business and you don’t have anything

to do with it.”

Agnes glared at Eloise peculiarly.

“Sister, why are you so agitated? We are your family and we will be happy for you if you get together

with Mr. Rogers! Especially when Mr. Rogers is a man of such esteem.”

She said that but deep inside she was filled with jealousy.

Hector was someone with high social standing.

If he really got together with Eloise, Agnes would lose her place in the family.

Ela also chimed in, “Eloise had a bad past. Though we would be totally happy for you guys if you didn’t

mind it, Mr. Rogers.”

Eloise’s face turned bleak, she knew what Ela was trying to say. If Hector were to find out…

Would he think that she was filthy? Would he chase her out of his mansion and never let her come

close to Solomon ever again?

For some reason, Eloise started to tremble with fear. She was afraid that she wouldn’t get to see

Solomon again, and that she wouldn’t get to see Hector ever again…

Hector read between the lines and couldn’t help but asked, “What past?”

Agnes was pleased seeing Eloise’s reaction, she knew that Hector didn’t know about Eloise’s past.

Agnes’s eyes smiled deviously, she said in a carefree-tone, “It wasn’t such a big deal. It’s just that a few

years ago, my sister carried a child for another person…”
