Hailey seemed to see what Eleanor was thinking from the look in her eyes, and her own eyes started to well up with tears.They were both orphans, and the one thing they craved the most growing up was a home to call their own. Eleanor had waited many years for this home, and now that she finally had it, she had to make the most of it. Hailey sent Eleanor the best wishes and used her phone to capture this significant moment of Eleanor stepping into happiness.The Laurences were all around them, egging them on for another kiss. "Smooch! Smooch!"Eleanor blushed, while Bernard shot the Laurences a glance.
When that unfathomable expression passed over their faces, the Laurences automatically shut their mouths.Until his gaze landed on the most boisterous one, Cedric...Cedric was in for it now!
Cedric received that look and turned to leave, but then he heard a chilling voice from behind."Cedric, you're going to Africa for work tomorrow."
"Come on, Africa again? Can I go somewhere else? Or can we discuss this?
""No discussion."
With that, Bernard harshly picked up Eleanor in a bridal carry and walked away. As Eleanor nestled in Bernard's arms, she looked back at the Laurences sheepishly."Why are you sending Cedric to Africa?"
"He's asking for it."
