Chapter 38 - The Banter

Ch-37

"I guess… I am in love with you…" Eleanor's words stilled him making his hold on her tighter.

He never expected her to confess to him. He meant not in this place… in this situation… at this moment. This was a surprise to him. He raised his head to see someone firing fireworks in the sky. He remembered those who belong to the party organized by his company's annual party. A smile bloomed on his face. It's a new phase for his company and also in his life.

Hugging her tight he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her calming, addictive and his favorite and unique scent which his body yearned and his nose loved to smell.

At this moment, he felt he needed to come clean to her. He didn't know whether she used him or not, he didn't care whether she had a past or not. He didn't care if she was in a pit. Cedric didn't care if he had to clean the mess for her. He didn't care if some mud had been splashed on him because of her. All he cared was about her… only her and her people and things related to her. A pool of happiness surged in his heart. Only she has the power to mess with him and with his emotions. He was heartbroken years ago… but now she was fixing his broken heart without her knowledge in a cute yet seductive way. And what he could expect from his woman. She is the best woman in the world.

Raising his head, he looked at her, trying to calm his heart.

[Ahh… my stupid heart calms down. He was once your crush and you blurted out some gibberish. But… I don't regret it.]

'But… you should directly kiss him when you confess instead of hugging him. See you are boring as shit.' The devil version of Eleanor appeared in front of her with a readily disappointed expression on her face.

'Why?' Eleanor asked with a confused face.

'You were stupid! Seriously! I feel it's unfair. How did he keep your soul in this body? If I can, I would swap my soul in your body and bed him in one of the empty beds right here in this hospital not caring about the germs, bacteria, and medicine smell. I would just claim him and then crash into the civil affairs bureau with him to have a flash marriage just like how it's mentioned in romance novels and dramas. Aww….'

'Shut up! You stupid devil! Don't poison her innocent brain! Do what your heart says, honey.' The angel version of Eleanor.

'Hey! You white-winged imaginative creature! Just shut up! If not now! Then when will she learn!? I am teaching her goodies! When you can't do that Just Shut up!' The devil yelled as her eyes shined brightly in red color. Showing its evil-ill-perverted nature towards Cedric.

Eleanor didn't notice that Cedric was looking at her with an amused look in his eyes as he watched the different expressions on her face. He wondered what's going on in her brain. She looked like she was having a big fight with her angel and devil. He wanted to develop a device that can let others hear the mind voice of others.

He snapped his fingers in front of her face to get her attention. Eleanor who was seriously engrossed in the fight between her angel and devil version jolted back into reality.

Seriously! This woman is so disappointing. You even ignored this handsome piece of godly creation just to listen to our banter. I will kill you by pushing you into the cup of water! The devil version yelled at Eleanor as she felt injustice to this godly piece of her handsome idol.
