Chapter 110 - Marriage

Ch-109 

Eleanor started washing vegetables as Cedric cooked. She cut them the way he asked her to. Cedric was amazed by her knife skills. She cut the vegetables like a professional. 

"You cut like a professional," he couldn't help but comment when he saw her.

"Of course, don't you know her highness did Bachelor of Catering and Culinary Arts," Eleanor said with pride. 

Indeed! How could he forget that! 

"It slipped from my mind. Sorry,"  he said. 

"Don't bother. Everyone thinks that I am a business management graduate seeing the way I handle the work," she said with a sigh. 

"Yeah…. Did your brother teach you how to do business?" he asked. 

"Yeah. Even though our family business was good at a certain period… It faced too many losses. After my brother finished his studies, he used to work overtime. I used to ask him how to work intending to help as much as I can. Even though I wasn't any help, he still taught me. After seeing my brother teaching me, dad used to teach me too. But I never handled the business. I am handling it only after my brother fell unconscious," Eleanor said. 

"Hmmm…" Cedric hummed. He could see pride oozing from her eyes when he praised her knife skills. He can understand the pain she was going through. The pain of not being able to do the things they like stabs them. 

"If you want I will handle your company. You can pursue your career," Cedric said. 

"No!" Eleanor yelled. 

"Why?" Cedric asked, surprised at her sudden yell. 

"I promised my brother I will take care of the company till he wakes up," Eleanor said. 

"Sigh… okay. If you ever need help ask me, okay?" he said. 

"Okay. But I only want you to promise me something," Eleanor asked. 

"Yes?" he replied. 

"I want you not to be partial with the resort bidding," Eleanor said. 

"Even though… I value and respect relationships. Business is business. I won't involve feelings in it," he said. 

Eleanor took a spatula from the side and threw it on him. A nice bump formed on his forehead because of her hit. 

"Why?" Cedric asked exasperated. 

"When I called you for slot changes for the ppt presentation. You asked me if I wanted the project or not. Don't lie to me, Liar!" Eleanor said. 

Cedric scratched his head to remember if he had said that or not. Indeed, it looks like… he said. When the realization hit him, he turned into a stone before breaking down. 

"I am sorry. I forgot," he said. 

"COOK! I am done with cutting," Eleanor said and walked away. 

As she walked she could feel the pain between her thighs. She gritted her teeth as she cursed Cedric. 

Cedric: "..." 

[I should remember the things I said.] he thought to himself. 

Eleanor sat near the dining table as she waited for Cedric to serve the food. She was amazed when she tasted his cooking. Even though his cooking wasn't as great as his master's cooking and professional cooking. It could pass through the chefs from nearby restaurants. And some magical thing wants others to crave for his cooking. As the smell from the kitchen wafted her nose, she felt like literally flying there and eating the whole food. 

After nearly half an hour Cedric was done with cooking. It didn't look like breakfast but like a buffet. Eleanor slapped her forehead when she realized he didn't know the difference between breakfast and lunch. Anyways… She would be generous by finishing all the dishes. 

There were six dishes and a glass of juice for each. Eleanor started digging in her food the moment he served the dishes. She ate like someone would steal the food from her and there was no tomorrow. 

Cedric just smiled at her and had pancakes for his breakfast along with the juice. When Eleanor could no longer eat, he started eating the leftovers. Eleanor jumped onto Cedric and was engulfed in a tight hug. 

"When my brother wakes up. I will set up a restaurant with our names. I will be the chef at a restaurant, you be the chef at home," Eleanor said with a smile before giving him a smooching kiss on his cheek. 

"I will," Cedric said. 

"Baby is so sweet," she said with a big grin before giving him another kiss. 

"You said yes. Why don't we put that yes in action?" Cedric said after a few minutes of silence. 

Eleanor looked at him innocently as if she didn't understand him. 

"Let's get married," he said. 

"Hm… actually… I am thinking about it. I am fine in a living relationship with you for now. But as for marriage… It's only after my brother is awake. So… I spoke with Myna. She advised me to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding ceremony after my brother is awake," Eleanor said. 

"So… after thinking thoroughly… I felt she was right. We can get a certificate. As for the wedding, it needs to wait. If you are okay with it. You have to talk with my dad," Eleanor said as 

she fiddled with her fingers. 

Cedric almost wrote in his today's list that Eleanor would reject the idea of getting married. I mean at least for the time being. But he didn't expect her to give him a surprise. How would he mind when they can get married. As for the open wedding, it can be held any time. And… Cedric wanted to see his reaction to Martin when he woke up only to find his precious sister was stolen by him. 

Martin always treated his sister as a Kohinoor diamond. He never brought her to the friend's gathering. Despite having years of friendship… Martin was never the kind of person who would ask for help. Even when his company was facing crises, he never asked for help. That man's pride and arrogance have no limit. Only the sky is his limit. 

When he heard Jacob was cheating on Eleanor he decided to talk with Martin about this.. But before he could say the truth Martin got into an accident.
