Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 12 Not Picky About Food

Eloise thought about it for a moment and felt that it was impossible.

Who was Hector? He was the president of the Rogers Group and a celebrity! How could he have come

to pick her up himself?

Maybe he meant to wait for her at home.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Eloise dared not delay, so she

hurriedly packed her things and went downstairs to get a taxi.

It was still early and there were a lot of cars on the street. But she didn't know what was going on

tonight. She waited for a long time without seeing an empty car pass by.

Just as she was anxious, a black Bentley quietly pulled up beside her.

Then the window slid down to reveal two faces, one large and one small.

The two faces were as exquisite and perfect as if they were enlarged and reduced versions.

The big man was like a god, and the little boy was cute. At this moment, the little boy was holding out

his two short, fat hands and greeting her excitedly, "Miss Eloise, we're here to pick you up."

Eloise was flattered. She hurriedly took a few steps forward to hold his little hand. And looking slowly at

the man in the car, she said, "Mr. Rogers, you don’t have to come here yourself? I can just go back

myself."

"No matter. Get in the car first."

Hector loosened his tie and moved in.

Eloise hesitated for a moment but got into the car.

She hadn't really thought that Hector would come!

Once in the car, Solomon immediately rubbed up against her leg and asked for a hug.

Eloise was happy to do so and took him in her arms. Solomon's body was so soft.

Hector rolled up his cuffs gracefully and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Eloise responded casually, and then she was startled, "What about you guys? Have you

eaten?"

When she got busy with work, she often forgot to eat. She was worried that Solomon was going hungry

along with her.

Hector seemed to be able to read her thoughts and said, "Solomon ate the bread. I haven't eaten."

"That's good." Eloise sighed with relief and then felt a little apologetic, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Solomon's not hungry."

Solomon nuzzled into her arms docilely.

Eloise was amused by him and rubbed his head.

Hector watched the two interact and wondered. A ripple of warmth rose in his eyes, which were always

cold.

He said in a soft voice, "I've booked a table at the restaurant. Let's eat out tonight."

"Sorry, I..."

Eloise was a little hesitant and had an indescribably eerie feeling in her heart.

How this gave her the feeling that they were family!

Hector, however, affirmed, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Solomon and I have been

bothering you for two days. It is just a meal to show my gratitude."

As they spoke, the car had arrived in front of a Chinese restaurant.

Eloise got down with Solomon in her arms and saw the signboard of the restaurant, 'Belvedere'.

The name was really famous.

It was one of City J's most famous restaurants, with its elegant landscaping, old-fashioned loft, and

excellent food. It was featured in every major food magazine in China. It was said that one had to book

a seat two months in advance to eat here.

In the past, Eloise would never have been able to afford a meal at a place like this.

But now she benefited from association with them.

The three of them entered the restaurant side by side. The waiter greeted them and led them to the VIP

room.

There were menus on the table and Hector asked Eloise, "Is there anything you don't eat?"

Eloise shook her head, "No, I can eat anything."

She was not picky about food!

Hector smiled slightly, "I'll just order whatever I want then."

He looked at the menu and ordered four dishes. It was just enough for them to eat. Even if they

couldn't finish it, it wasn't too much of a waste.

While they waited for their food, Hector sat still and didn't say anything.

Eloise and Solomon were chatting. So she didn’t feel awkward.

When the food was served, Hector suddenly said, "Are you always so busy?"

Eloise responded, "No, not really. I used to be a handyman and wasn't busy at all. This time, I got this

project out of the blue and I'm just a bit busy." She paused and said, “I’d like to thank you for giving me

this opportunity."

Hector said, "There's nothing to thank me for, and it wasn't me who gave you the opportunity. It was

Solomon who picked you."

"Is that so?" Eloise was suspicious. She didn't seem to believe much of what he said.

Hector took a sip of his tea and said gracefully, "Of course."

Eloise blinked and accepted that naturally.

It made no difference whether it was him, or Solomon, anyway.

Still, she felt warm inside and was even more determined to make this birthday party a success.

Later in the evening, after dinner, the three of them left the restaurant together.

Solomon was afraid of being dragged home again, so he put his arms tightly around Eloise's legs and

hid behind her, looking at his dad warily.

Hector was amused by him, so he said to Eloise, "Come on. I'll walk you back." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Eloise gave him a suspicious look and wondered if he wanted to stay again.

Hector caught a glimpse of her look out of the corner of his eye. A glint of playfulness flashed across

his eyes as he said, "Don't worry, I have something to do tonight, so I won't bother you."

Hearing what he said, Eloise blushed and looked embarrassed.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Hector's face as he opened the car door for Eloise.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Flower Community. And after Eloise had returned home with

Solomon in her arms, Hector left again.

Hector drove the car all the way back to Royal Villa.

This was the most famous villa area in City J, and all the people who lived here were rich and famous.

After parking the car in the garage, Hector went straight into the house.

When the butler saw him, he hurried forward to take his coat, "Mr. Rogers, you're back."

"Yes." Hector nodded as he changed his shoes.

Just as he had finished changing, he heard urgent footsteps from inside and then saw Rupert running

out with a middle-aged noblewoman in a cheongsam.

"Brother, why are you so late?" Rupert asked casually.

But the lady didn't even look at him. She looked around him before asking, "Where's Solomon? Why

didn't he come back with you?"

Hector frowned at her, "Why are you back early? I thought Dad said you wouldn't be here for a couple

of days."

The noblewoman said impatiently, "I couldn't wait. I missed Solomon so much. Where is he? Where

have you got him?"

"Yes, brother, where is Solomon? You didn't lose him, did you? Dad and Mum went straight here as

soon as they got off the plane and they haven't even come back to the mansion yet." Rupert also asked

in confusion.

Rupert said calmly, "He's staying at my friend's house ..."

"What? You put Solomon up at your friend's house? Which friend? How can that be? Solomon doesn't

like strangers. What if he cries in the middle of the night when he sleeps?"

The noblewoman ..., also known as Matriarch Rogers, was furious when she heard this, "You brat. Are

you still his father? You're too careless! Hurry up and go get Solomon back."

Rupert also thought his mother had a point. He immediately agreed, "That's right, brother. How can you

leave Solomon out there? He's so cute. What if he gets abducted?"

Hearing them talking, Patriarch Rogers also came out and heard Rupert's words. He froze for a

moment and asked, "What's going on? Is that friend of yours a man or a woman?"

"..."

Hector pinched his brow with a headache and said, "A woman!"
