Chapter 1363
“How about this, come back with me, meet the family. After that, you can decide whether or not you
want to live with me.” Yates seemed to understand Eleanor’s hesitation and offered her a compromise
– an introduction to the Sharp family, a chance to feel the family’s
vibe.
“Your sister’s kid, too, could come and meet the family. Let her know her mother’s maiden name is
Sharp.”
After a moment of hesitation, Eleanor pushed away Yates hand, sitting upright and serious, “My sister’s
child belongs to the Ziegler family, the Hooper family. Her connection to the Sharp family is two
generations removed. There’s no need for her to meet the family yet, and as for me…” She paused,
furrowed her brow, then relaxed her features, “I can meet the family, but I have my own home. I won’t
live with you.”
Although she was currently at odds with Bernard, she had a home before him.
She had her own home, would have her own children in the future, and would naturally live with her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchildren and Nina. There was no need to fully rejoin the Sharp family.
Yates understood what Eleanor meant and didn’t press the issue further. For him, Eleanor agreeing to
meet the family was a good start, “Tomorrow then, I’ll have Peterson pick you up and we’ll go home
together.”
Eleanor didn’t say much, just nodded.
Yates stood up to leave, reminding Eleanor to rest well before he left.
Eleanor took the file bag from the table, handed it to Yates for him to take back.
He said those shares were prepared long ago by his son and grandson, they were what she and Nina
deserved. Indeed, in the file, besides Eleanor, there was Nina’s name. Yates was determined to make
amends.
Eleanor/watched Yates stooping silhouette, thinking he was right about one thing. He said if Pauline
hadn’t lied to him back then, he would have searched for Vanya no matter how far.
Yates… was not a good husband, but he was a good father. Eleanor agreed to meet the family
because of this.
She notified Hailey in advance that she was going to Canada. She’d be back right after meeting the
family, so the Sharp family wouldn’t bother her anymore.
Hailey had heard that Eleanor’s house was filled with things bought by the Sharp family, cluttering the
place. It was indeed annoying, so the sooner Eleanor met them, the better.
However, Hailey was a bit worried and wanted to go with Eleanor, but she was too far along in her
pregnancy to travel. Eleanor reassured her it’d only be a few days and she wouldn’t stay long in
Canada. She asked Hailey not to worry. As the women were discussing, Cedric had already arranged
for bodyguards to accompany Eleanor to Canada.
Hailey was finally reassured. Eleanor reminded Hailey to take care of herself, and said she’d pick up
Nina when she got back. Upon hearing this, Hailey quickly said, “Why not wait until Bernard comes
back, then take Nina? At least let him know.”
Hailey thought the two needed a medium for interaction, and Nina staying at Fiord Roundabout was the
best medium.
Eleanor understood Hailey’s implication, but didn’t reply directly. She just said they’d discuss it when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe got back, and they said goodnight and hung up.
The next day, Peterson arrived on time and arranged a business car to pick up Eleanor and her
bodyguards. Peterson couldn’t help but smile at the sight of so many bodyguards.
He didn’t say anything, just courteously took Eleanor’s small suitcase and opened the car door for her.
After Eleanor got into the car, Peterson drove them to the airport. The Sharp family had a private plane
ready with a planned route. They would depart as soon as it was time.
Upon their arrival in Canada, the Sharp family members were waiting at the airport, including Yates two
sons, all dressed in suits and standing straight.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces, Eleanor felt a headache, especially when Peterson informed her that they
were holding a ceremony for meeting the family.
Yates said it was not easy to find their lost child and naturally wanted everyone to know. So, they were
planning to host a dinner party. Besides the Sharp family members, they also invited people from the
North Funland aristocracy, and even considered inviting the media to announce her identity, but
Eleanor refused.
Yates dropped the media invitation, but insisted on the dinner party. Eleanor had no choice but to go
along with it, she just hoped it would end soon.
