Love Comes To Me
Chapter 268: Taking Advantage of a Void

Since Eloise Thompson disappeared, Solomon has been sent to his grandparents' house by his dad.

"Uncle Junior, when is my mummy coming back?" Solomon hid in his room and called Rupert Rogers.

Rupert Rogers looked back at Josh Thompson in the back seat and said back, "Solomon be good, your mummy will be back soon." "Really? Little Uncle, don't lie to me."

"Little Uncle didn't lie to you."

"Then I'll begrudgingly trust you for once."

Rupert Rogers couldn't help but laugh at Solomon's words, "Solomon, my uncle has things to do, so I won't talk to you." "Bye-bye."

Solomon hung up the phone, thought about it with his phone, then found Eloise Thompson's number and dialled it.

"Sorry, the number you have called is temporarily unavailable ..."

Still can't get through!

Solomon drops his head in defeat.

It's been so long, how come Mummy's phone keeps ringing off the hook? Why is she so busy with her work?

When Mummy returns from this business trip, he must tell Daddy that Mummy is working too hard and that she needs to take some time off and spend time with him in the meantime. Solomon nodded vigorously, that's what he would say to Daddy when the time came.

"Solomon."

Hector's mother's voice came in from outside.

Solomon hurriedly put his phone away and ran out on his little short legs.

"Grandma, I'm here."

Hector's mother saw Solomon running out of the room and her brow furrowed, "Solomon, what are you doing in your room?"

"Nothing." Solomon shook his head.

When Solomon was sent here, Rupert Rogers specifically instructed him not to let his grandmother know about his mummy's business trip, otherwise she would introduce his aunt to daddy again. That's why he wouldn't tell his grandmother what he was doing in his room.

Hector's mother didn't ask too many questions and went up and took his hand, "Come on, let's go downstairs for a snack. We have strawberry cake, which you love today."

Solomon's eyes lit up when he heard about the strawberry cake, and he dragged Hector's mother's downstairs in a hurry.

...

Hector's mother looked at Solomon, who was eating happily, and asked suspiciously, "Solomon, you've been coming to Grandma and Grandpa for so many days, and you don't even miss that Auntie Eloise?"

He used to rush back to his house as soon as he came here, to get back to that Eloise Thompson, but this time, he stayed for so many days and didn't clamour for the woman. It's just too strange.

"Think so." Solomon looked up, his mouth all stuffed with cake and his cheeks puffed out in a cute way.

"So are you going back?"

"Don't." Solomon shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because Mummy's not here."

A child is a child after all, without a city, and is set up in a couple of minutes.

"Not in?" Hector's mother frowned.

Solomon then realised he had said it out loud and hurriedly said, "Mummy is busy at work and isn't home." Hector's mother didn't think it was that simple.

If it was just a busy day at work, Solomon wouldn't have stayed so long - after all, there's always time off.

But Solomon had a wary look on his face and Hector's mother knew she couldn't ask anything more.

She thought she hadn't seen her eldest son for a long time and it was time to see him and take care of him.

...

Hector Rogers arrived home from work on time and as soon as he entered the house, the butler whispered, "Young master, Madame and Miss Synnove are here." Miss Synnove?

Synnove Fare?

Hector Rogers, with a scowl, strides in.

"Synnove, I didn't expect you to be so good at your craft."

"Where, it's you who don't mind, Auntie."

"Of course I don't mind it, I even like it."

The sound of pleasant conversation came from the kitchen and Hector Rogers walked over.

"Mom."

At the sound of voices, the two men in the kitchen who were busy turned their heads at the same time.

"Hector," Hector's mother said, looking at him with delight.

And Synnove Fare, next to her, looked at him and bowed her head shyly, "Mr Hector."

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Hector Rogers looked at his mother with displeasure.

Synnove Fare's face was disappointed to see Hector Rogers not even look at him.

Hector's mother saw this and, not bothering to answer her son's question, pulled Synnove Fare to her and said, "Synnove is here to see you, so at least say hello.

Still not looking at Synnove Fare, Hector Rogers said directly to his mother, "Mum, if there's nothing else you can do, go back."

His attitude made Hector's mother angry, "Hector, what did I teach you when you were a child, that visitors are guests, you know? Do you have any manners at all?"

Synnove Fare was a bit angry at being ignored, but when she saw Hector's mother getting angry, she had to hold her temper and softly persuade him, "Auntie, Mr Hector must be tired after working all day, don't be angry with him." "It's Synnove you know what you're doing."

After Synnove Fare's persuasion, Hector's mother's anger subsided and she glared at Hector Rogers, "If you knew half as much as Synnove, I'd be relieved."

Hector Rogers was already in a bad mood, and now he was even worse, but he couldn't take it personally because he was his mother.

"I'm going upstairs."

Hector Rogers ignored them and turned to leave.

"Hector!" shouted Hector's mother in exasperation.

But Hector Rogers didn't listen and walked away without looking back.

"The boy!" Hector's mother was angry and helpless.

All she could do was turn to Synnove Fare and say, "I'm really sorry, Hector's got this temper, don't be mad at him."

Synnove Fare smiled, "Aunty, how could I be angry with Hector?"

"That's good." Hector's mother looked more and more pleased with her as she looked around and continued in a low voice, "Synnove, you should come to your auntie's place more often these days so that you can bond with Hector." "What are you talking about, Auntie?" Synnove Fare was shy.

Hector's mother smiled and patted her hand with a twinkle in her eye.

She had asked the maids and hadn't seen Eloise Thompson for some time, so it seemed that something had changed between Hector and Eloise Thompson.

In this case, Synnove can take advantage of the situation.

The smile on Hector's mother's face grew even bigger at the thought that she would have a daughter-in-law to be happy with.

...

"Mr Rupert, checked and Mr Josh didn't help Miss Eloise leave."

"Sure?" Rupert Rogers turned his head to look at his subordinate who had come over to report the results.

The subordinate nodded, "OK."

"Get out."

Once his subordinate was out, Rupert Rogers got up and walked over to the bound Josh Thompson, hands in his pockets, and leaned down to look at him, "You really didn't know my sister-in-law was missing?" Josh Thompson was on the verge of tears, "Mr Rupert, you can't just come to me when people are missing, I really don't know. Besides, didn't you have someone look into it? Just let me go."

Rupert Rogers straightened up and walked over to sit on a side sofa, his long legs folded and his eyes lifted, his cool gaze falling on Josh Thompson, "You're my sister-in-law's father, who am I looking for if not you?" "Father?" Josh Thompson snorted, "It's not like you don't know that Eloise doesn't even recognize me as her father, so how could she possibly ask me for help?"
