Cedric fell into a deep thought after processing his father's words. Indeed, Regan was right. Communication and respect for each other was important for any relationship. But that was the thing they lacked in their relationship.
He did many things that disappointed her. The most latest thing was… kidnapping her.
Can he redeem his sins?
There were more than one sin that he committed against her. How could he redeem them?
He walked to his room disappointedly. He was clueless of what to do from now on. Cedric wondered if there was actually a way to redeem his sins and make a place in Eleanor's heart.
Suddenly, his phone rang with Oliver's number, furrowing his brows he picked it.

On the the other hand….
"Eleanor, do you know… My dad will be here in a month. He said there is a deal next month, to deal with it, he has to come here. So when he was here, he would be visiting Valene," Myna said chirpily.
"Do you know… my dad would be coming this afternoon!" Eleanor said. Hmph! Even she has a father, she can boast too!
"Ayya…Okay baba," Myna said.
"By the way, When are you going back to your home?" Eleanor asked.
"After my mariage," Myna said.
"That wouldn't be your home any longer then," Eleanor said.
"That was the very reason I don't want to go there," Myna said.
"You are still angry? He is your brother," Eleanor said.
"That doesn't change the fact that I am adopted," Myna said.
"You have to get out of it," Eleanor said.
"Every day, when I see your green eyes, I remember his green eyes. A pair of green eyes haunt me while a pair of green eyes loves me. What Can I do?" Myna said.
"Myna, did he hurt you when he revealed the truth?" Eleanor said.
"In fact, the truth is… he loved me unconditionally. It's just that I couldn't handle their love. So, I ran away. He found me after I came here. I was only fourteen at that time, a lot more sensitive than now. But I had to hold it in. I often dreamt that he and my adopted parents would throw me out. That scared me. But as days passed… they loved equally. But… still they aren't my parents. I am indebted. Again, It doesn't change the fact that I regret leaving them. If I can, I want to go back and live with them.
"Now… I have no right. I broke the rights I have. Nevertheless…. I am still happy because my dad would be coming here. I asked if my mother would come or not. Let's hope she would come. And brother would come when I call him myself. So, since dad is coming. I will be glad if everyone is here!
"How about we celebrate this!?" Myna asked all of a sudden.
Eleanor was in deep thought. She was feeling all these things that Myna was feeling. She was confused too. Can she accept the kindness that Zora showered her with?
"If you want to go back, then why do you want to go back after your marriage?" Eleanor asked.
"The trauma that I have build in myself continuously is saying me that it isn't my house. My parents adopted me because they lost their only daughter. They treated me as her replacement. I never wanted to be a replacement. And when i enter that place, every inch reminds me that I am living the luxury that isn't supposed to me.
"If they had adopted me not treating as the replacement of their lost daughter, I would have lived and took a stupid decision like this," Myna said.
"If they don't have a daughter, and adopted you and loved you. Would you have left them back then?" Eleanor asked. This question isn't for her but for herself. She wanted an answer for this very badly.
If her answer was a yes, then she would leave this place with no remorse or anything. But now… for some reason after her chat with Nathaira this morning, she was having other thoughts. She doesn't need to leave for the sake of Cedric. She just needs to maintain her distance with him. And she knew how powerful he was, he could get her address even if she escaped to the another verse.
"No, I won't. Everyone deserved to be loved. Even I. And they took me in, because they want to get loved by me." Myna said.
Eleanor has to agree that Myna was right. The more she thought about the more she realized how stupid and silly she was. She took her phone and messaged Juke to cancel making the arrangements for her departing. After she was done messaging, she sat in her position without moving.
"Eleanor?" Myna called her seeing her sitting in a trance.
"How about we go for a celebration?" Eleanor asked. Indeed this calls for a celebration. She has got answers for many of her questions.
"Yesh! Shall we call your doctor friend from Emerson's hospital, Tiffany. The poor girl needs some rest too," Eleanor said.
"Indeed, I wonder how she was coping with Mason's temper," Myna said.
"How about we call Nathaira too? Hmm?" Myna asked.
"Why?" Eleanor asked.
"Because, whatever she did… it's all because of love. When got her clarifications, she left you alone and going to start a fresh. And you… will be start living a new life too. Like you, she doesn't even have a good friend. Let's call her and bid a goodbye to her during the meal. What do you think?" Myna said. She hoped Eleanor wouldn't hold any grudges. For some reason, she wished Eleanor and Cedric to be together. Myna was aware of the conversation between Nathaira and Eleanor. After Eleanor told everything to her without hiding anything. She hoped Eleanor would have a safe pregnancy period, she doesn't want her to carry all the negativity. To get rid of negativity, the only way was to find positivity in everything.
