Chapter 214: Cedric's Dilemma

Ch-214

"She doesn't know about this," Aiden said. 

"I expected that," Cedric said. 

"If she isn't yours, then why do let her stay with you, and give your last name? You don't even Eleanor's mother," Cedric asked as he pointed the obvious fact that could be seen. 

"Whether I love her mother or not, is not the point. The thing is… Eleanor is my stress-buster in the start. Later she turned into my life. And Eleanor's mother was raped because of me. If I protected her well, that wouldn't have happened. She wouldn't have to deal with depression or faced that mental stress. I can't leave my little angel with a mentally unstable person. I want Eleanor to grow up in a healthy environment," he said. 

"So… you are saying rising Eleanor is redemption for you," Cedric concluded. It's not a question but a statement. And Aiden's silence gave him his answer. 

"I got it. So, he is after Eleanor, now?" Cedric asked. 

"Maybe," Aiden said. 

"You know he was the one behind the downfall of Zora's, and your son's condition. And now he is after Eleanor too. You are doing nothing for it. Is it because you don't care?" Cedric asked in disbelief. He couldn't understand Aiden's stance on this matter. 

"It's not that I don't care. It's that I am more helpless than you. If you can do nothing, what can I do to him? I am just waiting for Martin to wake up and take care of these things. He knew something about that man. He has an adopted daughter and a son. He knew how they look, and their names. But before he talked with me, he met with an accident." Aiden said with a sigh. 

"But he isn't awake," Cedric said. 

"He should be awake in this week. But he isn't still. The doctor said he is being responsive when Eleanor talks to him. But things are happening back to back she isn't getting time to talk to him." Aiden said.

"And we all know you are the reason for it. But again apart from you, no one can protect her well. I let her get hurt. I am being shitty father," Aiden grumbled. 

Cedric pursued his lips not knowing what to say. He was right. He was the reason for her miseries.

"Also, see the one who hurt my daughter is now asking me that I am doing nothing for my daughter. The Irony," Aiden added sarcastically. 

Cedric felt ashamed. He owes an apology to Eleanor and her family. He thought everything would be solved if he apologized but he forgot not only Eleanor but her family deserves an apology. He didn't apologize to her family but came to them asking an explanation for not protecting her. To Aiden this situation seemed ridiculous. 

The long thick silence in the room was deafening. Cedric felt suffocating to stay in the room. He badly wanted to leave the room but he couldn't abruptly leave the room. 

Aiden understood his suffocation. This man wasn't responsible at all. At this rate he couldn't take the responsibility of his daughter and his future grandchild. He won't allow them to be with an irresponsible man like him. 

"Cedric, You don't need to take care of Eleanor from now on. Till  a second ago, I thought you can take care of my daughter. Now, It's confirmed, you are not worthy of her. And my grandchild, I will take care of him. I hope you won't bother her anymore," Aiden said. 

"Uncle Aiden….." Cedric wanted to say something but was cutoff by Aiden. 

"Enough! You are unworthy. Leave," he said firmly. 

Cedric knew no matter what he says would be like convincing him. He got up and left. He still couldn't understand why he was behaving like that. He apologized for his mistake for Eleanor. But why everyone were acting as if he committed a sin. 

Again, maybe because of his long lonely life, his cold atitude, and his emotionless attitude during the absence of Eleanor made him unable to recognize the feelings the feelings of others, and what a person hold the importance of their dear ones in their life. 

Cedric was known as the talented, young, dynamic, hardwork, and a definition for success. He was the man that every woman wants to marry and every man envious of him. But in the end, all these things turned useless. He wasn't able to understand his partners emotions and feelings well. He apologized to Eleanor when his father put some sense into his brain. Again now… someone has to put some sense into his brain. Maybe he should work on understanding others feelings a bit. Or maybe he should start thinking in other person point of view. So, that he would know what to do better in the future. And will not hurt others knowingly. 

Indeed, whatever he did was unintentional and he did that for their good and safety. Why don't anyone care about it? 

Only he knew how hurt he was, when he tormented Eleanor like that. Only he knew how his heart broke into pieces, when Eleanor said that she wouldn't allow him to be called as father for their child. Cedric felt like his world crumbled. He felt so filthy when he thought he slept with Nathaira. If he hadn't heard the conversation between Nathaira and Eleanor, he would have been still drowning in the ocean of guilt. He felt like thousands of swords stabbing his body, making his every inch bleed with agony, pain and betrayal for his soulmate when he kissed Nathaira. Why no one understands that? Why was he gets blamed all the time? Can't they understand him and his sacrifices? 

He was disappointed when Eleanor didn't forgive him right after he apologized. Cedric did everything in his hands just to make it right for her. He wondered why she was stuck on her self-respect and his trust things even after he apologized. 

Even his sister hates him, his father doesn't trust him as much as he did back then. His friends only Edward on his side.. He wondered when everything and everyone goes back to their old places.
