Chapter 73: Cedric, An Outsider!?

Ch-72 

"Checkmate!" Aiden announced as he ended the game. 

"You are a great player, Master Zora. I will learn this and would defeat you one day," Cedric said sincerely. 

Aiden laughed heartily. 

"I wanted to ask you a lot of questions. But seeing your nervousness, I believed you can't give me the correct answers," Aiden said, scaring Cedric slightly again. 

"So… I played this game to evaluate you," Aiden added. Cedric didn't understand how a person can evaluate someone with a single game. 

"Sir, did I pass?" Cedric asked. He was a lot more comfortable than the previous time but he was still slightly nervous. 

"Hmm… she is a fool sometimes. Take care of her. You can get married anytime but the wedding should await till my son wakes up. If she agrees you can get your marriage registered soon." Aiden said. 

Cedric felt a wave of happiness hitting him. Feeling ecstatic, he wanted to jump and dance in joy. But he held his urges as he tried to pose himself as a perfect son-in-law. 

"But…" Aiden started. He dropped a big mountain on Cedric's head with the word but. He wondered if using the word 'but' was in their family genes. Even Eleanor uses lots of 'buts'. And now his father-in-law was using the same. 

Cedric looked at him with his pitiful and cute look. Aiden felt bad for stressing the young man… but on the second thought, he was the Ruthless CEO of Emerson's how could he be so cute and pitiful? Dammit! He can't be fooled by him! Aiden's grim expression returned to his face. 

'You can't fool me, Young Man!' The expression on his face spoke volumes to Cedric. 

"I suggest you not marry till my son wakes up. If he wakes up and says no to your relationship. You have to break up!" Aiden warned. 

He can't let this young man fool everyone with his acting. He was too contagious and poisonous but still, only he can protect his daughter. So, he has to bite the bullet. 

"As for the things you have done for us, we will repay you in some way or another. And if I ever see my daughter crying… I will take her away the very next second, even if she is pregnant! I will take her away from you. It's not like we can't afford to raise a child," Aiden said as he stood up. He motioned butler to take away the chessboard. 

Eric took away the chessboard and filled the table with desserts for both of them. Aiden waited for Cedric to take them and eat but he noticed he didn't touch a single thing even if Aiden was eating. "Have them," Aiden said finally. 

Only then Cedric took them and started eating one dessert. But he didn't take more after he finished that one. Aiden nodded his head to himself as he noticed his behaviour. 

They had lunch in Zora's mansion before leaving the mansion. Cedric wanted to take Eleanor out, but Aiden stood there like a gateman and didn't let him steal his daughter.

"Ele, come here," Aiden called her. 

Eleanor knew she hid a lot from her father and with all the news on the internet, there was no way in the hell that he would know anything. Gulping the lump that had formed in her throat, she went near him. 

"Instead of telling an outsider, next time tell dad if you face problems. I know… we are not in a good position to deal with all that stuff. I can understand he did everything for your sake and because of his love. But when your brother wakes up… he won't think like that. If it concerns you… he would never think like that. At least from now… tell dad." He said to her. 

Eleanor nodded her head and said nothing. Indeed, she was at fault for this. She couldn't say anything about this. 

"Take some time off from that guy and concentrate on yourself. And don't linger in the company anymore. More or less, it is stabilized. I can handle it from now on," he said as he patted her head. 

"Dad! How many times shall I tell you!? Don't mess with my hair! Do you know how hard it is for me to comb my hair!?" Eleanor yelled as she smoothened her hair and checked herself on the phone screen. 

Aiden smiled at her she was still naïve but he saw it. In the past eight months, she had grown up a lot. She learned to get mixed with these human-like creatures in the business circle. 

"Don't come to the company anymore," he repeated. 

"I will until my brother wakes up. I can't be a fragile vase, dad. That's the reason the Boris family took advantage of me. I need to stand up for myself. All the time… you, brother or Cedric can't save me," she said. 

"Ele, Listen to dad. Here… you don't ne…" Aiden wanted to say something but his words were cut off by her. 

"Dad… I know dad. I don't want to be in your wings all the time. See…what happened to our aunt. She was sure that she would be safe with you, grandpa and her husband. But didn't you see she attempted suicide or framed like she attempted suicide in front of us? I am not saying I would end up like her, I am it's not bad being cautious. And here I am not doing a crime. If brother and you allowed me to work from the start… our company wouldn't go down this much. I would have done something better. I always regret being weak. Dad… don't you want your daughter to be strong?" Eleanor pleaded with him. When he didn't respond. She used her ultimate kill tool. That was her… taa… taa… tata da… 'PUPPY EYES'. 

And it worked. Unlike Martin Zora, Aiden Zora cannot resist her puppy eyes. Like every time he fell for them. 

"Ahh… fine! But as usual, you will work under my care and brother's PA surveillance," he said. 

Sighing… Eleanor nodded to the cruel fate she was destined to.
