Chapter 2884 Praises From Gadel Bring Joy To Eleanor
Elsewhere, at Prince Gadel's castle.
Ever since Eleanor recovered from the effects of the love potion, she had been staying at the castle. She claimed it was to make amends and allowed herself to enjoy the vast Eshesh.
What boosted her ego the most was that every time she went out, Garrett would accompany her, instantly boosting her prestige.
"Your Highness, there's no need to go to such lengths. I'm just going out for a stroll, to do some shopping. It's a bit embarrassing to have you accompany me all the time," she said, although she couldn't help but straighten her back and lift her chin slightly when she saw the envious looks from other women on the street.
This feeling was simply exhilarating. In her twenty-plus years of life, this was the first time she had been treated this way.
Garrett felt disdainful in his heart, but his face was filled with a warm smile.
"It's my honor to accompany such a beautiful girl like Ella on a shopping trip. Besides, you and Mr. Larson are from the same hometown, so it's only natural that I take good care of you. Otherwise, Mr. Larson might blame me."
If Matthew himself or anyone else in the know were present, they might scoff at his words.
From the beginning, Garrett had been trying to curry favor with Matthew. At most, they could be considered friends, far from being brothers. But Eleanor, still naive and ignorant, was not aware of this.
With Garrett's praise, she felt even more elated.
"Stop it, Your Highness. I'm just an ordinary girl."
She claimed to be ordinary, but inside, she was overjoyed.
"By the way, Your Highness, are you and Matthew close?" "Of course!"
The prince gave a mysterious smile and whispered to her.
"At Gadel's banquet, if it weren't for me stopping Helen, she would have made a move on Matthew long ago. You were unconscious at the time and didn't know about this, but you can ask the guards in my castle."
Eleanor didn't doubt it. She had already heard about the day when Garrett stepped in to stop and protect her.
"Also, a few days ago, Matthew held
ĭ
a banquet, and I personally went to support him. You may think that
Gadel and Matthew have a good,
relationship on the surface. But net
when Matthew held such a grand banquet, he only sent one of his confidants. So, you understand now!" he added.
These were all open secrets and not something to panic about. It was just that Garrett had twisted the concept, but Eleanor believed him without a doubt.
"No wonder. But I still want to thank Your Highness for your company these past few days."
Seeing her like this, he felt secretly pleased and generously said, "My brother's friend is my friend. Ella, you keep mentioning thanks. It's a bit too format. By the way, Ella, I've always had a question. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask you?"
Eleanor, who had already fallen into the trap, agreed without thinking.
"First of all, I have no other intentions. I'm just curious."
Seeing his cautious demeanor, she couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that a prince would have such a cute side.
"Hehe, Your Highness, just ask boldly. I won't mind. Didn't you say that we are friends?"
After scratching his head awkwardly, Garrett finally asked, "I'm just curious. Why didn't Roxanne come with you this time? I heard that she and you are known as the Twin Pearls of the Bane Family!" This time, Eleanor didn't respond to his praise with a happy smile. Instead, she wore a worried expression.
