Eleanor looking sexy in Diana’s dress.

When Jackson advised Alan to trust him to offer him the finest guidance, Alan regarded him with suspicion since he believed Jackson would provide better advice.

He quickly saw, though, that asking any of his brothers was a mistake. After he spoke, he shook his head, disappointed.

For the remainder of the night, Alan and Eleanor tossed and turned in bed. Eleanor was upset because she believed Alan or Scott—she was still unsure of why he claimed to be Scott the other day—had repeatedly seduced her and then left her.

 

Alan's excuse was, of course, crystal clear.

The next day, she found some clothes waiting for her when she exited the restroom. She dropped the towel as she danced to the bed.

Later, she changed into the Midi dress, a green maxi and mini garment that showed off her shoulders while concealing her sleeves. The garment had been slashed such that it exposed her left thigh.

Eleanor stood in front of the mirror and rotated to examine the dress from all sides and angles, adoring it. She was delighted, and a big smile sprang on her face.

She saw the strangest imagery on Alan's face when he saw her in the dress for the first time. She wanted him to check her out because she looked wonderful in the clothing.

Alongside the bed, there was a pair of black gladiators that she could not say she disliked even if they were not her style.

A little while later, the men's mother knocked on the door and entered with a friendly grin. Eleanor couldn't help but return the woman's smile.

The younger woman ran into the older woman's embrace as she opened her arms to her.

As she experienced the warmth it gave her, Eleanor nearly tore.

Both of them remained motionless for some time as if Elizabeth could tell she needed that hug more than a morning greeting.

 

"Arh sorry," Eleanor told as she distanced herself.

 

"Don't worry, I'm always here to give you a hug whenever you need it," Elizabeth declared, which earned a frown on Eleanor's face.

'Why would she tell me she would be willing to hug me whenever I needed one if she knows I'm going today?' She reasoned, 'Unless once more they are not letting me go as they promised,' and Elizabeth, as if reading her mind, immediately informed her,

"I mean, feel free to visit my house whenever you like."

She scowled once more, 'Visit this house? Not a chance!' She only thought.

'Breakfast is ready,' one of the cooks mind-linked to the Queen after allaying the food and not finding her at the dining hall.

'Sure, we'll be downstairs in a minute.' She informed them.

She led Eleanor to the door while holding Eleanor's hand and saying, "Food is ready, the others are waiting for us." she nodded at the friendly old woman.

She was aware that the woman liked her and that, for some reason, she was behaving in a significant manner. Eleanor reasoned that she might be doing that to prevent reporting her sons for what they had done to her.

The others were seated around the table and all grinned as they saw their mother and Eleanor coming down the stairs before they all noticed the clothing Eleanor was wearing.

They all turned and bowed their heads at once.

Alan, on the other hand, painfully clamped his jaws. He was prepared to snap the neck of anyone who turned to face her because his tongue tasted foul.

 Through a mind link, Scott said to Alan, 'I don't like her dress.'

Rolling his eyes, Alan retorted, 'Tell me about it.' Although he didn't like it either, they were powerless to make her do anything about it.

Eleanor could still make out the frown on Alan's face, though she wasn't hoping for a comment from him or any reaction from him.

James was seated across from Alan when she moved to sit next to him.

'Who chose the clothing?' Jordan enquired as he was eating. While Eleanor was seated there, he was unable to say it aloud, so he requested through a mind link.

Andrew responded, raising the cup to his lips, 'I believe the women tending to her did.'

He was seated next to Alan, and even without turning to look at him, he could sense that Alan was upset.

Everyone feared not to look Alan in the eye after he threw his napkin on the table and put his cup back down; it was so loud.

Once more, Eleanor interpreted his action as if he found her presence repulsive. She chose to ignore him and keep eating her breakfast.

'Why did they give her a dress like that to wear?' Even though Simon was almost done with his breakfast, he chose to take a break with the last piece of bread he was eating so he could participate in the conversation.

'Now please quit acting like boys, fellas. She looks great in her clothing, which is ideal,' Only Elizabeth was able to praise her in the beginning. Eleanor's clothing was one she liked.

 

'Tiana and Kesh are in charge of looking after her, but Tiana hasn't returned from her family's holiday; it was her day off. She would return in two days. Kesh hasn't returned from the errands Daniel assigned to her either. Therefore, they cannot have picked up the clothing.' Andrew continued to chip after he realized it couldn't be any of the women assigned to take care of her.

'Why would you send one while the other went on leave when those two were specifically ordered to take care of her? Who the hell chose the dress, then?' Alan's hazel eyes changed to dark brown.
