Chapter 786 Eleanor walked into the kitchen with a smile, opened the fridge and was about to scrounge for some grub when she suddenly heard the sound of a shutter click behind her.
âDarn it, I forgot to mute it...â
Elbert Pine was hiding behind the door, decked out in a chefâs outfit, holding his phone towards her Eleanor was taken aback to see him sneaking onto the ship just to snap a pic of her. She gave him a onceâover and said, âMr. Pine, are you out of your mind?â
Caught red handed. Elbert didnât bother pretending anymore. He yanked off his chefâs hat and mask, and slumped down onto a chair âTruth be told, you look familiar, so I wanted to snap a pic of your face and send it to my dad to see if youâre a relative of mine.â
Heâd been tailing her for days, yet could never get a good frontâfacing shot It was so frustrating!
A guy named Aidyn Reyes came on board today, and Elbert seized the opportunity to sneak onto the ship.
He finally managed to catch her in the kitchen, but in his excitement and haste, he forgot to mute his phone.
As if that blunder wasnât enough, he ended up being bossed around by the head chef to chop onions all day....
Heâd never cooked before, let alone chopped veggies.
He didnât even know the basic fact that onions could make your eyes sting, so he ended up chopping and crying, wiping his tears with his hands...
His eyes had been soaking in water for an hour to relieve the sting, but they were still swollen and stinging like crazy!
Recalling his ordeal, Elbert suddenly felt incredibly wronged.
âEleanor, considering the hell Iâve been through, can I take a picture of you?â
Despite being twenty, Eleanor was still a bit soft hearted and walked over to him.
âI do feel sorry for you, but Iâm not letting you take my picture.â
âWhy not?â

Elbert was baffled. It was just a picture, why was she being so defensive?
Eleanor gazed at Elbert, their dissimilar faces in stark contrast, and took a seat opposite him.
âYou mentioned earlier that I seem familiar and wanted to take a picture to show your father, to determine if Iâm a relative of yours?â she inquired.
âYes, thatâs correct. I assure you itâs solely for that purpose, nothing illegal,â Elbert affirmed.
Upon hearing this, Eleanorâs fingers subtly curled on her thigh.
âWho do you think I resemble?â she probed, intrigued by the notion âI believe you bear a resemblance to my aunt, although I canât quite recall her appearance. Hence, I thought of taking your picture to seek confirmation from my dad,â Elbert explained.
Elbertâs aunt Eleanor pondered for a moment, then decided to delve a bit deeper.
âDo you know Emilia?â
Sheâd wanted to ask him if he knew Emilia the first time she saw him.
Now he was saying she looked like his aunt, and Evelyn had said she resembled her mother.
If Elbert knew Emilia, then she must be....
