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.
“Darn it, I forgot to mute it…”
Elbert Pine was hiding behind the door, decked out in a chef’s 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
once–over and said, “Mr. Pine, are you out of your mind?”
Caught red handed. Elbert didn’t bother pretending anymore. He yanked off his chef’s hat and mask,
and slumped down onto a chair
“Truth be told, you look familiar, so I wanted to snap a pic of your face and send it to my dad to see if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’re a relative of mine.”
He’d been tailing her for days, yet could never get a good front–facing 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 wasn’t enough, he ended up being bossed around by the head chef to chop onions all

He’d never cooked before, let alone chopped veggies.

Despite being twenty, Eleanor was still a bit soft hearted and walked over to him.
“I do feel sorry for you, but I’m not letting you take my picture.”
“Why not?”
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.
“You mentioned earlier that I seem familiar and wanted to take a picture to show your father, to
determine if I’m a relative of yours?” she inquired.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, that’s correct. I assure you it’s solely for that purpose, nothing illegal,” Elbert affirmed.
Upon hearing this, Eleanor’s fingers subtly curled on her thigh.
“Who do you think I resemble?” she probed, intrigued by the notion
“I believe you bear a resemblance to my aunt, although I can’t quite recall her appearance. Hence, I
thought of taking your picture to seek confirmation from my dad,” Elbert explained.
Elbert’s aunt Eleanor pondered for a moment, then decided to delve a bit deeper.
“Do you know Emilia?”
She’d 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….
