Chapter 1077
Bernard knew Eleanor was just blowing off steam, but his heart still stung like hell
Eleanor was as slow as a snail when it comes to changing shoes. After she finally finished, she grabbed her coat but Bernard didn’t come over. She gritted her teeth and stormed out the door.
The moment the door closed, Bernard collapsed onto the couch, his head pounding and seeing stars, unable to get up and chase after her
He turned his head, looking through the floor–to–ceiling window at the mansion’s exterior, watching her small figure gradually disappear into the distance, feeling a deep sense of injustice
After leaving Fiord Roundabout, Eleanor didn’t have any specific destination in mind. She just found a shady spot under a tree to sit and cool off her rage
alone
She sat there for quite a while until she saw Bernard’s car whizzing past her. Only then did she look up.
The car had driven a few hundred meters before it suddenly stopped and started to reverse…
Before the car had even completely stopped, the back door was flung open and Bernard jumped out, rushing towards Eleanor.
Seeing her drenched in sweat, he felt a pang in his heart. He squatted down and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his fingers.
“Babe, it’s too hot outside. You might get heatstroke. How about we go home first and we can talk when you’ve cooled down a bit?”
Even though he was also pissed off, he kept his temper in check and came out to coax her. Eleanor’s anger evaporated instantly.
“I didn’t come out here to fight with you.”
Her voice was laced with a hint of grievance, but it wasn’t as sharp as before.
Hearing the change in her tone, Bernard immediately reached out his hand to her.
“Alright, no more fighting. Let’s go home together.”
Eleanor glanced at his outstretched hand, then got up.
Eleanor left her sweaty hand in his, intentionally rubbing it in. She ran out in a huff and almost passed out from the heat, he should get a taste of it too. But Bernard didn’t show any signs of disgust. He held her hand tightly, helped her into the car, and even wiped her hand dry with a wet wipe.
Seeing how good Bernard was to her, guilt welled up in Eleanor’s heart.
“Honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have accused you of keeping things from me.”
It was because of what she said that Bernard misunderstood, and they ended up hurting each other.
This was their problem. They always spoke their minds before fully understanding the situation…
Bernard, who was still wiping her sweat, felt his grievance disappear when he saw her apologizing, leaving only sweetness behind.
“It was me. I didn’t control my emotions, and I wasn’t rational enough.”
What he said about ‘divorcing and remarrying‘ was indeed hurtful, as if he didn’t trust her.
She had said that she would love him for a lifetime, so how could he doubt her because of past events?
Eleanor, with her gentle nature, might get angry but it doesn’t last long and she doesn’t hold grudges. If it were someone else, they might not forgive him so easily.
It was because he met the kind–hearted Eleanor that he got a second chance. Without her, what would he have now?
Bernard put down the wet wipe and pulled Eleanor into his lap, then looked at her.
“Yeager just told me yesterday that he has depression. I thought you were too tired, so I didn’t tell you right away.”
Hearing him say this, Eleanor slowly understood.
This was Yeager’s trick, telling Bernard first, then her, with the intention of driving a wedge between them.
Just as Eleanor was about to tell Bernard that Yeager was trying to pit them against each other, she saw him lower his head….
“Of course, I also had my own reasons for not telling you
Just like she sad, she wouldn’t stand by and watch Garett succumb to a terminal illness without doing anything, she would definitely go and help him.
If she goes to help Garett, what about him? Should he just sit around and watch his own wife take care of someone else?
And he only has a few months left before going to Area Opaca, he didn’t want to give their remaining time to someone else.
Bernard’s dilemma was also Eleanor’s dilemma…
Thinking of this, Eleanor took the initiative to wrap her arms around Bernard’s neck, then lowered her head and gently kissed his forehead…
“Honey, when Hailey gets better, can we go to B City to see him?”
Now that she knows, she must go and visit him. Even if they’re no longer lovers, they’re still family.
His hand around her waist seemed to be struggling, tightening slightly, but relaxed after a while.
“I’ll go too”
