Eleanor wasn’t distracted by her phone, instead she was intently wiping Garett’s forehead. Garett, touched by her came, looked at her for a while before finally speaking
“Eleanor, you’ve got your own family now. It’s not right for you to take care of me like this.”
Eleanor smiled faintly a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.
“Garett if you don’t mind treat me as your sister‘
Though it sounded brutal between them, it was their ultimate destination
Let those deep feelings, those unforgettable memories, transform into familial love.
Garett’s eyes were blurred with tears. He lifted his head slightly
The sunlight pierced through the dense branches, stabbing into his eyes.
Though it stung a bit, he bravely faced the light, holding back his tears, and then pretended to laugh it off
“Then, would you mind, my sister, cleaning my face once more?”
He lowered his head slightly leaning towards Eleanor, his tone brimming with joy, as if embracing her as family.
Seeing his agreement, Eleanor’s smile grew even wider “Alright”
She picked up the wet wipes again, gently cleaned his face, and then stood up to push his wheelchair.
They found shelter under a tree, and Garett gazed at the yet to bloom branches, a faint smile still on his face.
“Eleanor, by next spring, this tree will be adorned with white flowers. It’s going to be beautiful”
Eleanor followed his gaze to the tree, nodding in agreement.
“Then… I’ll come to appreciate the flowers with you next spring”
Garett turned his head, smiling at Eleanor.
“Is this a promise?”
“Yes, it’s a promise.”
Garett felt touched. This promise, like a life–saving straw, pulled him out of the abyss in an instant.
Tll be waiting for you next spring, don’t break your promise.”
“Okay”
Eleanor’s affirmative response brought a relieved smile to Garett’s eyes.
Since they couldn’t be together in this life, let him exist in her world as her brother.
Bernard watched the pair through the car window, then slowly retracted his hand.
Their laughter and chatter made him think, that’s how it should be.
And he was just a sudden outsider in their lives….
This thought flashed past, Bernard’s eyes drooped, his vision becoming blurry….
The throbbing pain at his temples caused him to reflexively raise his hand to his forehead…
He endured the pain, raising his cold gaze, looking at them as if gazing at distant stars.
Garett had prepared a lot of food that Eleanor liked, a table full of delicacies.
After Yilia warmly invited Eleanor to sit down, she left the dining room with Colter and the servants, leaving the three of them some space to chat
Hailey often visited, so she wasn’t shy, sometimes getting Eleanor to relax a bit.
Garett cut a steak for Eleanor and handed it to her
“I remember you used to like beef, eat more.”
Although she seemed a bit more filled out than a few years ago, he still hoped she would eat more.
“Okay”
Eleanor obediently picked up hier fork and ate the steak he had cut for her.
The beef was indeed jender and juicy, but she didn’t know when she had stopped liking beef.
She remembered following Bernard around No. 8 Mansion, where he always asked the chef to prepare her some delicacies.
Probably around that time, her taste was changed by Bernard
She didn’t expect that when her mood changed, her taste would change too. Humans are such complex creatures.
When she thought of Bernard, Eleanor quickly lifted her wrist and glanced at the time on her watch
