Chapter 1498

Eleanor couldn’t help but press herself against Bernard’s broad, firm chest, her skin burning with a

desire magnified by their proximity. Bernard, ever the gentleman in the art of foreplay, had taken his

time, and now, as Eleanor gasped and reached for him with a fevered urgency.

With eyes clouded by passion, Eleanor looked into his intense gaze. It wasn’t long before she was

overwhelmed, and a muffled moan escaped her lips. Only then did Bernard, savoring her taste, capture

her lips with his own, murmuring, “Honey, let’s go again.”

Eleanor, exhausted, tried to push him away, protesting weakly. But Bernard, with a few well-placed

moves, reignited the fire within her, leaving her helpless to his desires…

Bernard had been hasty the first time, his need overtaking him quickly, but the second time he took his

time, pacing himself. Just as they were about to reach the pinnacle of bliss, a knock shattered the

moment.

“Eleanor, Bernard, little Dame’s gone missing! Open up!”

Upon hearing this, Eleanor panicked. She pushed Bernard aside, hastily threw on her nightgown that

lay crumpled on the floor, and rushed out the door.

“What’s going on? How could he just vanish?”

“I don’t know, I finished my spelling practice and when I went to bed, he wasn’t in his crib. Bryson’s

been searching all around the manor and still no sign of him…”

Eleanor’s heart pounded with fear, her post-coital glow draining to a ghostly pallor. She tried to steady

herself as she raced downstairs

Bernard, too, momentarily forgot his desire, wrapping a robe around himself before hastening out of the

bedroom, “Bryson, check the security cameras.”

The child was small, and anything could happen. The rooms were equipped with cameras for just such

emergencies. Bryson, pale with fear, had forgotten this crucial detail, “I’m on

it.”

Bernard hurried down the stairs, heading straight for Nina’s room.

Eleanor had scoured the room, finding nothing Upon seeing Bernard, she nearly collapsed in despair,

“If only I’d kept him with me tonight, none of this would have

happened. If something’s happened to him, I’ll never forgive myself…”

Bernard frowned, wrapping his arms around the frantic Eleanor.

“Don’t be scared. No one dares touch our son.

Besides, the manor was surrounded by his handpicked security. Who would dare to sneak in and

abduct a child in the dead of night?

While Bernard was pondering, Bryson, having checked the cameras, came running with a look of utter

disbelief, “Mr. Laurence, after you put the little master in his crib, he crawled out, made his way across

the carpet, and ended up under the bed…”

Handing his phone to Bernard, Bryson himself dashed to the bed, reaching under it for Damian.

The bed was too low and Bryson too big to reach Damian who had crawled into a corner. Nina shouted,

“Serenina, come help Bryson get your little brother out…”

Before Nina could move, Bernard stepped forward and lifted the bed. There, on the warmed carpet, lay

little Damian, his round belly up, sleeping soundly.

Eleanor sighed in relief, scooping up Damian and holding him tight. “My little treasure, mommy won’t

ever let you sleep alone again.”

As Bernard relaxed, Eleanor’s words made his heart tighten once more. But more pressing was the

question of why Damian had crawled under the bed.

While he pondered, Damian, nestled against Eleanor’s shoulder, opened his wide eyes and smiled at

Bernard. That adorable grin lifted Bernard’s eyebrows…

Over one year old and already so cunning. But impressive, Bernard mused, for the little one had just

secured a permanent spot in his mother’s arms with such a simple trick.

Nina, sensing something, approached Bernard and made a tiny gesture with her fingers. “Uncle

Bernard, don’t you think Damian’s a tiny bit terrifying…”

Bernard’s lips curled into a smile, “A baby still nursing thinks he can compete with me for my wife? He’s

got another thing coming.”

Watching the confident Bernard, Nina sighed, “Uncle, you don’t understand the magic a child has over

their mother…”

As it turned out, Bernard truly didn’t understand. For five long years, Damian kept him on his toes, until

one day, Bernard finally turned the tables…
