Looking into her beautiful doe eyes, Bernard said, “Let me keep you company while you’re in W City”
Eleanor was taken aback for a second but quickly regained her composure. “Mr. Laurence, that’s not appropriate”
They had only met because she accidentally drank something, but there was no need to drag it on any further
Bernard smirked. Ms Shultz, are you worried that your husband might not approve?” novelbin
Eleanor shook her head gently and told him. “Mr. Laurence, loving you was exhausting, and I don’t intend on repeating past mistakes”
This was the first time he had heard her say she loved him. Bernard’s heart seemed to stop, and his eyes turned red. Eleanor, I’ve been waiting for you to say that for so many years
Eleanor looked up and gave him a small smile. Tve been waiting for you to say you love me too, for so long.
Bernard’s heart ached so much that he could barely breathe
He gently touched her cheek and whispered, “Since we both love each other, can we be together again?”
Eleanor corrected him with a smile “Mr. Laurence, I used to love you…”
Bernard let out a painful laugh, “Yeah, used to…”
No one knew how much he loved her
Why did she only say she used to love him when he finally realized it
They had been in love with each other for five years, but he had never noticed
He had missed her love for him without ever experiencing it. How could he accept that?
He wasn’t willing to give up Tenderly touching Eleanor’s face, he asked passionately, ‘Can you fall in love with me again, even just a little bit?” Eleanor smiled and said lightly. Mr. Laurence, we used to love each other, and that’s enough. We shouldn’t be together again” She didn’t want to go back to the despair and helplessness she felt three years ago it was too exhausting
Bernard’s eyes reddened. “You see, I almost forgot, you already have a husband. How could you possibly fall in love with me again…” He slowly controlled his emotions, returning to his usual cold demeanor Ms. Shultz, just forget what i said earlier. It was nonsense Eleanor glanced at him, wanting to explain that it wasn’t because of Garrett, but he had already changed the subject. “Are you thirsty?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
Her throat was so dry from the medication that it felt like it was on fire, so naturally, she was thirsty
Bernard handed her a cup with a straw, intending to help her drink
This time, Eleanor didnt let him help and took the cup herself, sipping the water.
Bernard didn’t stop her, he just sat quietly beside her, watching her finish the water
To him, even if she didn’t love him, being by her side like this was a kind of happiness
Eleanor looked up after finishing the water, noticing him staring at her. She felt a bit uneasy and looked away.
She lay in bed, and he sat beside her Even though they were so close, it felt like there was an endless distance between them, with neither knowing how to cross this unbridgeable gap They sat there in silence, not talking making the room even quieter
Eleanor felt that if she continued to be alone with Bernard, she would feel incredibly suffocated, so she decided to break the silence.
Mr Laurence, how much longer do I have to stay here?”
Seeing her eagerness to leave, Bernards heart ached, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
“Eleanor, do you not want to be with me anymore?”
Eleanor didn’t look up at him again.
