Eleanor took a deep breath, her face turning red. She really shouldn’t have given in just now
Seeing her angry look, Bernard’s eyes twinkled with amusement.
He couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her again before letting her go “Alright, cut it out. Let’s get up and eat something”
Eleanor wasnt in the mood to eat at all. She hadn’t even had enough sleep and had been woken up by his kisses. She was so annoyed! Seeing that she didn’t want to get up. Bernard didn’t push her. He got up, brought some pancakes, and sat down on the sofa by the bed
He held a pancake up to her lips. “Open up.”
Eleanor shot him a glance, turned her body away, and propped her head up with both hands, staring at the garden outside the window and suking Looking at her back, a hint of indulgence flickered in Bernard’s eyes.
“Eleanor, if you’re not hungry, there’s a place on me that’s starving. Wanna give it a try?”
Hearing this, Eleanor turned around, staring at him with wide, angry eyes.
Bernard’s elbows were propped on his knees, leaning in to meet her gaze
“Eleanor, I’ve held back for several years, and it’s been really hard…”
Not wanting to hear any more of his outrageous words, Eleanor got up, wrapped in the blanket, and reached out her hand to him.
“Give me the pancake.”
Bernard shook his head gently
“I’ll feed you.”
Tm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.”
Bernard didn’t reply and instead just quietly watched her.
After taking a deep breath, Eleanor slightly opened her lips, and Bernard picked up the spoon again.
After feeding her, he asked softly, “Do you want more?”
Eleanor shook her head, watching Bernard put down the bowl and pick up a napkin to wipe her mouth.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly. He hadnt treated her like this before. It seemed like he had changed a bit….
Noticing the subtle expressions on her face, Bernard quickly understood what she was thinking, and the corner of his mouth curled up
He put down the napkin, lifted his well-defined fingers, and touched her face
“Eleanor, the night view nearby is beautiful. I’ll take you to see it.”
Eleanor was tempted, but she still had to hurry up and work on her drawings.
With only a little over a year left, her sister still had more than 50 project designs to start
Thinking of this, she looked at Bernard “Can I go find Pearce first?”
He was alone in the W City, knowing no one, and by now, he was probably homeless
She suddenly remembered Pearce’s penniless and helpless situation and felt very sorry.
Bernard’s eyes softened, but a hint of jealousy appeared “What do you need him for?”
Eleanor glanced at him and explained, “The data from the survey for the aerospace bureau expansion project is with him. I need to know the data first before can draw the designs” Bernards expression softened, and he sat up straight. “Don’t worry, leave everything to me”
Hearing this, Eleanor felt safe. it was as if everything would go smoothly with him around, and all dangers would be resolved
He walked to the door, called a servant, gave some instructions, and returned to the room. When he sat down again, he had two cards in his hand
Tve already arranged for someone to find Pearce a place to stay, and your things left at the hotel will be sent over soon.”
After saying this, he handed the two bank cards to Eleanor
“One of these cards is an unlimited credit card, and the other has all my liquid assets”
“You can spend as you like, don’t worry about not having money.”
Eleanor hesitated, not responding, and didn’t take the cards
He grabbed her hand, put the cards in her palm, and said, “Don’t overthink it I just dont want you to feel insecure in a foreign country”
Eleanor looked down at the cards in her hand, and after a few seconds of silence, she looked up at Bernard Were only together temporarily, so you don’t have to
Bernard interrupted her “Eleanor, remember, no matter how brief, you’re still my woman, and I wont let you feel the slightest unease”
Eleanor opened her mouth to say something, but Bernard suddenly lifted the blanket and scooped her up from the bed
Holding her in his arms, he looked down at her and said, “I haven’t even asked you out on a proper date Let’s not waste time on this, and do something more meaningful instead
