Chapter 64
Eleanor noticed the change in Jason’s eyes when he looked at her, and she knew what he was thinking.
She asked coldly, “Does Mr. Clowers still plan to have dinner with a woman like me?”
She knew he was thinking about her past, and he would probably refuse without hesitation.
But to her surprise, Jason firmly said, “Of course.”
He then walked straight towards the hotel restaurant.
Eleanor stared at his retreating figure, hesitating for a moment before following him.
The restaurant manager personally greeted them upon seeing Jasch.
“Mr. Clowers, right this way, please.”
He led them to a quiet and comfortable table, attentively pulling out their chairs and respectfully handing them menus.
Jason took the menu and asked Eleanor, “What would you like to eat?”
Eleanor replied indifferently. “I’m not hungry, you can order.”
Her health wasn’t great, and she didn’t have an appetite for anything.
Seeing her aloof attitude, Jason didn’t say much and casually ordered a few light dishes before returning the menu to the
manager.
After the manager departed, Jason reached for the water glass nearby and poured Eleanor some water. His actions were graceful, his manners flawless-these aspects of his character remained unchanged. Even as a child, he stood out among the other kids at the orphanage.
Reserved, quiet, and always polite, he possessed a remarkable intellect. In those days, Eleanor viewed him as a precious gift from above. However, a faint ache still lingered in her chest now.
Noticing the dimness in Eleanor’s eyes, Jason’s brow furrowed slightly. “Ms. Shultz, what’s on your mind?”
She lightly touched her chest and responded with a hint of indifference, “Just something I saw online.”
Curiosity sparked in Jason, and he inquired, “What is it?”
Eleanor’s reply carried a detached tone, “Once you achieve success the first step is to let go of past relationships.”
Jason didn’t catch the deeper meaning of her words, but he felt that Eleanor was indirectly referring to him.
“You’re not talking about me, are you?”
Eleanor didn’t answer, just picked up her water glass and took a sip silently.
Seeing her silence, Jason felt even more sure that she was referring to him.
He had some doubts about the things he had investigated, but he really couldn’t remember her.
But when he saw her looking weak last night, he felt worried, even distressed. This feeling was very real. Was it possible that what she said before was true?
“You said before that you were my girlfriend, was that true?”
“No, I lied to you.”
Eleanor straightforwardly denied it, without even blinking.
Jason felt a slight disappointment, “Why would you lie?”
Eleanor replied emotionlessly. “I wanted to marry into wealth”
She thought Jason asked this question to test if she remembered his previous warning
If she had answered or explained like before, she would have been kicked away again.
Just now, she had portrayed herself as a “woman who sold herself so that he wouldn’t suspect her relationship with Bernard.
Using this excuse could alleviate his concern that she would expose the past between them.
Eleanor’s thoughts were not something Jason could detect.
However, upon hearing her say this, his disappointment grew
Chapter 64
It was strange, when she used to pester him, he thought she was playing mind games.
Now, hearing her say it directly made him feel more disappointed, sad, and a little discouraged.
“Do you still want to seduce me now?”
“Your status is too high, and I’m not interested anymore.”
Eleanor replied coldly, somewhat impatient.
Why was he still probing? Did he think she had nothing better to do?
Jason smiled a little in embarrassment.
Actually, he felt embarrassed the moment he asked that question
Why on earth would he ask something like that? Maybe he should see Tyler about getting a shrink.
