Cassius guessed that Bernard might be as devoted to love as Ethan Simply put, once they have form beliefs, they will stick to it and are unwilling to change. This is probably because they wem brought up under a strict regime with le room for emotional exploration
He figured if they had more experience they wouldn’t be so hung up on one woman
Cassius thought he had Bernard all figured out. So he started throwing around his seniority acting all high and mighty
“At Laurence since you’re set to mamy Me Shultz, you’re technically family You’ve got a say in the kid’s custody If you don’t mind, we can sit down in the lounge and hash this out
Discussing custody with the son of his enemy Carsius figured he was already making a huge concession
As the younger man Bernard should show some respect Cassius even thought Bernard might feel guilty enough to address him with a title of respect
But
Bernard didn’t even glance his way simply stating. “Talk to my lawyer
Then he turned to Eleanor and asked. “Are we done?”
Eleanor looked down at Nina. “Anything else you want to tell daddy and mommy?”
King knew the middle aged couple wanted to snatch her away, so she shook her head.
Eleanor took Ninas hand and replied to Bernard “Lets go
Bernard nodded, took her hand and they walked directly towards the cemetery, parting the crowd.
After they left, Pearce and George exchanged a glance
It seemed they didn’t fancy hanging out with the Ziegler clan ether. After bidding Emilia and Ethan goodbye, they also took their leave.
Just as Eleanor was about to get in the car. Evelyn suddenly caught up and stopped her
“Ms Shultz I have a few words about your mother”
Eleanor, on the verge of getting into the car paused at the mention of her mother.
She turned to look at Evelyn, somewhat surprised that the knew about her mom
Beard also looked back at Evelyn
“Bernard, fim going to see what she wants, okay?”
Eleanor’s voice brought Bernard back to reality.
He took her hand and said somewhat apprehensively, “I’ll go with you”
Eleanor nodded lightly They walked over to Evelyn
Bernard was imposing, which made Evelyn feel a bit pressured.
She clenched her fists, summoning the courage to ask Bernard
“Mr. Laurence, I would like to ask you to leave. Otherwise I will not tell her”
Why let Bernard leave?
Eleanor looked at Evelyn suspiciously
Thes my husband, why let him go?”
“Ms. Shultz, you just listen to me Evelyn’s mysterious manner made Bernard furrow his brows
Evelyn was the sole heiress of her family, a family with a century–old legacy. How could she know Eleanor’s mother?
And she wanted him to leave, as if she didn’t want him to know who Eleanor’s mom was. Or perhaps she was trying to warn Eleanor to stay away from her
Bernard hit the nail on the head. He let go of Eleanor’s hand and walked towards the nearby woods
For Bernard, as long as there was a stired of information, there was nothing he couldn’t figure out. So it didnt matter if he heard it or not
When Bernard was finally out of sight, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief. It was undeniable, the oppressive aura of the Laurence family’s bigwig was overwhelming
“Evelyn how do you know who my mother is?”
Evelyn gently touched her racing heart before turning to Eleanor
Instead of answering night away, she reached out and gently caressed Eleanor’s cheek
