it includes a mystery mom she’s never met.
Emilia, on the other hand, knows who her mother is and understands all the family drama, yet she chose not to go back to her parents‘ family
That tells you all you need to know about her feelings for her family. She chose to stay in G country opting for Ethan Ziegler’s financial support over going back home
If Emilia, who knows all the det, made that choice, why would Eleanor, who’s been living solo for thirty years, look back?
Hearing her say this. Bernard breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a twinge of worry, “What if I’m your mortal enemy?”
Eleanor pondered for a few seconds, then asked him, “Did you kill my mother?”
“I’m only a year older than you how could I have killed your mother when I was just a kid?”
He knew, from looking into Emilia’s background, that Emilia’s mother died shortly after giving birth to Eleanor.
“Well, since you didn’t kill my mother, we can’t be mortal enemies
As for other relatives, they were just that, relatives. Whether there was any bad blood, she didn’t know, and frankly, she didn’t care.
Bernard stared at Eleanor, and after a long moment, reached out and gently touched her hair.
“I understand now, thank you, Eleanor
“If you want to thank me go cook me a meal.”
Bernard locked a bit taken aback
“Didn’t you say my cooking makes you want to hurl?”
So bad, it made her cringe, and she’d loudly declared him banned from the kitchen.
“It’s our first day as a married couple, of course you’re cooking”
That’s just how it’s done!
Hed better get used to it ‘cause he’s on kitchen duty from now on.
How edible it would be… well, they’d cross that bridge when they got to it
Bernard saw right through her little scheme and affectionately tapped her nose.
“Alright, I’m on it”
He got up and headed to the galley, with Caleb following closely behind, phone in hand.
“Mr. Laurence, do you still need this information?”
“Spit it out”
Bernard didn’t even look up, seeming disinterested now that he’d talked to Eleanor.
Caleb nodded respectfully before speaking
“Mr. Laurence, Eleanor is Vanya’s daughter”
At the mention of Vanya, Bernard paused
Mr. Penrod had just been on the boat and had called Eleanor by Vanya’s name.
He’d assumed Mr. Penrod had mistaken her for someone else, but now it seemed Mr. Penrod knew Vanya?
Even he, who had a grudge against the Pine family, didn’t know Vanya. How could Mr. Penrod, who has nothing to do with the Pine family, know her?
And Evelyn had said that Eleanor was the spitting image of Vanya before the disfigurement, which meant Mr. Penrod must have known Vanya a long time ago.
“Caleb, didn’t you see a picture of Mr. Penrod’s first love when you were a kid? What did she look like?”
Caleb was about to continue with his report when Bernard’s sudden question interrupted him. He paused, then recalled a childhood memory
He’d been severely punished by Mr Penrod for just touching the photo in a book. If Mr. Law hadn’t stepped in to protect him, he might not be alive today.
But since he was caught with just one glance, he didn’t remember much.
“I definitely can’t remember what she looked like, but I do remember the name on the photo.”
“What was the name?”
