Chapter 931
Inside the castle, Bernard wrapped up a video call and issued an order to Bryson, “Get ‘em outta here. Don’t let anyone see”
Bryson answered with a hasty “will do” before skedaddling out the other end of the castle. Seeing Bryson off to shoo folks away. Bernard headed back to the living room. “If you’re not leaving, you planning to stay for dinner or what?”
His words were blunt, leaving Mr Keith a bit put off.
Eleanor quickly stood up, tugged at his sleeve, and Bernard added, “Mr. Keith, you’re welcome to stay for dinner”
At this, Mr. Keith arched an eyebrow at Blake. “Alright, I haven’t had a meal at the Laurence’s before. I’ll stick around.”
Blake, leaning on his cane, stood up with a look that screamed “I’d rather be anywhere else.”
Eleanor was a bit intimidated by Blake, but she stepped up to stop him anyway “Blake, you can stay for dinner too.”
Blake glared at Katharine, but his gaze shifted to Bernard Observing Bernard’s emotionless expression, Blake stormed off in frustration.
With Blake gone, it was evident that Mr. Keith had no intentions of staying for dinner either. He swiftly rose from his seat and followed Blake, shooting Bernard a meaningful look before departing
However, in the end, Mr. Keith said nothing. He merely informed Eleanor, ‘Ill have Liana bring your medications. Ensure you take them on time.”
Before Eleanor could even express her gratitude, Mr. Keith had already left the castle.
Once both men had left, Eleanor scolded Bernard for his disrespect towards Blake.
Bernard retorted, “Have you forgotten how he used to treat you?”
Eleanor fell silent for a few moments before reluctantly admitting. “But he is your grandfather, after all.”
Bernard understood that Eleanor was attempting to mend relations between him and Blake, but he didn’t require her to do so. “You’re my wife. You don’t have to please anyone.”
Those words brought a joyful smile to Eleanor’s face. “Darling for you, I’d be pleasant to anyone*
Bernard felt a sweet warmth fill his heart, like he’d just been fed honey. “Come here, let me taste your lips. See if you’ve been smearing honey on them.”
Eleanor ran into his arms, puckered up her lips and brought them close to his. “Taste away.”
Catching his wife as she ran into him, Bernard gently pinched her chin and bent down to kiss her. ‘Mmm, your lips are really sweet.”
After a while, Eleanor finally pushed him away “Darling, Mr. Keith said I could have a baby now. Once I finish his prescribed meds, we might be able to have a baby I’m really looking forward to it…”
Bernard wasn’t too excited about having a baby, mostly because he was worried about Eleanor going through the pain of childbirth. But seeing how Eleanor obviously wanted one, and hearing that Blake had brought in Liana to treat Eleanor, he allowed Blake to visit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Blake in.
Now, seeing how happy and hopeful Eleanor was about having a baby, Bernard couldn’t help but share her joy. “You need to take good care of yourself. Having a baby is no walk in the park”
Eleanor wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and nodded in his arms. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself and bring you a healthy baby.”
Bernard’s eyes, shining like the stars, were filled with loving laughter. “Alright, I’ll be waiting…”
