After dinner, Eleanor had the servants take Nina to bathe, while she herself sat on the single sofa at the study door, pretending to read while eavesdropping on Bernard and Caleb’s phone conversation
“If you wanna tie the knot, I can go and have a chat with Robin”
On the other end of the phone, Caleb instinctively resisted upon hearing this.
“Boss, I’m not into Katharine You don’t need to plead with Robin on my behalf”
He could totally picture the reaction Robin would have if the boss went to talk to him about it!
He didn’t want the boss to swallow his pride and plea to Robin on his behalf. That would be worse than death.
Besides, Caleb was fully aware that, given Katharine’s personality, if she found out he had deceived her, she definitely wouldn’t be willing to marry him.
So why should the boss have to humble himself to his enemy for an impossible cause?
“Caleb, I can help you break free from Siren Organization, then you won’t be bound by your status anymore, and you can be with whoever you want. I’ll have someone protect
you.”
Upon hearing this, Caleb felt a warm feeling in his heart. He was deeply touched.
Although he also desired freedom, the boss was going to the black market in five months, and he had to accompany him.
If he can’t protect the boss, he’d give his life to do so. After all, the boss had been helping and taking care of him since he was a child and had always appreciated him.
“No need, boss. I still have a lot of missions to complete…
After saying this, Caleb took a deep breath and, gripping his phone, said:
“If Katharine is still looking for me, just tell her where I am.”
If he was going to be with her, he had to take responsibility. He just hoped that when Katharine saw him again, she wouldn’t want to kill him. Anything else, she could do as she pleased
After failing to persuade Caleb multiple times, Bernard felt somewhat tired and stopped talking. After hanging up the phone, he saw Eleanor eavesdropping
The corners of his lips turned up slightly, revealing a beautiful curve. “Mrs. Laurence, you still have the habit of eavesdropping”
Eleanor was caught in the act and felt a twinge of embarrassment. She quickly grabbed a book and used it to shield her face. “Um… I was just wondering if Caleb finally agreed to marry Katharine.”
Bernard approached, removing the book that concealed her face and casually tossing it aside. Leaning over her, he placed his hands on the sofa’s armrests. “Why don’t you join me in discovering something new? Afterwards, I’ll fill you in”
It didn’t sound like anything good “No, I don’t want to learn.”
Bernard’s eyelashes lowered slightly as he deliberately brushed against her cheek. “Hmm? Don’t you want to know the answer?”
His tone was seductive, and Eleanor usually gave in within a few seconds. But this time, she held her ground. “I suddenly don’t want to know. I’m going to go be with Nina.”
She was about to get up, but Bernard grabbed her waist. Her world spun, and she fell into his warm embrace. “You may not want to know, but I insist on telling you.”
Eleanor was carried into the elevator by Bernard and brought to the penthouse. He kicked open the door, and the themed decor immediately caught her eye.
Eleanor found herself tightly embraced by Bernard, a mixture of surprise and curiosity evident on her face. I remember envisioning this space as a rooftop flower room. When did it transform into this?”
Bernard held her waist with an impassive expression. “This was specially arranged for you. Don’t you like it?”
They were enclosed within an iron cage, adorned with flowing red gauze. Beneath the gauze, a circular bed was covered in a sea of red roses. On the floor, a technologically designed galaxy slowly shifted and moved.
Eleanor shifted her gaze from the mesmerizing scene to Bernard’s noble and composed countenance
She had known long ago that he was a bit offbeat in this respect, but she didn’t expect that his eccentricity wasn’t just a bit, but extreme…
Seeing her resistance, Bernard frowned slightly. “If you don’t like this room, we can switch to another one.”
There are other rooms?!
Eleanor clung to his neck. “Let’s just stick with this one…”
That was all she could accept for now
