Bernard realized he’d screwed up big time, his hand, which had been playing with her hair, suddenly stopped.
“I wouldn’t do that.”
It was less than convincing
“Are you sure?” Eleanor straightened her finger, listing Bernard’s past mistakes. “You used to hold hands with Sophie Ratliff.”
Bernard turned silent.
“You even carried her to the hospital”
“And…”
Bernard quickly interrupted her. “You’re talking about sleeping. I haven’t, and I won’t. Plus, we were just pretending to be lovers before”
Eleanor argued back, “So you’re saying Caleb was just pretending too, but he was more into it?”
Bernard got flustered, “That’s not what I meant. I don’t know what Caleb thinks, and you can’t compare me to him.”
Eleanor scoffed, pushed him away, rolled over and lay down on the edge of the bed. “I’m going to sleep, leave me alone.”
Bernard behind her was completely caught off guard. They were just so close in the room, but now they were sleeping separately.
It’s all Caleb’s fault!
Bernard stared at her back, hesitated for a few seconds, then, blanket and all, hugged her and pulled her back.
He actually wrapped her up in the blanket so that she looked like a giant dumpling, with only her head poking out, sitting in front of him.
Bernard, leaning against the headboard, was completely oblivious to his inappropriate behavior, just holding her tightly, taking responsibility for his past mistakes.
“I’m sorry for my childish behavior in the past, I really am.”
“If I could go back, I wouldn’t have tested you like that, I would have told you straight up, I love you”
“Sweetie, don’t be mad about the past, I’ve turned over a new leaf, I won’t use other women to make you angry anymore.”
Eleanor, her lower face covered by the blanket, had a slight smile on her lips.
‘So you can promise not to use other women to make me angry anymore?”
“I promise, I will absolutely not use other women to make you angry.”
“What if there are?”
Bernard paused, seemingly predicting how likely this was, finally shaking his head in denial.
*Unless I fall in love with someone else, I would never use another woman to make you angry, but what I can confirm is, I can’t love anyone else in this lifetime.”
He lifted his own pajamas, letting Eleanor bite him on the shoulder.
“Bite until it bleeds.”
That way, every time he saw the mark, it would remind him, he could never let her down.
“Are you nuts? I was just teasing you”
She was actually just messing with him, not really mad at him. Those things happened so long ago, how could she still hold a grudge?
“You just don’t want to bite, right?”
“Uh–huh, I’m afraid it’ll hurt you”
Eleanor, blanket and all, jumped into Bernard’s arms.
“Sweetie, go to sleep”
Seeing her no longer dwelling on the past, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief, holding her tightly.
“Caleb getting close to Katharine has nothing to do with you, don’t feel guilty, I’ll handle everything.”
“But can it really be resolved?”
“Mhm”
If Caleb wanted to get married, he’d prepare a gift, take Caleb to the Spencer family to propose. If Caleb didn’t want to get married, he’d respect Caleb’s decision. There was nothing he couldn’t handle
Eleanor nestled in his arms, nodding slightly She still hoped Caleb and Katharine could be together, but as for matters of the heart, they should face them themselves.
