Chapter 1076 After wrapping up his business at the group. Bernard returned earlier than usual to Fiord Roundabout. He found Eleanor sitting in the living room, head bowed, seemingly deep in thought He shrugged off his coat, then started to loosen his tie as he approached Eleanor.
âSweetheart, why didnât you continue working on your designs today?â
Usually, she would be in the study at this time, but today she was just sitting in the living room, zoning out. He found it a bit odd.
Hearing Bernardâs calm and gentle voice, Eleanor looked up.
âMy hand got tired, so I didnât continue.â
Upon hearing this, Bernard paused in the middle of loosening his tie, grabbed her hand, and began massaging her wrist.
âIf it wasnât for wanting to complete the project your sister left unfinished, I wouldnât have let you work so hard.â
He just wanted to give her the best life, one that was free of worries.
Eleanor watched his hands massaging hers, and after a few seconds of silence, she spoke.
âBernard, did you know Garett has depression?â
His hands slowly came to a halt.
Bernard raised his head to meet Eleanorâs gaze. He noticed the pallor of her complexion and the sadness in her eyes. She already knew the truth, and Bernard realized he couldnât hesitate any longer.
âI know,â he admitted, though Eleanorâs reaction still weighed on him.
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â Eleanorâs voice trembled with emotion, her hand slipping from his grip.
Settling down on the sofa, Bernardâs eyes betrayed a hint of impatience. âI was afraid it would upset you, make you feel guilty, so I hesitated,â he explained âSo, you deliberately hid it from me?â Eleanorâs brows furrowed, feeling hurt by the revelation Bernardâs gaze deepened with disappointment. âAre you questioning me for Garettâs sake?â he asked, causing Eleanorâs heart to skip a beat.
âIâm not just doing this for him. I just believe you should have told me earlier,â Eleanor replied, trying to make her point clear.
âAnd if I had told you, what could you have changed? Could his illness have been cured instantly?â
His words made Eleanor hold back what she was about to say, a flash of anger in her eyes.
âNo wonder you didnât tell me, so thatâs what you think...â
Eleanor stood up from the sofa angrily As she passed by him, Bernard reached out and pulled her back onto the sofa.
He straightened his body, leaned over her, preventing her from moving, and asked in a low voice, Now that you know, what are you going to do?â
His eyes were unfathomable, revealing no emotions.
âAre you going to take care of him, or divorce me and marry him?â
Eleanor stared at his indifferent face, unable to believe that he would say such a thing.
âBernard, do you realize what youâre saying?â
âIf I didnât, would I be asking you?â
Eleanor said nothing, her pale face making Bernard feel a sense of irony.
âYou have two choices, pick one.â
Knowing that Garett has depression, she would surely help him no matter what. So, Bernard didnât need to ask, he just presented the options.
âYouâre right, I wonât just stand by and watch Garett sink into a pit he canât escape from. I will help him.â
Not because she couldnât forget, but because Garett had been sincere, caring, and helpful to her since they were young, and she owed him a deep debt of gratitude.
Bernard should know this, but his words made it seem like she had changed her heart, which made her very angry.
âAs for whether Iâm going to take care of him, leave you, or be with him, I havenât decided yet.â

Her tone was very calm, and it was hard to tell whether she was venting her emotions or actually considering it.
Bernard stared at her calm face, and for a moment, he felt a chill run through his veins.
Especially seeing the determination in her eyes, he felt an overwhelming sense of despair.
âI thought you wouldnât leave me for Garett again, but your current attitude tells me that Iâm not important to youâ
No matter if love still existed between them or not, her concern for Garett was always special, and Garett was always an obstacle between them that couldnât be overcome She would give her life for Bernard, but Bernard said that he wasnât important to her. After all they had been through, wasnât there any trust left? Her anger was burning brighter, but she didnât say a word. She just pushed Bernard away, stood up from the sofa, grabbed her phone, and headed for the 10.04 door.
âWhere are you going?â
Eleanor ignored Bernard Sitting on the sofa, he stared at her retreating figure, his heart racing, his eyes instantly reddening âAre you going to see Garett?â
Eleanor, who was putting on her shoes, didnât look back, replying sharply.
âDidnât you tell me to be with him? If not him, who should I go see?â
