Chapter 1094 Bemardâs heart seemed to stop dead in its tracks. His blood felt like it had turned to ice in his wins. His hands, clutching her so tightly, had also turned cold He looked down in disbelief at the woman in his arms, his mouth gaping open as if to ask her something but no words came out He remembered distinctly when he held her close, she told him she only loved him Then why on earth did she scream out Garettâs name in her sleep?
Was it because could it be that Eleanor herself didnât realize she had feelings for Garett buried deep down inside her?
If that was the case, whatâs the ratio?
Did she love him more or less than Garett?
Bemard stiffened. Eleanor quickly looked up at him, her face pale. âHoney, L Before she could finish her sentence, Bernard grabbed her wrist tightly âWhose name did you just call out in your sleep?â
His grip was strong, Eleanorâs wrist was fragile. His grip hurt her.
Eleanor bore the pain and continued, âHoney, I wasnât actually asleep. I was thinking about something that happened with Garett today, and I said his name. I didnât want to upset you, so I stopped talking Iâm sorry for the misunderstanding, but I wasnât calling out his name in my sleepâ
Bernardâs grip on her wrist loosened slowly His face was still pale, as if he was back to the days when hearing Garettâs name from her lips felt like a stab to his heart. This pain made him push Eleanor away.
He threw off the blankets, got out of bed, and absentmindedly threw on a shirt. He went to his desk, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer.
Just as he was about to light one, Eleanorâs hand stopped him.
The lights in the room were off, only the moonlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting a soft glow on them. In the dim light, they stared at each other, one looking down, the other up.
Finally, Eleanor reached out and wrapped her arms around Bernardâs waist, pulling him close. âHave I ever told you why I call out Garettâs name in my sleep?â
Bernard didnât answer, but he was desperate to know the reason. He didnât want to hear her call out Garettâs name in the middle of the night again.
He didnât want to feel panicked every time he heard that name.
They loved each other, any news about Garett would make him feel insecure, and his emotions would go haywire.
Seeing the pain etched in his face, Eleanor couldnât help but reach out and lightly touch his eyes.
âI didnât tell you before because Garett was my first love. Whether it was a good or bad relationship, I shouldnât bring it up. But seeing how scared you are now, I think I should tell you.â
She dropped her hand and let go of Bernard. Then, looking at his handsome face, she spoke softly...
âI broke up with him because his twin brother did something that hurt me very much. This incident severely affected my mental health. I couldnât escape the pain in my nightmares, so I kept calling his name, begging him to stop...â
Hearing this. Bernardâs tense body gradually relaxed, but he looked at Eleanor with disbelief.
âYou.. youâre not lying to me, are you?â
He had always thought that she called Garettâs name in her sleep because she still loved Garett, missed Garett. He had never imagined it was out of fear.
Even after he found out the reason for their breakup, he thought she couldnât let go, thatâs why she was crying out for Garett in her dreams.
If it was just out of fear, then he had misunderstood her all these years. And because of this misunderstanding, he had been so cold to her.
With a mix of shock and deep regret, Bernard grabbed Eleanorâs hand and placed it on his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat as she answered him.
Eleanor looked up at Bernard, his eyes filled with regret, and told him word by word âI didnât lie to you.â
Getting her confirmation, the guilt in Bernardâs eyes deepened.
Had he asked her about it after she woke up from that dream, would they have avoided all these wasted years?
He couldnât find the answer in the past, so all he could do was hold Eleanor close to him.
âIâm sorry, I should have asked you earlier. I shouldnât have let my mind run wild.â
Eleanor shook her head, it was also her fault for not telling him.

However Eleanor lowered her gaze, hesitated for a moment, then spoke âBernard, weâve been through so much, Iâve expressed my love for you so many times. Why do you still feel insecure when it comes to Garett?â

But a lot of times, just mentioning Garettâs name would make him nervous She thought with all theyâd been through, he would understand thal Garett was no longer in her heart.
