Chapter 1314 Eleanor had laid out her cards on the table, and yet the answer she was given was a cold shoulder. She felt a sense of defeat, a smirk playing on her lips, âThere should be a reason for your betrayal, right?â right?â
Sophie clung to Berardâs arm, resting her head on his shoulder, âCanât you see, heâs with me now.â
A scomful laugh escaped Eleanorâs lips, âHow can he be with you when he despises you so much. If you want to get rid of me, just do it. Donât disgust him, or me.â
Sophie didnât seem perturbed by Eleanorâs words, she simply lifted her fair hand and gently caressed her belly, âYes, he despised me once, but things have changed. Iâm bearing his child, so he should bear some responsibility...â
Eleanorâs body, which she had been forcing herself to keep upright, froze instantly. From her hands to her feet, a chill ran through her body. The belief that âhe was doing this to protect meâ collapsed abruptly in her mind.
Her disbelieving gaze moved from Sophieâs smug face to Bernardâs, âTell me itâs not true, and I will believe you.â
Bernard, drenched in cold sweat from the pain, was listening to the ticking of a countdown in his head, simultaneously looking past her face to the red laser sight behind her head.
The crimson glow at the corner of his eye extinguished in the glare of the light, replaced by an even more terrifying icy gaze. âI was drunk, so I made a mistake.â
His words plunged Eleanor into her own personal hell. She tried to claw her way out, but countless hands were pulling her back, dragging her into an endless darkness.
In that moment, she could neither see nor hear anything, all she could hear was the rhythmic beating of her own heart.
So, hearts could still beat, no wonder it hurt so much. It felt as if it was ripped apart, bleeding under the scorching sun, the burning sensation was unbearable, bringing tears to Eleanorâs eyes.
âSo, you want to divorce me not because you have no choice, but because you made a mistake and impregnated another woman, but Bernard...â
Eleanor lifted her chin slightly, forcing back the tears threatening to spill. She stared at the man in front of her who had wronged her, and said, âI am also pregnant.â
For some reason, using the word âalsoâ made her feel like a third wheel. Yet, facing these two people and a divorce agreement, she felt like an outsider.
Eleanor could not help but scoff internally, her eyes still fixed on Bernard. She wanted to see how he would react, but he was just looking at her indifferently.
She had dreamed that Bernard would be overjoyed to learn she was pregnant and would twirl her around in his arms. None of that happened, only indifference and detachment.
His cold gaze was no different from the day he had abandoned her with just a piece of agreement. So, Eleanor understood, he had chosen to abandon her once again, for Sophie.
After a bitter laugh, Eleanor slowly picked up the divorce agreement, flipping it open to the first page. She found herself remembering their wedding vows signed in Ireland.
There was a memorable line: âToday, on February 14th, Valentineâs Day, the groom Bernard, the bride Eleanor, united in matrimony, till death do us part, for a hundred years!
Eleanor, who had etched this vow into her mind, silently smirked, âIt hasnât been a hundred years, and the groom has already broken his word.â
These words caused Bernard to stiffen. He instinctively pushed Sophie away and tried to reach for Eleanorâs hand, but Sophie raised her hand towards the direction of the sniper rifle. Multiple red dots immediately focused on the back of Eleanorâs head, forcing Bernard to retract his hand.
Eleanor, who was looking down at the agreement, didnât see any of this. She just flipped through the pages, as if giving Bernard a chance to stop her.
But when she didnât hear him speak, she knew she couldnât wait any longer.
Eleanor quickly flipped to the last page, fighting back the tears welling up in her eyes. She looked up at Bernard, âOne last question, did you sleep with her because you were drunk, or because you loved her?â
Before Bernard could answer, Sophie answered for him, âWell, he was drunk at first, but then we did it a couple more times, so he must have grown feelings for me...â
Eleanor regarded Sophie with such disdain that she didnât even bother to step on her. She just looked at Bernard, âIs that how it is?â
