Chapter 1361 Eleanor left the airport and went back to her pre-marriage villa. She sat at her desk, contemplating her and Bernardâs future.
She couldnât come up with anything, so she texted Aidyn, asking if he had found the address yet. Aidyn replied he hadnât.
With each passing day, she feared Bernard would be in greater danger, especially after what had happened with Katharine. Her heart was filled with uncertainty.
However, she had a touch more rationality than Katharine. Perhaps it was because of her experiences that she had grown stronger over time.
As she sat daydreaming at her desk, there was a knock at the door. It was the Sharp brothers. They asked if she had made up her mind yet.
Eleanor refused them again. The Sharp brothers didnât say much, and they just told her to rest well.
The next day, they sent people with all sorts of gifts, from luxury goods to health supplements, you name it. Even Bevisâ wife came to visit and cooked for her. They even brought their child to keep her company. Their eagerness was hard to refuse.
As she hesitated. Yates himself came. He didnât bring gifts like the others, he brought shares of the Sharp family business.
He looked as dapper as the first time they met, with his white hair and suit. He was a picture of health and vitality, not like a man in his seventies.
Eleanor, despite everything, respected him. She welcomed him in and made tea.
âI actually donât like tea.â He preferred coffee.
Eleanor paused mid-pour, her clear eyes glanced at him, âI only have tea in my house. Either you drink it, or you stay thirsty.â
Challenged by her, Yates didnât fuss. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and began to look around her house, âThe style is not bad, but it lacks the warmth of the little courtyard house you designed yourself.â
Eleanor didnât respond, she just continued to make tea.
Yates put down his tea cup and watched Eleanor.
âMy plan is for you to live in that little courtyard house, and when your child is born and grows up, I will take him fishing by the river, what do you think?â
Eleanor picked up a pinch of tea with tweezers, dropped it into the teapot, and then looked up at Yates, âI donât think much of it.â
If it had been one of the Sharp brothers, Yates would have been furious. But looking at a face that was so similar to Paulineâs, he actually began to smile, âMy granddaughter, you have a similar temperament to your grandmother, always challenging me with your words.â
âThat may be because you are not very likable?â
âAnd what does it take to be likable?â
Eleanor didnât know how to respond to that.
âWhy donât you like me?â Yates asked again.
âHow do you know I donât like you?â
âYour eyes show your dislike for me.â
Yates, with his authoritative aura, tilted his head slightly, observing Eleanor who was avoiding his gaze, âWhy?â
âThere is no reason.â After replying, she felt there was no need to beat around the bush with Yates and looked up again.
âYou couldnât marry Pauline, but you seduced her, got her pregnant, then turned around and engaged in a business marriage. Have you ever considered her and your childrenâs feelings?â
If it werenât for Yates, her mother wouldnât have had to remarry, nor would she have been abandoned on the streets. All this tragedy was caused by the irresponsibility of this man.
âSo you are blaming me.â Regret flashed in Yate aged eyes as he looked back at the past.
âIt was my fault. I thought that once my business partnership with my legal wife ended, I could divorce and marry Pauline. But I forgot Pauline was a woman of strong character.â
And he shouldnât have tampered with her first love. But when he was young, he saw her among many women and fell in love. He wanted her desperately.
Later, Pauline fell in love with him too, deeply in love. But she couldnât overcome her guilt towards her first love and decided to leave him with their children...
Yates remembered those days without her as a madman, searching for her everywhere. In the end, all he found was her violated and torn body.
