Chapter 373 Looking into her beautiful doe eyes, Bernard said, âLet me keep you company while youâre in W Cityâ
Eleanor was taken aback for a second but quickly regained her composure. âMr. Laurence, thatâs not appropriateâ
They had only met because she accidentally drank something, but there was no need to drag it on any further Bernard smirked. Ms Shultz, are you worried that your husband might not approve?â
Eleanor shook her head gently and told him. âMr. Laurence, loving you was exhausting, and I donât intend on repeating past mistakesâ
This was the first time he had heard her say she loved him. Bernardâs heart seemed to stop, and his eyes turned red. Eleanor, Iâve been waiting for you to say that for so many years Eleanor looked up and gave him a small smile. Tve been waiting for you to say you love me too, for so long.
Bernardâs heart ached so much that he could barely breathe He gently touched her cheek and whispered, âSince we both love each other, can we be together again?â
Eleanor corrected him with a smile âMr. Laurence, I used to love you...â
Bernard let out a painful laugh, âYeah, used to...â
No one knew how much he loved her
Why did she only say she used to love him when he finally realized it They had been in love with each other for five years, but he had never noticed He had missed her love for him without ever experiencing it. How could he accept that?
He wasnât willing to give up Tenderly touching Eleanorâs face, he asked passionately, âCan you fall in love with me again, even just a little bit?â
Eleanor smiled and said lightly. Mr. Laurence, we used to love each other, and thatâs enough. We shouldnât be together againâ She didnât want to go back to the despair and helplessness she felt three years ago it was too exhausting Bernardâs eyes reddened. âYou see, I almost forgot, you already have a husband. How could you possibly fall in love with me again...â He slowly controlled his emotions, returning to his usual cold demeanor Ms. Shultz, just forget what i said earlier. It was nonsense Eleanor glanced at him, wanting to explain that it wasnât because of Garrett, but he had already changed the subject. âAre you thirsty?â
She nodded. âYes.â
Her throat was so dry from the medication that it felt like it was on fire, so naturally, she was thirsty Bernard handed her a cup with a straw, intending to help her drink This time, Eleanor didnt let him help and took the cup herself, sipping the water.
Bernard didnât stop her, he just sat quietly beside her, watching her finish the water To him, even if she didnât love him, being by her side like this was a kind of happiness Eleanor looked up after finishing the water, noticing him staring at her. She felt a bit uneasy and looked away.
She lay in bed, and he sat beside her Even though they were so close, it felt like there was an endless distance between them, with neither knowing how to cross this unbridgeable gap They sat there in silence, not talking making the room even quieter Eleanor felt that if she continued to be alone with Bernard, she would feel incredibly suffocated, so she decided to break the silence.
Mr Laurence, how much longer do I have to stay here?â
Seeing her eagerness to leave, Bernards heart ached, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
âEleanor, do you not want to be with me anymore?â
