Chapter 404 In the swimming pool, ripples danced on the clear water surface.
The man pinned the woman against the pool wall, his charming voice breaking the silence, âEleanor, you havenât said you love me yetâ
Saying âI love youâ was a promise. Once spoken, it was like a pledge to the one you love.
Eleanor, lacking courage, looked at the bright moonlight in the night sky, feeling a bit lost.
Bemard, hugging the woman tightly in front of him, quietly waited for her to say âI love youâ, but the response never came.
He chuckled bitterly, âGuess I was asking for too much.â
Eleanor opened her mouth to say something, but the man had already lifted her up, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her back to the bathroom.
That night, Bemard didnât say much, just held her tightly from behind, as though that was enough.
Eleanor glanced back at him a few times, but he seemed quiet. It wasnât until she was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, that he slowly opened his eyes.
He gently stroked her back, coaxing her to sleep. âEleanor, go to sleep. Iâll take you somewhere tomorrowâ
Eleanor slowly fell asleep to his whispers and entered a restless dream.
She couldnât remember the dream, but she woke up looking a bit dazed.
Bemard didnât notice her wellâhidden emotions. After feeding her breakfast, he took her to the horseâriding ground.
Eleanor thought they were just going to ride horses and relax, so she only put on light makeup. Little did she know he was taking her to meet his friends.
Bemardâs friends were all nobles from around the world, including some of mixed rac They were all very tall,goodâlooking, and very nice to her.
After exchanging a few words with them, Eleanorâs view was blocked by a tall figure.
Bernardâs actions made one of the guys laugh, âThe more nervous you are, the more likely you are to lose. Chillax.â

The guy patted his shoulder and waved to the others, âGentlemen, now that weâve seen the lady. Letâs give them some space.â
The bunch of noble in their riding gear finally looked away from Eleanor, grabbed ther black helmets, and headed to the horse range.
When they left, Eleanor looked up at Bernard in surprise, âYou have friends?â
Hearing this, Bernard said, âWhat? You think I shouldnât have friends?â
Realizing her words might have been misunderstood, Eleanor quickly waved her hands to explain, âNo, I just thought youâre usually...â
His usual aura made people keep their distance.
It was hard to believe that someone with such a cold demeanor, who rarely spoke of laughed, could actually have friends.
Bernard hugged her tight, bending down to tell her, âChildren from noble families start mingling from a young age. Thatâs how I met them.â
Eleanor nodded slightly, thinking to herself that Bernardâs noble background was totally different from her own.
Whether he liked to talk or laugh, he only needed to stand there and children of nobles or the rich would approach him.
Eleanor felt a bit inferior but quickly hid it, âYour friends even ride horses with a gentlemanâs grace.â
Seeing her gaze fixed on the men, Bernardâs face turned cold.
He grabbed Eleanorâs chin, forcing her to look only at him, then proudly said, âYou probably havenât seen my riding skills...â
Seeing the defiance in his eyes, Eleanor couldnât help but laugh. âThen when will you chow me?â
