Chapter 68 She looked aloof and cold, as if trying to draw a clear line between them, which made Bernard chuckle slightly His expression was full of disdain and even mockery, completely different from his gentle demeanor just now.
âDo you think I did it for you?â
He grabbed her cheek with one hand, âTake a look at yourself now, whatâs so attractive about you?â
Eleanor frowned, puzzled, and asked, âThen why did you just...â
Bernard snorted coldly, âThe man youâre trying to seduce now is the future sonâinâlaw of the Laurence family. I just wanted you to give up on him.â
Jason is the future sonâinâlaw of the Laurence family?
Eleanorâs doubts were all gone.
She had felt something was off about Bernard just now, so he wanted her to give up on Jason and deliberately confused her.
She wasnât angry but relieved instead.
She was actually quite scared that Bernard might have other feelings for her that she couldnât bear nor accept.
This was just fine.
She looked at his cold and emotionless face and smiled, âSince M. Clowers is the future sonâinâlaw of the Laurence family, I wonât seduce him.â
Bernardâs furrowed eyebrows relaxed.
After a moment of silence, he said coldly. âStay away from Jason.â
Eleanor obediently nodded, even if he didnât remind her, she would maintain some distance with that guy. She still wanted to live a good life for a while.
Bernard didnât say anything else, and his gloomy expression gradually returned to cold and distant.
Eleanor saw that he seemed to have no desire to stay with her after completing his warning mission, so she hastily mustered the courage to say, âMr.
Laurence, could you please take me back? Iâm scared out here in the middle of nowhere.â
Bernard didnât even look at her but started the car and drove her back to the hotel garage at high speed.
Eleanor felt grateful to see him taking her back, âThank you.â
After giving her thanks, she tried to push the door open, but the lock was still on.
She turned to Bernard and whispered, âCan you please unlock the door?â
Bernard didnât respond. He took out a thin cigarette, lit it, and placed it gently on his lips, inhaling softly.
Eleanor remembered that he didnât smoke before. How come he picked up the habit in less a month?
He also seemed to have lost some weight, and there was a hint of dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadnât been sleeping well.
Had something bad happened to him recently?
As Eleanor covertly observed him, he suddenly turned his head to look at her.
âWho is Garett?â
Eleanor was stunned, Bernard knew about Garett?
âYouâve called his name in your sleep many times.â
He emphasized the last few words heavily, seemingly displeased about it.
He had investigated Garett before but found no information as if it had been deliberately erased. So, he gave up on searching further.
Now he really wanted to know who Garett was that made her unable to forget even in her dreams.
Eleanor didnât expect to have called Garettâs name in her sleep. She suddenly remembered when they had just signed the loverâs agreement, Bernard would stay with her after they made love.
But not long after, he stopped accompanying her.

At that time, she thought Bernard was disgusted with her. It turned out that he stopped spending the night because she had called Garettâs name in her sleep.
Eleanor was a bit shocked. Bernard had an obsession with cleanliness.
Knowing that she had loved someone else, he still put up with her for five years. During that time, he must have been so uncomfortable when facing her.
