Trom her words. I can sense that there might be some conflict between my mother and youâ
Bernard was already wary of someone stirring up trouble before their wedding but expected it to happen.
He momentanly stared at Eleanorâs face, then tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear âWhat do you think?â
Eleanor clutched the business card in her hand and shook her head.
Seeing her silence, he assumed she was hesitating. He felt a bit imitated.

âBernard, I once promised to marry you. Even if we have a huge conflict, I still marry youâ
