Chapter 69


    Eleanor looked at Bernard with confusion, unsure of how to respond for a moment. But she felt that he


    had tolerated her for so long, and she owed him at least an exnation.


    After hesitating for a few seconds, she said calmly, “Garett… was someone who once promised to love


    me for a lifetime.”


    Bernard saw that her expression gradually turned somber, as if she was being engulfed in past


    memories.


    His demeanor suddenly became cold, “It seems like you loved him a lot.”


    Eleanor collected her thoughts and replied indifferently, “I used to love him.”


    Bernard pressed on, “And now?”


    “Now?” Eleanor looked at Bernard, observing his tightly pursed lips and thin face. In her heart, she


    wanted to answer, “Now, I love you.” But she didn’t have the courage to say it out loud, nor did she


    believe she had the right to do so.


    She felt she was no longer deserving of him.


    Clenching her hands tightly, she forced a smile and said against her true feelings, “Now, I don’t love


    anyone.”


    In other words, she had never loved him.


    The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. Bernard abruptly extinguished the cigarette and threw


    it out the window.


    As the cigarette hit the ground, his crimson eyes instantly returned to their cold and distant state.


    He opened the car door and said coldly, “Get out.”


    Eleanor nced at him, sensing his disappointment. At that moment, she really wanted to tell him how


    much she loved him, but she was stubborn and wouldn’t reveal her love unless the man said it first.


    She was afraid of getting hurt and being belittled orughed at after pouring her heart into someone.


    She once loved Garett so much, thinking he would always be good to her, but ended up getting hurt


    and almost losing her life.


    Bernard was an even more unattainable man than Garett. She shouldn’t even be thinking about him.


    She knew her ce and would never make the same mistake again Eleanor looked away, stepped out


    of the car without lingering and walked away.


    The car behind her soon vanished into the garage at lightning speed


    The moment the car left, Eleanor stopped, turned and looked back.


    What would Bernard’s reaction be if he knew she was dying? She guessed he’d probably be indifferent;


    someone as cold as him wouldn’t pity her.


    Eleanor lowered her eyes, a wave of sadness washed over her, making her inexplicably upset.


    She drove the business car back to her ce, nning to return it when she went to thepany to


    handle the handover


    tomorrow.


    After taking a shower, she nced at her phone.


    Mr. Law hadn’t replied to her WhatsApp message and hadn’t called again either. She actually breathed


    a sigh of relief, d he didn’t bother her further, or she’d be super tired.


    About to put her phone down, she suddenly remembered Bernard mentioning that Jason was the future


    son-inw of the Laurence family.


    She decided to look up Jason’s information on her phone.


    Turned out, the Clowers family had been intending to make a marriage alliance with the Laurence


    family six months ago.


    Jason would marry Bernard’s cousin, which was also Cedric Laurence’s sister and named Sigrid


    Laurence.


    Sigrid was studying abroad in Y country and would return for her engagement to Jason after


    graduation.


    She hadn’t paid attention to news about Jason before, so she didnt know he had a marriage


    arrangement.

    Seeing this news now, she didn’t feel much turmoil because she and Garett couldn’t go back anyway.


    Whoever he ended up marrying had nothing to do with her.


    Eleanor put down her phone, took some medicine to suppress her heart condition as usual, and then


    set her rm to the maximum volume before going to sleep peacefully.
