Chapter 214


    Jason bought a bouquet of flowers and arrived at the cemetery. Before he had walked over, he spotted


    a tall and upright figure in the distance, kneeling alone in front of a tombstone. The man’s hair was


    disheveled, his face so pale itcked any color, and he looked so haggard that Jason could barely


    recognize him.


    Jason thought that Bernard wanted to say something to Eleanor, so he stopped in his tracks. However,


    after waiting for a long time, Bernard didn’t utter a word, but simply stared at the portrait in silence.


    Jason then resumed walking and ced the flowers in front of the tombstone.


    Sensing someone’s arrival, Bernard’s eyshes fluttered slightly but he didn’t raise his head, as if he


    knew who hade. The two men stood in front of the tombstone, looking at the portrait, not saying a


    word to each other, and neither showed any hostility to drive the other away


    After a lengthy silence, Jason was the first to speak. Did you love her?” A pang of regret made Bernard


    feel as though he was falling into an abyss. He lifted his trembling hand and pressed hard on his right


    wrist until blood began to seep out, which seemed to alleviate his pain somewhat


    Seeing the wound on Bernard’s wrist, Jason seemed to understand something. “It seems like you loved


    her. Bernard remained silent, his lips pursed, pressing harder on his wrist. Jason took a look at him but


    didn’t stop him from hurting himself. Instead, he continued to ask, “Do you think she loved you?”


    Bernard finally lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring at Jason. The one she loved, it was always


    you.” Over the past five years, in her sleep, she had always called out for Garett, never once for him.


    How could she possibly love him? However, the few words she left him made him believe that she


    might have had feelings for him, but nothing more than that.


    Jason suddenly felt that Bernard was pitiful, unable to decipher Eleanor’s thoughts, no wonder he was


    so cold towards her. He didn’t intend to tell Bernard the truth, instead, he let him live in the pain of


    falsely believing that Eleanor didn’t love him.

    Jason ceased to talk to Bernard, pulled out a wedding photo from his suit pocket, and ced it in front


    of Eleanor’s tombstone. He looked at Eleanor’s portrait, whispering softly, “Eleanor, I’ve kept my


    promise, I brought you home as my wife. From now on, you’re my wife.”


    Seeing the wedding photo, Bernard’s face went even paler, “You… you married her? Seeing Bernard’s


    shock, Jason couldn’t help but smile, “She was always mine, what’s wrong with us getting married?


    Bernard picked up the wedding photo, when he saw the smiles of Eleanor and Jason on it, jealousy


    drove him mad. Like a madman, he tore the wedding photo into pieces, then with red eyes, he shouted


    hysterically at Jason, “She’s not yours, she’s mine, I don’t allow you two to get married!”


    He ripped the wedding photo, but Jason wasn’t angry, he just watched him calmly. “When she was by


    your side, you had plenty of chances to give her the status of a wife, but you only allowed her to be a


    lover. It was you who hurt her, what right do you have to stop me from marrying her?”


    This sentence were like numerous sharp knives piercing Bernard’s heart. He tried desperately to


    control his emotions, only to find that the more he controlled, the more he copsed. It was as if he had


    been pushed into an unrecoverable abyss, suffering unbearably.


    Jason saw his state, showed no sympathy instead, he squatted down next to him with one knee on the


    ground, He looked straight into Bernard’s eyes. which were so red they were almost in tears, and said


    word by word, “You know what, I never slept with her.”
