Chapter 234


    The stick hit really felt like a wham on Eleanor, scaring her to step back. identally, she stepped on a


    rock.


    Almost falling, a slender hand behind her caught her waist and steadied her just in time.


    She looked back and saw Bemard’s cold gaze on Ethan, making her jittery.

    Bernard’s status was something Ethan probably wouldn’t want to mess with She quickly broke free


    from Bernard and, gathering her courage, took Ethan’s hand.


    *…Honey, stop hitting, let’s go home. ”


    Honey?


    Ethan put away the stick, giving her an unhappy side–eye, as if saying, “What the hell are you babbling


    about?”


    At this point, Eleanor couldn’t care less. Grasping his arm, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, “Just


    y along”


    Ethan, however, uncooperatively replied. “You got yourself into this trouble, figure it out on your own”


    Eleanor, growing anxious, whispered, “If he takes me away, it’s like taking away my sister’s heart.”


    Ethan had no way


    He put down the baseball bat, finallypromising. “Let’s go.”


    Seeing him cooperate, Eleanor held his arm tightly and turned to leave.


    “Don’t go!”


    A cold voice made Ethan stop in his tracks.


    Eleanor tugged at his arm, telling him, “Just ignore him”


    But Ethan didn’t want to leave anymore. He turned around and spun the baseball bat in his hand, then


    looked at Bernard with a raised chin.


    “You hurt my wife, I let it slide, and you’re still riding high. Who the hell do you think you are?”


    Bernard didn’t take Ethan seriously at all. He walked up to Eleanor and extended his hand. “Come with


    me.”


    Before Eleanor could refuse, Ethan suddenly embraced her by the shoulders, pressing her to his chest,


    and challenged Bernard, ‘On what grounds?” Seeing her holding Ethans arm and him holding her


    shoulders, both tightly pressed together, Bernard was suddenly filled with rage.


    “Because I love her!”


    His voice trembled but still rang clear and bright. It seemed as if the eight years of restraint had erupted


    at this moment.


    Seeing the look in Bernard’s eyes, Ethan seemed to realize something. He lowered his head to look at


    Eleanor, who he was holding.


    The woman in his arms showed no emotion, as if she had just heard a joke. She smirked and shrugged


    it off.


    Ethan did not let her go. Instead, he held his head high and told Bernard, “You’re toote, she’s already


    married to me”


    Was he toote?


    Bernard sneered and yanked Eleanor away.


    Pressing her shoulder, he looked down at her, “Eleanor, I’ve loved you for eight years. Can you stop


    punishing me like this..?”


    She could hit him, curse him, hate him, and never forgive him. Anything but using another man to


    provoke him. He couldn’t take)


    Eleanor scoffed in her heart, “Love me? For eight years? I had no idea”


    Those past memories kept reying in her mind, but there was never a trace of love, only his coldness


    and indifference.


    He had clearly never loved her, so why im now that he had for eight years? Who would believe this?


    She would rather die than have anything to do with him as Eleanor. Her face remained emotionless.


    looked at him coldly, “Sir, tonight’s farce should end. We’ve reached our limit of tolerance for you”


    With that, she ruthlessly pushed away his hand on her shoulder and walked towards Ethan, “Let’s go.”


    Ethan’s gaze chifted, taking hold of Eleanor’s hand as they walked towards the car,


    This time, Bernard did not stand in their way. Instead, with tearful eyes, he watched the two of them


    hand in hand, walking away.
