    Chapter 250


    Bernard’s heart ached, and his eyes grew moist


    It was the st upidest decision he had ever made, and he regretted it many times after they parted.


    Suppressing the pain in his heart, he exined to her, “I once promised my older brother that I would


    marry Sophie”


    Eleanor’s eyes remained calm and indifferent. “So you just gave up on me.”


    Bernard opered his mouth, wanting to argue, but couldn’t find the words.


    Because when their contract ended, he did think about giving her


    up.


    She didn’t even love him, so why force her to stay?


    Besides, due to his brother’s dying wish, he couldn’t give her a proper status.


    Plus, he worried that she’d get hurt if she continued to stay with him…


    Under such crcumstances, he decided to give her up


    Now looking back, it didn’t matter what the reason was in her eyes, he had given up on her without


    hesitation, and he couldn’t argue against that.


    His silence caused Eleanor to sneer. “Bernard, you never loved me. It’s just your possessive nature.”


    Bernard shook his head and said, “1 know the difference between love and possessiveness, Eleanor.


    You can’t deny me like that.”


    Eleanor lowered her head, staring at the arm holding her tightly, her mind drifting for a moment,


    After a while, she said calmly. “If you loved me, you wouldnt be so cold towards me. You treated me


    like Sophie’s substitute, or even just a tool to hel you deal with your sex desire.”


    She turned her head and looked at him coldly. “You told Liana that to you, I was nothing more than a


    tool. You also said not to delude myself into think you’d ever love me. Tell me, how can I believe you


    really love me?”


    Bernard wanted to exin, but Eleanor didn’t let him speak. Also..


    She took a deep breath, and her calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of grievance. “You didn’t hesitate


    to hit me for the sake of your sister and your fiancée. At that moment, you didn’t even look back. If only


    you would have turned around, I wouldn’t have felt so…”


    ut you didn’t even gave my


    As she spoke, the grievance slowly faded, reced by a sense of relief. Before I died, I wanted to see


    you onest time. But you d number. At that moment, I thought to myself that I never wanted to see you


    again in this lifetime.”


    After finishing her words, she smiled at Bernard. ‘Mr. Laurence, I’ve let go of the past, so should you


    Let’s just end this here.” Her words made Bernard feel incredibly stifled and pained


    When she didnt admit to being Eleanor, he still had hope for reconciliation.


    But now, as she calmly said these words, he suddenly felt that the woman in his arms might leave him


    forever.


    He couldn’t hold back the tears any longer, and they slid uncontrobly down his cheeks,nding coldly


    on her neck.


    Eleanor blinked in surprise, looking back at him, but he held her head firmly. As a man, he was too


    proud to let her see his vulnerability.


    After an unknown amount of time had passed in silence Bernard still refused to give up, pleading with


    her. 1 can exin everything.” Eleanor shook her head gently. It doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t mind


    because I never loved you either.”


    Bernard suddenly smiled. “Yeah, you never loved me.


    He let go of Eleanor in despair, sta gge ring a step backward, his eyes red but still fixed on her. “Not


    even a little bit?”


    Eleanor’s eyshes trembled, but she still shook her head calmly.


    The smile at the corner of Bernard’s mouth deepened. Then what do these mean?”


    He took out the letters he always carried with him and showed them to Eleanor, repeatedly asking her


    with swollen eyes, “What do these mean, really?”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
