Chapter 413


    She hopped out of the vi and quickly got a taxi to the restaurant.


    By the time she got out of the car, it was already dark and drizzling, but it didn’t dampen the cozy vibes


    in the restaurant.


    Eleanor stood by the roadside, watching them.


    The man was wearing a ck suit, leaning back on the sofa, tilting his head slightly, looking at the


    woman across from him….

    And the girl was in a sexy red gown, also lounging on the sofa, staring at the guy and talking.


    Eleanor couldn’t make out their expressions too well. But the atmosphere reminded her of when they


    were together.


    She didn’t want to believe they were on a date


    The fear ate away at her courage. She couldn’t bring herself to go over there.


    She hesitated for a long, long time, but eventually mustered up the courage to walk towards the


    restaurant


    Just as she reached the edge of the road, she saw Bernard suddenly turn his head and look out the


    window.


    Eleanor quickly waved at him, but…


    He was expressionless.


    His cold demeanor made her hand freeze in mid–air.


    She remembered worrying that he would be indifferent after getting what he wanted when she


    agreed to be with him.


    Now he had imed both her body and heart. So, had her fearse true?


    Eleanor slowly lowered her hand, still standing there…


    She clenched her fists, scrutinizing Bernard. She still couldn’t believe he would look at her with such


    cold eyes.


    She doubted he had even seen her and decided to take a few more steps towards him


    But he just nced at her coldly.


    Eleanor froze again when she saw his look. She felt a chill run through her veins…..


    She couldn’t believe the man who had cherished her just three days ago was treating her so coldly


    now.


    The light in her eyes faded. Her courage dissipated. She couldn’t bring herself to take another step….


    But they had ended up once like this because she had shied away time and time again.


    Since she was already in front of him, she should go all out to get an answer…


    Eleanor gathered her courage once more and strode to the restaurant entrance.


    She wanted to barge in and find Bernard, but the security guard stopped her.


    “Miss, this ce has been booked by Ms. Penrod. If you want to enter, please show your invitation.”


    “I’m here to see Ms. Penrod and Mr. Laurence, please let me in…”


    The guard refused to let her pass.


    She could only stand helplessly at the entrance, watching the people inside.


    He kept staring out the window. He must have seen her pleading with the guard, but he remained


    unmoved….


    Tears streamed down Eleanor’s face uncontrobly.


    It happened that the drizzle turned heavier. Raindrops pelted her body.


    Soaked, Eleanor walked up to the floor–to–ceiling window and looked at Bernard.


    After a while, she tiptoed and reached up to knock on the ss.
