    Chapter 568


    Cedric felt a lump in his throat that kept him from speaking


    Bernard gave him another icy nce What, still here?”


    P***d off, Cedric s****d his coat from the se***t, draped it over his shoulders, and turned to leave


    Eleanor quickly stood up and called out to him, “Mr. Laurence, wait a second”


    Cedric, still steaming didn’t want to give Eleanor the time of day, but remembering his brother’s


    warning, he stopped in his tracks.


    He had no choice Since they were kids, who dared disobey Bernard’s orders?


    Eleanor approached Cedric, looked at him earnestly, and exined, “Cedric, don’t get it twisted. I didn’t


    betray your brother. Someone impersonated me to prevent him from 1finding me. It’s all a hoax”


    Cedric looked at the frail Eleanor and asked. Then where have you been for the past six months? Why


    didn’t youe to find him?”


    Eleanor cast her eyes down to her left wrist and truthfully replied, “I was imprisoned by Ethan. I couldn’t


    escape.”


    Cedric was taken aback. No wonder when he told Hailey that Eleanor had betrayed Bernard,


    Hailey never bought it, insisting that Eleanor must have been held captive by Ethan, and that’s why she


    couldn’t return.


    They even had a massive argument about it. Ignoring his advice, Hailey insisted on bringing an


    interpreter to G country to search for Eleanor.


    Then, Hailey heard that Bernard had personally met with Eleanor, and that’s when she returned from G


    country…


    Probably Aidyn had shown her those surveince tapes, audio recordings, and videos, so Hailey


    stopped looking for Eleanor.


    Cedric didn’t know if Hailey was convinced, but when he tried to find her again, she wouldn’t give him


    the time of day.


    And that’s why he held a grudge against Eleanor ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    So when he saw Eleanor just now, he couldn’t control his anger. But it turned out he misunderstood


    her. What now?


    Seeing Cedric in shock, Eleanor quickly smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry, I would never betray your


    brother, because…”


    She nced at the man sitting in the main seat of the dining table, propping his chin on one hand,


    always staring at her, and whispered, “I love him.”


    Upon hearing this public confession, Cedric’s frown deepened


    Great, his brother and Eleanor were finally on the same page, but…


    He hadnt spoken to Hailey for three months because he didn’t trust Eleanor!


    He looked at Eleanor with aplex expression, then at the man in the main seat who was urging him


    to leave with an indifferent look.


    Cedric suddenly felt suffocated, as if these two were somehow messing up his love life.


    He stood there in a daze. At this point, Bernard stepped forward and lifted Eleanor into his arms.


    Not even ncing at his brother, his gaze was fixed on Eleanor’s feet. It’s cold down there, did you


    freeze your feet?”


    Cedric rolled his eyes at the sight of the two inseparable figures. There is underfloor heating


    everywhere, how could you freeze your feet?!


    He awkwardly said to Bernard. Ill be going then”


    The man, who had already sat back down at the table with Eleanor in his arms, didn’t even lift his head,


    instead, he picked up a new pair of spoons, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and


    offered it to Eleanor.


    Eleanor, afraid that Cedric would feel too awkward, quickly waved at him, “Mr. Laurence, take care…“


    Bernard held Eleanor’s chin, straightened her little head, and said indulgently, “Why bother talking to


    him? Just eat your meal”


    Cedric stormed off, pi**d
