Chapter 880


    Bemard closed his eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation. “Get out.”


    ke sat there, staring nkly at Bemard. “If you don’t agree to a divorce, then I can’t help you hide


    the fact that you have half of the Pine family’s blood”


    Beck had agreed to keep this secret because he gave her 10% of the shares. Now that Bernard has


    taken back the shares, she definitely won’t let it go if she finds out that Bernard isn’t getting a divorce or


    dealing with Eleanor, she’ll spill the beans Then what would Bernard’s position be in the Laurence


    family?


    ke was determined to prevent Bernard from following in his father’s footsteps. He was open to


    Cedric’s advice, willing to temporarily set aside the longstanding grudges between the Pine and


    Laurence families. However, ethical concerns couldn’t be ignored. If this secret were to be revealed, it


    would undoubtedly bring ndicule upon them


    Furthermore, ke was convinced that if these two individuals were to have a child, the child’s health


    would bepromised. Their union was simply not feasible.


    Yet, Bernard boldly asserted that even if she were his sister, he wanted to be with her. This madness


    surpassed even that of his father’s actions


    As ke sat there, awaiting Bernard’s response, he was met with silence. It seemed that Bernard


    disregarded these concerns entirely.


    With a sigh, ke rose from his seat. Upon reaching the door, he paused and nced back at


    Bernard. “Think about it.”


    In the living room, Eleanor and Cedric observed ke’s somber expression as he departed. They


    surmised that the conversation had not gone well


    ke looked exhausted. He was swaying as he walked, like he was about to fall. Cedric immediately


    stood up to help him.


    “Grandpa, are you okay?”


    ke raised his hand and waved it off.


    Clearly, he didn’t want him to know what the secret was, so Cedric didn’t ask any further


    “I’ll take you home”


    ke nodded, and with Cedric’s help, he left Fiord Roundabout.


    Seeing them leave, Eleanor, whose arm was bandaged, walked into the study.


    Bernard was slumped on the sofa, lifeless.


    She hurried over “Honey, what’s wrong?”


    Hearing her voice, Bernard slowly opened his eyes and looked at her arm. He touched her arm. “What


    did Liana say?”


    Eleanor told him the truth. “Liana said it’s just a flesh wound. It will be fine with some pintment.”


    Bernard seemed relieved. “If you feel ufortable, tell me immediately”


    Eleanor nodded. Seeing his pale face, she asked, “Honey, are you okay?”


    Looking into her clear eyes, Bernard didn’t know how to respond, so he just held herjoghtly. He held


    her as if he was afraid he would lose her, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.


    Whenever he held her like this, it meant he was troubled. This unease came from his conversation with


    ke. But she didn’t know what they had discussed.

    Eleanor held him tightly, resting her chin on his shoulder. “Dear, if you have any problems, you must


    tell me. Don’t just tough it out alone.”


    Dear…


    Bernard gave a bitter smile. He was overwhelmed with emotions. He lowered his head and kissed her


    neck gently.


    His kiss was passionate, moving from her corbone up to her lips. He tasted her sweet breath, as if he


    had lost his sanity.


    Eleanor was breathless from his kiss, her body under his control.


    Soon, they were both undressed, and he entered her.


    Suddenly, Bernard felt a wave of guilt. He stared into Eleanor’s dazed eyes and startedughing.
