Chapter 1099


    “Would this be a waste of your time?”


    “I have my own studio, so my schedule’s pretty flexible Plus, my craft designs are on disy all around


    the citytely”


    Once Sigrid made up her mind, she’d get right to it. So she grabbed her bag, ready to leave


    “Let’s go, take me to see Jason”


    Eleanor began to say, but Sigrid interrupted her


    “It’s just a suggestion from me. Whether Jason agrees or not is still unknown. Don’t feel pressured


    about it,” Sigrid said.


    Eleanor was only concerned about potentially causing trouble for herself. This was just an initial


    proposal, and whether it could be realized would depend on Jason’s cooperation Otherwise, discussing


    it here would be mere spection. It would be better to first see how Jason’s situation was


    Given Sigrid’s response, Eleanor refrained from asking further and prepared to get up. As she nced


    at the man sitting beside her, supporting his chin with his hand, she inquired, “Honey, are youing


    with us?”


    Bernard raised an eyebrow, disying an indifferent expression “No, I won’t.”


    He had previously stated that no matter how she took care of Garett, he wouldn’t mind. Since he had


    decided to trust herpletely, he would set aside any doubts


    “Then I’ll be back home in two hours,” Eleanor said, lifting her wrist with the watch in front of him and


    shaking it slightly


    Bernard’s gaze filled with affection as he gently nodded. The four of them went downstairs, and just as


    Hailey was about to get into the car, Bernard called her over


    “Ms. Vulpe, can you do me a favor?” he asked.


    Hailey released her grip on the car door and turned to look at Bernard. “What do you need help with?”


    Bernard looked at his phone with a meaningful gaze, then spoke


    “Chase just texted me, said Cedric got drunkst night and hasn’t woken up. Chase is dealing with


    urgent matters and doesn’t have time to pick him up. He asked me to do


    With that, Bernard paused, pushing his sses up the bridge of his nose. I have to go to the branch


    office, I don’t have time either. Could you, Ms. Vulpe, help me pick him up?”


    Hailey was puzzled. Anyone could do this favor, but Bernard asked only her. She was a bit at a loss.


    L‘


    Before Hailey could refuse, Bernard had already sent her the address.


    “Ms. Vulpe, I owe you one”


    Bernard put away his phone, thanked her, and got in the car


    Hailey stared at the car that sped away, holding her phone, standing there dazed


    In the car, Sigrid saw Hailey’s hesitation, locked the car door first, then rolled down the window


    “Hailey, go pick up my brother. My sister–inw and I can go see Jason alone.”


    “But…”


    Before Hailey could finish her sentence, Sigrid stepped on the gas and drove off. Watching the two cars


    speeding away and realizing she had no car of her own, Hailey stomped her foot in frustration. “You


    guys at least you could have dropped me off at the subway station!”

    Signd suddenly realized that she could have dropped her off near her apartment or called a cab for her


    But when she looked back, Hailey was gone.


    Eleanor texted Hailey asking where she was. Hailey quickly replied with a meme indicating she was


    upset, then didn’t respond anymore.


    “Great, I’ve annoyed my future sister inw, Sigrid said


    Putting down her phone, Eleanor turned to Sigrid and asked, “How do you know Hailey will be your


    sister–inw?”


    The attractive Signd nced at Eleanor through the rearview mirror, pondering her question.


    “That’s women’s intuition”


    Eleanor rested her elbow on the car window, chin propped on her palm, lost in thought


    If Hailey became her brother–inw’s wife, what should Bernard call Cedric?


    As she pondered this question, their car had already stopped outside the Clowers Manor


    Garett was still sitting in the garden, waiting for Eleanor’s arrival


    When he saw that Eleanor had brought Sigrid, his expression was a bit stiff


    He calmly led the two into the living room, then asked Yilia to make coffee and desserts for them.


    After chatting for a while. Eleanor awkwardly began, “Garett, you should know Ms. Laurence. She used


    to have depression too, but she’s better now I brought her here to see you”


    Eleanor genuinely wanted to help him, Garett could feel her good intentions. Looking at Sigrid again,


    his expression wasn’t as frosty, “Ms Laurence and I are not the same.


    right?”


    After taking a sip of her coffee, Sigrid gracefully replied, “If I were not the same as you, I wouldn’t be


    here.”


    Because they were the same, she had the confidence to try to persuade Jason But from the moment


    Jason walked in the door, his deep gaze never left Eleanor. He seemed to be more in love with her


    than she was with him, no wonder his condition was so serious.


    Garett actually didn’t care about his depression, because to him, the disease was nothing more than


    insomnia at night and constant fantasies of his own death. All he had to do was hang in there. But


    since Eleanor cared so much about him, how could he disappoint her? “Does Ms. Laurence have any


    good treatment methods?”
