Chapter 1259


    After leaving the Sharp family, Eleanor headed straight for Bernard’s car.


    As soon as she got in, she threw herself into Bernard’s arms, holding him tightly, resting her head on


    his chest, taking a deep inhale of his scent, and letting her body rx.


    “Babe, Peterson’s been suspecting me since hest saw me.”


    Bernard gently held her and moved her to sit on hisp, “Don’t worry too much about it.”


    Bernard’s brief reply eased Eleanor’s inner fear.


    She lifted her chin, and Bernard just so happened to lower his head, and they shared a kiss.


    Peterson smirked, while Eleanor was all smiles.


    Bernard looked ahead.


    The driver caught his gaze in the rear-view mirror and immediately lowered the visor.


    Pearce, sitting in the passenger seat, was blocked by the visor and rolled his eyes.


    “Bernard! You domineering jerk! You show-off!” He thought.


    Bernard held Eleanor, kissed her for a whe then stroked her forehead and softly asked, “What was the


    main reason Yates looked for you?”


    He didn’t believe Yates sought her out just for work. There must be another reason.


    Taking a breath, Eleanor replied, “He seemed to want to know who I am.”


    Bernard paused, then said, “You know, Peterson’s eyes… they kind of resemble yours.”


    This surprised Eleanor, who asked, “Are you implying my mom was a child of the Sharp family?”


    Bernard’s expression slightly changed and he answered, “It’s a possibility.”


    Eleanor was in disbelief and retorted, “The Sharp family’s status is simr to yours. If my mom was


    really one of them, how could they not know? Why would they need me to sniff around?”


    Bernard didn’t respond, only asking, “Besides wanting to know about your background, did they do


    anything else?”


    Eleanor shook her head, “Yates just chatted about his first love, and Peterson just suspected I was


    your wife, nothing else.”


    Bernard pondered for a while, Eleanor hugged his neck and said, “Babe, I think the Sharp family


    means no harm, they just want to know who I am.”


    Bernard didn’t care about their intentions, as long as they wouldn’t hurt Eleanor, “Regardless of their


    intentions, just be careful.”


    He didn’t know if the people looking for Eleanor were good or bad, but he wouldn’t let her be in any


    danger, her safety was what he needed to ensure.


    Eleanor felt his concern and gently kissed his forehead, “Babe, don’t worry. Yates doesn’t seem to be


    looking for a rtive. He probably thought I looked like an old/ friend, so he found me through work. But


    after meeting me, he realized I wasn’t that person, so he didn’t make a big deal out of it.”

    Bernard nodded, but still reminded Eleanor, “Regardless, you should be on your guard.”


    Now that things were settled, he should go.and finish his mission. The one he was most worried about


    was Eleanor and could only repeatedly tell her to be careful.


    Eleanor didn’t know that Bernard was about to leave, she casually responded and rubbed her eyes,


    “Babe, I’m gonna take off my contact lenses, they’re ufortable.”


    Bernard let go of Eleanor and picked up the makeup box on his side, handing it to her.


    “Drive slowly,” he said to the driver, but his eyes never left Eleanor, “be careful, don’t hurt your eyes.”


    Eleanor agreed, quickly took off her contact lenses, took out the makeup remover, and cleaned off her


    makeup, revealing a wless, radiant face.


    Seeing Eleanor back to her natural look, Bernard’s eyes darkened. If Eleanor had appeared in front of


    Yates just now with her natural face, he feared…


    He didn’t dare to continue thinking…


    After all, the Sharp family was a business titan too. If Eleanor really was their lost granddaughter, and


    they came forward to recognize her, he had no way to stop it.


    It wasn’t that he didn’t want Eleanor to find her family, but feared that once she found her family, she


    would often stay with them.


    He didn’t want to be apart from her, nor did he want to share Eleanor with anyone, even her rtives.


    But given the current situation, he had to part with her.


    Thinking of this, Bernard’s expression became heavy.


    Seeing this, Eleanor, who was wiping her face, put down the wet wipe, turned her head and asked him,


    “Babe, what’s wrong?”


    Bernard Teached-out, picked her up again, ced her on hisp, and held her tight, “Eleanor, I… have


    to leave for a while.”
