Chapter 1261
Eleanor wasn’t exactly sure how strong Bernard’s sense of duty was, she was just worried about him,
“Your missions before only took a day or two, but this one will take a month. It must be dangerous,
right?”
Bemard tried to soothe her, “Well, it is a bit risky, but trust me, I’ll be fine.”
Eleanor didn’t buy it, “Then take me with you.”
ミ
With a helpless grin, Bernard ruffled her hair, “Honey, it’s dangerous out there, not really suitable for
you.”
Eleanor understood. Bernard couldn’t take her along. She just wanted to be a bit defiant.
But she knew she couldn’t cause him trouble just because she wanted to be stubborn.
She weakly gripped his shirt, her cheek against his chest, “I feel so useless.”
All she could do was wait for him at home, it felt so useless!
Bernard gave a faint smile, his eyes filled with affection, “My life wouldn’t mean a thing without you.”
If she wasn’t around, his life would be in boring. Eleanor brought meaning to his life, how could she
be useless?
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
She was supposed to be the oneforting him, but instead, he wasforting her. Eleanor felt sorry
for the man who loved her unconditionally, “Honey, I’m giving you a month. If you don’t return,e
looking for you.”
They were husband and wife, bound together in life and death. But Bernard refused, “If I don’t return in
a month, I’ll make sure someone lets you know I’m safe. You absolutely can’te looking for me.”
This meant that the one-month deadline was just tentative. Bernard might not return within a month.
Eleanor felt a sinking feeling, “If you don’t return in a month, I’ll
remarry.”
Bernard felt a sudden stab of pain. He was deeply hurt, “Eleanor, I know you’re trying to threaten me, to
make me return on time. I promise you I will, but if there are any idents, I might be dyed. But that
doesn’t mean I won’te back. Can’t you… wait a little longer for me?”
How could Eleanor not wait for him? Whether he was gone a month or a year, she would wait. But she
couldn’t say that. She knew she was the most important person in Bernard’s life. She wanted to remind
him that if he didn’te back, he would lose her, and that would make him return earlier.
Bernard knew Eleanor was saying this to make hime back sooner, but he also thought that if
something really happened to him, her remarrying wouldn’t be a bad idea, at least she’d be able to live
on, instead of doing something stupid for him. But the moment this thought crossed his mind, Bernard
felt a crushing pain in his heart, it was so intense he could barely breathe.
Seeing his face turn pale from the pain, and the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, Eleanor’s
resolve crumbled and she clung tightly to Bernard, “Honey, I didn’t mean what I said, whether you
return in a month or not, I won’t remarry, I just want you toe back on time…”
Sobbing, she repeated thest sentence over and over, like a child who had done something wrong,
lost and not knowing what to do, all she could do was cry, cry and cry….
Eleanor’s soft whimpering turned into uncontroble sobbing, which made Bernard’s eyes well up with
tears. He held Eleanor tightly. He had manyforting words to say, but when it came to it, all he could
say was, “Don’t cry.”
Don’t cry, I’m here.
Don’t cry, I’lle back.
Eleanor could ept the parting, but because Bernard was going to be away for a month, she cried all
night long.
She couldn’t treat this one month like a business trip because she knew how dangerous Bernard’s
mission was. Even though he didn’t say where he was going or what he was doing, she could sense
that this goodbye might change the course of their lives, which made her feel uneasy.
Bernard felt the same way. But when he thought of the members of the Siren Organization who died
one after another, and Sophie’s sharp gaze on Eleanor, he had to go.
But he didn’t know how to express all these, all he could do was repeatedlyfort Eleanor, “Honey,
don’t worry, it’s just a mission, nothing to be scared of, don’t cry..
