Chapter 1433


    He was restraining himself like a caged beast, his eyes burning a deep crimson as he fixed his gaze on


    Eleanor.


    “Honey, after the baby’s born and you’ve recovered, I might not be able to hold back anymore.”


    Being a man used to appeasing his every whim, Bernard required an intense frenzy of experiences to


    attain true satisfaction.


    Gentle caresses like this were merely a small constion, but they left him feeling all the more pent-up.


    Eleanor lifted her hazy eyes, looking into Bernard’s desireden gaze.


    Suddenly, she remembered a night of being tossed and turned seven times and shivered involuntarily.

    “Can we not?”


    At her words, he deliberately paused, raising his long fingers to capture her chin.


    “Do you want this, or not?”


    Already stirred by desire, Eleanor, slightly embarrassed, stubbornly said she didn’t.


    Bernard’s eyes became even redder, “Honey, say ‘no’ one more time.”


    Just as Eleanor opened her mouth to speak, the tall and proud man leaned in again, kissing her in that


    extraordinarily sensitive spot.


    “Mmm…” She couldn’t help but make a sound, inappropriate as it was, signaling her surrender.


    “Stop, please… I can’t take it anymore…”


    Bernard moved his ear closer, nuzzling her neck, “Honey, I want to hear you ask for it.”


    Eleanor felt it wasn’t the act itself she couldn’t handle, but Bernard’s teasing persistence..


    “I won’t say it.”


    He wanted what he wanted, and yet he insisted on making her voice it aloud. He might have a thick


    skin, but she was mortified, “Are you sure?”


    “Yes, I’m sure!”


    “Alright…”


    It wasn’t long before Eleanor capitted.


    Clinging to Bernard’s waist, she lowered her head, “I want you…”


    Bernard’s lips curled into an indulgent smile, “Alright…”


    Two times in a roll, Eleanor was exhausted. It was Bernard who carried her to another clean, dry bed


    where she finally drifted off into a deep sleep.


    Bernard didn’t sleep; instead, he held his wife in his arms, gently patting her back, coaxing her into


    dreams. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to sleep; he simply couldn’t. Partly because his passion was not


    yet spent, and partly because he feared these moments were too fleeting.


    The happier Bernard felt, the more prone he was to worry. He feared what would be of Eleanor


    and their child if he were to leave this world first.


    His eyes drifted toward the window where the moonlight cast a serene glow on the sill, a glow that


    couldn’t reach the depths of his troubled heart.


    The next day at noon, Cedric called, and Eleanor, with bleary eyes, looked toward the man on the


    phone.


    “What? She’s inbor?”


    Hearing about thebor, Eleanor immediately guessed it was Hailey, and signaled Bernard to put the


    call on speaker. Cedric’s frantic voice filled the room, “Yeah, her water broke. She’s been rushed to the


    delivery room. What should I do? What can I do?” “I don’t know.” Bernard’s response was nonchnt,


    which only served to calm Cedric for a moment.


    In his life, he had never encountered such an indifferent person! His wife was giving birth, and his


    brother was thisposed? Clearly, he had forgotten that Hailey was his wife, not Bernard’s.


    Cedric, don’t panic, Eleanor said, more anxiously than Bernard “Notify your family to help, and Bernard


    and I will be right there.


    Cedric, soothed by Eleanor, felt a momentary warmth and reassurance, “My parents are already on


    their way, and my sister ising, as well as my little sister, and our cousins…”


    Cedric was clearly in a state of disarray, rattling off names, and Eleanor tried to interrupt him several


    times without sess.


    A bit helpless, Bernard stretched out his long finger and ended the call, then pulled back the nkets


    and fetched clothes for Eleanor to wear.


    “The Laurence family won’t let anything happen to Hailey. You can rest easy.”


    Cedric might be unreliable, but Veronica was dependable. With her there, Hailey was sure to be fine.


    As Bernard predicted, they had just boarded their private jet when Cedric called with good news,


    “Hailey’s given birth!”


    “What? She’s already given birth?!”


    Eleanor and Bernard were surprised, considering they had only been traveling from the hotel to the


    airport for forty minutes.


    “The doctor said Hailey’s in good health, so the birth was quick.”


    “And how is Hailey? Is she alright?”


    While Eleanor was happy for Hailey, she also immediately worried about her health.


    “Don’t worry, she’s fine. She’ll be out soon.”


    Relieved that Hailey was okay, Eleanor asked the next important question.


    “Is it a boy or a girl?”


    Now that they knew the mother was fine, the next concern was the gender of the babies.


    “She had twins, a boy and a girl, isn’t that amazing?!”


    Hearing about the twins, the couple nced at each other and Eleanor responded.


    “Amazing indeed.”


    “That’s my wife, of course she’s amazing!”


    “Eleanor, let me tell you, my wife, she…” Cedric began to boast endlessly about his wife. Annoyed,


    Bernard took the phone and said coldly, “I hope they don’t resemble you at all.”
