Chapter 1094
Bemard’s heart seemed to stop dead in its tracks. His blood felt like it had turned to ice in his wins. His
hands, clutching her so tightly, had also turned cold He looked down in disbelief at the woman in his
arms, his mouth gaping open as if to ask her something but no words came out
He remembered distinctly when he held her close, she told him she only loved him Then why on earth
did she scream out Garett’s name in her sleep?
Was it because could it be that Eleanor herself didn’t realize she had feelings for Garett buried deep
down inside her?
If that was the case, what’s the ratio?
Did she love him more or less than Garett?
Bemard stiffened. Eleanor quickly looked up at him, her face pale. “Honey, L
Before she could finish her sentence, Bernard grabbed her wrist tightly “Whose name did you just call
out in your sleep?”
His grip was strong, Eleanor’s wrist was fragile. His grip hurt her.
Eleanor bore the pain and continued, “Honey, I wasn’t actually asleep. I was thinking about something
that happened with Garett today, and I said his name. I didn’t want to upset you, so I stopped talking
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’m sorry for the misunderstanding, but I wasn’t calling out his name in my sleep”
Bernard’s grip on her wrist loosened slowly His face was still pale, as if he was back to the days when
hearing Garett’s name from her lips felt like a stab to his heart. This pain made him push Eleanor away.
He threw off the blankets, got out of bed, and absentmindedly threw on a shirt. He went to his desk,
pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. Just as he was about to light one, Eleanor’s hand
stopped him.
The lights in the room were off, only the moonlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting
a soft glow on them. In the dim light, they stared at each other, one looking down, the other up.
Finally, Eleanor reached out and wrapped her arms around Bernard’s waist, pulling him close. “Have I
ever told you why I call out Garett’s name in my sleep?”
Bernard didn’t answer, but he was desperate to know the reason. He didn’t want to hear her call out
Garett’s name in the middle of the night again. He didn’t want to feel panicked every time he heard that
name.
They loved each other, any news about Garett would make him feel insecure, and his emotions would
go haywire.
Seeing the pain etched in his face, Eleanor couldn’t help but reach out and lightly touch his eyes.
“I didn’t tell you before because Garett was my first love. Whether it was a good or bad relationship, I
shouldn’t bring it up. But seeing how scared you are now, I think I should tell you.”
She dropped her hand and let go of Bernard. Then, looking at his handsome face, she spoke softly…
“I broke up with him because his twin brother did something that hurt me very much. This incident
severely affected my mental health. I couldn’t escape the pain in my nightmares, so I kept calling his
name, begging him to stop…”
Hearing this. Bernard’s tense body gradually relaxed, but he looked at Eleanor with disbelief.
“You.. you’re not lying to me, are you?”
He had always thought that she called Garett’s name in her sleep because she still loved Garett,
missed Garett. He had never imagined it was out of fear.
Even after he found out the reason for their breakup, he thought she couldn’t let go, that’s why she was
crying out for Garett in her dreams.
If it was just out of fear, then he had misunderstood her all these years. And because of this
misunderstanding, he had been so cold to her.
With a mix of shock and deep regret, Bernard grabbed Eleanor’s hand and placed it on his heart,
letting her feel his heartbeat as she answered him.

“I didn’t lie to you.”
Getting her confirmation, the guilt in Bernard’s eyes deepened.
Had he asked her about it after she woke up from that dream, would they have avoided all these
wasted years?
He couldn’t find the answer in the past, so all he could do was hold Eleanor close to him.
“I’m sorry, I should have asked you earlier. I shouldn’t have let my mind run wild.”
Eleanor shook her head, it was also her fault for not telling him.
However
Eleanor lowered her gaze, hesitated for a moment, then spoke
“Bernard, we’ve been through so much, I’ve expressed my love for you so many times. Why do you still
feel insecure when it comes to Garett?”
It was normal for him to feel jealous and insecure when she helped Garett wipe his face today. But a lot
of times, just mentioning Garett’s name would make him nervous
She thought with all they’d been through, he would understand thal Garett was no longer in her heart.
But he still felt insecure, not a bit less.
