Chapter 134
Eleanor originally planned to wait until she recovered before telling him about her leaving, but since he
asked proactively, she took the opportunity to speak up.
“He asked to see me, and it seems quite urgent. Can you please send me back, Mr. Laurence?”
“Are you in a hurry to see him?*
Bernard looked down on her, his delicate face under the light revealing a cold and sinister air that made
her shiver.
Yes.”
Eleanor was somewhat afraid of him but nodded reluctantly.
Even if not for seeing Jason, she wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.
Bernard was about to get engaged to Sophie, and it was not appropriate for her to stay overnight at his
house.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreviously, she had been moved by the tenderness he showed and forgotten that he had a fiancée.
Now completely sober, she felt she should not continue to get involved with a man who is engaged.
Her expression was calm with a hint of anxiety, seemingly eager to leave.
Seeing her like this, the complexity in Bernard’s eyes slowly faded away, replaced by coldness.
“Just one day apart, and you miss him so much? Seems like you guys fell in love with each other
again?”
Facing his mockery, Eleanor didn’t bother to explain and lowered her long lashes, hiding her
displeasure.
Seeing her silent, Bernard’s face darkened further, and his grip on her chin tightened uncontrollably.
“Didn’t you say you don’t love him? Why are you getting back together with him?”
Eleanor tolerated the pain on her chin and smirked at Bernard.
“I don’t even love you yet I was your lover for years. Why can’t I get back together with him?”
Not sure which words angered Bernard, but he was left speechless.
Eleanor glanced at him and saw his eyes gradually turning from cold to a fiery red.
Her heart trembled for a moment before quickly suppressing the affection she had for him..
But at that moment, Bernard suddenly leaned in, pressing her down on the bed, his thin lips hovering
just above hers.
He didn’t touch her, but such close contact reignited her feelings that she had just managed to
suppress.
“I warned you, Jason is the future son–in–law of the Laurence family, and yet you still dare to be with
him!”
“Do you think that after he broke off the engagement, you had a chance and so you were eager to get
back with him?”
If it weren’t for the fact that she heard from him directly that his feelings for her were limited to physical
needs, Eleanor might have thought he was jealous.

Fortunately, she no longer held any expectations for Bernard, so his words no longer affected her.
“Mr. Laurence, you know I want to marry a rich man. When my ex came to me, of course I’d be
tempted.”
“As for your warning, you said he will be the future son–in–law, but things in the future… aren’t certain,
right?”
Her indifferent counter–question made Bernard feel that she was shameless!
No wonder she moved into Jason’s house after learning about his broken engagement and even went
to the hotel with him. That was he goal!
Did she think that as long as she held onto Jason, she could disregard the Laurence family or even not
care about him?
She was blatantly provoking him, but what was he doing?
He stared at her pale face, wanting to choke her to death, but… he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Eleanor, you really can’t distinguish right from wrong…”
After a long silence, he left these words and angrily slammed the door as he left.
