Chapter 603
She initially thought Bernard was just dropping her off at Hailey’s villa and then head off to the
Lawrence Group To her surprise, he followed her into the villa
Seeing Bernard, her nanny Marina was over the moon She welcomed him into the living room as if he
were her own son in law
“Mr. Laurence, please make yourself at home 11 whip up some coffee for you
Marina cast a glance at Bernard before encouraging Eleanor with a thumbs–up and a look that said
“You go, girl
Eleanor rubbed her forehead slightly and walked over to Bernard, “Bernard Thave a gift for you, let me
fetch It.”
Bernard lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed elegantly He broke into a smile upon hearing about
the gift, “Sure”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Eleanor headed to the study. Bernard dialed Haley, who was working at a nightclub.
Just as he hung up, Eleanor rushed out from the study, “Marina, have you seen my blueprint that was
in the study?”
Marina, who was brewing coffee in the kitchen, poked her head out to answer, “Didn’t Mr. Laurence
take that blueprint?”
Eleanor turned to Bernard on the sofa, “You took my design for the Jared Group Headquarters?”
Bernard then realized that the gift she wanted to give him was the blueprint, “Yes, I took it and have
already started using it for development”
Eleanor paused for a second, then recalled the news about the reconstruction of Jared Group
Headquarters and finally pieced it together. “You were still mad at me back then, why would you use
my design?”
Bernard casually pulled her into his arms, 1 promised to use your design and to submit it to the
competition. I always keep my word, regardless of the circumstances”
Helping her succeed in the architecture field mattered more to him than his personal feelings
Eleanor felt a lump in her throat and buried her head into his chest, whispering, Bernard, you’re too
kind…..
A smile flashed in Bernards eyes as he patted her back gently, I forgot to tell you, your design made it
through the first round and is currently being re–evaluated I’m sure you’ll hear about
it scon
Eleanor was still overwhelmed with gratitude and instantly felt a surge of anxiety hearing this, “Is it for
that international architecture competition?”
He nodded and Eleanor began to panic, 1 can’t do this, I have no experience. If I make it to the finals,
I’d have to present my design concept on stage….*
She always got nervous on stage. She would always be unable to speak, let alone at such a grand
event like the international architecture competition. All the participants were renowned architects What
if she made a fool of herself?

He had a knack for putting people at ease, and Eleanor felt a great sense of comfort around him.
However, he couldn’t take her place on stage She had to face this herself.
Eleanor clung onto his suit collar, gently stroking it, trying to calm herself down. She had only passed
the first round, the results of the re–evaluations were still pending. It would be a bit premature if she
started worrying about the performance now. She might not even make it past the re–evaluation stage
Thinking of this, Eleanor was no longer as nervous Being a newbie and making it to the finals was a
long shot.
Once she calmed down, she looked up at Bernard, “My original gift was the blueprint, but since you
took it ahead of time, the element of surprise is gone. Let me find another gift for you…. Bernard
answered with a smile. His bright eyes watched Eleanor think about what to gift him.
Seeing her distressed look yet still indecisive, Bernard cleared his throat and suggested. There’s a new
estate in the city’s east central area. I bought it as a wedding house three years ago, but haven’t had
time to decorate it. How about a design for the wedding house as a gift?”
