Chapter 271

She once said she’d never be someone’s side chick, so how could he do something to let her down?

He hugged her tightly and couldn’t help but blurt out his true thoughts: “If you hadn’t come back, I’d

never marry anyone in my life.”

Upon hearing this, Eleanor experienced a slight tremor, although her face remained devoid of any

expression…

Even though she was surprised, she didn’t speak or ask him why he didn’t end up marrying Sophie.

Bernard raised his hand to caress her cheek: “The one I’ve always wanted to marry is you.

His voice was h**se, but it carried deep emotions, which made Eleanor’s heart tremble. But her

disbelief quickly returned.

As Bernard’s lips trembled, he wanted to say more, but Aidyn’s voice interrupted: “Mr. Laurence, we’ve

arrived.”

Bernard looked up at Eleanor and reluctantly hugged her again.

Eleanor just looked at him expressionlessly, as if blaming him for not keeping his word.

After forcing a smile, Bernard said. “It’s over.”

Eleanor glanced at him, then let go of his neck and got off his lap.

As she got out of the car, Bernard tried to call out to her. “Eleanor.”

Eleanor turned her head and looked at the cold and noble man in the car.

The light inside was dim, so she couldn’t see his expression clearly. It seemed like a dark shadow

enveloped him, making it hard for him to break free.

He turned his head slightly, staring at her with bloodshot eyes: “Do you not believe that I love you

because I was too cold to you before?”

Seeing his honesty, Eleanor didn’t avoid it anymore and nodded gently.

Bernard lowered his head, seemingly laughing and mocking himself.

Confused, Eleanor asked, “What’re you laughing at?”

Forcing a smile, he said bitterly: “In those five years, you called out Garett in your sleep 152 times.”

He lifted his head, his eyes red: “Every time you called his name, I wanted to distance myself from you,

but I couldn’t.”

Eleanor was stunned, never realizing she had called Garett’s name so many times in her sleep,

After following Bernard, she had dreamt of Garett many times, but those were nightmares where he

kicked her heart and broke her fingers.

There were also times when she lay in a pool of blood, crying out, “Garett, please save me.”

Back then, what broke her heart wasn’t just her dying life, but also the despair that her lover would

never return.

As a result, she developed a severe psychological shadow and was plagued by nightmares for

countless days and nights.

However, she never expected to call out his name in her dreams, let alone for Bernard to hear it.

In fact, she didn’t call Garett’s name because she couldn’t let go of him but because she was afraid of

those memories.

But now, all of this didn’t matter because Bernard had also hurt her in the same way, pushing her to the

brink of death.

However, it was indeed wrong for her to scream another man’s name while with him.

Full of regret, she said, “I’m sorry…”

Hearing her apology, Bernard sneered: “Is an apology what I want?”

Eleanor knew what he wanted, but…

She looked at him and calmly said, “We can’t go back to the past. Garett killed himself for me. I can’t let

him down again.”

He had already explained to her why he was so cold to her in the past, clearing up her inner confusion

from all those years.

But now, the problem between them was no longer about love but that her overwhelming guilt wouldn’t

let her turn back.
