Bernard came out of the bathroom and saw Eleanor doing her skincare routine with wet hair.
He frowned a bit, picked up the hairdryer, and carefully dried her hair.
Looking at the man in the mirror taking care of her meticulously, Eleanor's anxiety slowly faded away.
After drying her hair, he gave her some medicine and picked her up from the chair.
"Eleanor, I'll take you to Jorvik to see the Northern Lights tomorrow."
He had seen her looking at pictures of the aurora before, guessing she wanted to go there.
But back then, they were still testing each other out, so he never did those things for her.
He wanted to make up for the past regrets with the rest of his life. He wanted to heal her wounds and give her the best memories.
Eleanor curled up in his arms, nodding her head gently.
Bernard held her in his arms as they slept.
Eleanor looked at the man holding her, and her gut told her they wouldn't make it to Jorvik.
Just as she thought, the next day before they even had breakfast, a dozen space agency cars appeared outside the villa.
Due to Bernard's status and the large number of bodyguards, people of the space agency didn't dare to enter but sent someone to invite him to the space base.
Bernard wanted to take Eleanor to see the Northern Lights, so of course, he wouldn't go back with them, but the space agency director came in person.
The two argued for a long time in the study. In the end, the director left in a huff, and Bernard looked upset too.
Seeing them both unhappy, Eleanor persuaded Bernard, "We can go to see the Northern Lights anytime, but the space project can't be stopped. You should go back to the base and deal with work first."
Her comforting voice calmed Bernard's restless heart.
He touched Eleanor's face, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it."
He hugged Eleanor, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Eleanor, three days. I'll be back after I finish it."
Eleanor nodded, hugged his waist, leaned against his chest, and after a tight embrace, she urged, "It's getting dark."
Only then did Bernard reluctantly let her go, turned around, and ordered the servants to take good care of her and the bodyguards to stay and protect her.
He hugged Eleanor again, "Wait for me."
Eleanor smiled gently, "Okay."
Only after getting her response did Bernard let her go, walking towards the space agency's car.
As he got in the car, Eleanor suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, time flew by, and three days passed quickly. However, Eleanor received another photo from Teresa.
[Look, Bernard met with Gianna again. Ms. Shultz, this time they were at a romantic restaurant. Do you want to come and see it yourself?]
