This intensely emotional "oh" made Eleanor feel super awkward.
Before she had a chance to correct it, Liana blurted out something even more embarrassing,
"Eleanor, don't worry. Mr. Laurence is in great health; it won't affect you guys having a baby."
Eleanor didn’t respond.
Was she really concerned about the baby issue?
Eleanor looked up and saw Bernard surrounding her, his face stiff. She wanted to retort, but suddenly swallowed her words.
Bernard hung up the phone and handed it back to her, then gently touched her hair before letting her go and sitting up straight.
He didn't say anything, just silently started the car and drove towards Hailey's villa.
The flirtatious atmosphere in the car faded, leaving only the man's desolation, filling the narrow space with sadness.
Eleanor's side-glance secretly observed him, and just one look made him suddenly let go of the steering wheel and grab her hand.
Their fingers intertwined once again, and t
he tight grip made Eleanor turn her head towards him.
"You..." Eleanor said.
"Eleanor, you'll definitely have a baby."
As he said this, he couldn’t face her with courage like before.
Eleanor looked down at his hand, the veins bulging from the force, and sighed softly, following his words, "Yeah, I will."
Hearing this, Bernard's tense face relaxed a bit.
"It’ll be ours." He said.
He turned his head, his eyes revealing a strong and dominant look.
Eleanor belonged to him, and her child could only be his, Bernard's.
Eleanor didn't answer him, just turned her head to look at the scenery speeding by outside the window.
Not getting her answer, Bernard held her hand even tighter.
After a while, he finally heard her say, "In my life, I've only ever made love with you."
These words seemed to untie the knot in his heart, making him unable to help but tear up.
She had never told him these things, always deceiving him with sarcasm.
Those "I've done it and slept with others" words, how many times had they stabbed into his heart, causing him pain?
Now, hearing her say, "In my life, I've only ever made love with you."
Eleanor refused to try the car, "I won't try it. You can return it."
She couldn't afford such an expensive car and didn't know how to drive a sports car. For her, a car was just a convenient means of transportation. If she had one, she'd drive it; if not, she'd take a taxi.
Bernard mistakenly thought she didn't like having a matching car with him, so he immediately took out his phone and made a call.
"Aidyn, bring that Aston Martin to Hailey's villa."
As he finished speaking, it seemed like he thought of something and looked at Eleanor, who was still standing there, lost in thought.
"Eleanor, come with me to the garage and pick a car you like." He said.
He hung up the phone and pulled her back into his car. Eleanor immediately broke free from his hand.
"I'm not going, and I don't want your car either." Eleanor said.
Bernard looked down at her, and after only a few seconds, he saw through her thoughts.
"Eleanor, this car was given to me by another company. It doesn't cost anything, so don't feel burdened." He said.
Eleanor opened her mouth to refuse again, but Bernard bent down and sealed her unspoken words with a kiss.
"Eleanor, don't reject me anymore."
He held her waist, pulling her close to his body, then lowered his head again, deepening the kiss.
