Eleanor felt a bit uncomfortable with her touch, drawing back slightly.
"Evelyn…"
Her soft reminder brought Evelyn back to earth.
"Sorry, I lost my composure…"
It took her a long time to overcome her fear of this face after she returned from G country.
Anyway, her son was not in this world anymore. So, her karma was bound to catch up with her, why should she still be afraid?
Thinking about this, Evelyn gave a wry smile…
"Ms. Shultz, you know, you're the spitting image of your mother."
Was it because she looked exactly like her mother that Evelyn was so shocked when she first saw her?
But compared to shock, Eleanor felt that Evelyn seemed to fear her more…
Did Evelyn do something bad to her mother and is now afraid of her?
Eleanor was full of suspicions, Evelyn looked at her face and gave a gentle laugh…
"Your mother was a real knockout, just like you, before she messed up her face. What a shame…"
Evelyn didn't go on from there.
The fear in her eyes seemed to be a fear of the past.
Evelyn fell silent. Eleanor had no evidence, she could only ask:
"Why did she ruin her face?"
Evelyn shook her head, unwilling to spill the beans about the past.
Eleanor thought for a moment. Her mother's disfigurement must have something to do with Evelyn, otherwise, Evelyn wouldn't fear her.
Since it has something to do with Evelyn, she had to play her cards close to her chest, otherwise, Evelyn would be on guard.
Eleanor changed the subject:
"Evelyn, please, who was my mother?"
She asked this question nervously, her fists clenched.
A kid who was dumped at an orphanage, knowing that she has a sister was already beyond her wildest dreams.
She and Bernard had no hard feelings except for some misunderstandings at the beginning. Why would they say that?
"Ms. Shultz, you should think about it for your future happiness…"
Evelyn turned around to block Bernard's line of sight, then handed Eleanor a business card.
"This is my card, my number is on there. Give me a call once you've made up your mind."
Eleanor glanced at the gold card, then looked up at Evelyn calmly.
"Ms. Evelyn, what does it have to do with my motherhood if I marry Bernard?"
Evelyn didn't get Nina, so she didn't tell Eleanor everything. She chose to keep silence.
"I'll wait for your call."
She patted Eleanor on the shoulder and then turned and left.
Watching the elegant and luxurious Evelyn disappear into the crowd, Eleanor fell into deep thought.
Bernard came over, glanced at the business card in her hand.
But he didn't ask her any questions, just took her hand and said, "Eleanor, let's go home."
