Chapter 201
u wait a bit longer?” Asked Eleanor.
“Can you take a picture of me then, so you can have it as a memory after we separate?” Asked Eleanor.
“Wright.” Answered Bernard.
“Then…” He lifted his long finger placing it on her tender lips.
111 do anything you want” Said Bernard
She smirked with a quiet and beautiful smile, giving him a soft grin.
“Then, can we never meet again in another world?” Asked Eleanor.
His heart clenched, the endless pain striking him, jolting him awake from his dream. “No!”
He opened his eyes to see the white ceiling, Eleanor’s figure was nowhere in sight.
With difficulty, he turned his eyes to his bound wrists. His expression darkened.
It seems they still didn’t want him to leave this world easily. But what he didn’t expect was…
He wanted to go after her, but she told him in the dream that she would never meet him again, even in the afterlife.
She must be so disappointed in him to not even want to see him in heaven…
The suffocating pain engulfed him hit by bit.
The agony was so unbearable that he couldn’t breathe. He tried to suppress the pain in his heart, but the agony spread relentlessly throughout his body.
It wasn’t until then that he realized that some emotions couldn’t be controlled.
Like falling in love, losing someone, or never seeing the person you miss again…
He forced a bitter smile, giving up the fight against his emotions. Just let the pain swallow him…
After an unknown period of time, his bloodshot eyes finally reacted.
He lowered his head and discovered that his clothes had been changed. His face got serious instantly
Propping up his body, he jumped out of bed like a madman, searching for his worn suit jacket.
“Mr. Laurence, are you looking for this letter? A gentle voice came from outside the door, and Bryson walked in holding a piece of paper.
When Bernard saw the intact letter, his tense facial muscles relaxed.
He carefully took the letter, folding it and walking towards the safe
“Mr. Laurence, your mother Mrs. Laurence is here, waiting for you downstairs..” Said Bryson.
Bernard didn’t respond. He opened the safe, and put the letter inside.
The safe didn’t have money or valuables, just two things a beige scarf and a photo.
The scarf was left at No.8 Mansion on the day of the agreement termination.
He asked Aidyn to call her to pick it up, but she told Aidyn just to throw it away
She then hung up the phone and deleted all his contact information
Her decisiveness told him that she wouldn’t turn back since the moment he proposed the end. She let go of him easily, but he couldn’t bring himself to let go, treasuring everything related to her Bernard gently caressed the scarf, feeling the warmth she left behind, lingering in his heart. However, when his gaze landed on the photo, the lingering feeling was replaced by a tearing pain.
He remembered that day when she woke up, seeing him still there. She nervously asked him with his phone, “Bernard, you’re going abroad for a few months, and I’m afraid that when you come back, I might.”
She paused as if she wanted to tell him something but didn’t say it, showing a childish smile and asked, “Can you please take a photo of me, so when we part, you’d have something to keep as a memento.”
She might want to tell him that she had limited time, and this might be their last meeting. She wanted to leave a photo for him.
But he didn’t even agree to such a small request, even coldly replied, “No need.”
When she heard that answer, her hopeful eyes dimmed, but she quickly masked it.
She handed the phone back to him, still smiling, saying. “It’s okay”
Bernard couldn’t help but recall her fleeting disappointed expression, his emotions uncontrollable again.
All because he would let go of his ridiculous pride to say “yes” after leating her call Garett Falvey’s name.
Even though he secretly took a picture of her before leaving, she wouldn’t know about it.
He had hurt her belone, how could he have the right to die with her? He should live, live in the pain of losing her forever.
