Chapter 267
He held her tight, but he couldn’t feel her presence. This emptiness was driving him insane!
She asked coldly, “Do you want me or not? If not, just let me go.”
Bernard was in so much pain that he could barely breathe, let alone speak. All he could do was press her head to his chest, hoping she could hear his breaking heart. But why would she care about his pain if she didn’t love him?
Eleanor tried to push him away, but it was useless. He just held her, not letting her go.
Feeling a bit helpless, she sighed, “What do you want me to do so you’ll let me go?”
Bernard said cruelly, “I want you to love me.”
Hearing this, Eleanor slightly trembled, but her face remained expressionless.
The woman in his arms was silent, and Bernard knew her answer.
With tears in his eyes, he asked, “Eleanor, can’t you love me just once?”
Even if it was just for a day, he wanted to experience being loved by the person he cared for….
Eleanor’s hand, which was gripping his shirt collar, involuntarily tightened as if she was moved by his words..
However, thinking back on the days when she loved him, she felt exhausted and pushed down those feelings.
She calmly said, “Mr. Laurence, our relationship was based on mutual benefits. After we’ve parted ways, why talk about love?”
Her calm words cut deep into Bernard’s heart, causing an unbearable pain.
At that moment, Ethan’s voice came from outside the door, wanting to burst in but being stopped by someone, shouting Eleanor’s name.
Eleanor frowned and looked up at Bernard, “Let me go, stop making a scene.”
Bernard held her tightly, not letting go. His stubbornness made Eleanor furious.
She yelled, “Bernard! I married Ethan as Emilia. I married Garett as Eleanor.I belong to them, not you! Who do you think you are, not letting me go?”
Bernard’s tall body froze on the spot.
Yeah, why shouldn’t he let her go?
He slowly loosened his grip on Eleanor, his eyes reddened. His gaze gradually turned cold and distant again.
He took a step back, looking indifferently at the woman fixing her clothes.
“May you and Mr. Ziegler be happy and forever in love.”
Eleanor ignored his sarcasm, straightened her clothes, and turned to leave.
As she was about to walk out of the bathroom, the sudden emptiness in his heart was even more unbearable than hearing her cruel words earlier.
This pain caused him to lose control, chasing her and holding her from behind.
Burying his head in her neck, smelling her unique scent, he felt slightly better.
He abandoned all his pride and begged her softly, “Please, don’t go.”
Eleanor hesitated for a moment, seemingly not expecting the once-proud man to lower himself and ask her like this.
She turned her head, looking at the man tightly holding her, and said solemnly, “Bernard, it’s really impossible for us now. Let me go.”
Bernard was stunned, then scoffed, “I know it’s impossible, no need to remind me.”
Eleanor frowned. “If you know, why won’t you let me go?”
He lowered his head, his eyes flashing coldly. “What about Garett if you leave with him?”
Eleanor didn’t understand and looked at him, confused. “What do you mean?”
Bernard’s swollen eyes gradually cooled down, replaced by hesitation.
It seemed that he was making a crucial decision, thinking long and hard before finally letting go of Eleanor.
He took a deep breath, stared at her, and asked softly, “Will you leave with him or come with me to see Garett?”
