His voice had a certain charm to it, almost like he was purposely trying to seduce her

But Eleanor didn’t even bat an eyelid, shaking her head gently at him

“This has nothing to do with her”

She had made it clear in the hospital that she was rejecting him because loving him was just too exhausting.

Over the years, there was never any real give and take between them, just a constant game of doubts and suspicions.

Even though all of these were due to misunderstandings, the pain and despair she experienced were real

That painful past made her afraid of love and scared to love again

Bernard tried to find a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but there was none. It didn’t seem like it was because of Teresa

He pulled away slightly, his eyes full of disappointment. Seems like you couldn’t care less who I’m with.”

Eleanor glanced at him, gathering her courage to confess, “I used to care”

The word “used to made Bernard realize that the gap between them was due to the passage of time

Not until the elevator doors opened did he turn around, grab her wrist, and pull her out

He forcefully pulled Eleanor into the car. Disregarding her wishes, he buckled her seat belt and quickly started the car
