His words brought back a rush of embarrassing memories that turned Eleanor’s face a fiery red in an

instant

Bernard, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as he reached out to touch her burning cheek

“Ms. Shultz, you’ve been in the wrong with Garett since last night anyway, so why get hung up on the

details?”

Without waiting for Eleanor’s reply, he scooped her up and headed toward the bathroom.

Upon placing her in the bathtub, he said. “You look worn out. Get a good rest after your bath.”

Bernard took the bath towel handed to him by a servant, placed it on the rack, and left the bathroom

Eleanor stared at the closed door and let out a deep sigh

Bernard was right. No matter how much she didn’t want to get entangled with him, this was already a

fact.

Thinking about these things made her feel heavy, depressed, and extremely tired

She decided to stop thinking, stripped off her dress, filled the tub with water, and laid in it while staring

blankly at the ceiling lights. After leaving the bathroom, Bernard strode into his study. Seeing him come

in, Caleb quickly got up from the sofa.

“Mr. Laurence, you’re back.”

Bernard simply nodded, sat down at the desk, and looked at Caleb with cold indifference

“How are things going in W City?”

“The people who needed to be dealt with have been taken care of They won’t be a threat to the branch

anymore.”

“There’s one more thing to be done.”

“Please tell me Mr. Laurence.”

Bernard tossed two hotel room cards onto the table.

“A few notorious criminals in W City stole from these two suites last night. Retrieve the items.”

“Yes, sir.”

Caleb picked up the room cards and turned to leave, but Bernard’s frosty voice halted him.

“Leave through the back garden. Don’t let her notice you.”

Caleb turned around, nodded, and then made a hasty ext.

After her bath, Eleanor, wrapped in a bath towel emerged from the bathroom

Walking on the wooden floor, she stood at the entrance, taking in the extravagantly decorated villa

The furniture and appliances within were high-end, even the chandelier hanging in the living room was

made of crystal

The villa was too big, sprawling over several floors, the unfamiliarity of it all left Eleanor feeling lost.

As she stood dumbfounded at the stair landing, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace

Bernard, holding her, headed for the second floor bedroom

Eleanor nestled in his arms, looking up at him

She wanted to ask him to put her down but feared he would bring up last night’s incident as a rebuttal

so she stayed quiet. After laying her on the soft bed. Bernard saw her still damp hair and turned to

fetch a hairdryer

Seeing him about to dry her hair, she quickly reached out to grab the hairdryer

“I can do it myself.”

But Bernard sidestepped her attempt, turned on the hairdryer, sat behind her, and without a word,

began to dry her hair

When his fingers brushed against her soft hair, Eleanor’s lashes fluttered

The man behind her stared at her back, his eyes reflecting endless affection and a hint of crazy longing

This longing made him lose control, and he pulled her into his arms from behind

He lowered his head slightly to rest his chin on her shoulder, laying bare his feelings once again

“Eleanor, I’ve missed you for three years, five months, and fifteen days I’ve missed you to the point of

going mad, to the point of desperately wanting to be with you again” “Could you give me another

chance to be with you, even if it’s just for a few short days?*
