After the four ladies left, only Eleanor and Bernard were left in the private room.
Bernard looked at her with a deep smile. "Babe, if you wanna keep this game going, I'm game."
He loosened his shirt collar, revealing his solid Adam's apple and collarbones.
Under the dim light, Bernard bent over, supporting himself on the sides of the sofa, enveloping her under him.
His lips drew close to her ear, whispering, "Tell me, how do you want to play?"
Eleanor was afraid of his temptations, but pretended not to care, "I'm done playing, let's head home."
Bernard tried to kiss her, but she dodged it. He was a bit bummed, not sure what to do next.
Looking at the indifferent Eleanor, he helplessly buried his head into her shoulder, gently rubbing, "Eleanor, don't be mad."
Eleanor's heart was touched by his cooing, but she remained calm.
She said nothing. To Bernard, it felt like torture, "Babe, could you say something?"
Eleanor simply said, "Let's go home."
Unable to change her mind, Bernard picked her up and put her in the car.
Back at Fiord Roundabout, Eleanor took a shower and then went to Nina's room.
Unable to find her, Bernard was filled with disappointment.
For the first time, they were sleeping in separate rooms due to a fight.
Bernard stood by the window, staring at the villa across the street.
His gaze was icy, as if he wanted to storm over there and beat Robin.
But he knew well that Eleanor was mad at him because of his indifference, not because of Robin.
Bernard controlled his emotions, sitting on the sofa, his eyes never leaving the villa.
And Eleanor, holding Nina, enjoyed her sweet sleep...
