Eleanor was a bit hesitant, worried that seeing Bernard might worsen Garett's condition.
"You must take me along whether you like it or not."
Bernard seemed cool and aloof, but there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"He's not laying his eyes on me."
Eleanor felt a warmth in her heart, reaching out to pinch his handsome face.
"You're such a sweetheart."
Bernard seemed tough, but he'd bend over backward for her.
As she looked at him, her eyes full of love, Bernard felt secure.
He lifted his hand, catching her hand as it playfully explored his face.
"You can look after him if you want, but..."
He lifted Eleanor's chin, exuding a powerful dominance.
"You gotta be back with me when the sun goes down."
He would allow her to take care of Garett during the day, but the nights were off-limits.
He knew Eleanor, seeing Garett so sick, would feel pity.
He was worried that with enough time, those old flames might reignite.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Eleanor, but emotional matters are out of control, just like himself.
He tried not loving Eleanor, but he couldn't stop himself, fell head over heels.
He was certain, as long as she was by his side, her heart would be shackled to him, no escape.
Eleanor kissed his lips, giving him endless security.
"We'll see how it goes, then we'll decide."
She needed to understand Garett's situation first, then make a decision.
"Alright."
Seeing her willing to take him along, the jealousy in his eyes vanished. He lifted his eyes indifferently towards the driver in the front.
"Get out of the car--"
