When Bernard came down the escalator, he saw Eleanor daydreaming in the restaurant, and walked over immediately, taking the soup pot from her hands, "Eleanor, leave this kind of stuff to the servants. Don't do it yourself. Be careful, you might burn yourself."
His tone was full of affection and his voice was soft, causing a mix of emotions in Eleanor. She tried to control herself and responded lightly, "Okay".
Bernard put the pot down, glanced at Evan and Gianna who walked in, his gaze lingered briefly, then turned around, took Eleanor's hand, and put it in his own, "Eleanor, I have to go now. Take care of yourself."
Although Eleanor told herself she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but tear up when she heard 'I have to go'. She didn't want him to see, so she quickly raised her hand, pointed at the food on the table, and diverted his attention, "Bernard, that's the dinner I made for you. Can you eat some before you leave?"
Evan, standing by the door, checked his watch upon hearing this, "Mr. Laurence, we only have half an hour. The boat is about to leave. There's no time."
Ignoring Evan, Bernard just pulled Eleanor to sit down. Seeing this, Evan exchanged a glance with Gianna, then looked at Eleanor.
Eleanor also hoped Bernard could stay and finish the dinner she made for him. But she knew she had to be strong.
After watching Bernard for a while, Eleanor finally said, "Bernard, don't make them wait too long."
Bernard's hand, holding the spoon, stiffened for a moment before scooping up a spoonful of soup and bringing it to Eleanor's mouth.
He didn't say anything, just signaled Eleanor to have it with his eyes. But Eleanor just smiled and shook her head, "Go."
His hand holding the spoon tightened, and he looked at Eleanor before setting the spoon down and standing up to leave.
He left decisively, not looking back at Eleanor, just like a cold and ruthless businessman.
Watching him stride towards the door, Eleanor couldn't help but let the tears fall...
She thought they had parted like this, but the car suddenly stopped outside the door, and then a tall figure quickly came back.
