Sophie felt like she was being watched. She quickly turned around, and when she saw it was Bernard, her face lit up with joy.
"Bernard, you finally decided to see me..."
She quickened her pace, running to him.
"Bernard, for the past three years, I've been shut out by you. Do you know how much I missed you?"
Bernard smirked, "You missed me?"
Sophie, tears welling up in her eyes, nodded fervently, "Bernard, I once told you that I've liked you since we were kids. How could I not miss you?"
Bernard lifted his indifferent eyes, staring coldly at her, "What about my brother?"
Sophie's face changed, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she still firmly said, "I never loved your brother. It was always you. If it wasn't for you being so aloof, why would I agree to date your older brother..."
As she finished, she tried to grab Bernard's hand. But before her hand could touch his fingers, he swiftly withdrew it.
This rejection made Sophie feel humiliated, followed by a rush of regret.
"I was such a fool. I turned down your proposal to avoid creating a misunderstanding. I should have married you right after your brother's death!"
If she had married him back then, how could that annoying Eleanor have any chance?
She thought Bernard wasn't interested in her because she couldn't meet his standards, so she decided to go abroad to better herself.
But to her surprise, Bernard found a woman who looked somewhat like her after she left.
She never thought it would turn out this way. Why wasn't Bernard interested in her, even though they looked so much alike?
Every time she thought of Bernard, a man obsessed with cleanliness, getting intimate with another woman, Sophie felt indignant.
She looked at Bernard's cold face, yelling angrily, "Bernard, no matter what, you promised my brother you would marry me. You can't break your promise!"
