This intensely emotional "oh" made Eleanor feel super awkward.
Before she had a chance to correct it, Liana blurted out something even more embarrassing,
"Eleanor, don't worry. Mr. Laurence is in great health; it won't affect you guys having a baby."
Eleanor didn’t respond.
Was she really concerned about the baby issue?
Eleanor looked up and saw Bernard surrounding her, his face stiff. She wanted to retort, but suddenly swallowed her words.
Bernard hung up the phone and handed it back to her, then gently touched her hair before letting her go and sitting up straight.
He didn't say anything, just silently started the car and drove towards Hailey's villa.
The flirtatious atmosphere in the car faded, leaving only the man's desolation, filling the narrow space with sadness.
Eleanor's side-glance secretly observed him, and just one look made him suddenly let go of the steering wheel and grab her hand.
Their fingers intertwined once again, and t
he tight grip made Eleanor turn her head towards him.
"You..." Eleanor said.
"Eleanor, you'll definitely have a baby."
As he said this, he couldn’t face her with courage like before.
Eleanor looked down at his hand, the veins bulging from the force, and sighed softly, following his words, "Yeah, I will."
Hearing this, Bernard's tense face relaxed a bit.
"It’ll be ours." He said.
He turned his head, his eyes revealing a strong and dominant look.
Eleanor belonged to him, and her child could only be his, Bernard's.
Eleanor didn't answer him, just turned her head to look at the scenery speeding by outside the window.
Not getting her answer, Bernard held her hand even tighter.
After a while, he finally heard her say, "In my life, I've only ever made love with you."
These words seemed to untie the knot in his heart, making him unable to help but tear up.
She had never told him these things, always deceiving him with sarcasm.
Those "I've done it and slept with others" words, how many times had they stabbed into his heart, causing him pain?
Now, hearing her say, "In my life, I've only ever made love with you."
