The next afternoon, Eleanor woke up from her slumber, the first thing she saw was Bernard's flawless profile.
Eleanor poked her head out from his embrace, propped up her hands, resting under her own cheeks, and closely observed Bernard...
When she used to work at the Ratliff Group, her colleagues, including Jeannie, had made a ranking list for the rich, Bernard topped the list.
Jeannie said those who could make the list not only had to be rich, but also good looking. Looking nationwide, Bernard was the top dog.
Back then, Eleanor didn't pay much attention, but now, upon closer inspection, Mr. Laurence was indeed quite a catch...
Thinking about this, she chuckled and mustered up courage to steal a kiss from this top-ranked tycoon.
Just as she leaned in, Bernard's closed eyes slowly opened: "Mrs. Laurence, what are you up to?"
He seemed to see right through her, and was looking at her with a smirk.
Eleanor was a bit embarrassed, but she coolly got up and drew back the curtains behind him.
There was no sunshine today, and small snowflakes were still falling in the backyard...
When Eleanor saw the backyard turned into a glass greenhouse, she looked surprised...
She looked back incredulously at Bernard, who was propping his head with one hand and only had eyes for her: "Did you build a greenhouse just to protect the roses?"
Bernard nodded, "I'll protect anything you like."
Hearing this, Eleanor's heart was filled with a bittersweet feeling: "I don't think I've ever given you anything."
From the time they met till now, he had always been giving, while she had never given him anything, not even done anything for him...
Eleanor hung her head in shame, but the man reached out his long arm and wrapped her in his embrace: "Your love for me is the best gift."
He lacked nothing but her love, so...
The man lifted her chin forcefully, "Promise to love me for a lifetime, no giving up, no leaving me."
Eleanor smiled and obediently responded, "Alright, I absolutely won't leave Mr. Laurence..."
Bernard savored the title "Mr. Laurence", suddenly remembering something. But before that, there was something else to deal with.
