"Eleanor, that guy was from the Siren Organization, he was looking for me."
Bernard hesitated for a moment, then said nonchalantly, but didn't spill the beans about what it was.
That place was indeed a ticking time bomb, he didn't want Eleanor to constantly worry about him for the next half-a-year.
"So, he's Mr. Penrod..."
Eleanor watched the distant boat, murmured quietly, then turned to Bernard.
"What did he want from you?"
Mr. Penrod once tried to kidnap her to threaten Bernard, but didn't succeed. Now he was seeking him out in person, there must be something important.
"Just some internal stuff of the Siren Organization, don't sweat too much about it."
Seeing he was being tight-lipped, Eleanor didn't pry further, instead, she held his hand tightly.
"Bernard, let's head to the rooftop, I've got a gift for you."
"That didn’t sound gentle enough."
Bernard wrapped one arm around her waist, lifted her chin with his other hand, looking at her quietly.
"Darling, will you go to the rooftop with me?"
"Remember, I'm your loving hubby."
Bernard pinched her cheek, with a strong and domineering look in his eyes.
"I'll punish you in bed whenever you forget it, until you remember."
Eleanor chuckled, looking at him.
"Do you deserve a punishment if you're not gentle with me?"
"Then...punish me in bed."
