Eleanor ignored him, not pushing him away or asking why he was behaving strangely. She continued to
serve soup into her bowl, completely disregarding Bernard’s presence.
Feeling completely ignored, Bernard realized he had been too cold earlier and had upset her. He
quickly apologized, “Darling, I know I was wrong. Please don’t ignore me.”
Still not responding to his apologies, Eleanor remained distant. Worried, Bernard took the spoon from
her hand and pressed her against the wall, kissing her. While kissing, he cooed, “Sweetheart, I felt
jealous when I saw Robin holding your waist, and it made me uneasy. I promise I won’t ignore you
anymore. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”
It turned out that his earlier coldness towards her was due to his jealousy towards Robin. But this was
completely unreasonable since it wasn’t Eleanor’s fault to be close to Robin.
Bernard’s temper hadn’t changed much over time. Whenever he got jealous, he tended to act coldly.
He knew he needed to change this bad habit, or else he would end up losing his temper every time he
felt jealous, which Eleanor couldn’t bear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRemaining calm, Eleanor pushed Bernard away, saying, “I’m not angry anymore. Go wash up and get
ready for dinner.”
Even though she said she wasn’t angry, there was no sign of forgiveness on her face. Seeing this,
Bernard felt a bit lost and hugged her tightly, saying, “Darling, I feel like you’re still angry with me.”
Eleanor mockingly raised an eyebrow, “How dare I be angry? After all, in this household, you have the
final say. What say do I even have?”
Bernard could sense the sarcasm and said, “Darling, I know my cold attitude was wrong. I promise I
won’t act that way again. Please don’t be like this.”
This was truly frightening for Bernard. Eleanor finally relented and replied, “Hmm, whatever you say.”
Seeing that his attempts to console her weren’t working, Bernard grew anxious and pleaded, “Darling,
please don’t be like this.”
This Eleanor reminded him of the time they broke up years ago, totally disregarding him.
Eleanor turned her head away, ignored him. Bernard reached out, held her chin, kissed her, this kiss
more urgent and passionate than usual.
Eleanor, pinned against the wall, struggled to handle his kiss. Her nails dug into her palm, helping her
stay upright as her body started to weaken.
She didn’t respond, let him keep kissing her. When Bernard felt her coldness, his heart felt like it was
being crushed, the pain unbearable.
He slowly let go of her, a bit drained, used his high nose to lightly touch her cheek, “Baby, tell

me, what should I do so you won’t be mad?”
Eleanor thought of Gianna’s suggestion, plucked up the courage to say, “I’m going to Hailey’s nightclub
with Gianna tonight, okay with you?”
Bernard instinctively frowned, “No way.”
Ms. Vulpe hired a group of handsome waiters recently, making it even more appealing than Midnight
Bar. However, he was hesitant to let Eleanor go to a place like that, fearing that the strange and wild

Seeing his disapproval, Eleanor chose not to say more and turned around to ladle soup for Bryson.
“Bryson, the soup’s ready. Let the cook know they can start serving.”
“Ah, here it comes…” Bryson responded.
Bernard wanted to hold Eleanor, but upon hearing Bryson’s voice, he quickly withdrew his hand. “Mr.
Laurence, you’re back,” Bryson greeted Bernard with a smile, but received a cold response that left him
puzzled. Bernard turned to leave before Bryson could inquire further, leaving him to wonder.
“Madam, did you guys fight?” Bryson asked Eleanor after she had finished ladling all the soup into the
bowl. She put down the spoon, washed her hands, and turned to look at Bryson.
“He’s giving me the cold shoulder again. I need to figure out how to handle him.”
“Ah, so that’s it.”
Bryson finally understood, showed his support for Eleanor, “You should definitely handle it.”
Eleanor gave a small laugh, “He has a sensitive stomach, don’t forget to have him drink more soup.”
Seeing her concern for him, Bryson chuckled, “Don’t worry, even if Mr. Laurence is mad, I’ll make sure
he drinks a bowl of soup first.”
