Chapter 136 As she hugged her legs and leaned against the head of the bed, two extremely dazzling car lights shone on the floorâtoâceiling window. Following that, the sound of car wheels rolling on the ground could be heard from downstairs, and a Koenigsegg pulled up in front of the villa. The bodyguard holding an umbrella opened the car door for a man who was nearly 6â2â and slowly stepped out of the car.
As he casually untied the tie around his neck, he coldly ordered, âDonât let him in.â
The bodyguard replied with a âyesâ and escorted the man into the villa before turning around to walk towards the iron gate outside the garden.
Eleanor stood by the floorâtoâceiling window, looking in the direction of the bodyguardâs gaze, and saw a man outside the iron gate in the distance. It was too far away and it was raining heavily, so she couldnât see the manâs face clearly and didnât pay much attention to it.
She forced herself to stand up and, leaning on the wall, walked downstairs.
Bernard hadnât been home for several days and she hadnât had a chance to leave.
Now that he was finally back, she naturally had to seize the opportunity When she arrived downstairs, the man had just taken off his coat and handed it to the servant.
Seeing her coming down the stairs, his gloomy face became even colder.
Eleanor didnât notice and hurriedly walked up to him, saying, âMr. Laurence...â
She wanted to say something to him, but he didnât even look at her and went straight to the bathroom.
Seeing him ignore her, Eleanorâs face didnât look very good either. What was Bernard trying to do?
Keeping her at home and ignoring her, was he just using her to vent his emotions?
Eleanor was about to give up trying to ask him to let her go, but when she saw Bryson who was staying close to her, she held back her unhappiness.
Without Bernardâs permission, Bryson, the servants, and the bodyguard would keep an eye on her, making it impossible for her to escape even if she wanted to Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
It took about an hour before the bathroom door finally slowly opened.
Eleanor quickly got up and walked over.
âMr. Laurence, you said I could leave after a few days of rest, and now Iâm feeling all right. Can you let me go?â
The man still didnât respond to her, just glanced coldly at her, then headed for the second floor.
Eleanor hesitated to approach him, but she couldnât stay at his house forever, could she?
âMr. Laurence Eleanor still gathered the courage to follow him.
But she didnât expect him to suddenly stop, and she couldnât help but bump into his back.
The impact almost knocked her down the stairs, but luckily he quickly grabbed her waist.
The two were very close, staring at each otherâs faces, making it a bit intimate.
Eleanor was the first to lower her head, quietly saying âthank you,â and then pushed him away when she regained her balance.
Bernard glanced at her indifferently and asked coldly. You two planned this together?â
âWhat?â Eleanor looked at him, confused.
Bernard glanced at the figure outside the window: âHe came to see you, isnât it because you asked him to come and pick you up?â Following his gaze, Eleanor looked outside the window but didnât see much. She moved a few steps forward to have a clearer look.
From a high point, she could see everything clearly, and with the bright streetlights outside, she finally recognized the man.
âJason...â
How did he find this place?
âYour exâboyfriend is here to pick you up. So you canât wait to leave, can you?â
Bernardâs mocking tone made Eleanor shift her gaze.
She looked at Bernard who was now standing next to her He had just taken a shower, smelling really nice.

His hair was still a bit wet, making him look approachable.
However, the words he said really made her feel uncomfortable Eleanor didnât respond because she really did want to leave.
But if she were to walk out of the villa now, Bernard would certainly think that she and Jason had planned it in advance.
âWhy donât you go?â
Chapter 136 Bernard lowered his head, his icy gaze fixed on Eleanorâs face.
Feeling the coldness in his eyes, Eleanor was afraid that he would think she didnât want to leave and quickly turned around.
Just as she was heading for the stairs, her arm was grabbed, and he pulled her back into his arms.
