Chapter 369 She thought about it for a moment and eventually agreed.
Bernard took her to the terrace, and the waiter brought them two glasses of red wine.
Eleanor wasnât supposed to drink, but being alone with him was super awkward.
All she could do was hold the wine glass, lower her head, and take sips of wine to pass this painfully brief time together.
Bernard saw her take a few sips and reached out with his long fingers to take the glass from her.
âYou just had a major surgery, so donât drink too much.â
He placed the wine glass on the nearby bar and looked at Eleanor.
The dim light shone on her palmâsized face, highlighting her fair and delicate skin.
His gaze slowly moved down, past her unruly short hair clinging to her pale neck, and then to her chest, which had made him weak countless times before.
One glance got his blood boiling, afraid of doing something irrational, he quickly looked away.
He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked Eleanor, who was sitting beside him, âHave you started working?â
Eleanor lightly hummed in response, raised her restless little hands and placed them on the edge of the bar counter.
Bernard turned his head again, looking at her back.
Seeing the exposed skin and a few scars, his heart ached.
He extended his long fingers to touch the scars left by the sulfuric acid, but then remembered she was already married.
His hand froze in midâair, repeatedly warning himself that he no longer had the right to touch her.
He clenched his fist and asked with concern, âYou just recovered from your injury, why not rest for a while longer?â
Eleanor lowered her head, fiddling with the bar and replied, âMy sister left some projects before she died, and the progress is tight.â
Bernard nodded slightly, looking at her right ring finger and noticed she wasnât wearing a wedding ring. He couldnât help but ask, âAre you...okay with him?â
Eleanor hesitated for a few seconds before smiling, âItâs fine...â
He now had Teresa by his side, so it would be better not to tell him about her own issues. She didnât want to affect his new life.
Bernard saw the happy smile on her face, and the heartâwrenching pain made it hard for him to breathe.
It was normal for her to be happy after marrying her childhood sweetheart, but why was he so miserable?
He gripped his wine glass tightly, his blood ran cold, wanting to leave this suffocating place but unable to let go of her.
Eleanor glanced at Bernard as he drank, swallowing unconsciously as she saw his Adamâs apple move.
The dryness in her mouth made her body gradually heat up, and she uncontrollably reached out to touch his sexy neck. When she touched his cold skin, the heat subsided a bit, the comforting feeling made her want to touch him even more.
She began to caress Bernardâs neck and cheeks with both hands.
Her small, fair hands even slipped into his shirt.
Bernardâs tall and straight body froze.
His eyes stared intently at the blushing woman in front of him.
âYou...â

Before he could say anything, she tiptoed and kissed his lips, passionately and chaotically.
As soon as Bernard felt her burning lips, his heart trembled, and he realized something was off.
His calm eyes glanced at the red wine she had drunk, and his expression instantly darkened.
He wanted to push Eleanor away, but she wrapped her arms around him and clung tightly to his body.
At this moment, Eleanorâs mind was filled with images of Bernard holding her on the couch, thrusting into her wildly.
She didnât want to think about it, but for some reason, she couldnât control her thoughts or body.
She grabbed his collar, stood on her tiptoes, leaned into his ear, and whispered while biting his earlobe, âI...I want you.â
