Chapter 568 Cedric felt a lump in his throat that kept him from speaking Bernard gave him another icy glance What, still here?â
P***d off, Cedric s****d his coat from the se***t, draped it over his shoulders, and turned to leave Eleanor quickly stood up and called out to him, âMr. Laurence, wait a secondâ
Cedric, still steaming didnât want to give Eleanor the time of day, but remembering his brotherâs warning, he stopped in his tracks.
He had no choice Since they were kids, who dared disobey Bernardâs orders?
Eleanor approached Cedric, looked at him earnestly, and explained, âCedric, donât get it twisted. I didnât betray your brother. Someone impersonated me to prevent him from 1finding me. Itâs all a hoaxâ
Cedric looked at the frail Eleanor and asked. Then where have you been for the past six months? Why didnât you come to find him?â
Eleanor cast her eyes down to her left wrist and truthfully replied, âI was imprisoned by Ethan. I couldnât escape.â
Cedric was taken aback. No wonder when he told Hailey that Eleanor had betrayed Bernard, Hailey never bought it, insisting that Eleanor must have been held captive by Ethan, and thatâs why she couldnât return.
They even had a massive argument about it. Ignoring his advice, Hailey insisted on bringing an interpreter to G country to search for Eleanor.
Then, Hailey heard that Bernard had personally met with Eleanor, and thatâs when she returned from G country...
Probably Aidyn had shown her those surveillance tapes, audio recordings, and videos, so Hailey stopped looking for Eleanor.
Cedric didnât know if Hailey was convinced, but when he tried to find her again, she wouldnât give him the time of day.
And thatâs why he held a grudge against Eleanor So when he saw Eleanor just now, he couldnât control his anger. But it turned out he misunderstood her. What now?
Seeing Cedric in shock, Eleanor quickly smiled at him and said, âDonât worry, I would never betray your brother, because...â
She glanced at the man sitting in the main seat of the dining table, propping his chin on one hand, always staring at her, and whispered, âI love him.â
Upon hearing this public confession, Cedricâs frown deepened Great, his brother and Eleanor were finally on the same page, but...
He hadnt spoken to Hailey for three months because he didnât trust Eleanor!
He looked at Eleanor with a complex expression, then at the man in the main seat who was urging him to leave with an indifferent look.
Cedric suddenly felt suffocated, as if these two were somehow messing up his love life.
He stood there in a daze. At this point, Bernard stepped forward and lifted Eleanor into his arms.
Not even glancing at his brother, his gaze was fixed on Eleanorâs feet. Itâs cold down there, did you freeze your feet?â
Cedric rolled his eyes at the sight of the two inseparable figures. There is underfloor heating everywhere, how could you freeze your feet?!
He awkwardly said to Bernard. Ill be going thenâ
The man, who had already sat back down at the table with Eleanor in his arms, didnât even lift his head, instead, he picked up a new pair of spoons, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and offered it to Eleanor.

Eleanor, afraid that Cedric would feel too awkward, quickly waved at him, âMr. Laurence, take care...â
Bernard held Eleanorâs chin, straightened her little head, and said indulgently, âWhy bother talking to him? Just eat your mealâ
Cedric stormed off, pi**d
