“Would this be a waste of your time?”
“I have my own studio, so my schedule’s pretty flexible Plus, my craft designs are on display all around the city lately”
Once Sigrid made up her mind, she’d get right to it. So she grabbed her bag, ready to leave
“Let’s go, take me to see Jason”
Eleanor began to say, but Sigrid interrupted her
“It’s just a suggestion from me. Whether Jason agrees or not is still unknown. Don’t feel pressured about it,” Sigrid said.
Eleanor was only concerned about potentially causing trouble for herself. This was just an initial proposal, and whether it could
be realized would depend on Jason’s cooperation Otherwise, discussing it here would be mere speculation. It would be better to
first see how Jason’s situation was
Given Sigrid’s response, Eleanor refrained from asking further and prepared to get up. As she glanced at the man sitting beside
her, supporting his chin with his hand, she inquired, “Honey, are you coming with us?”
Bernard raised an eyebrow, displaying an indifferent expression “No, I won’t.”
He had previously stated that no matter how she took care of Garett, he wouldn’t mind. Since he had decided to trust her
completely, he would set aside any doubts
“Then I’ll be back home in two hours,” Eleanor said, lifting her wrist with the watch in front of him and shaking it slightly
Bernard’s gaze filled with affection as he gently nodded. The four of them went downstairs, and just as Hailey was about to get
into the car, Bernard called her over
“Ms. Vulpe, can you do me a favor?” he asked.
Hailey released her grip on the car door and turned to look at Bernard. “What do you need help with?”
Bernard looked at his phone with a meaningful gaze, then spoke
“Chase just texted me, said Cedric got drunk last night and hasn’t woken up. Chase is dealing with urgent matters and doesn’t
have time to pick him up. He asked me to do
With that, Bernard paused, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. I have to go to the branch office, I don’t have time
either. Could you, Ms. Vulpe, help me pick him up?”
Hailey was puzzled. Anyone could do this favor, but Bernard asked only her. She was a bit at a loss.
L‘
Before Hailey could refuse, Bernard had already sent her the address.
“Ms. Vulpe, I owe you one”
Bernard put away his phone, thanked her, and got in the car
Hailey stared at the car that sped away, holding her phone, standing there dazed
In the car, Sigrid saw Hailey’s hesitation, locked the car door first, then rolled down the window
“Hailey, go pick up my brother. My sister–in–law and I can go see Jason alone.”
“But...”
Before Hailey could finish her sentence, Sigrid stepped on the gas and drove off. Watching the two cars speeding away and
realizing she had no car of her own, Hailey stomped her foot in frustration. “You guys at least you could have dropped me off at
the subway station!”
Signd suddenly realized that she could have dropped her off near her apartment or called a cab for her But when she looked
back, Hailey was gone.
Eleanor texted Hailey asking where she was. Hailey quickly replied with a meme indicating she was upset, then didn’t respond
anymore.
“Great, I’ve annoyed my future sister in law, Sigrid said
Putting down her phone, Eleanor turned to Sigrid and asked, “How do you know Hailey will be your sister–in–law?”
The attractive Signd glanced at Eleanor through the rearview mirror, pondering her question.
“That’s women’s intuition”
Eleanor rested her elbow on the car window, chin propped on her palm, lost in thought
If Hailey became her brother–in–law’s wife, what should Bernard call Cedric?
As she pondered this question, their car had already stopped outside the Clowers Manor
Garett was still sitting in the garden, waiting for Eleanor’s arrival
When he saw that Eleanor had brought Sigrid, his expression was a bit stiff
He calmly led the two into the living room, then asked Yilia to make coffee and desserts for them.
After chatting for a while. Eleanor awkwardly began, “Garett, you should know Ms. Laurence. She used to have depression too,
but she’s better now I brought her here to see you”
Eleanor genuinely wanted to help him, Garett could feel her good intentions. Looking at Sigrid again, his expression wasn’t as
frosty, “Ms Laurence and I are not the same.
right?”
After taking a sip of her coffee, Sigrid gracefully replied, “If I were not the same as you, I wouldn’t be here.”
Because they were the same, she had the confidence to try to persuade Jason But from the moment Jason walked in the door,
his deep gaze never left Eleanor. He seemed to be more in love with her than she was with him, no wonder his condition was so
serious.
Garett actually didn’t care about his depression, because to him, the disease was nothing more than insomnia at night and
constant fantasies of his own death. All he had to do was hang in there. But since Eleanor cared so much about him, how could
he disappoint her? “Does Ms. Laurence have any good treatment methods?”
