Chapter 290
The rain was pouring down, drenching the man from head to toe.
His thick hair and crisp suit were soaked by the relentless downpour. The rainwater ran down his
stunning, flawless face and onto his slender neck.
He seemed completely unfazed, walking straight towards his car.
Seeing him return, Liana hurriedly held up an umbrella and walked in front of him, shielding him from
the rain.
*Mr. Laurence, I’m so sorry” Liana said.
It was her fault for coming to see Ms. Shultz without Mr. Laurence’s permission.
She thought that by explaining everything, Eleanor might consider returning back to Mr. Laurence, but
she didn’t expect this outcome.
Raindrops fell from Bernard’s forehead, landing on his thick eyelashes, making him shiver slightly.

Liana was taken aback, finding it hard to accept this outcome, “Mr. Laurence, Eleanor did love you.”
Bernard smiled faintly, “Liana, the only person she loves is Garett.”
Seeing him like this, Liana frowned, “Mr. Laurence, she just admitted to loving you very much. It’s just
that when she tested you, all she got was disappointment. That’s why things turned out this way.”
Bernard’s cold gaze gradually reddened.
He lowered his eyes, looking at his right hand.
When she saw his hand earlier, she cried. It was the first time she had cried for him.
Was this what it meant to have been loved? Why couldn’t he feel anything at all.
He turned his head, looking at the petite figure in the distance. After a long silence, he said to Liana,
“Liana, she loves Garett more…”
Maybe she once loved him, but compared to Garett, the one who had hurt her countless times, what
did he even mean to her?
Liana tightly gripped the umbrella, anxiously saying, “Mr. Laurence, I think Ms. Shultz’s guilt towards
Garett is greater than her love. If you had explained everything earlier, she might not have chosen
Garett. But you were too late, and she had already made a promise to take care of him for the rest of
her life. If you had explained earlier.”
Bernard hid his reluctance and interrupted her, “Liana, just let it go. Don’t make her feel bad.”
For Eleanor, Garett was more than just a first love. How could she let go of a relationship that had been
dependent on each other since childhood?
It was because he knew she couldn’t let go of Garett that he used Garett to threaten her.
In fact, when he took her to see Garett, he knew she would never return to his side. But he still tried to
fight for her. After hearing his explanation, she only replied with an apology.
He knew that no matter what he said or how he explained, she would never choose him. And he didn’t
have anything good to explain, as he had indeed
hurt her.

Getting her forgiveness now was already the greatest mercy he could expect. How could he hope that
she would choose him?
Bernard suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and jumped into the car.
Liana stood there, watching the Koenigsegg disappear from sight.
She sighed deeply, guessing this was what people called a missed opportunity.
The man in the car suddenly told the driver to stop when they passed a certain street.
Aldyn immediately hit the brakes and turned to ask Bernard, “Mr. Laurence, what’s wrong?”
The man looked at the bodyguard in the passenger seat coldly, “You escort her home, and don’t get
close to her.”
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then quickly understood, responding with a ‘yes‘ before
grabbing an umbrella and getting out of the car.
