Chapter 440
Bernard begged Hailey, “Ms. Vulpe, I really need to talk to her. Can you please tell me where she is?”
Hailey couldn’t believe that the always high and mighty Bernard would actually speak to her in such a
pleading tone.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she replied, “Mr. Laurence, I really have no idea. But what I can tell
you is that their project is within the country, and they should be back in a few days. Why don’t you go
back first, and I’ll contact you when she returns?”
Bernard didn’t want to waste a single second. “Ms. Vulpe, can you help me get in touch with her?”
On his way to the villa, he had tried multiple phone numbers to call Eleanor, but no one answered.
His number had been blocked by her, and she wouldn’t pick up calls from unknown numbers, so he
had no choice but to ask Hailey for help.
Seeing Bernard be so persistent, Hailey felt helpless but still took out her phone to call Eleanor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter making several calls to Eleanor, no one answered.
Hailey wanted to give up, but Bernard signaled her to continue, so she kept calling over and over.
Eleanor was at the Q City development zone, surveying the site with an architect.
She was busy recording data and didn’t pay attention to her vibrating phone. It wasn’t until she finished
her work that she took it out.
Seeing Hailey’s call, she immediately walked to a safe area while taking off her hard hat, and picked up
the phone.
“Hailey, what’s up?
Before Hailey could speak, a hand snatched the phone away.
‘Eleanor, it’s me. Where are you?”
Hearing that deep and magnetic voice on the other end of the phone, Eleanor’s heart tightened.
She paused for a few seconds before hanging up the phone, seemingly unwilling to see him again, and
then ruthlessly turned off her phone. Seeing her hang up, Bernard hurriedly tried to call again, but she
had turned off her phone.
His heart ached so much that it was suffocating, and he clenched his phone even tighter.
‘Mr. Laurence, since Eleanor doesn’t want to see you, maybe you should just let it go…”
Bernard loosened his clenched fist, handed the phone back to Hailey, thanked her, and turned to go
back to his car.
Aidyn immediately followedto get into the driver’s seat, and was about to start the car when he received
Mr. Laurence’s command.
“Find her location.”
If she didn’t want to see him, he’d go to find her. Some things had to be made clear, and they couldn’t
just break up like this without any explanation. Aidyn thought Mr. Laurence had given up, but he had
just changed his way of finding her.
‘Yes, sir.”
He respectfully replied and then told Bernard, “Mr. Laurence, I’ll take you back to the manor first.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBernard nodded slightly and rubbed his throbbing temple.
After starting the car, Aidyn called Liana to come to the manor quickly and check on Mr. Laurence.
Watching the line of luxury cars race away from the villa, Hailey sighed deeply.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone again and sent Eleanor a text message:
[Eleanor, Bernard is so desperate to find you that he’s almost coughing up blood. Why don’t you give
him another chance?]
Hailey wasn’t clear about the conflict between them.
Eleanor had returned last night without saying anything, only mentioning that she and Bernard had
broken up.
Seeing her exhausted from the long journey, Hailey didn’t question her further.
This morning, Pearce hurried over and told her to pack up and head to the construction site.
The two rusted out, telling her they’d be back in a few days after visiting a neighboring city, and then
hurried away
But they didn’t tell her which city, so Hailey couldn’t help Bernard.
However, she’d still tell Eleanor about his situation.
As for how Eleanor would react after seeing it, that was none of her business.
