Chapter 337
Bernard didn’t say a word, not seeming in the mood to chat with Garett.
Yet, Garett just smirked, unruffled, and chuckled, “When we were kids, we sure had it tough. As I got
older, I thought to myself, when I can stand on my own two feet, I’ll marry her and make sure she
doesn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of her life…”
He paused, seemingly lost in the past, You know, she’s asked me a million times when I was going to
marry her. I always told her to wait, just wait, until I realized, some people you can’t just keep them
waiting…”
Bernard glanced at him. “Well, you got your wish.”
The smile on Garett’s lips, deep yet bitter, “Yeah, I did…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBernard said, “Congrats.”
As he was about to leave, Garett stopped him, “I won’t be taking this acquisition contract. You can have
it back.”
Bernard froze, turned back and said, “It wasn’t for you.”
Garett laughed, “I know.”
Saving him, taking care of him, protecting him and now handing over The Clowers Group to him, all
these, it’s all for Eleanor.
It’s enough to prove how much he loves Eleanor, but there’s one thing Garett doesn’t quite get….
He looked Bernard up and down, a puzzled look on his face, “If you loved her so much, why did you
abandon her?”
Bernard’s face turned pale, “That’s none of your business.”
Garett didn’t push it, he just handed back the contract, “Mr. Laurence, thank you, but I don’t want to
owe you any favor.”
Bernard scoffed, “You’re only able to protect her once you’re back in The Clowers Group. What right do
you have to talk about favors right now?”
Garett was stung by his words, making him feel worthless in front of Bernard.
He clenched the contract in his hand, took a deep breath and gave a bitter smile, “You’re right, I can’t
protect her.”
In the past, he couldn’t provide a better life for her, and due to family issues, she was hurt.
Now, he’s in a wheelchair, permanently disabled, how can he protect her….
The man in front of him, radiating a powerful aura, is in control of The Laurence Group, The Stanley
Family, The Ratliff Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith him, how could his Eleanor ever struggle or get hurt….
After a moment, Garett set down the contract and took out a delicate box.
He slowly opened the box, took out the diamond ring inside, and said, “This diamond ring, I prepared it
for her eight years ago. It’s not very expensive, but it was bought with the scholarship money I earned
from endless nights of research and countless experiments…”
After regaining his memory, he remembered taking this diamond ring back to The Clowers family when
he returned. He had it retrieved a few days ago.
It was supposed to be a wedding gift for Eleanor, but now….
He gave a tiny smile.
Then he slowly turned to Bernard, “You probably don’t know what happened between me and her the
night of the car accident, do you?”
Bernard looked down on him, coldly, “I’m not interested in your past together.”
Even though he knew Bernard wasn’t interested, Garett continued to tell the story of their past.
