Cedric took the wheel, driving Bernard and Eleanor to Liana’s villa. As they arrived, Hailey and the group emerged, completely disregarding their driver and rushing towards Eleanor, who was stepping out of the backseat
“Eleanor, it’s been over a month! We’ve missed you” they exclaimed in unison
Eleanor beamed, opening her arms and embracing Hailey, followed by Liana Tmissed you guys too.”
Not to be left out, Nina suddenly appeared out of nowhere, latching onto Eleanor’s leg and looking up expectantly, anticipating a warm embrace What about me, what about me she pleaded, a hint of mischief in her voice

Only then did Nina catch on, holding her chubby arms tightly, huffing at Eleanor.
“Hmph, you’re making fun of me, I want a hug from Mr. Laurence.”
Bernard had just gotten out of the car when a pair of chocolate–covered hands reached out to him,
wanting a hug…
He looked at the hands, raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of distaste.
“Wash your hands first”
Nina, who had just been hit hard, opened her mouth wide to cry, but was choked by Bernard’s words.
“You look even dirtier when you cry.”
Nina’s wide open mouth, frozen in surprise, after a while…
“I’m so mad..”
Nina clenched her little fists, swearing she’d never talk to Bernard again, he’s too annoying.
Seeing that Nina was quite upset, Eleanor laughed and reached out, touching Nina’s angry and twisted
face.
“Nina, we bought you a lot of presents, wanna go see?”
“Where?!”

“Is this Dr Yeager?”
Hailey nodded, stepped aside, allowing Yeager to face Eleanor and Bernard, then introduced
“This is Yeager, a surgeon.”
After Hailey’s introduction, Yeager politely extended his hand.
“Mr. and Mrs. Laurence, nice to meet you”
His hand was extended towards Bernard, very respectful, but his fingers were slightly trembling
Bernard lowered his gaze, moving from the trembling fingers to Yeager’s face
His eyes were like stars in the night sky, bright yet inscrutable
Although Yeager had met many wealthy people, facing such indifferent eyes still made him nervous.
He wasn’t scared, it’s just that the man in front of him exuded a natural elegance and nobility.
As Yeager was staring at Bernard Bernard reached out and gently touched his fingertips, even this slight contact surprised Hailey
But Hailey knew, the only reason Bernard would break convention was for Eleanor.
