Chapter 69

Eleanor looked at Bernard with confusion, unsure of how to respond for a moment. But she felt that he had tolerated her for so long, and she owed him at least an explanation.

Eleanor collected her thoughts and replied indifferently, “I used to love him.”

Bernard pressed on, “And now?”

She felt she was no longer deserving of him.
