Eleanor's complexion, which had somewhat improved under Bernard's care, had gone pale again. She trembled, took a weak step back, her cold fingers lightly touching her lower abdomen. She and Bernard had slept together so many times but she had never shown any signs of pregnancy. Could it be she couldn't have kids?
Seeing her turn pale, Blake reminded her coldly, "Ms. Shultz, the head of the Laurence family needs to have an heir. If you can't bear a child, how can you be part of the Laurence family?"
Letting the Laurence family's leader get married to a woman without any background, low education and inability to have children, it would make the family a laughingstock. He would never let that happen!
After saying this, Blake took out a check from his suit pocket, already prepared, and handed it to Eleanor.
"He wants to marry you with the entire Laurence family's fortune. I won't take back what he has given you. Here's another check, you can write any amount you want on it. The only condition is that you leave him."
Mr. Laurence said all this just to get her to leave. He hit her weak spot with simple words, thinking he had succeeded. He ended the conversation by giving her a check.
However, Eleanor tore up the check and handed it back to him. "Sir, trying to send me away with a check will not only hurt your grandson but also make me look down on the former head of the Laurence family."
Having said this, her face gradually regained some color. "As for what you said about background, education, and children. I once rejected him for these reasons, but he said he didn't care. He said he didn't need children, all he wanted was me by his side."
Blake was a clever man; he read between the lines. Bernard loved her deeply and couldn't leave her. Regardless of her background, education, or children, if Bernard was willing to sacrifice for her, he would never agree to this marriage.
