Nathaniel Gallagher feared she might misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, "Yes, every year I represent the Audenburg Chamber of Comrce and attend the grand conference in Northwood."
He was a prominent parliantary representative from Audenburg.
Every year, when Northwood host the parliantary conference, he would attend.
However, this year is a bit special.
"...Heh, are you attending a eting, or are you planning to see her?"
Nathaniel Gallagher felt a tightness in his chest and could only coax her more patiently, "You see, you’re overthinking again. You can co with ."
"Just right, Northwood has the most renowned orthopedic hospital. Go with to Northwood and get your leg checked."
"You might be able to get your leg cured, and then you won’t need a wheelchair anymore."
Eleanor Churchill listened, her gaze complex and poignant as she looked at him, "So, you still look down on because of my disability, right?"
Nathaniel Gallagher’s mind exploded, and he felt a bit frenzied inside.
Nowadays, her temperant is increasingly sensitive and weird.
He clearly ant well.
But she instinctively thought he was dismissing her.
"...Eleanor, why do you have such thoughts again? If I despised you, would I choose to be with you?"
Eleanor Churchill gave a bitter smile, "So, you regret it, right? You feel aggrieved, right?"
"Nathaniel, I told you, you don’t need to pity , nor feel aggrieved yourself. If you don’t love anymore, please tell outright."
"You know, I’d rather have nothing than accept a false relationship."
"..." Nathaniel Gallagher listened, feeling both uncomfortable and frustrated.
The more he pacifies her, the harder she becos to console.
He’s really feeling ntally and physically exhausted.
But...
Every ti he sees her amputated hand and the scars on her face.
He can’t help but recall the scene of her daringly shielding him, being hacked wildly by blades.
Every ti this scene flashes in his mind.
He feels heartache and guilt.
Therefore, he’s willing to tolerate everything about her.
"Eleanor, can we not be like this? I find it hard to communicate with you about anything now, I’m afraid of upsetting you."
"I just want to say, you’re the most important person to . Even if I betray the whole world, I won’t betray you."
Eleanor Churchill listened, feeling more sour inside, "So, right now I’m only the most important person, not the most loved, right?"
Nathaniel Gallagher listened, looked at her deeply yet helplessly, "I love you, I love you, my most loved person is you. Eleanor Churchill, I love you; I will never change."
Eleanor Churchill listened, tears uncontrollably falling.
She knows.
His love had already shifted.
Yet, she’s still willing to hear him say he loves her.
"Eleanor, in the days ahead, let’s live happily and joyfully together, okay?"
"Don’t always overthink, it makes everyone very tired. Can’t we live like before, grow old together like ordinary couples? Isn’t that good?"
Eleanor Churchill choked up, "Yes, of course!"
Nathaniel Gallagher tightly embraced her, sorrowfully saying, "I truly wish you happiness, and I’ll do my utmost to make you happy."
"Nathaniel, having you say that makes feel very happy already."
"Then I’ll have soone pack our luggage, and you co with to Northwood! Just in ti, the hotel there is also opening; you can go take a look."
"...Okay, I’ll listen to you!"
"Alright, I’ll have soone prepare."
Eleanor Churchill nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, Henny hasn’t co over for several days. Bring Henny tomorrow; I want to spend ti with him."
Nathaniel Gallagher listened, his eyes flickered with worry, "Eleanor, let’s wait until we return from Northwood before bringing Henny to see you."
"Why?"
"Henny has been learning the piano recently, we can’t let him get distracted by play."
Last ti, she put Henny on a pedestrian bridge railing, which scared him badly.
And Henny was also terrified, refusing to ever co to The Rose Garden again.
Only when he said he’d bring the child to The Rose Garden, the child would start crying inconsolably. Now, even his mother knows about this. She watches the child closely every day, never allowing him to take the child away.
"But, I really want to see the child now."
Nathaniel Gallagher gave a gentle smile, lightly embraced her, "Don’t worry, my mom is taking good care of him, there’s no problem. Now, we should focus on the eting in Northwood and your leg check-up."
"...Okay!"
"Yes, bring more warm clothes, it might snow in Northwood next month."
"Nathaniel, are you staying here tonight?"
Looking at her eager and pleading eyes.
Nathaniel Gallagher couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation in his scalp, awkwardly chuckled, "Eleanor, I need to go back tonight to pack things. And prepare the speech for the conference, I really can’t stay to accompany you."
"I promise, after we return from Northwood, I’ll definitely move in to live with you."
Eleanor Churchill listened, her eager eyes dimd, "Alright, whatever you say."
"Don’t overthink, rest early tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to choose a wedding ring; we must pick the best one."
