Chapter 148 Emotional Turmoil and Observation

Such a gaze stirred a surge of emotions within Eleanor's heart. Why was he looking at her like this? If Patrick had looked at her with such deep affection in her previous life, she would have been so happy she couldn't sleep. But in this life, it only made her nauseous.

"If you don't let go," Eleanor said, her lips pursed and her expression cold, "you can forget about ever seeing me again."

Upon hearing this, Patrick's face changed immediately. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly released Eleanor's hand. Eleanor quickly withdrew her hand, giving him a cool glance. "Stop following me. I'm going home."

Unexpectedly, before she could turn around, Patrick stepped forward, extending his arms and hugging her tightly. Eleanor was enveloped in his embrace, her nose filled with a gentle, elegant fragrance, and her ears echoing with Patrick's strong and steady heartbeat. Her breath hitched slightly.
