Chapter 1379
Yates brushed off Bernard’s questions, continuing to lay down the terms with a sense of urgency that couldn’t be mistaken.
“Once you’ve seen each other, you can’t breathe a word to Eleanor about how Area Opaca’s been messing with your freedom, or that there’s a chip lodged in your head. You’re not to tell her about the forced divorce or our deal. Just play it cool and keep your role as Agent 2-9.”
Bernard, clueless about Yates endgame, knitted his brows as he listened to these bizarre demands. Without spilling the beans to Eleanor, how was he going to explain his 23 days of absence, the lack of contact, and the Sophie incident that pushed her towards divorce?
As the gears turned in Bernard’s head, a sudden realization dawned on him, and his frosty gaze lifted to meet the dark mask before him. “Are you related to Eleanor?” Only a family tie would explain Yates’ fear of Eleanor learning about Bernard’s ordeals in Area Opaca.
Bernard’s sharp insight caused Yates’ fingers, resting casually on his thigh, to twitch involuntarily. “Since you’ve already figured it out, I might as well come clean.”
Yates had never intended to keep it a secret; it was a truth that would be evident the moment they met. Standing up from the couch, he approached Bernard and looked down at him from his greater height. “I saw Eleanor on surveillance, noticed she bore a striking resemblance to my late wife, and sought her out for a DNA test. Turns out, she’s my granddaughter.”
