A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1006

After Eleanor and Sigrid had a chit–chat about Robin’s sexual orientation, they parted ways and

headed home.

Once back at Latonia’s place, Sigrid spilled the beans about everything

In gratitude, Latonia made a special trip to the Fiord Roundabout with a little something for Eleanor.

Feeling a bit awkward to reject the gift, Eleanor accepted it, and then returned the favor by sending a

gift to Latonia’s family.

Through this exchange, the relationship between Eleanor and Cedric’s parents got closer.

However, Bernard seemed a bit off, not uttering a word while sitting on the study room couch after

getting home.

Seeing him not fiddling with his phone or reading a book, just staring at her, Eleanor slowly put down

the ruler in her hand.

“What’s up, babe?” she asked, after he had been sitting for nearly ten minutes.

Bernard felt unsettled. He stretched his long legs and put one foot on the other knee.

“What do you think?” he asked.

Bernard, sitting on the sofa in his suit with his legs crossed, looked quite imposing.

Eleanor, resting her cheek on one hand, admired her husband, “I think, you are mad about what

happened today.”

Bernard shot her a cold glance, “What happened today? What are you talking about?”

Seeing him playing dumb, Eleanor laughed, “Well, if you don’t know, let’s just pretend nothing

happened.”

Bernard’s handsome face darkened with annoyance. After a while, he couldn’t resist the urge to

confront Eleanor, so he stood up and

walked over to her.

His long fingers landed on the architectural blueprint, and his tall figure leaned towards her. “Babe, are

you trying to piss me off on purpose?” he asked.

Eleanor, still resting her chin on her hand, looked up at him and tilted her head in response. “Didn’t you

say you don’t know what happened? How can it piss you off?” she retorted, using her wit to challenge

him..

Unable to come up with a good counterargument, Bernard decided to walk around the desk and lift her

up in one swift motion. “Looks like I need to teach you a lesson in the bathroom,” he said assertively.

Knowing she couldn’t break free from his grip, Eleanor let him carry her. “Going to the bathroom?

Who’s going to be taught? We have yet to see,” she teased.

Bernard reached the door, wearing a smirk on his face. “Are you saying you’re going to teach me?” he

inquired playfully.

Putting on a proud expression, Eleanor lifted her chin and replied, “Depends on my mood.”

Bernard chuckled at her boldness. “Only you dare to act up in front of me,” he remarked.

Saying this, he hoisted Eleanor, kicked open the bathroom door, and placed her on the sink.

Soon, intense sounds came from the bathroom, lasting into the deep night. It was unclear who was the

one being taught.

Around midnight, a man’s voice, laced with lust, came from the bathroom-

“After I’m done teaching you, I’ll go teach Robin.”

“How are you going to teach him?”

“Whichever hand of his touched you, I’ll chop it off.”

“So if my nails scratched his arm, you’re going to chop off my hand too?”

“Of course.”

After a while, Eleanor’s voice came, teaching Bernard-

“Robin is gay, and his boyfriend is Nathan.”

Their passionate conversation ended there, along with Bernard’s words:

“Next time you meet your cousin, please tell him, I wish him happiness”

Once Robin stepped in, Cedric’s problem was solved. Next up was the matter of Yeager.

The person Bernard sent to investigate Yeager came back and reported, “There are only two

possibilities. One, Yeager is hiding his illness, only he knows and hasn’t told the patient, or hasn’t had

the time to. This is why he could take advantage of it. The other possibility is that Yeager bribed the

coroner to produce a fake autopsy report. I personally lean towards both possibilities being true,

otherwise, it would be too perfect, with no issues to be found.”

After hearing this, Liana agreed with the analysis, “Mr. Laurence, shall we summon the coroner for

questioning? If he was bribed, we can offer him more money. As long as he tells us the truth, we can

go easy on him.”

Bernard, sitting in his office chair, pondered for a few seconds before asking Liana, “How for has the

relationship between Ms. Vulpe and Dr. Yeager progressed?”

Liana was taken aback, but then quickly got it, “After I told Hailey everything that happened that day,

they had a fight at home. Hailey seems inclined to break up. But Dr. Yeager threatened Ms. Vulpe with

his parents, insisting they at least meet first before discussing a breakup. Probably afraid that Ms.

Vulpe would really break up, he brought over his parents who were supposed to visit next month. The

meeting is set for the end of this month.”

Bernard, comprehending, nodded, “Then let’s wait until they meet.”

Liana was puzzled at his words, but after some thought, she understood Mr. Laurence’s intention. He

probably didn’t want to deal with Yeager at this time out of respect for Hailey. They would wait until

Hailey had met the parents and then decide what to do. She then asked, “Mr. Laurence, what if Hailey

agrees to marry Yeager due to parental pressure?”

Bernard’s determined eyes radiated a sense of planned resolve, “That won’t happen.”

They could only deal with Yeager without worry once Ms. Vulpe let go, to keep their hands clean.
