A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 260

Bernard let out a sarcastic laugh, his eyes filled with self-mockery.

He tried to suppress the suffocating pain in his heart, picked up the wine glass, and downed it once again.

His sexy Adam's apple moved as he swallowed the pain and alcohol together.

Apparently, the alcohol couldn't numb the pain, so Bernard simply put down the glass and stumbled to the second floor.

Watching his cold and aloof figure, Cedric suddenly felt that his grandfather was right - it's best not to get involved with emotions.

Bernard had been taught not to fall in love since he was a child, but he ended up being the one who fell the hardest. Cedric, on the other hand, didn't care about love at all.

Cedric swirled his wine glass, glanced at the worried Aidyn, and asked, "Bernard knows that Ms. Shultz is still alive, but he's still so down. Did he try to get back together with her, only to get rejected?"

Aidyn withdrew his worried gaze and nodded at Cedric, "Ms. Shultz seems to be disappointed in Mr. Laurence."

He didn't say that Ms. Shultz didn't love Mr. Laurence, as he always felt that she had loved him.

In the past, every time he picked up Ms. Shultz, she would have a bright smile on her face.

Ms. Shultz knew that Mr. Laurence had a weak stomach, so she would make soup for him and ask Aidyn to deliver it secretly.

She was always docile and considerate when she was with Mr. Laurence.

In fact, they often spent time together at No.8 Mansion, and their relationship seemed quite warm and harmonious.

However, occasionally, Mr. Laurence would suddenly get angry and leave, then give Ms. Shultz the cold shoulder for a long time.

Aidyn didn't know the reason and never dared to ask Mr. Laurence. They carried on like this for five years.

Perhaps it was these events that made Ms. Shultz extremely disappointed in Mr. Laurence.

Aidyn had told Mr. Laurence about Ms. Shultz's feelings for him when he was angry, but he didn't believe it.

Now that they were in this situation, it seemed they were simply not meant to be. Maybe Ms. Shultz was never destined to belong to Mr. Laurence.

Cedric snapped his fingers in front of him to bring him back to reality, "Tell Bernard that since he's already been rejected, he should let her go and stop pushing."

As the head of the Laurence family, how could he lower himself again and again for a woman?

Aidyn sighed helplessly, "Mr. Laurence, if even you can't persuade him, I don't stand a chance."

Cedric sneered at him, "Anyway, this is your responsibility now. I don't want to see Bernard like this ever again."
