A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 351

He didn't say the rest, but Sophie got his drift.

If his big brother wasn't into her, he would've given her the boot a long time ago.

Sophie was so mad she turned pale, but she was also scared shitless.

If he found out about that incident back then…

She couldn't bear to think about it, let alone kick up a fuss in front of him.

Sophie clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and watched the Koenigsegg drive into the estate, fuming.

He could never uncover the past, but she had dirt on him.

Bernard, you'll pay through the nose for your betrayal!

Back at his villa, Bernard took off his coat and handed it to a servant, asking for some sanitizer.

The servant quickly brought it to him, and he sprayed some on the finger that Sophie had almost touched.

After cleaning up, Bernard headed to his study, tidied up some work, and opened a drawer.

Seeing his private phone, he felt a pang in his heart and found it hard to breathe.

He took a deep breath, picked up the phone, turned it on, and stared at the only name in the contacts.

She said he didn't even save her number, but little did she know, he had it memorized.

And his private phone only had her.

Bernard gripped his phone tighter but finally let go with a heavy heart.

He frowned and answered. "What's up?" he asked coldly.

A soft voice came from the other end, "Bernard, shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Bernard's icy face didn't change. He seemed reluctant to say more than necessary.

The caller knew his personality and went straight to the point, "If you want me to return to the country to help your friend restore their skin, you've got to grant me a favor."

A look of disgust flashed in Bernard's eyes, "Name your price, don't play games with me."

The caller chuckled, her voice still soft, "I don't really care. After all, I'm the only one in the world who can guarantee a 100% skin restoration. If you're up for it, let's talk. If you're not, forget it…"

Just as she was about to hang up, Bernard's cold voice came through, "What's the condition?"

A confident smile spread across her face. "Simple! Let me pursue you for three years!"
