A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 397

She knew Bernard's tricks were involved somehow, but she didn't want to think too deeply about it, so she just answered, "Maybe he left W City."

Pearce didn't care about it and said 'goodbye' before hanging up.

As soon as Eleanor exited the contact list, Hailey called with a video chat.

After she answered, Hailey appeared in the video, leaning against a bar counter.

She held her phone in one hand and a slim cigarette in the other, and quickly smiled at the camera when she saw Eleanor pick up.

"Eleanor, you've been in W City for half a month now, have you missed me?"

"Of course."

Eleanor smiled back and, seeing the cigarette in her hand, advised, "Hailey, cut down on the smoking."

Her addiction was quite heavy, and she started smoking again after quitting for a few days.

Women should stay away from smoking and drinking, but Hailey didn't care.

She couldn't live without cigarettes and alcohol, maybe it was the nightlife environment that made it hard for her to quit.

Hailey casually raised her eyebrows: "It's good tobacco; won't hurt me. Don't worry."

Eleanor sighed deeply and asked, "Hailey, have you been okay during this half-month?"

Hailey's beautiful eyes glared at Eleanor.

"You just remembered me now, I don't know what you've been doing all this time, I text you and you take forever to reply..."

Eleanor felt embarrassed and lowered her head.

"I..."

Eleanor saw that Hailey had seen through her and didn't hide it anymore, nodding slightly at the video.

Hailey felt relieved, because Eleanor still loved Bernard, and Bernard loved her too.

Sooner or later, the two would get together after clearing up misunderstandings and psychological barriers. Hailey was happy for Eleanor but also worried.

She was afraid that Eleanor would be hurt again. After all, it would be difficult for someone like Bernard to step into the marriage hall.

But Hailey didn't say these words, feeling that Bernard loved Eleanor so much that he would break through all the difficulties to marry her.

Hailey put her worries aside, looked at the hickeys on her neck, and advised, "Take it easy, don't bring me a godson when you come back home."

Hailey’s words instantly brought back the blush on Eleanor's face that had just faded, "Hailey, can you not be so blunt?"

Hailey pointed at Eleanor's neck on the screen with her manicured finger, "Look at yourself, who is more straightforward?"
