A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 409

When Eleanor stepped outside and saw the fleet of fancy cars parked there, she felt a bit lost.

Foreign land, unfamiliar surroundings, strangers everywhere. This loneliness made her want to bolt.

She stood at the entrance, weighed down by her emotions. Just then, a large hand caught hers.

"Eleanor."

It was Bernard.

Eleanor didn't dare to look up at him, just held onto his hand.

Seeing his careful demeanor, Eleanor felt a lot calmer.

The thought of Bernard losing his virginity to Eleanor made Teresa green with envy.

She had fantasized countless times about being tightly embraced and passionately kissed by Bernard.

Seeing Bernard passionately kissing another woman was like a knife to Teresa's heart.

That domineering, passionate man should have been hers, not the worthless Eleanor.

After quietly observing for a while, Teresa picked up her phone and dialed a number...
