A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 413

She hopped out of the villa and quickly got a taxi to the restaurant.

By the time she got out of the car, it was already dark and drizzling, but it didn't dampen the cozy vibes in the restaurant.

Eleanor stood by the roadside, watching them.

The man was wearing a black suit, leaning back on the sofa, tilting his head slightly, looking at the woman across from him...

And the girl was in a sexy red gown, also lounging on the sofa, staring at the guy and talking.

Eleanor couldn't make out their expressions too well. But the atmosphere reminded her of when they were together.

She didn't want to believe they were on a date.

The fear ate away at her courage. She couldn't bring herself to go over there.

She hesitated for a long, long time, but eventually mustered up the courage to walk towards the restaurant.

Just as she reached the edge of the road, she saw Bernard suddenly turn his head and look out the window.

Eleanor quickly waved at him, but...

He was expressionless.

His cold demeanor made her hand freeze in mid-air.

She remembered worrying that he would become indifferent after getting what he wanted when she agreed to be with him.

Now he had claimed both her body and heart. So, had her fears come true?

Eleanor slowly lowered her hand, still standing there...

She clenched her fists, scrutinizing Bernard. She still couldn't believe he would look at her with such cold eyes.

"I'm here to see Ms. Penrod and Mr. Laurence, please let me in..."

The guard refused to let her pass.

She could only stand helplessly at the entrance, watching the people inside.

He kept staring out the window. He must have seen her pleading with the guard, but he remained unmoved...

Tears streamed down Eleanor's face uncontrollably.

It happened that the drizzle turned heavier. Raindrops pelted her body.

Soaked, Eleanor walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Bernard.

After a while, she tiptoed and reached up to knock on the glass.
