A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 567

Bernard had just sat down with Eleanor at the restaurant when a Rolls-Royce pulled up outside the mansion.

Cedric stepped out of the car, wrapped in a navy blue coat, and with a steady stride, quickly walked into the villa.

He handed his coat to a servant, brushed the snowflakes off his hair, then asked, "Where's my brother?"

The servant cautiously pointed towards the dining room, saying, "Mr. Laurence is having dinner."

Following the direction of the servant, Cedric looked towards the dining room. His face immediately sank when he saw the woman in his brother's arms.

He quickly walked up to them and pointed at Eleanor, saying, "How dare you show your face to my brother?"

Before Eleanor could respond, the man holding her suddenly lifted his eyes and coldly glared at Cedric, "Do you not want your fingers anymore?"

Only then did Cedric realize his overreaction. He quickly withdrew his finger and, facing Bernard's cold gaze, puzzledly asked, "After what she did to you, why are you still with her?"

Three months ago, Bernard was carried back home, unconscious for several days. Even after he woke up, he was so heartbroken that he vomited blood frequently. If not for their grandfather bringing in the world's best doctors, he would have been a goner.

His brother nearly lost his life multiple times for this woman. But what about her?

She had an affair with Ethan and even did that in front of him!

Yet Bernard protected her reputation and kept it all a secret.

If he hadn't overheard Aidyn at the hospital, he would still be in the dark.

Cedric's gaze at Bernard was full of incomprehension.

"Aren't you a clean freak? How could you?"

He was about to say how Bernard could accept a tainted woman when he was startled by a loud clang.

Cedric's handsome face was twisted in anger. He wished he could crack open his brother's head to see what was going on inside.

Seeing Cedric grinding his teeth, Eleanor quickly tugged at Bernard's sleeve and softly said, "Let it go; he doesn't know the whole story."

But Bernard didn't let Cedric off. He leaned back in his golden dining chair and coldly said, "Cedric, listen well. No matter the circumstances, you cannot be impolite to your sister-in-law, nor can you doubt her. If I find out you're treating her like you did today, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother."

Look at that, his brother, whom he had admired since childhood! He would treat his brother like this for a woman who betrayed him.

Cedric felt all their years of brotherhood were wasted. Just as he felt heartbroken, Bernard coldly lifted his hand and waved.

"Get out."

Don't stay here, disturbing him by feeding Eleanor the tonic.
