A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 580

Eleanor clenched her hands together; her words stuck on the tip of her tongue: "Did Emilia betray Ethan?"

As for that, George wasn't too sure either: "I was not in G country those years; I have no idea how Emilia and Mr. Ziegler suddenly had a falling out. The only one who knows the real story is Mr. Ziegler himself, but he wouldn't tell a soul."

That chapter of his life was a thorn in Ethan's side, and being as proud as he was, there was no way he'd bare his wounded heart for others to see.

Eleanor got the picture and nodded at George.

After spilling the beans to Eleanor about his deepest secrets, George suddenly relaxed and said, "Ms. Shultz, if the truth he uncovers turns out to be the same as before and it affects him, please, for Emilia's sake, lend a helping hand to Mr. Ziegler."

Eleanor didn't quite get what George meant when he said, "How can I help?"

George's gaze landed on Bernard, who was standing next to Eleanor, and he suddenly closed his mouth.

So he hid the turmoil in his eyes and laughed it off: "Never mind, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

With that, George left them standing in the snow and headed back toward the villa.

Bernard watched George's retreating figure, his indifferent eyes slowly filling with a deep, unreadable emotion.

The meaning behind George's words and the answer that Ethan had left unsaid before his suicide gave Bernard food for thought.

Whether Ethan could differentiate between Eleanor and Emilia, Bernard didn't know. Ethan had not given any answer, or maybe he had, but no one knew about it.

Bernard, umbrella in hand, looked at Eleanor, who was still lost in thoughts about Emilia.

A strong sense of possession suddenly filled Bernard's eyes.

Regardless of Ethan's answer, whether he could tell the difference or not, Eleanor could only ever belong to him, and no one else had better lay a finger on her!

He chucked his umbrella to Caleb, bent down to scoop up Eleanor, buckled her into the car, and then said, "Eleanor, let's go home."

Eleanor snapped out of her daze and gave him a sweet smile.

"Okay, let's go home."

His anger boiled over.

Mr. Laurence had not only ruined his plans but also called him in the middle of the night, causing Hailey to think it was one of his many female companions calling him. He couldn't even get in the door now; it was damnable!

Cedric gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah, what's up?"

He was pissed, but his tone was gentle, seemingly maintaining his usual polished image.

Bernard, careful not to wake Eleanor, lowered his voice to a whisper and said, "I'm requisitioning the proposal plan you set up before . You handle it tomorrow."

Cedric sucked in a breath, calmed himself down, and asked in a seemingly friendly manner, "Didn't you look down on my plan before? Why the sudden change of mind?"

"I'm in a hurry to get married."

These four words left Cedric speechless. Before he could even retort, the other party hung up the phone.

Cedric, burning with rage, clutched his phone and stood there in the cold wind and snow, cussing Bernard out.
