A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 581

In reality, Eleanor Shultz, who was lying in bed, wasn't asleep at all. She couldn't help but let a smile spread across her face.

It turned out he couldn't wait to make her his missus.

Bernard Laurence dialed another number.

Eleanor could vaguely hear him instructing Caleb to investigate Emilia and Ethan Ziegler.

It turned out that even if she didn't ask for his help, he would still quietly solve all of her problems.

Mr. Laurence always made her feel safe.

After Bernard had taken a shower and saw Eleanor curled up on the bed and sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but feel a rush of affection.

He dried his hair, put down his towel, lifted the blanket, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

After he had her snuggly in his arms, he leaned down to kiss her hair before holding her as he drifted off to sleep.

Still awake, Eleanor took in the faint scent of the man behind her, fresh from his bath.

She felt as if everything that was once out of reach was now hers. This made her incredibly happy.

She waited for Bernard to fall asleep, then turned in his arms to hold him, stealing a kiss on his chin.

Thank you, Bernard.

The man who was kissed let out a soft chuckle.

This time he didn't open his eyes, pretending to be oblivious. Sometimes he needed to feel her love too; it made him happy.

The next day, Hailey, dressed in a pink and white coat, pushed open the villa door to see Cedric Laurence standing in the snow.

He was wearing a black coat, leaning against the car, arms crossed, head tilted, sizing up the woman walking out of the villa.

"I promised Bernard I would take you to see Eleanor today."

He said, then gentlemanly opened the car door, hinting for Hailey to get in with a look.

Although Cedric won the verbal battle, when he saw her silence and looking out the window, he suddenly felt a blockage in his heart.

He tried to cough a few times to get her attention, but when it didn't work, he had no choice but to continue driving.

The two arrived at Laurence Manor in silence, and one after another entered the villa.

Compared to Cedric and Hailey, who were like strangers, the handsome man and beautiful woman on the couch in the living room looked much warmer.

The cold, noble, and handsome Bernard was quickly handling business on the computer.

The genteel Eleanor, holding a book on architectural design theory, was quietly flipping through the pages.

The two did not disturb each other, yet they were peacefully together, each busy with their things, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Hailey saw Eleanor return safely to Bernard's side, and a relieved smile spread across her face.

Cedric saw the happy look on Bernard's face with his beautiful woman by his side, but he felt a surge of dissatisfaction: Humph, this happiness was bought with his misery!
