A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 611

Eleanor felt a pang in her heart as she lowered her head. What kind of background could she have had as an orphan?

Blake sneered when he saw her silence, "I've done my homework on you. You’re an orphan. Even though you've found your sister, she's just a designer; how could she ever match up to my grandson?"

True, if you compared their backgrounds, she couldn't match up. But, "Even as a designer, my sister has achieved remarkable success in her field."

He could belittle her background, but her sister was off-limits.

Blake clearly looked down on a mere designer, but he didn't argue with Eleanor, simply stating, "You know that's your sister's achievement. It has nothing to do with you."

His point being, her sister's success didn't reflect her own. Eleanor agreed with this. But he misunderstood her. She was just defending her sister...

Eleanor tried to explain, but Blake moved on from the first issue to the next, "Ms. Shultz, where did you graduate from?"

This question hit her hard, darkening her eyes...

Seeing her silence, Blake answered for her, "Didn't even get into the University of A, just some regular college. And my grandson got into a top school at a young age. You still think you're good enough for him?"

Eleanor's fingers clenched tightly, as she faced Blake. She was not intimidated by his aura but doubted herself because of his questions...

"I understand your point, but I'm sorry, I won't leave Bernard just like that."

He once said, if she left him again, he wouldn't be able to bear it. And she, couldn't lose him again.

Seeing Eleanor still determined, a layer of frost formed on Mr. Laurence's handsome face. "Since you won't leave him, I'll ask you the third question...."

His cold and indifferent gaze moved from Eleanor's face to her belly, "Ms. Shultz, I heard you can't have children, is that true?"
