A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 632

Bernard turned to gaze at her uniquely beautiful face, hesitated for a few seconds then let it out.

"You've been giving me the cold shoulder lately."

After saying this, he felt a wave of panic. He was terrified that she would take this opportunity to break up with him. But if he didn't say anything, he couldn't bear the pain of feeling both close yet distant with her.

Eleanor raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I've been cold to you?"

Unaware that she'd been neglecting Bernard due to her work, Eleanor looked incredulous. When had she been cold to him? She was so busy, yet she still found time to meet him, wasn't that enthusiastic enough?

Bernard didn't expect her to react like this and asked with some concern, "You... still want to marry me, right?"

Eleanor's eyebrows furrowed deeper, "If I don't marry you, then who do I marry?"

She thought Bernard was being ridiculous, forcefully pulled away from his embrace, turned to face him, "What's gotten into you tonight?"

Bernard, having realized what was going on, stared at her face, his lips slowly turned up, revealing a faint smile. It turned out, Eleanor hadn't been cold to him because she didn't want to marry him, but because she was oblivious to how she'd been neglecting him.

Bernard shifted his gaze from her face to the design drawings on the table, "Have you been busy with these lately?"

Eleanor followed his gaze to the designs on the table and nodded, "Yeah, I've been working on these designs every day, why?"

Bernard finally understood. Eleanor had been too busy to pay him attention. Bernard, who'd been overthinking things lately, felt a weight lifted off his heart once he knew the reason. His mood, once in the dumps, was back on cloud nine, and his downturned lips deepened into a smile.

Seeing him keep quiet while smiling at her freaked Eleanor out a bit. Just as she was about to ask him again, she was suddenly lifted off her feet. Eleanor, now in Bernard's arms, looked at him with wide eyes, puzzled, "Huh? What are you doing?"

Eleanor's face immediately turned red. She snuggled closer to his chest, lowered her head, and nodded softly, "Yes..."

After they returned from their wedding photoshoot in Milan, he had asked her whether she preferred the bed or bathroom. She casually said the bathroom, and he mistakenly thought that she especially liked making love in the bathroom, so he would always choose to do it in a bathroom.

This time was no exception. He didn't even glance at the bed and took her straight to the bathroom. He undressed her, leaned her against the wall of the bathtub, then whispered in her ear, "Eleanor, I'm going to teach you some new moves."

Eleanor was speechless. What a big misunderstanding, and what a variety of techniques he had!

As she was mentally complaining, he hooked her chin from behind. She tilted her head to accept his passionate kiss while experiencing the sensations he was giving her. Her mind slowly turned blank under his kiss, and she couldn't control herself, completely falling under his charm.

The man was equally entranced by her charm. His heart finally relaxed completely when he entered her. It seemed, only when he could feel her presence, could he truly let go of his worries.
