A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 735

"He's on that ship, inviting you over for a chat."

Bernard followed the direction of Caleb's finger and looked at the massive ship sailing alongside them.

A man, exuding an aura of elegance, with a beret hat on, stood on the deck of the ship.

Upon seeing Bernard, he took off his beret and nodded at him with a smile.

Bernard's calm expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes became as sharp as a knife.

"How'd he know my route?"

"Mr. Penrod's ship must have followed ours after we set sail."

Which means that since he left the castle, Mr. Penrod had been tailing him.

Bernard didn't like the feeling of being controlled, being watched. His face became even more serious.

Mr. Penrod on the ship, however, moved his lips without making a sound. But Bernard could read his lip movements.

He clenched his fists, turned back, and glanced at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed.

A few seconds later, Bernard turned back to Caleb and said seriously, "Make sure to keep her safe."

After saying this, Bernard took a gun from Caleb's waist and boarded the gigantic ship with a group of bodyguards.

Mr. Penrod was a man in his fifties, well-maintained, elegant, and seemed very gentlemanly.

Seeing Bernard board the ship, the smile on his face became more obvious, "Bernard, happy honeymoon."

Mr. Penrod had been mentoring Bernard since he was a child, teaching him how to use guns and make plans. Every time he saw him, Bernard would show respect.

However, now, Bernard's respect for Mr. Penrod vanished the moment he had people point guns at Eleanor and threatened him.

Bernard, holding the gun tightly and with a poker face, asked, "What do you want?"

Mr. Penrod raised his gloved hand and patted Bernard's shoulder, "Of course, I'm here to congratulate you on your marriage."

Bernard pushed his hand away with the gun, coldly looking at him, scoffed, "Really?"

"I won't bring her."

"Not bringing her? Why? Didn't you say that you've decided?"

On the other end of the phone, Evelyn's voice was sharp and sudden, making Eleanor wake up fully.

"You heard me, there's nothing to think about."

Eleanor's tone was a bit confrontational, Evelyn was taken aback, and then her voice became gentler:

"Ms. Shultz, don't you want to know who your parents are?"

"I don't."

Eleanor hung up the phone after saying this. She didn't care who her parents were. Even if she knew, it wouldn't change anything.

If she found out, it might stir up some old grudges and conflicts. By then, the family she worked so hard to build might cease to exist.

She didn't want to lose the home she had been longing for all her life because of this, nor did she want to lose Bernard, who loved her so much that he was willing to give up his life for her.
