A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 737

"Nah, Vanya's already gone."

That young lady ain't her.

Mr. Penrod stared blankly at Eleanor, and Bernard's expression shifted too.

"Mr. Penrod, do you know my wife?"

Mr. Penrod snapped back to reality, his eyes regaining their composure.

"Is she your new wife?" Mr. Penrod shot back.

"Didn't you check her background?" Bernard asked suspiciously.

Wasn't Mr. Penrod supposed to be watching him?

How come he didn't check the background of his wife?

Mr. Penrod turned to look at Bernard, who looked on guard.

"Bernard, I treat you like my own son. Why would I investigate your wife?"

The doubt in Bernard's eyes vanished in an instant. Mr. Penrod treated him even better than his own son.

As a kid, he had doubts about this, but as he grew older, he figured Mr. Penrod might be seeing him as a valuable tool.

But Mr. Penrod never exploited him, in fact, the tasks he gave him were aimed at giving him an advantage in the business world.

As Bernard was deep in thought, Mr. Penrod patted his shoulder again.

"Bernard, your new wife looks exactly like Vanya of the Pine family."

"Didn't you check her background before you married her?"

Bernard froze, slowly turning to look at Eleanor.

The woman on the ship saw him looking at her and immediately waved to him.

"She's an orphan, she has nothing to do with the Pine family."

Even if she did, what of it? She's his wife, their love can't be stopped by anyone.

"You better be clear, don't let your wife be driven to death by the Laurence family too."

After hearing this, Bernard's expression stiffened, his eyebrows furrowed.

"What do you mean 'too'?"

Bernard quickly handed the phone back to Caleb, giving him a look, then turned and followed Eleanor.

"Why didn't you sleep a bit longer?"

"Evelyn's call woke me up."

Bernard suddenly stopped, looking down at Eleanor who was standing in front of him.

"What did she say to you?"

"She wanted to trade my background information for Nina, but I didn't agree."

Bernard's brows gradually relaxed, then suddenly looked scared, holding Eleanor tightly.

"Eleanor, no matter what happens in the future, you must believe that I will never hurt you."

Hearing this, Eleanor lifted her head from his chest, only to see his face was somewhat pale.

"What did that man just say to you?"

His emotional reaction was so strong, it must have something to do with that seemingly elegant gentleman.

Bernard shook his head. How could he tell her that in six months, he would be going to the Area Opaca alone?
