A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 

Liana knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. 

Liana figured Eleanor must have been asleep. She was wondering how to get inside when a roar came from behind her – 

“Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my house?!” 

Hailey had sent several messages to Eleanor these past few days without any reply. She was worried about her, so she decided to pay her a visit. 

As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw about ten men dressed in black. Jason and Liana were stopped by the group, but Hailey didn’t notice. Thinking it was a robbery, she silently grabbed a baseball bat nearby, raised it up with a broom, and yelled loudly. 

She wanted to scare the group with her authoritative presence, but they just turned around and gave her a blank stare. 

Hailey was speechless. 

Upon hearing Hailey’s voice, Jason gestured for the bodyguards to clear the way, allowing her to see him. “What are you doing standing at my door with so many people?” she questioned, her anger surfacing. Her eyes rolled at him. He had previously mistreated Eleanor, and now he seemed to be continuing his antics. 

Jason’s head drooped, displaying a sense of apology. “Sorry, Hailey. I came to talk to her about something.” 

Hailey set down the broom and responded icily, “Wasn’t she taken away by Bernard?” Unaware that Eleanor had already returned, she initially wanted Jason to leave. However, her attention was drawn to his bloodshot eyes. 

She couldn’t say the harsh words she wanted to say. After all, he was the younger brother she had been caring for since childhood. Some things she just couldn’t say. 

Jason said, “Eleanor’s back, but she doesn’t want to see me.” 

Hailey rolled her eyes once more, exclaiming, “After how cruel you were to her, how could she possibly want to see you?” 

Jason’s eyes welled up with redness once again. Although he wasn’t directly responsible, his older brother’s actions tied him to the consequences. It was understandable for Eleanor to harbor resentment towards him. 

His heart ached, not because Eleanor despised him, but because she had declared her moving on and no longer loving him. Unaware of the details, Hailey assumed that Eleanor had taught Jason a lesson, judging by his current state. During their past conflicts, -Eleanor would give him the silent treatment, prompting him to wait outside her door while Hailey acted as a mediator. 

But this time, things weren’t so simple, and it wasn’t possible for them to reconcile as they did before. 

Nevertheless, as the mediator, Hailey still wanted to help. 

Hailey pushed Jason aside and opened the door, “Even if you want to see her, you don’t need to arrange these people.” 

Jason, grateful that Hailey was still willing to open the door for him, quickly waved for the bodyguards to leave. 

The bodyguards, though, were worried. Their boss had just been attacked at a banquet, and now they didn’t dare leave his side. With a cold glance from Jason, the bodyguards reluctantly went downstairs to wait. 

Hailey opened the door, and Jason and Liana went inside.
