Chapter 377
When Eleanor struggled to break free from Bernard’s arms, she took a step back, leaning against the elevator wall, looking at him, and asked, “Where are you planning to take me?”
Seeing her warness, Bernard’s eyes gradually dimmed, Tm taking you to my villa”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor felt somewhat helpless, “Didn’t you understand what I said to you at the hospital?”
She had clearly expressed that she didn’t want to see him anymore, yet he wanted to take her to his villa
Bernard stared at her for a few seconds, then said flatly. 7 got it, but where can you go under your current circumstances?”
Eleanor was speechless and extremely embarrassed, “My friends and I will figure something out.”
Bernard replied, “He have his own problems, what solution can he come up with?”
Although Eleanor wanted to maintain some dignity in front of him, she found he wasn’t wrong, but…
Before Eleanor could finish, Bernard interrupted her, “Eleanor, hotels arent safe, take my advice and stay at my villa
In a foreign country, he couldn’t always ensure her safety but only when she was within his sight, could he feel at ease
Hearing his words, Eleanor hesitated for a while, then clenched her hands, and looked up at Bernard, 1 know you’re thinking about my safety, but have you considered how Teresa would feel?”
Bernard looked at her, his brows slightly furrowed, “What does this have to do with her?”
Eleanor clenched her hands, “Yesterday, I saw her holding you
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Bernard understood what she meant
He took a step forward,
Raised his slender fingers to the elevator door above her head, looking down at her.
“Eleanor, remember, the only one who can touch me is you
Eleanor’s heart fluttered, somewhat in disbelief, and lowered her head
Bernard used his other hand to gently lift her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes
“Teresa hugged me yesterday. She took advantage of my unpreparedness, and I didn’t allow it
He looked at her pale face explaining softly, 1 have nothing to do with her”
Herarely spoke to her in such a gentle tone, it made Eleanor a bit uncomfortable
She wanted to avoid his gaze, but he tightly held her chin, not letting her move
Eleanor, I once promised Teresa a chance to pursue me, but the deadline was three months, which is now over
“Moreover, during this period, I was always working at the Space Agency, and never had any contact with her don’t get the wrong idea because of this”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
