Chapter 401
Bernard held down the drawing, looking down at Eleanor who was fully focused on her sketch.
1 can help you get your identity back. I can even set up a company for you, so you can do design work with your own identity” Hearing this, Eleanor stopped. She looked at Bernard and shook her head without hesitation.
“I want to help my sister fulfill her dream first.”
Her sister had taken on more than fifty projects she liked but hadn’t had the chance to complete before she passed away.
No matter what, she had to finish these projects in her sister’s name so her sister could rest in peace.
“As for setting up a company, I’ll pass on that.”
She wanted to reach a level where she could stand beside him on her own after fulfilling her sister’s dream.
Although she knew she couldn’t reach his level, at least she wouldn’t be like she was now, without education or background.
Bernard seemed to see night through her thoughts. He said, “Eleanor, I’m willing to creite everything for you. Don’t worry too much.”
Eleanor stood up straight and looked at Bernard in the sunlight. “I know. But there are some things I want to accomplish on my own.”
If one day in the future he was willing to marry her, she would have to reach the top on her own so no one could accuse her of climbing the social ladder with a
man
Seeing her like this, his love for her deepened.
Eleanor focused on drawing her designs. Bernard, unable to persuade her otherwise could only help her by preparing a series of medicines and food, and silently staying by her side.
Busy until the early morning, Eleanor’s draft took on a preliminary form, but still needed further modifications.
Seeing that she wanted to continue drawing, Bernard picked her up and carried her to the master bedroom.
Eleanor was placed on the bed, resting her head on a soft pillow. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Temporarily putting aside her design thoughts, she drowsily looked at the man who was unbuttoning his shirt….
Seeing his smooth abdominal muscles, Eleanor became nervous.
She quickly rolled into the corner and wrapped herself in the blanket.
Bernard, who was originally planning to go to the bathroom, couldn’t help but smile at her reaction.
He walked over, grabbed Eleanor’s foot, and pulled her to the edge of the bed before propping himself up above her.
“Eleanor, are you having dirty thoughts?”
He was the one always having the thoughts, not her!
She pushed Bernard away and rolled back into the corner with the blanket.
Her eyes were the only thing exposed as she stared at him warily
Bernard laughed
“I won’t touch you tonight. Sleep well.”
After saying this, the man turned and went to the bathroom.

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...
