Chapter 402
Eleanor’s mind went totally blank
Bemard stared into her eyes, seemingly waiting for her answer.
Eleanor couldn’t remember anything and said “I don’t remember..”
If she called out Garett’s name in her sleep again, maybe there was no need to continue their relationship.
She said, “Sorry, I’ll leave now…”
Just as she was about to get up and go, Bernard tightly hugged her, flipped her over and pinned her down. He stared intensely at her.
He didn’t say anything, just gently kissed her cheek. Then he got up, carried her into the bathroom….
The sounds of passion between a man and a woman soon became muffled by the sound of water….
The last voice was the man’s, full of desire and magnetism.
He said, “Eleanor, you finally called my name in your dream…
Eleanor was exhausted, but she still forced herself to work on the design drawings.
Finally, when she put down her ruler, Eleanor collapsed in her chair.
Not even a few minutes into her break, Pearce called: “Is it done?”
Eleanor said, “It’s done. I’ll take a photo and send it to you….
Pearce replied, “A photo won’t do, I need the original. Send me your address, and I’ll come to get it.”
Eleanor glanced at Bernard, who was sitting by the window, quietly flipping through a financial magazine, and said, “Mr. Hooper needs to come and get the original.”
Bernard looked at her and said, “Ask him if he dares to come?”
Hearing his voice, Pearce quickly said, “Sorry to bother you, goodbye”
Eleanor stared at the dark screen, puzzled for a few seconds, not quite understanding why Pearce was afraid of Bernard.
While she was still confused, Pearce’s messages came in one after another.
[Bernard is too scary, I won’t go]
[Send me the address, and I’ll send someone to pick it up]
[But I’m worried about the draft being stolen if someone else comes to get it]
Eleanor couldn’t help but chuckle.
Seeing her chatting happily with Pearce, Bernard got a bit jealous.
He walked over, snatched her phone, and made a video call.

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...
