A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 

She just saw Bernard gently and lovingly helping Eleanor with her helmet, and Teresa couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy 

Even though both Teresa and Eleanor were pretty, and Teresa was even bom into a much wealthier family, with more knowledge and abilities than Eleanor could ever dream of, 

yet, Bernard was all over Eleanor and not her. It was mind–boggling. 

Seeing Teresa’s confident look, Eleanor said, “Why don’t you ask him?” 

She didn’t know why Bernard fell head over heels for her, so she couldn’t answer Teresa’s question. 

But to Teresa, this sounded like a provocation. Her face fell, “Ms. Shultz, where’s your superiority complex coming from?” 

Eleanor frowned, confused, “Dr. Teresa, you asked, I answered. What does that have to do with feeling superior? 

Teresa scoffed, “You’re only acting high and mighty because you have Bernard backing you up.” 

Eleanor felt like she was talking to a brick wall and decided not to respond anymore 

Seeing Eleanor silent, Teresa assumed she had conceded. A smirk crept onto her face 

But she kept her superior attitude, asking Eleanor, “Ms. Shultz, has he proposed to you yet?” 

Hearing that, Eleanor instinctively looked down and stared at her black boots, not uttering a word. 

Seeing Eleanor’s reaction, Teresa got the hint, “Just as I thought, there’s no way he’d propose to you on a whim.” 

Teresa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, leaning back on the bench, crossing her arms and tilting her chin up as if to warn Eleanor. 

“Ms. Shultz, as your former doctor, I should remind you. The fact that he’s treating you special now doesn’t mean he’ll marry you! 

“Guys like him, born with silver spoons in their mouths, they usually marry into other wealthy families. Your status wouldn’t even make the cut in the Laurence family.” 

“So wake up. He’s probably just messing around with you. Once he’s had his fun, hell ditch you” 

“Women over thirty shouldn’t waste their prime years on a man who’ll never marry them.” 

Her harsh words fell on Eleanor’s ears, making the already insecure woman feel even worse. 

She shifted her gaze away from the riding arena, looking at Teresa. 

“Dr. Teresa, I should remind you too. You’ve been crushing on Bernard since college. But he’s never been interested in you. Was it worth it to waste your youth on a 

man who’ll never love you?” 

Teresa’s face froze as she was caught off guard by Eleanor’s rebuttal. Just as she was about to retaliate, Eleanor calmly continued. 

“And you’re wrong about one thing. There are many people like me in this world. And many wealthy families started out just like me. So how do you know I can’t become one of them?”
