Chapter 409
When Eleanor stepped outside and saw the fleet of fancy cars parked there, she felt a bit lost.
Foreign land, unfamiliar surroundings, strangers everywhere. This loneliness made her want to bolt.
She stood at the entrance, weighed down by her emotions. Just then, a large hand caught hers.
“Eleanor.”
It was Bemard.
Eleanor didn’t dare to look up at him, just held onto his hand.
Following her gaze to their intertwined fingers, Bernard realized he had let go of her hand earlier.
Quickly, he bent down and apologized, “Eleanor, I’m sorry. I should have explained to you first before letting go of your hand to walk with another woman. I messed up, you can blame me.”
Seeing how flustered he was, Eleanor couldn’t help but wonder if she was making a mountain out of a molehill.
She was feeling insecure and her thoughts were chaotic, but she shook her head at him. “It’s okay…
This only made Bernard more panicked.
He was afraid Eleanor would be disappointed in him. He was on pins and needles.
“Eleanor, please don’t get me wrong. She’s my business partner. There’s nothing going on between us.
Seeing his careful demeanor, Eleanor felt a lot calmer.
It was normal for a guy like Bernard to have high–quality women around him.
As long as he didn’t cheat, she didn’t need to fuss over such minor issues.
Having thought it through, Eleanor tightened her grip on his hand and smiled, “I trust you.
Her smile melted Bernard’s tension. Just as he was about to continue explaining, she interrupted, “Bernard, let’s go home.”
This simple sentence “Bernard, let’s go home.” thrilled Bernard to no end. It touched him even more than her earlier show of trust.
He couldn’t help himself and kissed her on the lips right there in front of everyone.
Teresa walked outside just in time to witness this shocking scene,and frozen on the spot.
She couldn’t believe the man in front of her was passionately kissing a woman she looked down upon.
From their postures, it’s clear that the man was more into the woman. She didn’t even raise a hand while he was practically groveling at her waist, begging for h
love
It seemed the rumors about the man being indifferent to women might be false. Maybe he really was in love with this woman.

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...
