A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

Eleanor sat on the bench for a long time, wiping away her tears before replying to Pearce’s message. She noticed a few missed calls from a number in W City last 

night. 

Her phone died due to low battery 

She ignored those missed calls, put her phone back in her pocket, and hailed a cab to head back to the villa 

She chose to enter through the back garden, not disturbing anyone. She quietly went up to her room on the second floor 

The maid who received Bernard’s call promptly and respectfully answered, “Sir, Ms. Shultz is still sleeping” 

Bemard, unable to contatct Eleanor, frowned, “She usually gets up by now. Why is she still asleep?” 

The maid, startled by his reminder, said, “Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll go check on hur 

Without hanging up the phone the maid walked to the master bedroom, gently pushed the door open, and tiptoed in. 

Seeing Eleanor sleeping soundly, the maid breathed a sigh of relief. 

She left the room, picked up the phone again, and told Bernard, “Sir, Ms. Shultz is indeed asleep.” 

Bernard finally felt at ease, instructing the maid, “Prepare a nutritious breakfast for her. When she wakes up, encourage her to eat well” Having given his instructions, Bernard, seemingly busy, quickly hung up and tossed the phone to Gianna, who was next to him. 

Gianna glanced at the masked Bernard, clearly annoyed. 

“You called your wife just before the mission started and again right after. And not only did you call, but you used my phone. Can’t you carry your own phone?” 

Bernard ignored Glanna, feeling uneasy and agitated. 

“How much longer will this mission take?” 

Gianna turned her face towards Bernard, scoffing. 

“Mr. Laurence, you have the audacity to ask when it’ll be over? If you hadn’t been distracted last night, how could we have lost two important targets?” 

Bernard didn’t react, with his mind filled with Eleanor. 

He was supposed to be home after completing the space agency mission yesterday, but the organization had other plans. 

He didn’t want to get involved, but Gianna blocked his car at the restaurant. Hearing that thousands of lives were at stake, he agreed to take her brother’s place under Gianna’s persuasion. 

Before the mission began, he borrowed Gianna’s phone to call Eleanor. 

He wanted to give her a heads up, but no one answered the phone. 

Fearing something had happened, he immediately called home. The maid told him Eleanor was asleep. 

Not wanting to disturb her, he didn’t ask the maid to wake her up. But not hearing her voice made him uneasy all night. 

That unease led to him being distracted during the mission, letting the two targets escape. This was something he’d never experienced before. 

Before escaping, the two had exposed Gianna’s identity. If not dealt with immediately, the secret of the ‘Siren Organization‘ would be exposed…. 

Thinking of this, Bernard looked at Caleb, who was setting the tracking route, ‘Have you found them?” 

Caleb typed on the keyboard for a moment and respectfully replied, “Sir, they’re in the slums.”
