A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 

They all split from the slums in a ride, parking it in a non–surveilled spot behind the hotel. 

After Bernard and Gianna whipped off their masks and tossed them to Caleb, they booked it out of the car and into the hotel. 

They hit up an elevator with its surveillance already being tampered with, and then darted through a special passageway back to their rooms. 

The second the door was shut, Glanna made a beeline for Bernard. 

“Thanks for stepping up for my brother and squaring things away with HQ, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it on my own” 

“Also, with my special status, I’m probably on someone’s radar. Thanks for playing house with me last night and creating an alibi.”

She cleaned herself up, treated the wound on her palm, changed into her own clothes and headed downstairs to the study. 

She opened the last row of bookshelves and took out a pile of stuff to put on the glass table in the living room. 

She sat on the couch, waiting quietly for Bernard’s arrival… 

Not much later, a car pulled up in front of the mansion. 

A tall man got out of the car and walked towards the mansion. 

Seeing Eleanor in the living room, he immediately felt at ease. 

Despite being sleep–deprived for four days, he couldn’t help but smile. 

He adjusted his mindset and walked towards Eleanor with a smile.
