Chapter 444
Caleb led Bernard into the room across the way and scoped out the surroundings.
Realizing that the room occupant was conveniently absent, Caleb breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around, faced Bernard, waved the card in his hand, and smiled confidently.
“Mr. Laurence, my skills aren’t too shabby, huh?”
Bernard patted his shoulder in approval, but then his expression suddenly turned cold.
“Caleb, are you having someone tail me?”
As his hand rested on Caleb’s shoulder, Caleb felt tremendous pressure, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He stiffened up and was incredibly nervous, not daring to meet Bernard’s gaze. He had no choice but to hang his head and admit his wrongdoing.
“Ms. Penrod was worried about your identity being exposed, so I had no choice but to have someone follow you around…”
Bernard coldly replied, “Don’t forget who you’re working for
This chilly reminder was undoubtedly a blow to Caleb’s spirit, making him feel even more sorry for Mr. Laurence.
Caleb looked up and solemnly said, “I’m well aware that you saved my life, and I should naturally listen to you. I was just worried that if your identity is exposed, you’ll be hunted down. So, I listened to Ms. Penrod. Sir, you have to believe that I’ll be loyal to you for my entire life, with no other intentions.”
Knowing what kind of person Caleb is, Bernard didn’t say anything more and just withdrew his hand that was resting on Caleb’s shoulder.
He pondered why Eleanor would suddenly bring so many cops to catch him. Just then, his private phone started to vibrate.
Bernard took out his phone, swiped to unlock it, and saw a message from Eleanor. The storm clouds in his eyes gathered once more.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied to her: [I can’t go there tonight. Let’s meet at 8 tomorrow morning]
He coldly ordered Caleb, “Find out how Pearce learned that Mr. Law forced himself on Eleanor.”
The only people who knew about his interaction with Eleanor as Mr. Law were him and Eleanor. There was no way a third party could know.
Even Caleb and Aidyn, who were often by his side, didn’t know he had met Eleanor alone as Mr. Law.
Moreover, these encounters took place three years ago. Eleanor had known Pearce for less than half a year, so she couldn’t have told him voluntarily.
If Eleanor really wanted to catch him, she would have done so when he returned to the country.
But not only did she not come for him; but she also added him to a blacklist after returning home.
This move clearly showed that she didn’t want to have anything to do with Mr. Law anymore.

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...
