Chapter 472
This intensely emotional “oh” made Eleanor feel super awkward.
Before she had a chance to correct it, Liana blurted out something even more embarrassing,
“Eleanor, don’t worry. Mr. Laurence is in great health; it won’t affect you guys having a baby.”
Eleanor didn’t respond.
Was she really concerned about the baby issue?
Eleanor looked up and saw Bernard surrounding her, his face stiff. She wanted to retort, but suddenly swallowed her words.
Bernard hung up the phone and handed it back to her, then gently touched her hair before letting her go and sitting up straight.
He didn’t say anything, just silently started the car and drove towards Hailey’s villa.
The flirtatious atmosphere in the car faded, leaving only the man’s desolation, filling the narrow space with sadness.
Eleanor’s side–glance secretly observed him, and just one look made him suddenly let go of the steering wheel and grab her hand.
Their fingers intertwined once again, and t
he tight grip made Eleanor turn her head towards him.
“You…” Eleanor said.
“Eleanor, you’ll definitely have a baby.”
As he said this, he couldn’t face her with courage like before.
Eleanor looked down at his hand, the veins bulging from the force, and sighed softly, following his words, “Yeah, I will.”
Hearing this, Bernard’s tense face relaxed a bit.
“It’ll be ours.” He said.
He turned his head, his eyes revealing a strong and dominant look.
Eleanor belonged to him, and her child could only be his, Bernard’s.
Eleanor didn’t answer him, just turned her head to look at the scenery speeding by outside the window.
Not getting her answer, Bernard held her hand even tighter..
After a while, he finally heard her say, “In my life, I’ve only ever made love with you.”
These words seemed to untie the knot in his heart, making him unable to help but tear up.
She had never told him these things, always deceiving him with sarcasm.
Those “I’ve done it and slept with others” words, how many times had they stabbed into his heart, causing him pain?
Now, hearing her say, “In my life, I’ve only ever made love with you.”
Bernard felt that this was the most beautiful love confession he had ever heard.
He grabbed her hand and gently kissed the back of it.
In his heart, he silently added, “For the rest of our lives, it can only be me.”
The car stopped in front of the villa, and he held her hand the whole time, slowly letting go and getting out of the car.
He opened the passenger door, unbuckled Eleanor’s seatbelt, and held her hand again, helping her out of the car.
Eleanor stood steady in front of the car door and said to him, “Thank you for driving me home. I’m going in now.”
As she walked past him, he grabbed her wrist again, “Eleanor, I have a gift for you.”
Eleanor looked back at him, “I don’t need a gift, I don’t lack anything.”
Bernard smirked, forcibly held her hand, and led her to the other side of the villa.
There was a brand–new luxury car parked there, a Koenigsegg, the same model as Bernard’s car.
The model, body, color, and even the price, needless to say, were one of the top ten luxury cars in the world.
Bernard led her to the car door, slightly lifted his chin, signaling her to open the door.
Eleanor looked up at the tall, handsome man next to her, “The gift you’re talking about isn’t this car, is it?”
Bernard nodded lightly, opened the car door, and said to Eleanor, “Eleanor, give it a try and see if it suits your taste. If not, we can change it.”
Eleanor refused to try the car, “I won’t try it. You can return it.”

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...
