Chapter 580
Eleanor clenched her hands together; her words stuck on the tip of her tongue ‘Did Emilia betray Ethan?”
As for that, George wasnt too sure either. 7 was not in G country those years. I have no idea how Emilia and Mr. Ziegler suddenly had a falling out. The only one who knows the real story is Mr. Ziegler himself, but he wouldn’t tell a soul‘
That chapter of his life was a thorn in Ethan’s side, and being as proud as he was, there was no way he’d bare his wounded heart for others to see
Eleanor got the picture and nodded at George
After spilling the beans to Eleanor about his deepest secrets, George suddenly relaxed and said. “Ms Shultz, if the truth he uncovers turns out to be the same as before and it affects him, please, for Emilia’s sake, lend a helping hand to Mr. Ziegler‘
Eleanor didn’t quite get what George meant when he said, “How can I help?”
George’s gaze landed on Bernard, who was standing next to Eleanor and he suddenly closed his mouth.
So he hid the turmoil in his eyes and laughed it off “Never mind, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it
With that. George left them standing in the snow and headed back toward the villa.
Bernard watched George’s retreating figure, his indifferent eyes slowly filling with a deep, unreadable emotion.
The meaning behind Georges words and the answer that Ethan had left unsaid before his suicide gave Bernard food for thought.
Whether Ethan could differentiate between Eleanor and Emilia, Bernard didn’t know. Ethan had not given any answer, or maybe he had, but no one knew about it.
Bernard, umbrella in hand, looked at Eleanor, who was still lost in thoughts about Emilia
A strong sense of possession suddenly filled Bernard’s eyes.
Regardless of Ethan’s answer, whether he could tell the difference or not, Eleanor could only ever belong to him, and no one else had better lay a finger on hert
He chucked his umbrella to Caleb, bent down to scoop up Eleanor, buckled her into the car, and then said, “Eleanor, let’s go home”
Eleanor snapped out of her daze and gave him a sweet smile.
“Okay, let’s go home”
Late into the night, a line of cars followed the Koenigsegg, their wheels churning up the snow and painting a beautiful scene against the silent night.
Perhaps to avoid drawing too much attention to Eleanor, Bernard carried her back to her room. After she fell asleep, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number.
Cedric, who had just managed to convince Hailey to open the door, was interrupted by his ringing phone before he could even step inside,
Just as he was about to pull out his phone, Hailey suddenly slammed the door shut, nearly whacking him in the face
Cedric, clutching his aching nose, looked at the closed door in confusion.
“Hailey, didn’t we agree that I could come in and apologize properly?”
“No need, deal with your flock of girls. I’ll go find Eleanor myself tomorrow, and you don’t need to pick me up.”
Cedric’s heart sank. He wanted to say something, but he saw through the white fence that Hailey had already walked into the living room without looking back.
Then all the lights in the villa were turned off, the curtains were drawn, and everything was pitch black. She didn’t even leave him a silhouette to look at.
Furious, Cedric pulled out his phone, about to unlock it and vent, but saw the name on the screen: Dear, Bernard.
His anger boded over
Mr. Laurence had not only ruined his plans but also called him in the middle of the night, causing Hailey to think it was one of his many female companions calling him. He couldn’t even get

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...
