Chapter 632
Bernard tumed to gaze at her uniquely beautiful face hesitated for a few seconds then let it out.
“You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder lately”
After saying this, he felt a wave of panic. He was terified that she would take this opportunity to break up with him. But if he didn’t say anything he couldn’t bear the pain of feeling both close yet distant with her
Eleanor raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Ive been cold to you?”
Unaware that shed been neglecting Bernard due to her work, Eleanor looked incredulous When had she been cold to him? She was so busy yet she still found time to meet him, wasn’t that enthusiastic mought
Bernard didn’t expect her to react like this and asked with some concern, “You still want to marry me, right?”
Eleanor’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, “If I don’t marry you, then who do I marry?”
She thought Bernard was being ridiculous, forcefully pulled away from his embrace, turned to face him, “What’s gotten into you tonight?”
Bernard, having realized what was going on, stared at her face his lips slowly turned up, revealing a faint smile it turned out, Eleanor hadn’t been cold to him because she didn’t want to marry him, but because the was oblivious to how she’d been neglecting him
Bernard shifted his gaze from her face to the design drawings on the table, “Have you been busy with these lately?”
Eleanor followed his gaze to the designs on the table and nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been working on these designs every day, why?”
Bernard finally understood Eleanor had been too busy to pay him attention. Bernard, who’d been overthinking things lately, felt a weight lifted off his heart once he knew the reason. His mood, once in the dumps was back on cloud nine, and his downturned lips deepened into a smile.
Seeing him keep quiet while smiling at her freaked Eleanor out a bit. Just as she was about to ask him again, she was suddenly lifted off her feet. Eleanor, now in Bernard’s arms, looked at him with wide eyes. puzzled. “Huh? What are you doing?”
Bernard holding Eleanor in a princess carry, headed towards the door, “Eleanor, where do you want to do it?”
Eleanor, face flushed, grabbed his collar and retorted, “I asked what are you doing, not where”
Bernard, still holding her lowered his long, thick lashes, and locked at her with a teasing expression, “Same difference”
How was it the same?!
Eleanor struggled to get down, but Bernard just walked out of the villa with her, seemingly planning to take her back to the mansion if they were going back to the mansion, Bernard wouldn’t let her go so easily She was still busy with her designs Thinking about this, Eleanor quickly buried her head in his chest and whispered like a little kitten, ‘Let’s go to the room in the next door villa
The renovation work there was already completed. The renovators finished the job quickly and any formaldehyde had been removed by professionals. She had already purchased all the furniture and household items, and could in fact move in now. But she was so used to living in Hailey’s villa, she hadn’t had a chance to move yet
Bernard knew all along that she had bought a new willa When he heard they were going to her new place, he couldn’t help but smile, “Does your room have a bathroom?”
Eleanor’s face immediately turned red. She snuggled closer to his chest, lowered her head, and nodded softly. “Yes…”

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...
