A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Bernard Laurence heard her soft voice, and his face became serious

When Eleanor Shultz saw his face change, she suddenly didn’t dare to speak anymore.

She sniffed carefully and smelled a faint scent of alcohol in the car besides the light fragrance. It wasn’t too strong, but it was obvious that he had been drinking.

No wonder he came to her voluntarily, so he was drunk.

Eleanor sighed, drinking and driving, isn’t he afraid of getting caught?

As she was lost in her thoughts, Bernard suddenly squeezed the cigarette in his hand, raising his eyes to her.

Eleanor stared into his eyes, trying to find something else, but there was nothing.

Bernard fixed his gaze on her face and said coldly, “Answer me.”

Being misunderstood over and over again, she was so tired, too tired even to speak. Eleanor kept silent, and Bernard’s brows furrowed tighter.

Eleanor swallowed her words to explain and changed her tone, “Since you think it’s true, why bother asking me?”

Bernard’s hand gripping her chin tightened, “Did you sleep with him or not?”

Eleanor cast her gaze downward and replied softly. “Yes”

Instantly, Bernard’s expression stiffened, and his eyes turned cold, devoid of warmth or empathy.

“Why?” he interrogated.
