A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695 

His words snapped Eleanor out of her stupor 

She lifted her chin to look at the tall upright man before her 

She opened her mouth as if to say something But in the end, she said nothing and just nodded at him 

Bernard helped her into the car and sat down beside her, then buckled her seat belt 

Eleanor watched as the man buckled her seat belt, clutching the business cand in her hand lightly, then suddenly let go 

Bernard” 

“What’s up?” 

Bernard’s voice was pleasant, deep, and magnetic 

“Evelyn knows who my mother is But she’s using Nina as a bargaining chip.” 

“She also said.” 

Seeing her pause, Bemard took the initiative to speak 

“She wants you to keep your distance from me, right?” 

Eleanor was taken aback by his accurate guess. She hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to tell him the truth. 

“She said that as long as I know who my mother is, I won’t marry you” 

Trom her words. I can sense that there might be some conflict between my mother and you” 

Bernard was already wary of someone stirring up trouble before their wedding but expected it to happen. 

He momentanly stared at Eleanor’s face, then tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear 

“What do you think?” 

Eleanor clutched the business card in her hand and shook her head. 

Seeing her silence, he assumed she was hesitating. He felt a bit imitated. 

He sat quietly, then suddenly reached up to loosen his tie 

Without the constraint of the tie, he could breathe a little easier. But he was still irritated 

He reached into his pocket but found no cigarettes. Although he quit smoking long ago, he suddenly craved one 

Unable to find a cigarette, he rolled down the car window and let the cold wind blow in fiercely 

He let the cold wind sober him up. Then he looked at the woman who was deep in thought

As he said her name, his face was expressionless, but his fingers on his lap were tightly clenched. 

7 have many enemies, so many that I can’t even remember them all” 

“But judging by your mother’s age, these conflicts should have been with the previous generation of the Laurence family”

Surprisingly, Bernard’s eyes welled up with tears as he spoke 

“If you don’t want to marry me because of this, then ” 

He knew Eleanor didn’t have much trust in him. But he loved her deeply and wanted to marry her 

He did not know how to make her trust him completely. He could only look at her silently, hoping she would understand him 

If he couldn’t marry her, he would be heartbroken. His life without her would be miserable. Considering how much he loved her, he truly hoped she wouldn’t abandon him. 

Eleanor had been pondering the meaning of Evelyn’s words, so she didn’t notice the change in Bernard’s emotions.
