A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 765

Chapter 765
What a low-down, sneaky, sly move!
He clearly knew the game rules, yet he played dumb to trick her!
Eleanor silently prayed to the go ds: Let him draw a 10 on the fourth card; let him go bust!
After asking the other three players if they wanted more cards, Fiman glared at Bernard and said, “What’s the rush? Wait for the next round.”
Fiman asked the other players one by one and added a third card for them and himself before finally dealing the fourth card to Bernard. Bernard, with one arm around Eleanor’s waist, leaned down and gently kissed her cheek in front of everyone: “Darling, you flip the card.”
Upon seeing this, Fiman got so mad he tossed his cigarette away. “How much money do you want? I’ll give it to you straight. Just take your wife and go home.”
The other three players couldn’t stand it either, banging on the table in protest: “We’ll give you all our chips; just go home; stop bullying people here!”
Bernard, holding his blushing wife, smiled provocatively at them: “You’ll have to put up with it because you guys don’t have wives.”
Fiman: …
Three players:
They understood that this guy didn’t come to play; he came to show off his wife! Fiman clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles.
“Guys, I want to punch him!”
“We’ve been wanting to do that too!”
“That’s why you guys are single; you’re too rude.” Bernard chuckled.
“Can we punch him now?”
“Once we’re done at the table, you can punch him however you want.”
Bernard didn’t take the ‘peaceful’ exchange between the young men seriously.
He thought these men without wives could only vent their frustration with words.
And Eleanor, the object of showoffs, kept her head buried low, holding her face with both hands.
She tried to make herself as invisible as possible, while Bernard leaned over to whisper in her ear:
“Sweetheart, help me-flip the card.”
This man, with his tone frivolous and erratic tone, whispered softly in her ear with just one sentence.
His warm breath and magnetic voice, made her cheeks even redder, like a ripe tomato.
She frowned, glaring at Bernard. Not only Fiman and the other young men wanted to hit him; she herself wanted to punch him too!
“Hmm?”
Seeing her not move, he raised an eyebrow at her again.
The card was right in front of him, but he just wouldn’t flip it himself.
Suppressing her anger, Eleanor gritted her teeth and reached out to flip the fourth card.
Upon seeing the number on the card, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“The fourth card is actually an 8!”
The player sitting to the right of Bernard called out to Fiman when he saw it.
“Hey, hang in there!”
Fiman, with a gold ho ok in his hand, was ready to fight for Bernard’s chips after this round.
Originally, Bernard’s first three cards were A, J, and 2, totaling only 13 points; he would definitely request another card.
But asking for a fourth card was very risky. If he got 7 or below, his chances of winning wouldn’t be high, if he got 9 or above, he would lose the game.
Who would have thought that Bernard’s luck would be so good? The fourth card he asked for turned out to be the only 8 that could bring
his total to 21!
Fiman glanced at his own cards: A, Q, 9, totaling 20 points, less than Bernard’s…
What bad luck! He must tie with Bernard to keep his two billion from being won by Bernard!
But if he wanted to tie with Bernard, he would have to ask for another card. Could he be as lucky as Bernard and get an A?
