Chapter 774
When Bernard strolled over with a poker face, Elbert hesitated for a hot second, then instantly turned his bike around, burning rubber towards the mountain road
Sitting behind him, Eleanor nearly got thrown off, only staying on by grabbing onto his clothes for dear life.
“Elbert, you can’t stand losing, can you?” Eleanor’s pissed off voice, accompanied by the roaring wind, buzzed in his ear.
“Who asked you to mess with the race? Elbert, even more ticked off, shot her a glare over his shoulder. “If you weren’t choking me and tickling me, I’d be the champ!”
Eleanor was momentarily stumped, then bit back.
“Who asked you to make me sit at the back?”
Elbert was so pissed off that he turned green and was tongue tied for what felt like ages.
But he had to admit that she wasn’t wrong. He shouldn’t have asked her to sit at the back.
But Bernard winning the race thanks to Eleanor messing it up wasn’t exactly playing fair either.
Elbert wasn’t accepting this outcome, no way
He glanced at Bernard restarting his bike to catch up through his rear view mirror, thinking if he can catch up to me, then I’ll take those two slaps; otherwise, there’s no way I’m admitting defeat!
He gunned it, flooring it down the original route, seemingly determined to have another face–off with Bernard.
Eleanor turned around, looking at Bernard, hot on their trail.
The distance was a bit too far to see his expression, but it was clear he was chasing them like a madman.
He’s probably afraid Elbert II take her away, so he’s giving chase with all he’s got
Eleanor was scared Bernard would get into trouble chasing them like this, so she reached out to pull at Elbert’s collar again.
“Elbert, stop it right now, or I swear I’ll strangle you!”
“Just strangle me then, I’d rather die than stop!”
He’d rather die than lose to his enemy and get slapped twice!
Elbert was truly going all out this time, pushing the pedal to the metal and going full throttle
He figured if he wasn’t disturbed, Bernard couldn’t possibly overtake him.
But boy, did he underestimate Bernard
Bernard, who thought Eleanor had been kidnapped, chased them down like a bat out of hell.
The lightning–fast black bike overtook the white one in a flash, then swiftly swerved and kicked up its tail.
All you could see were the deep tire tracks on the road, and the bike’s front end pointed right at them.
Bernard didn’t even have a helmet on, he just hopped off his bike and walked over to the forced–to–stop white bike.
He glanced at Elbert but went straight to pick up Eleanor from the back seat.
Eleanor was held tightly in his arms, his heart beating so fast it was like it was about to leap out
She couldn’t help but look up at Bernard, seeing his pale face and knowing he was worried about her.

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...
