Chapter 838
After Hailey left, Will Webb mustered up the courage and forced Bernard to finish a bowl of soup, finally putting an end to that dinner
Due to the argument between Cedric and Yeager, Eleanor didn’t notice Liana until now, only to find her looking pate
“Liana, what’s up with you? Are you sick or something? You look off
Liana, who was about to see the quests out of the villa, halted and looked at Eleanor, who was scrutinizing her
“Nah, probably just a bit under the weather”
“No, it’s because some weird guy took Liana away a while back”
Once Nina spilled the beans, Eleanor immediately knew who she was talking about and quickly grabbed Liana to give her a once–over
“Was it Tyler Howell? Did he mess with you or hurt you?”
Liana didn’t reply right away but shot Nina an imitated look instead
“Didn’t we agreed not to tell Eleanor
Nina, clutching her grubby plushie, pouted
“I hate how you grown–ups always have to play hide and seek”
Liana could only helplessly reassure Eleanor, “He did come see me, but it’s all good now, don’t worry”
Regarding Tyler’s harassment, Liana didn’t want to talk about it, and neither did Nina, so they glossed over it.
“Are you really okay?”
Liana’s face looked as if she’d been through a serious illness.
“If I was really sick, would I be able to prepare all these dishes for you guys?”
Liana planned to handle the Tyler issue herself, thus, she didn’t want to involve Eleanor and possibly trouble Mr. Laurence.
Liana never caused Bemard any trouble and always sorted out her own problems. It was her principle.
Her feud with Tyler wasn’t something that could be solved by Mr. Laurence stepping in From misunderstanding to conflict, they were destined to be tangled with each other forever
Liana also admitted that she was at fault for falling in love with the boy who saved her from the swimming pool when she was young.
Eleanor didn’t buy Liana’s words, so she squatted down and asked Nina.
“Nina, tell me, what happened to Liana while I was away?”
Nina, who knew little, shrugged helplessly
“All I know is that some guy took Liana away, as for the rest, I’m clueless.”
Liana chuckled and pinched Nina’s nose.
“You little bugger, you’re trying to snoop into my business, are you asking for a spanking?”
“I know about Hailey’s stuff, so of course I should know about yours too. That’s only fair”
Nina, covering her nose, giggled secretly
Liana affectionately ruffled her hair.
“I see nothing gets past your ears!”
“Of course!”
This little banter lightened the mood a bit, but Eleanor was still suspiciously looking at Liana
Her eyes were as clear as spring water, and even Bernard and Liana had a hard time meeting her gaze.
Liana didn’t meet Eleanor’s gaze, but she held her hand and led her out of the villa
“It’s okay, don’t worry about me I’m really fine. You should go

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...
