Chapter 85
Cedric looked at the indifferent Bernard through the rearview mirror
After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage to ask, “When are you planning to marry Sophie?”
He always felt that once Bernard and Sophie got married, everything would settle down, and there would be no more need to live
in fear.
Bernard seemed to smile, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes. “Do you want me to marry her too?”
Cedric shook his head subconsciously, “No, but…”
But there was no other choice, right?
Just when Cedric hesitated about what to say, Bernard casually said. “I will marry her.”
His voice was hollow, as if devoid of any emotion, like a machine, just cold and indifferent.
Cedric sighed deeply in his heart. It seemed that Bernard had never truly felt happiness.
Jason sent Eleanor home.
Before getting out of the car, Jason handed her a tube of ointment. This can help with the swelling.”
Eleanor thanked him but still refused, “I can use ice.”
After that, she turned and left. Jason looked at her petite figure and fell into sorrow again.
He could feel Eleanor’s wariness towards him, even with a hint of hostility, which confused him.
As he frowned in thought, Colter reminded him, “Mr. Clowers, Ms. Shultz is using you. Don’t fall for it.”
Jason hadn’t been in a relationship since losing his memory, so he didn’t quite understand women’s thoughts. Hearing Colter’s words, he instinctively retorted, “She doesn’t even like me. How could she be playing any tricks?”
But Colter said, “She’s pretending not to like you to get your attention and make you worry. Once you’re affected by her, she wins. And…”
He paused, then continued, “Didn’t you notice her little scheme just how? If Ms. Shultz were a generous person, she wouldn’t even let you notice her getting hit. But she deliberately showed you and made you punish Ms. Mallory. That way, she could use you to get back at Ms. Brenda and affect your impression of her. I guess she knows Mr. Mallory wants you to marry Ms. Brenda, so she’s trying to sabotage it on purpose.”
Under normal circumstances, Jason would surely believe Colter’s words. But now he felt that even if Eleanor used some tricks and let him discover her being hit, it was justified. No one would get hit for no reason and not fight back, especially since she didn’t deliberately let him see it; it was just that Brenda’s force left marks on her face.
If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t even know she had been hit in the bathroom…
Just as he was about to say something, Jason cut him off, “Just drive and stop gossiping about others.”
Colter: His boss actually accused him of gossiping about others!

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...
