Chapter 880
Bemard closed his eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation. “Get out.”
Blake sat there, staring blankly at Bemard. “If you don’t agree to a divorce, then I can’t help you hide the fact that you have half of the Pine family’s blood”
Beck had agreed to keep this secret because he gave her 10% of the shares. Now that Bernard has taken back the shares, she definitely won’t let it go if she finds out that Bernard isn’t getting a divorce or dealing with Eleanor, she’ll spill the beans Then what would Bernard’s position be in the Laurence family?
Blake was determined to prevent Bernard from following in his father’s footsteps. He was open to Cedric’s advice, willing to temporarily set aside the longstanding grudges between the Pine and Laurence families. However, ethical concerns couldn’t be ignored. If this secret were to be revealed, it would undoubtedly bring ndicule upon them
Furthermore, Blake was convinced that if these two individuals were to have a child, the child’s health would be compromised. Their union was simply not feasible.
Yet, Bernard boldly asserted that even if she were his sister, he wanted to be with her. This madness surpassed even that of his father’s actions
As Blake sat there, awaiting Bernard’s response, he was met with silence. It seemed that Bernard disregarded these concerns entirely.
With a sigh, Blake rose from his seat. Upon reaching the door, he paused and glanced back at Bernard. “Think about it.”
In the living room, Eleanor and Cedric observed Blake’s somber expression as he departed. They surmised that the conversation had not gone well
Blake looked exhausted. He was swaying as he walked, like he was about to fall. Cedric immediately stood up to help him.
“Grandpa, are you okay?”
Blake raised his hand and waved it off.
Clearly, he didn’t want him to know what the secret was, so Cedric didn’t ask any further
“I’ll take you home”
Blake nodded, and with Cedric’s help, he left Fiord Roundabout.
Seeing them leave, Eleanor, whose arm was bandaged, walked into the study.
Bernard was slumped on the sofa, lifeless.
She hurried over “Honey, what’s wrong?”
Hearing her voice, Bernard slowly opened his eyes and looked at her arm. He touched her arm. “What did Liana say?”
Eleanor told him the truth. “Liana said it’s just a flesh wound. It will be fine with some pintment.”
Bernard seemed relieved. “If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately”
Eleanor nodded. Seeing his pale face, she asked, “Honey, are you okay?”
Looking into her clear eyes, Bernard didn’t know how to respond, so he just held herjoghtly. He held her as if he was afraid he would lose her, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
Whenever he held her like this, it meant he was troubled. This unease came from his conversation with Blake. But she didn’t know what they had discussed.
Eleanor held him tightly, resting her chin on his shoulder. “Dear, if you have any problems, you must tell me. Don’t just tough it out alone.”

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...
