Chapter 906
After hanging up the phone, Bernard gazed at the street lights outside the window
Tomorrow, he’d be headed to G country, where Robin would no doubt be laying a web of traps for him.
If he wanted to get out of this mess unscathed, Robin’s beloved baby sister was his best shot
Bernard shifted his gaze back, dialed up Liana and asked her to run a hair test on Eleanor and Cibert tonight.
Liana was planning to chill out, but as soon as Bernard called, she got straight to work.
Will Webb watched as Liana received two samples from the bodyguard, and he turned to enter the testing room, hesitating before finally following her in
As Liana slid into her gloves, she spied Will lingering in the doorway, his stance caught between a longing to enter and a fear of overstepping A pause seeped into her
movement
Since laying out bare truths with him, she’d taken refuge in distance, her words having been a fortress, unyielding and devoid of hopeful whispers.
Now, she saw the toll it had taken his slimmer form, the pallor replacing his once rosy complexion, eyes receding into shadows of steepless nights.
A twinge of guilt echoed in Liana’s heart. Her fierce battle for societal acceptance had wounded the one soul that cherished her unconditionally
No longer able to face Will, Liana lowered her gaze and dived into the sea of her exam
Will didn’t intrude on Liana’s space, choosing instead to stand sentinel outside, silently observing.
His respect for Liana remained unscathed, irrespective of circumstances
For Tyler Howell was yet a wall between them, one that needed to be crumbled before he could reclaim proximity to Liana
Otherwise, his approach would just be seen as unnecessary clinginess by Liana, and then what was the difference between him and Tyler?
After completing the overnight test, Liana sent the results to Bernard By the time she left the hospital, it was already three in the morning
She thought Will had left long ago, but when she got home, pulled the curtains and was ready to go to bed, she saw a car parked across her villa.
She knew exactly what kind of car he drove and what the license plate number was, having been around him for so long
Liana’s hand paused on the curtain, then with determination, she pulled them shut, blocking everything downstairs, including people, behind the blue curtain.
Will saw her get home safely and turn off the lights to sleep before he finally started the car and left.
In a week, the court summons would be served to Tyler.
By then, he would definitely charge Tyler with rape!
Only by sending Tyler to jail, could he spend the rest of his life peacefully with Liana
Bernard looked at the test report, it was already the next morning. Just as he was about to read it, an excited voice came from the side
“I was right, my mother is not from the Pine family“”
Eleanor had just stirred awake, nestled within his embrace, her vision still cloaked in the fog of slumber. Blinking at his phone, the report caught her gaze.
The sight of those figures and conclusions instantly dispelled her drowsiness, her vision sharpened, she seized his phone and dove into the details.
“This report! It will silence anyone trying to drive us apart based on my supposed Pine lineage!”
Eleanor’s joy erupted, brandishing the phone towards Bernard, her animated and endearing manner more carefree than ever.

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...
