Chapter 91
Eleanor thought for a moment and figured that if she left the lounge, she might bump into Bernard, so she shook her head.
Jason couldn’t help but give her a helpless look, “I’ll go grab you some food.”
Despite Eleanor’s protest, he got up and left right away.
Jason had a special status, and the Laurence Group treated him accordingly. The restaurant he went to was the same one Bernard was in.
Faced with a dazzling array of food, Jason didn’t know what to pick.
He simply took out his phone and called Eleanor, “What do you like to eat?”
Eleanor said she didn’t want to eat anything, but Jason persuaded her, “You have to eat something. You have to take care of me in the afternoon.”
She had no choice but to say, “Just food that’s easy to digest.”
Jason gently asked, “So I’ll get you some fish, veggies, and yogurt. What about the main course?”
“No need, that’s enough.”
“Alright, wait for me.”
Seeing her so obedient, Jason smiled and hung up the phone. Just as he was about to get the food, a chilly. voice came from behind him, “Jason is pretty busy, attending the bidding meeting while taking care of his girlfriend.”
Jason turned around and saw Bernard standing there.
His tall figure, although similar to Jason’s, had a different sense of oppression, which made Jason feel uncomfortable.
Jason looked at him and said softly, “Mr. Laurence, don’t joke with me. How could I bring my girlfriend to a bidding meeting?”
Bernard raised his eyebrows slightly, “So, if Ms. Shultz isn’t your girlfriend, then what is she?”
Jason didn’t like his arrogant tone but still patiently answered, “There’s nothing between her and me, it’s
just…”
“Just what?” Asked Bernard.
The eagerness in his tone made Jason a bit puzzled, “Why are you so concerned about me and Ms. Shultz?” Bernard’s face was emotionless, with a hint of a smile, “I just want to see how you’d accept a woman who
once was with Josef.”
He even mocked in the end, “Aren’t you afraid of getting some weird diseases?”
Hearing these words, Jason’s face darkened, “It’s very ungentlemanly for you to belittle a woman like this.”
Bernard walked up to Jason and stared at him coldly, “So what do you think is gentlemanly?”
Jason didn’t answer but gave him a scrutinizing look. “You always seem to be targeting me.”
At the bidding meeting, in the restaurant, even at their first meeting, he was always targeting Jason.
He hadn’t seen Bernard before, and even less likely to have offended him. Why would he act like this to him?
Chapter 91
Bernard’s face wavered slightly but soon returned to normal, “I’m just afraid you’d be deceived.”
“Do you mean Ms. Shultz is deceiving me?” Jason asked the doubts in his heart.

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...
