Chapter 92
A vicious glint suddenly appeared in Bernard’s eyes, his cold gaze piercing like a frosty chill, making people shiver all over.
He slightly moved his thin lips, about to ask something more when Sophie walked in from outside, “Bernard, I knew I’d find you here!”
Jason glanced back at Ms. Ratliff, then said to Bernard, “I won’t bother you having dinner with your girlfriend.”
His words were dripping with sarcasm, as Bernard had just mocked him for bringing his girlfriend to the bidding conference.
Although the Laurence Group was the party A in this project, Jason was confident in winning the development rights, so he wasn’t worried about offending Bernard.
After that, Jason turned and went to get some food.
Sophie was about to ask Bernard if he wanted to have dinner together, but she saw him suddenly become indifferent and walked quickly towards the entrance of the restaurant.
His change made Sophie a bit unhappy. She found that ever since she returned to the country, Bernard seemed to be more and more distant from her.
When Jason came back with a plate, he found Eleanor dozing on a single sofa.
She was hugging a pillow with her long eyelashes covering her clear eyes. Jason thought she was sleeping soundly and couldn’t bear to disturb her, but he also worried she might be uncomfortable, so he bent down and picked her up.
At that moment he held her, a lot of images flashed through Jason’s mind, as if he had held her like this
before.
He looked down at her peaceful face and felt Eleanor used to belong to him.
But he couldn’t recall anything about her, the more he thought about it, the worse his headache became.
That pain was like countless bugs gnawing furiously in his mind.
He tried to catch those fragments, but they were devoured bit by bit by the bugs, leaving nothing.
This made him so painful that his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. But he still held the person in his arms tightly, reluctant to let go.
As if letting go would mean losing her, a feeling so painful he could hardly bear it.
Not until a knock on the door came from outside did he come to his senses, somewhat embarrassed, putting Eleanor back on the sofa. He said, “Come in.”
Only after hearing his voice did the vice president push the door in, “Mr. Clowers, the bidding has begun. We should hurry in.”
“Wasn’t it supposed to start at 2 pm?” Asked Jason.
“It was originally scheduled for 2 pm, but the Laurence Group just informed us to start earlier.” Answered the vice president.
Jason frowned. It was absurd that such a large group like the Laurence Group could change the time so casually.
“Let’s hurry up. Someone from the Laurence Group just said that if anyone doesn’t arrive, they will be

eliminated directly.” The vice president was quite worried.
“Only they would dare to do such a thing.” Jason sneered and was about to leave, but he looked back at
Eleanor one more time.

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...
