Chapter 94
“Speak.” Bernard lowered his head, getting even closer to her, his thin lips almost touching her cheek.
She instinctively wanted to avoid him, but he held the back of her head, not letting her move.
“I’m only giving you one chance to explain!” His magnetic voice, mixed with suppressed anger, made Eleanor feel stuck in a hard place.
Bernard was in front, Jason was behind; she was sandwiched in the middle, extremely distressed.
“I don’t have anything to explain. Whether I know Mr. Clowers or not, it has nothing to do with you.” She hesitated for a long time, and finally replied when Bernard was about to lose his patience.
“Nothing to do with me…” Bernard coldly repeated her words, then moved closer to her face once again.
Her eyes widened in panic as that delicate face of his pressed down in that moment.
His thin lips drew closer to her red lips as if he was about to kiss her any second.
Eleanor wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, feeling a mix of fear and uneasiness.
As she nervously held her breath, Bernard suddenly spoke coldly, “You lied to me because he’s Garett, right? You didn’t want me to know about your past, so you lied. Am I right?”
His words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Eleanor’s heart.
Had he really guessed so quickly that Jason was Garett?
Sure enough, one shouldn’t lie to Bernard. He was way smarter and more capable than most people.
Her silence confirmed Bernard’s suspicions. He had initially only been testing her, but he didn’t expect Jason to be the long–lost Garett she could never forget!
All he knew about the Clowers Group’s secret was that the missing son of the Clowers family was found five
years ago!
Eleanor sold herself five years ago, and Jason was found then too. The timing was too perfect, and they had known each other for years.
There was only one possibility – Jason was the Garett Eleanor had been pining for, even in her dreams!
He had thought she had slept with Jason in just one day because she wanted to marry a rich man, but it turned out that he was the one she loved.
No wonder they ended up together so naturally; they were long–lost lovers reuniting, which would naturally lead to a quick reconciliation!
Upon realizing this, Bernard’s tall body gradually became stiff…
“Eleanor, did I take your virginity?”
He rarely called her by her name, and it often meant that something was very serious.
Eleanor didn’t dare to lie to him anymore and hastily nodded, “Yes.”
But Bernard didn’t believe her, “I can’t tell if you are telling the truth or not.”
Eleanor was stunned, realizing that it was because she had lied to him in the past that he no longer trusted
her.
“I… that time, you saw the bed sheet…” Eleanor struggled to explain.
There were bloodstains on it.

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...
