A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1006

After Eleanor and Sigrid had a chit-chat about Robin's sexual orientation, they parted ways and headed home.

Once back at Latonia's place, Sigrid spilled the beans about everything.

In gratitude, Latonia made a special trip to the Fiord Roundabout with a little something for Eleanor.

Feeling a bit awkward to reject the gift, Eleanor accepted it, and then returned the favor by sending a gift to Latonia's family.

Through this exchange, the relationship between Eleanor and Cedric’s parents got closer.

However, Bernard seemed a bit off, not uttering a word while sitting on the study room couch after getting home.

Seeing him not fiddling with his phone or reading a book, just staring at her, Eleanor slowly put down the ruler in her hand.

"What's up, babe?" she asked, after he had been sitting for nearly ten minutes.

Bernard felt unsettled. He stretched his long legs and put one foot on the other knee.

“What do you think?” he asked.

Bernard, sitting on the sofa in his suit with his legs crossed, looked quite imposing.

Eleanor, resting her cheek on one hand, admired her husband, "I think, you are mad about what happened today."

Bernard shot her a cold glance, "What happened today? What are you talking about?"

Seeing him playing dumb, Eleanor laughed, "Well, if you don't know, let's just pretend nothing happened."

Bernard's handsome face darkened with annoyance. After a while, he couldn't resist the urge to confront Eleanor, so he stood up and walked over to her.

His long fingers landed on the architectural blueprint, and his tall figure leaned towards her. "Babe, are you trying to piss me off on purpose?" he asked.

Eleanor, still resting her chin on her hand, looked up at him and tilted her head in response. "Didn't you say you don't know what happened? How can it piss you off?" she retorted, using her wit to challenge him.

Unable to come up with a good counterargument, Bernard decided to walk around the desk and lift her up in one swift motion. "Looks like I need to teach you a lesson in the bathroom," he said assertively.

Knowing she couldn't break free from his grip, Eleanor let him carry her. "Going to the bathroom? Who's going to be taught? We have yet to see," she teased.

Bernard reached the door, wearing a smirk on his face. "Are you saying you're going to teach me?" he inquired playfully.

Putting on a proud expression, Eleanor lifted her chin and replied, "Depends on my mood."
