A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1249

Cedric stood watching and snorted derisively.

"When did I become your bro? Stop calling me that!"

He was literally his brother.

Eleanor silently responded in her heart, then got up and walked to Elbert.

"Mr. Pine, you've embarrassed me twice through games. It's not only awkward, but also very disrespectful. Please stop calling me 'sister'."

What she meant was that a younger brother shouldn't treat his elder sister like this. But Elbert never considered whether his actions were respectful to others.

He just wanted to play a prank on Bernard and didn't realize it would embarrass Eleanor. Now he gets it, but it's too late.

"I didn't know who was going to get the Joker. Even if it was me, I would've suggested a peck on the cheek. I just wanted to mess with him."

But he didn't expect that Eleanor would be the one to draw it. Due to the game's atmosphere and remembering the last bet he lost, he impulsively overlooked that Eleanor was already married to Bernard.

He was indeed being mischievous, but he certainly didn't mean to disrespect Eleanor. But who cares what he really thought? His words already showed disrespect.

Elbert didn't want to say any more. He leaned his face in, "Just hit me, and let me go home when you're done."

Bernard looked at his swollen face, slapped him hard again, and slowly withdrew his hand. "If there's a next time, I'll break your legs."

Elbert took the beating obediently and looked up at Bernard. He didn't know why, but Bernard's tone was very similar to when Robin disciplined him.

And why did he feel...Bernard's eyes looked a bit like his aunt’s? Though his memory was blurry, this feeling seemed familiar.

As he was staring at Bernard, Bernard coldly said while taking off his gloves, "Throw him into the sea."

Bernard's cold and indifferent tone instantly cut off Elbert's thoughts, "Bernard, why didn't you keep your promise?!"

Bernard put down his gloves, took out a wet wipe to clean his fingers, then looked up at him.

"Have you forgotten? I make the rules for the bets."

In other words, he can do whatever he wants. Elbert was so angry his face turned red.

"Bernard, you're ruthless!"

Bernard threw away the wet wipe, held Eleanor's hand, and left the top deck.

Eleanor nervously watched as Elbert was carried onto the deck by several bodyguards.
