A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 125

"What happened?"

Bernard's expression gradually became gloomy, and there was a hint of chill in his eyes.

"Was it Jason who did this?"

Eleanor immediately shook her head: "No, it was Josef…"

Bernard's eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Tell me."

Eleanor had no choice but to tell him everything that had just happened at the hotel.

The man's frown relaxed slightly when he heard that she was bleeding not because she just slept with Jason.

But when he heard that she was almost insulted by the bodyguard brought by Josef, his brows that had just stretched out frowned again.

Without any hesitation, the man took out his phone and made a call, "Ryan, deal with Josef!"

Ryan Wiseman, who received the call from his boss, immediately responded respectfully: "Yes."

Eleanor looked at Bernard on the phone, somewhat surprised, couldn't believe he would actually help her deal with Josef.

Was it because she had nearly been insulted by someone else, knowing that she had once been his woman, so he helped her, or because he cared about her?

Eleanor thought of Josef mentioning the Laurence Group's Mr. Wiseman and couldn't help but ask, "Is that Ryan... Mr. Wiseman?"

Hearing that, Bernard's expression didn't change much, but there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. He just nodded lightly in response.

Eleanor saw him nod, her face becoming somewhat solemn. Josef said she and Mr. Wiseman had deceived him, suspecting that Mr. Wiseman was Mr. Law.

What does this mean? What is the truth behind it? She wanted to ask Bernard but didn't want to let him know about her relationship with Mr. Law.

She was afraid he would be angry, afraid he would think she was unfaithful, and even more afraid of being insulted by him, so she dared not ask him.

Bernard glanced at the pale-faced Eleanor and gently touched her face: "Hang in there for a while."

His broad palm almost covered her face. His fingers gently touched her cheeks, giving Eleanor an illusion.

The man in front of her seemed to care about her a lot, couldn't bear to see her suffer any harm, just as if he loved her so much.

When Bernard saw her staring at him with wide eyes, disbelief filling her gaze, he suddenly snapped back to reality, letting go of her face, and quickly walked away.
