A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1259

After leaving the Sharp family, Eleanor headed straight for Bernard's car.

As soon as she got in, she threw herself into Bernard's arms, holding him tightly, resting her head on his chest, taking a deep inhale of his scent, and letting her body relax.

"Babe, Peterson's been suspecting me since he last saw me."

Bernard gently held her and moved her to sit on his lap, "Don't worry too much about it."

Bernard's brief reply eased Eleanor's inner fear.

She lifted her chin, and Bernard just so happened to lower his head, and they shared a kiss.

Peterson smirked, while Eleanor was all smiles.

Bernard looked ahead.

The driver caught his gaze in the rear-view mirror and immediately lowered the visor.

Pearce, sitting in the passenger seat, was blocked by the visor and rolled his eyes.

"Bernard! You domineering jerk! You show-off!" He thought.

Bernard held Eleanor, kissed her for a while, then stroked her forehead and softly asked, "What was the main reason Yates looked for you?"

He didn't believe Yates sought her out just for work. There must be another reason.

Taking a breath, Eleanor replied, "He seemed to want to know who I am."

Bernard paused, then said, "You know, Peterson's eyes... they kind of resemble yours."

This surprised Eleanor, who asked, "Are you implying my mom was a child of the Sharp family?"

Bernard's expression slightly changed and he answered, "It's a possibility."

Eleanor was in disbelief and retorted, "The Sharp family's status is similar to yours. If my mom was really one of them, how could they not know? Why would they need me to sniff around?"

Bernard didn't respond, only asking, "Besides wanting to know about your background, did they do anything else?"
