A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 136

As she hugged her legs and leaned against the head of the bed, two extremely dazzling car lights shone on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Following that, the sound of car wheels rolling on the ground could be heard from downstairs, and a Koenigsegg pulled up in front of the villa.

The bodyguard holding an umbrella opened the car door for a man who was nearly 6’2” and slowly stepped out of the car.

As he casually untied the tie around his neck, he coldly ordered, "Don't let him in."

The bodyguard replied with a "yes" and escorted the man into the villa before turning around to walk towards the iron gate outside the garden.

Eleanor stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of the bodyguard's gaze, and saw a man outside the iron gate in the distance.

It was too far away and it was raining heavily, so she couldn't see the man's face clearly and didn't pay much attention to it.

She forced herself to stand up and, leaning on the wall, walked downstairs.

Bernard hadn't been home for several days and she hadn't had a chance to leave.

Now that he was finally back, she naturally had to seize the opportunity.

When she arrived downstairs, the man had just taken off his coat and handed it to the servant.

Seeing her coming down the stairs, his gloomy face became even colder.

Eleanor didn't notice and hurriedly walked up to him, saying, "Mr. Laurence..."

She wanted to say something to him, but he didn't even look at her and went straight to the bathroom.

Seeing him ignore her, Eleanor's face didn't look very good either. What was Bernard trying to do?

Keeping her at home and ignoring her, was he just using her to vent his emotions?

Eleanor was about to give up trying to ask him to let her go, but when she saw Bryson who was staying close to her, she held back her unhappiness.

Without Bernard's permission, Bryson, the servants, and the bodyguard would keep an eye on her, making it impossible for her to escape even if she wanted to.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

It took about an hour before the bathroom door finally slowly opened.

Eleanor quickly got up and walked over.

"Mr. Laurence, you said I could leave after a few days of rest, and now I'm feeling all right. Can you let me go?"

The man still didn't respond to her, just glanced coldly at her, then headed for the second floor.

Eleanor hesitated to approach him, but she couldn't stay at his house forever, could she?
