A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1416

Sheldon froze, a puzzled look crossing his face as he stared at the expressionless Bernard.

“What do you mean?”

“He’s your sister Tammie’s kid, didn’t you know?”

Evan’s casual words left Sheldon gobsmacked. “What… aren’t you Donna’s child?”

Sheldon knew about the saga of Tammie and her undying bond with Leonard Laurence.

But it never crossed his mind that Bernard could be their child.

This revelation left Sheldon incredulous, scrutinizing Bernard from head to toe.

Just by looks, you couldn’t tell much, but those eyes…

On closer inspection, they had a distant aloofness about them, quintessentially Tammie.

In Sheldon’s memory, Tammie always had a certain chilliness, as if nothing in the world mattered to her.

The more Sheldon looked, the more he saw the resemblance, and the disbelief in his eyes softened.

“No wonder you called me uncle before.”

He’d thought it was just a slip of the tongue because of Eleanor, and he went along with the uncle bit. Little did he know, Bernard was already privy to their family ties.

Bernard’s cool voice was familiar to Sheldon. But to Robin, it was a thunderbolt from the blue!

“You… are my aunt’s child?!”

Damn! His lifelong nemesis turned out to be his cousin?!

The shock in Robin’s eyes could only be described as a bolt from the blue.

He stared at Bernard with wide, incredulous eyes.

No wonder Bernard had always been one step ahead; it was bloodline supremacy.

Supremacy be damned, but if Bernard was his cousin, then Eleanor was…
