A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 18

The faint scent from him mingled with the smell of alcohol, quickly stirring her emotions.

Eleanor felt flustered under his piercing gaze as he got closer, so she shuffled towards the car door.

But the space inside the car was tiny, and she soon found herself backed against the door.

Bernard rested his hand on the window, enclosing the petite Eleanor in his arms.

His icy eyes swept over her before settling on the diamond necklace around her neck.

After a while, a scornful chuckle sounded in her ear, "Looks like your new sugar daddy treats you pretty well."

He rarely smiled, and usually had a cold expression.

But this smile was even more terrifying than his frosty face.

Eleanor wanted to explain, but the words "new sugar daddy" left her unable to say anything.

Since Josef introduced her as his girl, there was no point in explaining.

Bernard noticed her silence and lack of defense, his expression quickly shifted.

He raised his long hand and grazed it from her cheek, brushing back towards her ear.

The instant his fingers touched her skin, Eleanor shivered uncontrollably.

Bernard's touch, compared to Josef's, filled her with fear.

His intense aura made it impossible for her to breathe.

After his fingers passed through her hair, Bernard grabbed the back of her head and pulled her towards him.

He lowered his voice and coldly questioned, "When did your affair with him start? How many times?"

His breath rushed in as the distance closed between them.

Eleanor's heart raced uncontrollably, but she couldn't control it.

Cursing herself in her head, she quickly lowered her gaze to avoid his eyes as he tightly gripped her neck.

He stared intently at the love bite on her neck and murmured in a deep voice, "You two just had sex?"

Eleanor turned deathly pale and hurriedly raised her hand to cover the spot Josef had kissed behind her ear, "No, we didn't do anything."

"Do you think I'd believe that?"

His gaze was astonishingly cold, making her tremble.

Frightened, Eleanor still forced herself to explain, "Whether you believe it or not, I haven't done anything with him."

"Really?"

Bernard chuckled lightly, his smile icy and mocking, "A little check will tell."

He suddenly yanked her dress open.
