A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 2

After Bernard left, his personal assistant Aidyn Reyes walked in with some pills.

He handed them to Eleanor and said respectfully, "Ms. Shultz, sorry for the trouble."

These were birth control pills. Bernard didn't love her, so naturally he would not allow her to get pregnant.

Whenever they finished, he would have Aidyn deliver the pills and require Aidyn to watch her swallow them.

Eleanor looked at the white pill and felt her heart ache again.

Whether it was her heart failing or being hurt by Bernard, she found it hard to breathe.

"Ms. Shultz…"

Seeing her unresponsive, Aidyn immediately reminded her, fearing she might refuse to take it.

Eleanor glanced at him, took the pill and swallowed it without even drinking water.

Aidyn's worried expression faded, and he took out a property title and a check from his briefcase, placing them in front of Eleanor.

"Mr. Laurence's compensation for you, aside from the property and luxury car, an extra fifty million. Please accept it."

He's quite generous.

But what she wanted was never money.

Eleanor looked up at Aidyn and smiled, "I don't want any of these."

Aidyn was a little puzzled, "Do you think it's not enough?"

Hearing this, Eleanor felt bitter.

Even Aidyn thought she was after the money, not to mention Bernard.

He gave her such a high severance payment, probably fearing she would pester him for money in the future, right?

Eleanor forced a smile, picked up her purse, took out a bank card and handed it to Aidyn, "This is what he gave me. Please return it to him for me and tell him I never used his money, so I won't accept his severance payment either."

Aidyn was stunned. Had Ms. Shultz never used Mr. Laurence's money in these five years?

Eleanor didn't care whether Aidyn believed her or not, and placed the card on top of the property title.

She turned around and left Rosewood Manor.

Winters in A City were a bit cold.
