A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 294

After blocking and deleting, Cedric chucked his phone across the room.

Bernard, who had just walked in from outside the mansion, spotted the phone on the floor and furrowed his brows.

"You're back?" Cedric asked.

Cedric stood up from the couch, noticing Bernard soaked from head to toe, his face filled with worry, "Why are you all wet?"

Bernard didn't respond, instead he took off his suit jacket and grabbed a towel from a servant.

As he slowly dried his hair, he asked Cedric, "What are you doing in my house?"

Cedric let out a sigh, answering somewhat unenthusiastically, "It's the weekend, I was bored so I came over for a drink."

Bernard shot him a cold glance, "If you're bored, go to Africa and take over Matthew's work."

In reality, he just didn't like the local cuisine in Africa, and the work there was too much. Every time Matthew returned, he seemed to have lost a chunk of hair. Cedric didn't want to go bald.

Bernard didn't have the energy to argue with him, finishing drying his hair and heading straight for the bathroom.

Looking at Bernard's solitary figure, Cedric felt both relief and helplessness.

For years, his brother Bernard had been in a constant state of melancholy, he had never seen him smile. He didn't know when Bernard would finally forget that woman.

His gaze returned to the phone on the floor, just as a call from an unknown number came in.

Cedric snorted, it was probably Hailey, realizing he had deleted her, she couldn't help but call to confront him.

He lazily picked up the phone just as the call was about to end, "Hailey, you..."
