A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 312

Everyone had been all up in Sigrid's marriage, downright scared she'd get hitched to the wrong guy. They had been trying to set her up for years now.

First off, they tried to hook her up with the Clowers family, but Jason wasn't having any of that. Now that Sigrid was done with her education, they would have to try again.

Once the car fired up, a whole fleet of snazzy cars followed close behind.

Not long after, they parked up in Sigrid's neighborhood. Veronica hopped out to fetch her.

Seeing his big sis leave, Cedric quickly asked Bernard, "Why'd you suddenly bail on us and dash into the mall?"

His bolt had everyone on edge, all the bodyguards following him out and chasing after him.

Seeing all the bodyguards around, Cedric felt a tad relieved, but he was clueless as to what shook up Bernard.

Bernard didn't answer, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

He'd spotted a silhouette that looked a lot like Eleanor, and couldn't help but take a second look.

He happened to see Sophie heading into the mall. On impulse, he told the driver to stop the car and bolted after her, only to find it wasn't her.

At that moment, he was breaking out in a cold sweat, relieved but haunted by the past. For the past three years, he'd been haunted by nightmares of the mall, the restroom, and her desperate face as she lay on the ground.
