A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 379

This action suddenly set off Bernard's simmering anger, who had just managed to control his rage.

He grabbed Eleanor's arm, pulling her back into the car, his eyes locked onto hers.

"Eleanor, I've told you W City isn't safe, did you just brush off my words?"

"I..."

Before Eleanor could finish, Bernard cut her off: "I get it, you don't wanna hang out at my villa. But have you thought about who you know in W City, or where you can go?"

His voice was tinged with a hint of desperation in his anger: "Why won't you let me help you when you're in trouble like this? Do you hate me that much?"

Despite his numerous attempts to get close to her and show his feelings, she remained indifferent. But why was she still resisting him when she needed his help the most?

So just because she didn't love him, she could just ignore his feelings?

Eleanor stared blankly at the suddenly enraged Bernard, taking a moment to react.

"Do you think I was about to leave?"

When she saw Bernard didn't respond, she knew she was right.

She took a deep breath and patiently explained, "It's too stuffy in the car, I just wanted to get some air."

After explaining, she added: "I know W City is dangerous, and I won't wander around. As for not wanting to go to your villa, it's not because I hate you. I just don't want to owe you any favors."

Her words seemed to calm Bernard down a bit.

He let go of her arm, straightened up, and turned his head to put out his cigarette.

After putting the cigarette into the car's ashtray, he looked at Eleanor.

"You'll never owe me anything."
