A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 386

Bernard held Eleanor's hand and took her to the top floor of the hotel.

They arrived at a fancy restaurant, which offered a bird's-eye view of the city's nighttime scenery below.

It seemed like Bernard had booked the entire restaurant just for them. The waiters, dressed in tailcoats and bow ties, were there to serve only them.

The energetic manager, dressed in his uniform, handed them an exquisitely crafted menu as they sat down.

Bernard took the menu and placed it in front of Eleanor, asking, "Eleanor, what would you like to eat?"

Eleanor opened the menu and noticed that it was all in French, which left her feeling a bit lost.

Unable to understand the menu and feeling a little embarrassed, she instinctively reached for her short hair near her ear.

Seeing this, Bernard quickly reached out with his long fingers and took the menu from her.

He initially just wanted her to order for herself but didn't expect it would make her so uncomfortable, which made him feel a bit guilty.

He turned to the manager, who was still bent over, and ordered some appetizers and main courses, then looked back at Eleanor.

"Eleanor, for dessert, would you like macarons or egg tarts?" He gave her a choice, hoping she could shift her attention and not feel so embarrassed.

"Egg tarts," Eleanor replied softly.

She enjoyed soft and sweet food, and egg tarts were just to her taste.

Bernard nodded, closed the menu, and signaled for the manager to leave them alone.

The atmosphere of restaurant was unique, with the candlelight casting a warm glow on their faces.

Bernard, wearing a white shirt with a slightly open collar, looked even more mysterious and noble in the dim light.

Holding a wine glass in one hand and sitting on a leather sofa, he gazed deeply at Eleanor, sitting across from him.

Eleanor kept her head down, staring at her fingers without saying a word, possibly feeling tense and overwhelmed by the restaurant's atmosphere.
