A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 409

When Eleanor stepped outside and saw the fleet of fancy cars parked there, she felt a bit lost.

Foreign land, unfamiliar surroundings, strangers everywhere. This loneliness made her want to bolt.

She stood at the entrance, weighed down by her emotions. Just then, a large hand caught hers.

"Eleanor."

It was Bernard.

Eleanor didn't dare to look up at him, just held onto his hand.

Following her gaze to their intertwined fingers, Bernard realized he had let go of her hand earlier.

Quickly, he bent down and apologized, "Eleanor, I'm sorry. I should have explained to you first before letting go of your hand to walk with another woman. I messed up, you can blame me."

Seeing how flustered he was, Eleanor couldn't help but wonder if she was making a mountain out of a molehill.

She was feeling insecure and her thoughts were chaotic, but she shook her head at him, "It's okay..."

This only made Bernard more panicked.

He was afraid Eleanor would be disappointed in him. He was on pins and needles.

"Eleanor, please don't get me wrong. She's my business partner. There's nothing going on between us."

Seeing his careful demeanor, Eleanor felt a lot calmer.

It was normal for a guy like Bernard to have high-quality women around him.
