A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 611

Eleanor felt a pang in her heart as she lowered her head. What kind of background could she have had as an orphan?

Blake sneered when he saw her silence, "I've done my homework on you. You’re an orphan. Even though you've found your sister, she's just a designer; how could she ever match up to my grandson?"
