A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 639

Eleanor sat on the fence for a while, but still didn't make that call. She always screwed up when she was all in a flap, better wait till she cooled her jets to make a decision.

She pocketed her phone, and was about to return to her study when a tall man walked in from the door. He was dressed in a black coat and a white shirt underneath, the neck of which was carelessly undone, displaying his fair collarbone. His shirt was tightened by a black belt, beneath which were straight, slim legs hidden beneath suit trousers.

The man stood against the light, his face indiscernible, but the cold aura he exuded seemed to drop the room's temperature by a few degrees.

Pearce, who was happily peeling an orange while holding Pippy, suddenly shivered.

"Man, why's it suddenly so chilly?"

Pearce clutched Pippy, hoping to get some warmth from the tiny dog. However, Pippy hopped out of his arms, scampered into the kitchen and vanished into thin air.

Pearce sniggered, "Won't even let me hold you, not worthy of being named after me!"

As he was mocking Pippy, he noticed a shadow cast over him, reflecting on the glass table top and outlining a beautiful figure.

Pearce slowly turned his head, raised his eyes, and saw the towering man that looked like a god.

"Bernard!"

Upon recognizing the figure against the light, Pearce quickly stood up, forced a grin and greeted, "Bernard, what brings you here?"

What's going on? Why is he here?

Bernard lowered his eyes, looking down at Pearce disdainfully. "I think I should be the one asking you that."

"Erm..."

Scratching his head, Pearce seemed to just realize he'd been freeloading at Hailey's for several days.

"Haha, sorry, my bad. I forgot this is your turf. I'll skedaddle right away!"

Pretending to be in a frenzy, Pearce grabbed the fruit plate and made for the door, but he was stopped by an icy voice from behind.
