A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 7

It wasn't until Bernard was long gone that Josef realized he was the second son of the Laurence family, so he quickly let go of Eleanor and hurried after him to say hello.

But Bernard just got in his car, slammed the door, and sped off, along with a dozen other fancy cars parked outside.

With no other option, Josef returned to look for Eleanor, only to find her running towards the guest staircase.

Touching his lips that had just kissed Eleanor, excitement filled his eyes as if he had just captured prey.

"Wyatt , find out her address."

Wyatt Caporal following behind him immediately replied "yes."

Eleanor returned home, put down her bag, and blankly sat down on the sofa.

It wasn't until her phone rang that she came back to reality.

She took her phone out of her bag, saw the displayed number, and frowned.

Why would Aidyn call her?

Eleanor hesitated for a moment but answered anyway, "Aidyn, what's up?"

A respectful voice came through the phone, "Ms. Shultz, I found some of your belongings here when I was cleaning the apartment just now. When can you come to take them?"

Eleanor thought Bernard would contact her to explain, but it turned out just to pick up her things. She was suddenly disappointed.

"Just throw them away."

After saying this, Eleanor hung up before the other party could respond.

She then decisively deleted all contact information from Aidyn and Bernard.

Just a day ago, she was still fantasizing that Bernard would contact her, so she didn't have the heart to delete him.

Now that she knew the truth about everything, she had completely given up hope.

She turned off her phone and fell asleep on the sofa.

After a long time, a knocking at the door woke Eleanor up.

Hailey had been working the night shift lately and would come home late, leaving the key with Eleanor.

Hearing the knocking, Eleanor thought Hailey had come home from work and quickly got up to open the door.

It wasn't Hailey, however, but Josef who appeared!

Upon seeing his playful face, Eleanor's complexion instantly drained of color.

She tried to swiftly close the door, but Josef used his hand to push it open.

Startled by his sudden movement, Eleanor took a step back in fear.

"Mr. Caporal, what do you want?"

How on earth did this dreadful man manage to find her home?!

Josef found it amusing to witness her frightened like a startled little bunny.

Leaning against the door with both hands, he tilted his head and remarked, "What are you afraid of? I won't devour you."
