A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 704

Eleanor shook her head firmly, "No way."

She was already hitched, so why would she go to a singles party on earth?

Gianna, however, wasn't taking no for an answer, "It's settled. I'll swing by tomorrow to pick you up."

Eleanor helplessly responded, "Ms. Penrod, even if you show up, I'm not going."

Gianna didn't say anything; she just flashed a small smile before standing up to leave.

She looked incredibly graceful and natural.

Watching Gianna's retreating figure, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Gianna wasn't into Bernard; otherwise, she'd be some serious competition.

She took a sip of her water, glancing towards the study. It was quiet in there; she wondered what they were discussing.

Within the well-insulated study, Bernard was lounging on a leather sofa, staring at the equally aloof Evan.

"Evan, what's your game?"

Evan straightened up on the sofa, resting his elbows on his knees as he looked at Bernard.

"One last mission. If you pull this off, my foster father will let you leave the Siren Organization."

Bernard laughed coldly.

"I'm still healing from my back injury. You guys sending me out there? So you want me dead or what?"

Evan didn't respond, just shook his head.

"Mr. Law, you're the only one of our guys who could come out alive from the underworld."

"Even though you're injured. But you're the only one who could pull it off in the Siren Organization. My foster father hopes you can help the Siren Organization again."

Bernard responded nonchalantly.

"Years ago, I already said I'm not getting involved with stuff happening overseas."

"But aren't you the head of the Siren Organization?"

Evan's retort left Bernard in thought.

After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly.

"Evan. Do you know how did I get out of the underworld?"

"No..."

Bernard turned his head to look at the photo on the desk. It was his wedding photo with Eleanor.
