A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 786

Eleanor walked into the kitchen with a smile, opened the fridge and was about to scrounge for some grub when she suddenly heard the sound of a shutter click behind her.

"Darn it, I forgot to mute it..."

Elbert Pine was hiding behind the door, decked out in a chef's outfit, holding his phone towards her.

Eleanor was taken aback to see him sneaking onto the ship just to snap a pic of her. She gave him a once-over and said, "Mr. Pine, are you out of your mind?"

Caught red-handed, Elbert didn't bother pretending anymore. He yanked off his chef's hat and mask, and slumped down onto a chair.

"Truth be told, you look familiar, so I wanted to snap a pic of your face and send it to my dad to see if you're a relative of mine."

He'd been tailing her for days, yet could never get a good front-facing shot. It was so frustrating!

A guy named Aidyn Reyes came on board today, and Elbert seized the opportunity to sneak onto the ship.

He finally managed to catch her in the kitchen, but in his excitement and haste, he forgot to mute his phone.

As if that blunder wasn't enough, he ended up being bossed around by the head chef to chop onions all day...

He'd never cooked before, let alone chopped veggies.

He didn't even know the basic fact that onions could make your eyes sting, so he ended up chopping and crying, wiping his tears with his hands...

His eyes had been soaking in water for an hour to relieve the sting, but they were still swollen and stinging like crazy!

Recalling his ordeal, Elbert suddenly felt incredibly wronged.

"Eleanor, considering the hell I've been through, can I take a picture of you?"
