A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 82

Before leaving, he glanced coldly at Eleanor.

"Jason breaking off the engagement doesn't mean the Clowers family is doing so. He'll eventually become part of the Laurence family, so don't bother trying to persuade him to fight the whole Clowers family for you." With that, Bernard turned and headed to the men's bathroom.

Watching his arrogant retreating figure, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief.

Whenever she faced Bernard, she always felt an indescribable sense of tension.

She didn't know if she was afraid of him or afraid of showing him how much she liked him uncontrollably.

Luckily, she had just denied her feelings for him against her true desire.

Otherwise, if her true thoughts were discovered by Bernard, who knew how he'd mock and misunderstand her.

Eleanor gathered her composure, pretended to wash her hands at the sink, and then left the bathroom.

On the way to find Eleanor, Jason was constantly bothered by Brenda, which gave him a headache.

When he saw Eleanor coming out of the bathroom with wet hands, he quickly pushed Brenda aside and walked over.

Jason said to Eleanor, "Ms. Shultz, let's go back."

Eleanor nodded, her indifferent gaze glanced at Brenda as if pondering something.

Brenda recalled impulsively slapping Eleanor earlier and feared she would tell Jason. Thus, her showed a warning expression.

Eleanor found it somewhat amusing: After slapping her, Brenda was afraid she'd spill the beans? Does Brenda think this is high school and she is the most popular cheerleader or something?

While she wanted to retaliate with a slap of her own, this was the Mallory family's territory.

If she took action in front of everyone, those uninformed would think she was bullying others.

Eleanor didn't want to become the center of attention, nor did she want to be resented by the Mallory family members for getting physical.

With that in mind, Eleanor held back and thought she'd seek revenge on Brenda later, "Let's go."

As she stepped down from the stairs, Jason hurriedly reached out to help her.

Originally, Jason planned to hold her hand just for the stairs and then let go. However, when he lowered his head, he accidentally noticed the slap mark on her face.

"What happened?" Jason's gentle face suddenly became serious.
