A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 834

Though Will was polite to Yeager, he didn't act all humble around Bernard. He totally respected Bernard as his own boss.

"No need."

Bernard added, trying to save Will from any embarrassment.

"I've got a poor stomach, can't eat much."

"Oh, I see."

Will was concerned. Hearing about Bernard's stomach condition, he promptly stood up.

"Let me get you some stomach-warming soup."

Bernard wanted to stop him, but Will was already off to the kitchen.

Eleanor, returning to her seat and catching this, asked Bernard with a chuckle, "Liana's husband, not too shabby, huh?"

Liana and Will weren't officially married yet, but Eleanor was oblivious and assumed they were.

Bernard, having some knowledge about Will, knew he was a decent doctor and nodded.

"He's alright."

"What about Dr. Yeager?"

Eleanor rarely saw Bernard giving praise, so she couldn't help but ask.

Bernard glanced at Yeager, who was passed out on the dining table. Instead of answering, he retorted,

"What do you think?"

His question pretty much gave away his opinion. Hailey felt a tad awkward hearing this and glanced at Bernard.

"Sorry for the embarrassment."

Bernard knew Hailey had heard him and shook his head.

"It's Cedric who's causing you the embarrassment. I'll teach him a lesson when we get home."

Bernard had Aidyn force Yeager to down a few drinks as punishment, but it didn't mean he would tolerate Cedric's behavior.

Hailey was surprised to see Bernard, who seemed indifferent, was actually quite clear-cut in his actions, not leaning towards any side, which she found quite admirable.

Eleanor certainly married the right man. A calm, decisive, emotionally stable husband like Bernard was worth relying on for a lifetime.

Hailey thanked Bernard and then went to support Yeager.

"Let me take you home."

Yeager, not a good drinker, was already wobbly after a few drinks.

"Hailey, I'm the man, I should take you home."

Hailey, steadying Yeager, tried to reason with him.

"You're drunk, how can you take me home? Just listen to me, I'll take you home."
