A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 838

After Hailey left, Will Webb mustered up the courage and forced Bernard to finish a bowl of soup, finally putting an end to that dinner.

Due to the argument between Cedric and Yeager, Eleanor didn't notice Liana until now, only to find her looking pale.

"Liana, what's up with you? Are you sick or something? You look off."

Liana, who was about to see the guests out of the villa, halted and looked at Eleanor, who was scrutinizing her.

"Nah, probably just a bit under the weather."

"No, it's because some weird guy took Liana away a while back."

Once Nina spilled the beans, Eleanor immediately knew who she was talking about and quickly grabbed Liana to give her a once-over.

"Was it Tyler Howell? Did he mess with you or hurt you?"

Liana didn't reply right away but shot Nina an irritated look instead.

"Didn’t we agreed not to tell Eleanor?"

Nina, clutching her grubby plushie, pouted.

"I hate how you grown-ups always have to play hide and seek."

Liana could only helplessly reassure Eleanor, "He did come see me, but it's all good now; don't worry."

Regarding Tyler's harassment, Liana didn't want to talk about it, and neither did Nina, so they glossed over it.

"Are you really okay?"

Liana's face looked as if she’d been through a serious illness.

"If I was really sick, would I be able to prepare all these dishes for you guys?"

Liana planned to handle the Tyler issue herself; thus, she didn't want to involve Eleanor and possibly trouble Mr. Laurence.

Liana never caused Bernard any trouble and always sorted out her own problems. It was her principle.

Her feud with Tyler wasn't something that could be solved by Mr. Laurence stepping in. From misunderstanding to conflict, they were destined to be tangled with each other forever.

Liana also admitted that she was at fault for falling in love with the boy who saved her from the swimming pool when she was young.

Eleanor didn't buy Liana's words, so she squatted down and asked Nina.

"Nina, tell me, what happened to Liana while I was away?"

Nina, who knew little, shrugged helplessly.
