A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 94

"Speak." Bernard lowered his head, getting even closer to her, his thin lips almost touching her cheek.

She instinctively wanted to avoid him, but he held the back of her head, not letting her move.

"I'm only giving you one chance to explain!" His magnetic voice, mixed with suppressed anger, made Eleanor feel stuck in a hard place.

Bernard was in front, Jason was behind; she was sandwiched in the middle, extremely distressed.

"I don't have anything to explain. Whether I know Mr. Clowers or not, it has nothing to do with you." She hesitated for a long time, and finally replied when Bernard was about to lose his patience.

"Nothing to do with me..." Bernard coldly repeated her words, then moved closer to her face once again.

Her eyes widened in panic as that delicate face of his pressed down in that moment.

His thin lips drew closer to her red lips as if he was about to kiss her any second.

Eleanor wasn't sure what he wanted to do, feeling a mix of fear and uneasiness.

As she nervously held her breath, Bernard suddenly spoke coldly, "You lied to me because he's Garett, right? You didn't want me to know about your past, so you lied. Am I right?"

His words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Eleanor's heart.

Had he really guessed so quickly that Jason was Garett?

Sure enough, one shouldn't lie to Bernard. He was way smarter and more capable than most people.

Her silence confirmed Bernard's suspicions. He had initially only been testing her, but he didn't expect Jason to be the long-lost Garett she could never forget!

All he knew about the Clowers Group's secret was that the missing son of the Clowers family was found five years ago!

Eleanor sold herself five years ago, and Jason was found then too. The timing was too perfect, and they had known each other for years.

There was only one possibility – Jason was the Garett Eleanor had been pining for, even in her dreams!
