A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 15

Eleanor was taken aback by Josef’s lie and suddenly felt confused.

Bernard had a strong aversion to physical intimacy and had made it clear that she was not allowed to engage with anyone in that manner. She wanted to explain something to Bernard, but their relationship had already ended, and she felt that there was no need for an explanation anymore. While she hesitated, Bernard suddenly gestured towards her and said, “Since you’re so pure, go ahead and pour it for her.”

Seeing that Bernard was willing to give Eleanor a chance, Josef quickly handed the bottle back to her and urged her to go.

Eleanor thought Bernard would be angry, but to her surprise, he showed no emotional change and even changed his mind and asked her to pour the drink.

This confused Eleanor, but under Josef’s urging, she reluctantly took the bottle again, bent down, and began to pour the drink for him.

Before she could finish, his slender hand covered the mouth of the glass once again. He raised his indifferent eyes and coldly said to her, “Serve me kneeling.”

Now Josef was completely certain that Bernard was intentionally targeting Eleanor. However, he couldn’t understand why Bernard would do that. Did they know each other?

Hearing those words, Eleanor couldn’t believe it. She was once his lover, that was true, but she was not his servant to be at his beck and

Eleanor straightened up again and said to Bernard, “Mr. Laurence, I don’t know what I did to offend you. If I’m bothering you, then I’ll leave and not disturb you anymore.”

After saying that, she placed the bottle on the table, picked up her bag, and turned to leave. However, Josef grabbed her and said, “Even if Mr. Laurence doesn’t like you, you shouldn’t offend him.”
