A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 16

Cedric, who had finally snapped out of his shock, quickly called out to him, but he didn’t even turn his head.

Josef watched Bernard’s retreating figure, asking meaningfully, “What’s up with your cousin?”

Cedric laughed, “He’s the only heir to the Laurence Group, so he’s under a lot of pressure, and he has some weird temperaments from time to time. Please don’t mind him.”

After a brief explanation, Cedric lifted his wine glass and apologized on his cousin’s behalf, saying, “I’ll drink one for him as punishment.”

Draining it in one gulp, Cedric put down the glass and gently said, “You guys go ahead, I’ll go check on him.”

He was very polite, and his words were courteous. Josef couldn’t find a reason not to let him go, “Let’s meet up again next time.”

Cedric nodded, put on his shirt and grabbed his coat, then hurried away.

Norene wanted to play another round, but seeing Cedric leaving, she had no choice but to throw her cards away and follow him quickly.

With the departure of these people, the private room became much emptier. Josef rubbed his brow in frustration.

Originally, he had wanted to let Bernard have fun first, and then talk about the project. But before he could bring it up, Bernard had left. How unlucky.

Josef was not in the mood for fun anymore either. He waved his hand and sent everyone else packing.

When everyone had left, he turned to look at Eleanor, his eyes full of confusion, “Do you know Bernard?”
