A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 57

Eleanor sensed a familiar scent emanating from him through his thin white shirt, causing her to freeze in an instant.

She instinctively glanced up at his collarbone, hoping to see the distinctive blue dragon tattoo, but it was nowhere to be found.

Disappointed, she lowered her gaze, thinking, “I guess it’s really not him.”

However, before she could fully process her emotions, Bernard abruptly grabbed her shoulder and forcefully shoved her aside.

Removing the tissue from her face, Eleanor maintained a stony expression and discarded it into a nearby trash can. She appeared more upset than ever before.

Suppressing the anger surging within her chest, she tightly gripped her phone and seated herself once again.
