A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 155

Liana carefully placed the coat inside a beautiful paper bag and made her way towards the villa. As she entered the study, the warm glow of the setting sun streamed in through the French window, casting a faint golden light on the man in the room.

The man stood tall and confident, his face hidden from view. Only his hand, with its distinct bone structure, was visible as it held a slim cigarette.

A subtle aroma of smoke surrounded him, adding an aura of nobility and intrigue, yet also hinting at a certain restraint.

Liana’s gaze shifted to the small pile of discarded cigarette butts in the wastebasket, and she furrowed her brow slightly. She recalled that Bernard didn’t smoke, leaving her curious about when he had started. However, she acknowledged that it wasn’t her place to inquire and proceeded to knock on the door.

“Come in,” came the response.

The man didn’t even bother looking back and simply uttered the words with a detached tone, as if nothing could interest him.

Liana walked over with the paper bag, “Mr. Laurence, Ms. Shultz asked me to return this coat to you.”

She handed the bag to Bernard, and he finally looked.

“Just throw it away.”

He said coldly, as if disposing of something worthless.

“Alright.”

Liana replied, turning to leave with the bag again.

She guessed that Bernard would ask her to dump it, but she came regardless, as she didn’t dare to handle his things carelessly.

As she was about to throw the bag into the large trash bin outside, the man’s indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind her-
