A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 569
Watching his retreating figure, Bernard turned to Eleanor and said. “Eleanor, Ms. Vulpe doesn’t know you’re back yet. I’ll take you to see her tomorrow”
Eleanor was thinking the same and promptly nodded, saying, “Great, I was planning to go see her tomorrow. I’ve been MIA for half a year She must be worried sick ”
Cedric overheard their conversation and immediately halted his steps.
He stood in place, wavering for a moment, then gritted his teeth and turned back into the dining room.
The dashing Mr. Laurence stepped up to Eleanor placed his hand on his chest, gave an extremely gentleman-like bow, and then sincerely apologized to Eleanor
“Ms. Schultz, my apologies. I shouldn’t have been rude to you or doubted you. Please forgive my lapse”
Eleanor was taken aback by Cedric’s action. Before she could even react, the man holding her spoke.
“So, what’s the catch?”

Cedric, noticing he finally had Bernard’s attention, slowly caught on
So he had been giving him the cold shoulder just to make him apologize
In the end, Bernard pinpointed his weak spot, forcing him to apologize, and only then did he engage in conversation with him.
Cedric had no choice but to play along. “Let me be the one to inform Ms. Vulpe of Ms. Schultz’s safe return.”
Bernard stirred his soup, giving Cedric a nonchalant look. “Anything else?”
Cedric politely replied, 11 personally bring Ms. Vulpe over tomorrow, so the sisters can have a good catch-up.”
The man at the head of the table finally gestured towards the door, saying. You may leave now.”
Cedric gritted his teeth and walked out.
Eleanor saw Cedric seething, almost fuming, and couldn’t help but chuckle: You’re protecting me like this, I’m going to make enemies.”
Bernard spooned another mouthful of soup for Eleanor, saying softly yet firmly, “You’re my wife, if I don’t protect you, who will?”
The term “wife” warmed Eleanor’s heart, the sweetness felt like the s***s falling outside, serene and beautiful.
Eleanor made a wish in her heart: to always be happy.
Then she picked up the soup spoon and fed Bernard
His stomach wasn’t good, so she’d take care of it from now on.
As long as Mr. Laurence was healthy, her happiness would last.
