A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 988

Yeager firmly believed he was blameless, ready for a face–off with Bernard

“I don’t have his family background, nor a big bro who can solve all my problems, so it’s only natural i can’t outdo him”

Bernard smiled a gentle, knowing smile

His gaze landed on Yeager’s bandaged hand as he said this

Yeaper was taken aback that Bernard had seen through his attempt to fake Cedric’s car accident and felt cornered
