A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1008

Eleanor clung to Bernard’s arm as they walked into the banquet hall, running smack dab into Tyler, who was coming out.

They stopped dead in their tracks. Tyler chuckled at the sight of the pair, his eyes radiating disdain.

Ignoring Bemard, he greeted Eleanor, his eyes filled with contempt.

Eleanor didn’t respond, just wanted to steer Bernard clear of Tyler. But just as they were about to leave, Tyler snickered

His jibe was so blatant that she had to respond, otherwise it would seem like she’s too submissive.

Tyler’s lips curled into a smirk.

“True, it doesn’t concern me. But I happen to know that your happiness comes at a great cost to someone else.”

Eleanor felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, and she froze in response to the situation.

Bernard noticed her reaction, and he furrowed his brows, thinking carefully before meeting Tyler’s gaze head–on.

“Did Garett send you to say this?” Bernard questioned Tyler, suspecting someone else might be behind this confrontation.
