A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1238

After Bernard responded with a ‘sure, he lowered his head, tenderly kissed Eleanor’s hair, and said, “Sorry, babe, I didn’t mean to worry you.”

Eleanor then lifted her head from his embrace, looking up at the man with the chiseled jawline, “I saw you with Sophie earlier. What’s up with that?”

Bernard stiffened, apparently not expecting her to have seen Sophie. After hesitating for a moment, he casually said, “She’s got a list of members from the Siren Organization. I thought I’d deal with her.”

The truth was, he was going to take her down, but couldn’t. Sophie was surrounded by people from Area Opaca. If Bernard, with his reputation, took her on, they’d start suspecting him. Once that happened, infiltrating Area Opaca would not only become harder but also riskier.

Luckily, he noticed a revealing insignia before he made his move and aborted the plan. Otherwise, this Sophie situation would’ve thrown a wrench into his entire plan.

But there was something he couldn’t figure out. V Why didn’t Sophie and Mr. Ben, who knew his identity, spill the secret to Area Opaca?

Bernard mulled over this, thinking it was strange that Sophie and Mr. Ben hadn’t exposed his identity, not even to Cameron. They were sitting on some pretty big secrets, and he couldn’t figure out what game they were playing.

When Bernard said ‘deal with her’, Eleanor probably took it to mean ‘teach her a lesson’, not kill her. So she bought his explanation pretty quickly, “Did you get the list back, then?”
