A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1344

Eleanor caught a glimpse of the lingering tension in the room, “Sorry, I’ve made you worried.”

“We’re not worried, it’s just that Bryson looks like he’s aged a decade from the stress.”

Scott tried to soothe Eleanor, only to be interrupted by an offhand comment from Aidyn..

“He looked old to begin with.”

Aidyn was obviously trying to provoke Scott, who responded with clenched fists and a fierce glare. However, in Eleanor’s presence, they avoided a physical brawl, and instead chose to turn their backs on each other.

Eleanor was oblivious to their petty quarrels and offered a few words of apology.

Both men quickly dismissed her apologies, expressing their understanding of her situation.

After the small talks, Cedric finally cut to the chase.

“Eleanor, how is Bernard doing? Is he hurt?”

Earlier, Cedric had tried to get information from Robin, who was as tight-lipped as if his lips were welded shut.

Cedric had been on the verge of punching him a few times, but held back, considering Robin had accompanied Eleanor to find Bernard.

Eleanor knew they were all worried about Bernard. So, unlike her grieving demeanor in front of Hailey, she responded to Cedric’s query in a composed manner.

“He’s not hurt. In fact, he’s become the member of Area Opaca.”
