A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1499

From the moment Damian hit the terrible twos, Bernard found himself scheming like a cat burglar just to spend some alone time with Eleanor. His usual tactic was to lull the tyke to sleep and then whisk him away to dreamland. But like clockwork, it would take just one try before Damian would pop open his eyes and unleash his cries.
