A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 93

Looking at those cold eyes, her heart couldn’t help but race.

Eleanor subconsciously shifted her gaze away, only to notice that his hand was gripping her waist. He must have lifted her from the sofa by pinching the waist earlier.

Now, half–leaning back on the sofa, with him leaning over her, their positions seemed a bit intimate.

She reached out her soft hand, trying to push him away, but as soon as her hand touched his shirt sleeve, he coldly scolded, “Don’t touch me!”

Startled, Eleanor froze and didn’t dare to move any further. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She obediently withdrew her hand and looked puzzled at the hand that held her waist.

She wasn’t allowed to touch him, yet he kept touching her time and time again. This man was really making.

no sense!

She dared not look at him and could only lower her head, softly asking, “Mr. Laurence, did you need me for something?”

Her voice trembled a little, not knowing if it was out of fear or because of her weak body.

With a straight face, Bernard glanced at the men’s suit jacket still draped over her.

He found it irritating and snatched it up, throwing it into the trash bin.

Seeing the jacket being thrown accurately into the bin, Eleanor’s face changed slightly, “Did you come to see me just to throw away Mr. Clowers‘ jacket?”

Although she didn’t know when Jason had put his jacket on her, Bernard’s action of throwing it in the trash was way over the top!

He was crazy! If he hated her, he should leave her alone, why bully her like this?

Feeling angered inside, she plucked up the courage to push him hard before standing up from the sofa and trying to walk out of the lounge. But Bernard grabbed her and pulled her back.

Her whole body collided into his arms, the impact causing tears to almost burst out.

Her tearful eyes looked up at the man who imprisoned her in his embrace, “What on earth do you want?”

Beneath Bernard’s cold eyes, there was a hint of anger, “Why did you lie to me?”

It seemed that he had been holding back for a long time before asking the question. His eyes turned red

gradually.

“What?” Eleanor looked confused. What did she lie about?

Seeing her pretending not to know, the hand that had gripped her waist moved to the back of her head..

He pulled her face close, looking down, staring coldly into her eyes, “You’ve known Jason for years, but you said you just met him! Do you find it amusing to lie to me time and time again?”

His eyes burned with anger, and his voice was full of coldness.

Eleanor was forced to look back at those furious eyes, with no escape. She was scared of this Bernard, but she didn’t know how to explain.

That day, the lie about just metting Jason was to prevent any leak about her past relationship with him. She didn’t expect Bernard to find out the truth so quickly, let alone confront her about it. She had always thought that Bernard didn’t care about her, so he wouldn’t pay much attention to her life.

But she had underestimated him. He was even able to find out whether she slept with Josef, so such a thing could not be hidden from him.

However, if Jason found out that she had revealed their past, he probably wouldn’t let her off easily.

Thinking of this, Eleanor closed her mouth tightly and gave no explanation.

Instead of facing Jason’s cruel methods, it was better to have Bernard misunderstand, suspect, and question her.
