A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1271

The painful smile on Evan’s face when he left kept echoing in Eleanor’s mind.

She always felt that Evan was keeping something from her, but what exactly was it?

Though she had some guesses, she chose not to think about the possibility of something bad happening to Bernard or Caleb. Instead, she relied on the messages Evan brought back, stayed at home, and waited patiently for 22 days.

When the clock struck midnight, and there was still no sign of Bernard’s car or Bernard himself at the entrance of Fiord Roundabout…

At that moment, all the trust Eleanor had built up inside collapsed. She smashed a priceless watch for the first time and also flipped a dining table for the first time. She couldn’t bear it anymore, dashed out of the villa like a lunatic, and ran towards the end of the road. If it weren’t for Scott’s intervention, she might have been hit by a car.

Scott held onto the irrational Eleanor tightly, repeatedly trying to comfort her, “Ma’am, just wait a little longer. Mr. Law will definitely come back. He will!”

Eleanor found it laughable, “Do you really believe that?”

Scott was rendered speechless.

He did believe it at first, but when Mr. Penrod appeared, he lost that faith..

Area Opaca was a place where people from the Siren Organization couldn’t get out of once they entered. The fact that Mr. Penrod came back safe and sound probably meant someone paid the price with their life.

Who’s life was that, Scott dared not to think. Because whether it was Mr. Law, whom he helped to take care of, or Caleb, whom he grew up with, he couldn’t accept either of their deaths.

But even if he guessed the possible outcome, he couldn’t tell Eleanor and had to pretend to know nothing, silently accompanying her, protecting her.

If the person who paid the price was really Mr. Law, then Scott would stay by Eleanor’s side for the rest of his life, protecting Mr. Law’s partner.

With even Scott unable to provide an answer, Eleanor’s doubts grew bigger and bigger until she was filled with fear.

She resisted the fear, broke free from Scott’s hold, hugged her arms, and slowly crouched down,
