A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1314

Eleanor had laid out her cards on the table, and yet the answer she was given was a cold shoulder. She felt a sense of defeat, a smirk playing on her lips, “There should be a reason for your betrayal, right?” right?”

Sophie clung to Berard’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder, “Can’t you see, he’s with me now.”

A scomful laugh escaped Eleanor’s lips, “How can he be with you when he despises you so much. If you want to get rid of me, just do it. Don’t disgust him, or me.”

Sophie didn’t seem perturbed by Eleanor’s words, she simply lifted her fair hand and gently caressed her belly, “Yes, he despised me once, but things have changed. I’m bearing his child, so he should bear some responsibility…”

Eleanor’s body, which she had been forcing herself to keep upright, froze instantly. From her hands to her feet, a chill ran through her body. The belief that ‘he was doing this to protect me’ collapsed abruptly in her mind.

Her disbelieving gaze moved from Sophie’s smug face to Bernard’s, “Tell me it’s not true, and I will believe you.”

Bernard, drenched in cold sweat from the pain, was listening to the ticking of a countdown in his head, simultaneously looking past her face to the red laser sight behind her head.
