A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1366

The fact that Eleanor was Bernard’s wife was something the Sharp clan could have easily confirmed, but from the beginning, they refrained from bringing up Bernard in her presence, not even to ask about the child she was carrying.

Eleanor thought that the Sharps were unconcerned with who her husband was, only caring about her. Hence, they never brought the subject up. Now that Yates himself was asking, she made no attempt to evade the question.

After freezing in place for a few seconds, Eleanor turned to face Yates. “He’s important,” she stated.

In her mind, he was important as the stars. But presently, Bernard was obscured by dark clouds, temporarily out of sight. Eleanor had to wait, wait for the clouds to disperse, before she could see him again.

Across half of the garden, Yates held Eleanor’s gaze. It was unclear what he was pondering, but after a long wait, he finally spoke, “I’ve looked into it. Bernard hasn’t treated you well. He even endangered your life over another woman. Is such a man really that important?”

“That was a misunderstanding from the past. We are married now, and we have a child. Let’s not dwell on past grievances,” Eleanor responded.
