A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1416

Sheldon froze, a puzzled look crossing his face as he stared at the expressionless Bernard.

“What do you mean?”

“He’s your sister Tammie’s kid, didn’t you know?”

Evan’s casual words left Sheldon gobsmacked. “What… aren’t you Donna’s child?”

Sheldon knew about the saga of Tammie and her undying bond with Leonard Laurence.

But it never crossed his mind that Bernard could be their child.

This revelation left Sheldon incredulous, scrutinizing Bernard from head to toe.

Just by looks, you couldn’t tell much, but those eyes…

On closer inspection, they had a distant aloofness about them, quintessentially Tammie.

In Sheldon’s memory, Tammie always had a certain chilliness, as if nothing in the world mattered to her.

Bernard, standing not far off, had the same air of detachment, as if perched on a high pedestal yet indifferent to it all.

The more Sheldon looked, the more he saw the resemblance, and the disbelief in his eyes softened.

“No wonder you called me uncle before.”
