A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1463

Tall and imposing, Bernard had changed back into his black suit, which made him look like the garb of a spectral envoy from the netherworld, an aura of chilling detachment emanating from him. His alabaster complexion and the barely concealed fury in his eyes seemed to threaten the very air around him.

Eleanor’s eyelashes fluttered downward as she contemplated the man outside, a tempest of rage within him. With a slow, deliberate movement, she pushed open the car door.

Before she could step out, her wrist was seized by his icy fingers. Had she not been carrying their child, he might have already yanked her from the vehicle with brute force.

He held her wrist, helping her out of the car, and then suddenly lowered his frosty gaze to Robin, who was frowning in concern. The moment their eyes locked, Robin saw a flash of murderous intent in Bernard’s gaze, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
