A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1361

Chapter 1361

Eleanor left the airport and went back to her pre-marriage villa. She sat at her desk, contemplating her and Bernard’s future.

She couldn’t come up with anything, so she texted Aidyn, asking if he had found the address yet. Aidyn replied he hadn’t.

With each passing day, she feared Bernard would be in greater danger, especially after what had happened with Katharine. Her heart was filled with uncertainty.

However, she had a touch more rationality than Katharine. Perhaps it was because of her experiences that she had grown stronger over time.

As she sat daydreaming at her desk, there was a knock at the door. It was the Sharp brothers. They asked if she had made up her mind yet.

Eleanor refused them again. The Sharp brothers didn’t say much, and they just told her to rest well.

The next day, they sent people with all sorts of gifts, from luxury goods to health supplements, you name it. Even Bevis’ wife came to visit and cooked for her. They even brought their child to keep her company. Their eagerness was hard to refuse.

As she hesitated. Yates himself came. He didn’t bring gifts like the others, he brought shares of the Sharp family business.

He looked as dapper as the first time they met, with his white hair and suit. He was a picture of health and vitality, not like a man in his seventies.

Eleanor, despite everything, respected him. She welcomed him in and made tea.

“I actually don’t like tea.” He preferred coffee.

Eleanor paused mid-pour, her clear eyes glanced at him, “I only have tea in my house. Either you drink it, or you stay thirsty.”

Challenged by her, Yates didn’t fuss. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and began to look around her house, “The style is not bad, but it lacks the warmth of the little courtyard house you designed yourself.”

Eleanor didn’t respond, she just continued to make tea.

Yates put down his tea cup and watched Eleanor.

“My plan is for you to live in that little courtyard house, and when your child is born and grows up, I will take him fishing by the river, what do you think?”

Eleanor picked up a pinch of tea with tweezers, dropped it into the teapot, and then looked up at Yates, “I don’t think much of it.”

If it had been one of the Sharp brothers, Yates would have been furious. But looking at a face that was so similar to Pauline’s, he actually began to smile, “My granddaughter, you have a similar temperament to your grandmother, always challenging me with your words.”

“That may be because you are not very likable?”

“And what does it take to be likable?”

Eleanor didn’t know how to respond to that.

“Why don’t you like me?” Yates asked again.

“How do you know I don’t like you?”

“Your eyes show your dislike for me.”

Yates, with his authoritative aura, tilted his head slightly, observing Eleanor who was avoiding his gaze, “Why?”

“There is no reason.” After replying, she felt there was no need to beat around the bush with Yates and looked up again.

“You couldn’t marry Pauline, but you seduced her, got her pregnant, then turned around and engaged in a business marriage. Have you ever considered her and your children’s feelings?”

If it weren’t for Yates, her mother wouldn’t have had to remarry, nor would she have been abandoned on the streets. All this tragedy was caused by the irresponsibility of this man.

“So you are blaming me.” Regret flashed in Yate aged eyes as he looked back at the past.

“It was my fault. I thought that once my business partnership with my legal wife ended, I could divorce and marry Pauline. But I forgot Pauline was a woman of strong character.”

And he shouldn’t have tampered with her first love. But when he was young, he saw her among many women and fell in love. He wanted her desperately.

Later, Pauline fell in love with him too, deeply in love. But she couldn’t overcome her guilt towards her first love and decided to leave him with their children…

Yates remembered those days without her as a madman, searching for her everywhere. In the end, all he found was her violated and torn body.
