A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 611
Eleanor felt a pang in her heart as she lowered her head. What kind of background could she have had as an orphan?
Blake sneered when he saw her silence. Tve done my homework on your You’re an orphan. Even though you’ve found your
sister, she’s just a designer, how could she ever match up to my grandson?
True, if you compared their backgrounds, she couldn’t match up But, Even as a designer, my sister has achieved remarkable
success in her field”
He could belittle her background, but her sister was off limits
Blake clearly looked down on a mere designer, but he didn’t argue with Eleanor, simply stating “You know that’s your sister’s
achievement. It has nothing to do with you.”
His point being, her sister’s success didn’t reflect her own. Eleanor agreed with this. But he misunderstood her She was just
defending her sister..
Eleanor tried to explam, but Blake moved on from the first issue to the next, “Ms. Shultz, where did you graduate from?”
This question hit her hard, darkening her eyes
Seeing her silence, Blake answered for her, “Didn’t even get into the University of A, just some regular college. And my grandson
got into a top school at a young age. You still think you’re good enough for him?”
Eleanor’s fingers clenched tightly, as she faced Blake She was not intimidated by his aura but doubted herself because of his
questions...
Compared to her, Blake was calm, “Ms Shultz, women who have married into the Laurence family have each come from wealthy
families. Even if they’re not from wealthy families, they have impressive educational backgrounds. But your background, is not
even one of a regular family
I’m not looking down on ordinary families. If you work hard and achieve a high education, I’d accept it, at least it guarantees good
genes for the Laurence family. But you poor background, low education, how can I agree to this marriage?”
Eleanor took a step back from his words, but she gathered her courage and declared her feelings for Bernard Laurence, “Mr.
Laurence, I know my background isn’t good, and I didn’t get into a good college But, I will strive to improve myself and do

everything I can to make myself good enough for him”
Blake always valued talent. He scoffed, “Ms. Shultz, success in academics isn’t achieved by effort alone. If you were talented, it
would have shown when you were in college. Why wait until later to further your education?”
Eleanor looked glum Was it because she lacked talent that she didn’t get into a good college, or was it because her heart
condition worsened during the exam?
She couldn’t find the right answer anymore. Her past self was so focused on graduating and starting work to support herself, she
didn’t have the courage to go back and try again. Outsiders wouldn’t understand these matters of her past. If she spoke about it,
she’d probably get laughed at So Eleanor didn’t bother explaining, just quietly looked at Mr. Laurence
“I understand your point, but I’m sorry, I won’t leave Bernard just like that.”
He once said, if she left him again, he wouldn’t be able to bear it And she, couldn’t lose him again
Seeing Eleanor still determined, a layer of frost formed on Mr. Laurence’s handsome face “Since you won’t leave him, I’ll ask you
the third question....
His cold and indifferent gaze moved from Eleanor’s face to her belly, “Ms. Shultz, I heard you can’t have children, is that true?”
