Chapter 775 Bernard gave Elbert a hell of a smack that left his face sporting a five finger souvenir Elbert hit the deck and, after a few seconds, lifted his head to look up at the towering powerful figure of Berard Elbertâs face was now a lovely shade of lobster.
Well, this was a fine mess. His first time getting smacked, and by his nemesis no less This wasnât a fight, it was a one sided slap fest.
Talk about a real kick in the pants!
Elbert felt mortified, looking around, hoping nobody saw him.
Before he could even get a good look around another power slap landed on his face.
He didnât even have time to catch his breath before the second slap hit, leaving him seeing starsâ
And why the heck was Bernard only smacking his right cheek? Couldnât he switch it up a bit? Getting smacked in the same spot was making him see stars!
Just as Elbert was about to blow a gasket, Bernardâs hand rose again, this time aiming for Elbertâs left cheek.
Slap! If once wasnât enough, he went in for another Bernardâs look seemed to say, âThere, happy now?â
Bernard had said he would only slap him twice, but he went ahead and added two more for good measure. This left Elbert ready to explode!
He clenched his fists, ready to go a few rounds with Bernard.
But before he could even get up, he was kicked right back down to the ground.
Elbert tried to get up again, but Bernardâs leg was holding him down, making it impossible to move.
Bernard was standing on Elbertâs chest, his elbow resting on his knee, looking down at him with a cold gaze âThe first slap was for Eleanor,â he said âThe second one was because I donât like your faceâ
Elbert didnât get it, he felt like Bernard was taking advantage of him, and it pissed him off.
âYou said two slaps, I took them. But what gives you the right to slap me two more times?â
Bernard chuckled. His eyes suddenly held a chilling glint âYou took my wife without my permission. Thatâs why.â
Bernard patted Elbertâs nowâswollen face.
âYou should thank your lucky stars. I was in such a hurry to chase the car that I took off my studded gloves. Or else your face wouldâve been a real mess.â
With those final words, Bernard kicked Elbert away, turned, and held out his hand to Eleanor.
âEleanor, letâs go home.â
Eleanor gave a small nod, and after a few steps, she turned back to look.
That twentyâyearâold boy, who cared about his dignity, was trying to get up from the ground. He looked around, relieved no one saw him get slapped. But he was still glaring at Bernard.
He caught Eleanor glancing back at him. Their eyes met.
Eleanor saw his swollen face and burst into laughter.
And he, seeing her smile, could only stand there, dumbfounded.
That smile seemed familiar, like he had seen it somewhere before.
Elbert thought about it but couldnât remember.
All he remembered was seeing a photo in his dadâs drawer when he was a kid.
He couldnât remember if the person in the photo had the same smile as Eleanor.
All he remembered was his father telling him that the woman in the photo was his aunt, Vanya Pine.
He wasnât sure if Eleanor looked like Vanya, but the familianty was undeniable.
