A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1022

Eleanor ignored him, not pushing him away or asking why he was behaving strangely. She continued to serve soup into her bowl, completely disregarding Bernard's presence.

Feeling completely ignored, Bernard realized he had been too cold earlier and had upset her. He quickly apologized, "Darling, I know I was wrong. Please don't ignore me."

Still not responding to his apologies, Eleanor remained distant. Worried, Bernard took the spoon from her hand and pressed her against the wall, kissing her. While kissing, he cooed, "Sweetheart, I felt jealous when I saw Robin holding your waist, and it made me uneasy. I promise I won't ignore you anymore. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

It turned out that his earlier coldness towards her was due to his jealousy towards Robin. But this was completely unreasonable since it wasn't Eleanor's fault to be close to Robin.

Bernard's temper hadn't changed much over time. Whenever he got jealous, he tended to act coldly. He knew he needed to change this bad habit, or else he would end up losing his temper every time he felt jealous, which Eleanor couldn't bear.

Remaining calm, Eleanor pushed Bernard away, saying, "I'm not angry anymore. Go wash up and get ready for dinner."

Even though she said she wasn't angry, there was no sign of forgiveness on her face. Seeing this, Bernard felt a bit lost and hugged her tightly, saying, "Darling, I feel like you're still angry with me."

Eleanor mockingly raised an eyebrow, "How dare I be angry? After all, in this household, you have the final say. What say do I even have?"

Bernard could sense the sarcasm and said, "Darling, I know my cold attitude was wrong. I promise I won't act that way again. Please don't be like this."

This was truly frightening for Bernard. Eleanor finally relented and replied, "Hmm, whatever you say."

Seeing that his attempts to console her weren't working, Bernard grew anxious and pleaded, "Darling, please don't be like this."

This Eleanor reminded him of the time they broke up years ago, totally disregarding him.

Eleanor turned her head away, ignored him. Bernard reached out, held her chin, kissed her, this kiss more urgent and passionate than usual.

Eleanor, pinned against the wall, struggled to handle his kiss. Her nails dug into her palm, helping her stay upright as her body started to weaken.
