A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1044

During that time, Sigrid was totally at sea, clueless as to why Chase didn't love her anymore. She kept on him like a dog with a bone, pestering him with the same question: "Do you still love me?"

Chase insisted that he no longer loved her, but Sigrid refused to accept this. She tried to hurt herself again, yet this time, he didn't shed tears or rush to save her, instead, he packed up his things and left.

He moved out of the house they once shared and relocated to a remote place. It took Sigrid a long time to find him, only to discover he was living with another woman.

Even so, Sigrid didn't give up. Like a fool, she waited in the living room, tidying up their room once their business was done.

At that time, as she was gathering the scattered clothes on the bed, she told herself that as long as she cleaned up, everything would be okay.

She believed that once Chase grew tired of other women, he would remember her goodness and return to her side.

That was how she managed to get through, time and again.

The last straw came when Chase yelled at her, telling her not to be so humble.

Only then did she pick up the other woman's clothes, slowly squatting down by the side of the bed.

She remembered that she didn't cry then, but only asked him one question, "Do you truly no longer love me?"

When she heard him say that he no longer loved her, she finally woke up. Once some people change their hearts, they truly can't come back.

Afterwards, she locked herself up, on the one hand, persuading herself to let go, and on the other, hoping that he would come to see her.

In these days, she gradually developed depression.

How did she pull through?

Through daydreams, self-redemption, and the company of her parents.

That period was so long and painful for her, her heart would ache whenever she thought back on it.

She told herself, never again would she go through such pain.

Luckily, as time went on, her pain started to fade.

She realized she had finally put that painful chapter behind her.

Having moved on, she looked at Chase's solitary figure and whispered:

"Chase, let's clear the air, so you can let go, and I can find peace."
