A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1050

Thinking back to the times she had hit and scolded Chase, Latonia's heart gave a start, as if fearful of retaliation. She hesitated at the door, not daring to enter.

"I came here... to apologize to you."

Latonia brought out the expensive gift she had in her hand and offered it to Chase.

"I didn't know that your grandma passed away because of me, I'm really sorry."

Chase didn't take her gift, just looked at her coolly.

Seeing him not accepting it, Latonia awkwardly left the gift at the door.

She then straightened up, lifting her gaze towards Chase. In her eyes was a mix of anxiety and guilt.

"Sigrid had a fight with me last night. From what I can tell, she still cares about you. Maybe you two could..."

Chase cut her off.

"She fought with you because of my grandma, seeking justice. It wasn't because she still loves me. Between her and me..."

Chase took a deep breath, his swollen eyes full of pain.

"It's over."

She could love a person passionately, and when she didn't, she could let go completely.

No, she never really let go. She was forced away.

His way of forcing her away was too cruel, that's why she couldn't look back.

Latonia didn't expect their ending to turn out this way.

She had agreed, but why couldn't they get back together?

Chase didn't answer her, just bent down, picked up the gift she had left at the door and placed it back in her hands.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You're her mother, worried about her misfortune, and did some things that were over the top. I understand."

"As for my grandma, she felt guilty for letting me down. That's why she took her own life. If anyone is to blame, it should be me for my inability."

Latonia stared blankly at Chase, unable to believe that such mature words could come from someone so young.

She suddenly realized how narrow-minded her thoughts were...

Because of this narrow-mindedness, she hurt her own daughter, and this young man in front of her...

"I'm sorry."

Facing Chase, Latonia bowed in apology.
