A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1083

Eleanor tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She wondered if it was because she slept in a strange environment. She decided to open her eyes and looked at Bernard, who was lying next to her with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. She reached out to touch his long eyelashes but he caught her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

"If you can't sleep because you miss Garett, I will punish you," Bernard's cold voice was filled with jealousy, causing Eleanor to burst into laughter.

"I'm not thinking about him," she replied.

Bernard slowly opened his eyes. "Then what are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering why the moon is so big and round, it's keeping me awake," Eleanor teased.

Bernard followed her gaze to the moon outside the window. He then released Eleanor, got up, and closed the curtains, turning off the night lamp.

"Now you can't see anything. Go to sleep, tomorrow we have to meet Garett," he said, his tone somewhat displeased and even stiff.

In the darkness, Eleanor stole a glance at him. Just as she finished, his arm reached out, startling her.

"Rest your head here," he said calmly.

Whenever she couldn't sleep, Eleanor liked to rest her head on his arm, lie in his embrace, and place her legs over his waist. This position always helped her drift off to sleep quickly.

Bernard knew about her habit and always indulged her.

Many times, even though his arm was numb, he wouldn't move, being considerate.

Eleanor leaned into his arms, smelling the faint scent of cedar on him, and slowly fell asleep.

In the dark night, Bernard held her quietly, listening to her breathing. Unlike before, he didn't hear her mention Garett in her dreams.

He still didn't know why Eleanor would call out Garett’s name in her dreams.

Because he didn't know, he often sat alone at the head of the bed all night, just to see if she would still call out Garett’s name in her dreams.

He admitted he was a bit petty, every mention of Garett made him uneasy. Like now, knowing they were to meet Garett tomorrow, he felt very irritable.
