A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1085

From afar, the guy standing in a sea of flowers still looked as fresh and charming as he did when he was young.

The familiar face and silhouette gradually became clear in her view, just like a dream.

Every step she took towards him, her heart sunk into silence, and countless memories surged into her mind.

What she remembered was how well Garett treated her.

What Garett remembered was the lost Eleanor.

They locked eyes, in his eyes there was only her, and in hers, there was only relief.

They once promised each other forever, even made plans for their next lives, but in the end, she no longer belonged to him.

Tears blurred Garett's eyes, hiding his inner pain beneath the tears, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze.

Seeing his gentle smile, Eleanor stopped in front of him, stretched out her hand like an old friend reuniting after many years.

"Garett, long time no see."

He looked at the hand in front of him, silently for a few seconds, then lifted his hand from his knee to lightly hold hers.

The corners of Garett's eyes turned red.

"Mrs. Laurence, long time no see."

He gazed at his hands before him, silently contemplating for a few seconds. Then, he lifted his hand from his knee and gently clasped hers. A tinge of redness appeared in the corners of Garett's eyes.

"Mrs. Laurence, it's been a long time," he addressed her, employing this form of address to create a distance between them and to remind himself that his beloved Eleanor had become someone else's wife, leaving no room for any delusions.

Once deeply enamored lovers, their fingers briefly touched before releasing each other's grasp. One standing, the other sitting, they suddenly found themselves wordless.

After a few moments, Eleanor, beneath Garett's bewildered gaze, bent down and squatted before him, compassionately inspecting his legs.

"Garett, how are your legs now?" she asked, and Garett's gaze shifted from the hands that had just held hers, landing upon Eleanor.
