A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1086

"Eleanor, Hailey told me yesterday that you'd drop by. I had Yilia prepare a bunch of your favorite dishes. Stick around for lunch."

When he got the news, he almost chickened out, but then he thought better of it. If he didn't see her, Eleanor might think he was still hung up on the past.

He wanted Eleanor to know that he was over it, so she could settle down with Bernard and live the rest of her life happily. That’s what she really deserved.

But it had been so long since he saw her that he was tossing and turning all night. By the time 5 a.m. rolled around, he was sitting in the middle of the flower field, waiting for her.

When the morning sun finally came out, he saw the one person who had been on his mind.

The moment he saw her, his heart started to race again.

He realized that he would never get over the past in this lifetime, but he had to fake it till he made it.

"Okay."

With tears glistening in her eyes, Eleanor smiled and nodded.

Garett guided her into the house, and as they passed through the entrance, his wheelchair came to a slight pause. He remembered that in this very spot, Eleanor had once knelt and pleaded with him repeatedly, begging him not to abandon her. If he could return to that moment, he would hold Eleanor tightly and firmly declare, "Alright, I will never abandon you."

However, time had passed, and the years could not be reversed. Some things, even with regret, couldn't be undone.

As Eleanor entered, Yilia, now married, immediately came forward to greet her. "Ms. Shultz, it's truly been a long time," she said, holding Eleanor's hand and appraising her from head to toe.

"I never expected you to remain as beautiful as ever."

"So are you."

Seeing the happy girl in front of her, Eleanor smiled faintly, but her eyes fell on Yilia's belly.

There was a slight bump on Yilia's belly. Clearly, she was pregnant.

"This is mine and Colter Clowers' baby."
