A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1087

Garett didn't press for more, he elegantly lifted his hand, picked up the coffee pot on the table, poured it into the cup, and handed it over to Eleanor.

"You used to watch the headmaster making coffee when you were a kid, saying you wanted to be a barista when you grow up. Well, have you learned how to make it now?"

His words were casual, making Eleanor's tense face relax gradually.

She took the cup, put it to her lips, took a slow sip, and then smiled.

"I'm sorry, I might not have the knack for it."

Upon seeing Eleanor's familiar and sweet smile, Garett's serene eyes gradually revealed a hint of warmth. He began to introduce the different types of coffee to Eleanor. Though she seemed to only partially grasp the details, she nodded in acknowledgment.

"Garett, when did you start liking coffee? I remember you didn't care for it before," she inquired.

Because you wanted to become a barista, I took your place and became one.

This was the silent answer Garett provided in his heart, but he chose not to vocalize it. Eleanor thought her question might have been foolish since he didn't respond, and she tried to conceal her embarrassment by sipping her coffee.

After a few more seconds of silence, Eleanor set down her cup and lifted her gaze, looking at the tranquil Garett. "Garett, you were supposed to marry one of the daughters of the Herman family. Why haven't I heard any news of your impending wedding?"

Garett's grip on the coffee cup tightened, and his expression dimmed for a moment. "I've broken off the engagement with her," he replied.

Eleanor frowned.

"Why?"

Because you married Bernard, I don't need to pretend anymore. Garett thought, but he said,"Because, she found someone more suitable for her."

Eleanor looked into Garett's clear eyes, seemed to notice something, and then turned her gaze away.
