A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1261

Eleanor wasn't exactly sure how strong Bernard's sense of duty was, she was just worried about him, "Your missions before only took a day or two, but this one will take a month. It must be dangerous, right?"

Bernard tried to soothe her, "Well, it is a bit risky, but trust me, I'll be fine."

Eleanor didn't buy it, "Then take me with you."

With a helpless grin, Bernard ruffled her hair, "Honey, it's dangerous out there, not really suitable for you."

Eleanor understood. Bernard couldn't take her along. She just wanted to be a bit defiant.

But she knew she couldn't cause him trouble just because she wanted to be stubborn.

She weakly gripped his shirt, her cheek against his chest, "I feel so useless."

All she could do was wait for him at home, it felt so useless!

Bernard gave a faint smile, his eyes filled with affection, "My life wouldn't mean a thing without you."

If she wasn't around, his life would be plain boring. Eleanor brought meaning to his life, how could she be useless?

She was supposed to be the one comforting him, but instead, he was comforting her. Eleanor felt sorry for the man who loved her unconditionally, "Honey, I'm giving you a month. If you don't return, I'll come looking for you."

They were husband and wife, bound together in life and death. But Bernard refused, "If I don't return in a month, I'll make sure someone lets you know I'm safe. You absolutely can't come looking for me."
