A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1310

Bernard didn't respond, just looked at her with bloodshot eyes.

Eleanor’s hand moved from his face down to his shirt. On the black fabric, a series of golden letters were embroidered.

Ace-Inviter-2-9.

This meant that he had become a part of Area Opaca, an operative of a higher rank than the average agent in black.

He had joined the backstage of the Area Opaca, at the same level as the one who invited her to join, 2-7.

He had been in Area Opaca all along, watching her, but he had only shown up now...

As she realized this, Eleanor's tears fell like pearls off a string, unstoppably.

She gradually gripped Bernard's shirt, her face wet with tears, her gaze fixed on him, "Were you injured somewhere, that you weren’t able to come home, to contact me, to see me?"

One tear after another fell, piercing Bernard's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

He raised his hand, gently wiped away her tears, and shook his head, "No, I broke my promise, I'm sorry."

Eleanor didn’t believe him, tried to reach for his head, but he grabbed her wrist.

Without any explanation, Bernard gripped her hand and headed towards the exit.

Eleanor followed behind him, looking at the back of his head, his thick hair still there, without any sign of brain surgery.

He hadn't lied to her. Eleanor, her eyes blurred with tears, looked at the silent Bernard, her heart shrouded in fog.
