A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 143

Her eyes were clear and clean, with no complicated feelings towards him, just pleading.

Bernard's blood ran cold, and the slight comfort he had felt after sleeping with her instantly vanished.

His heart was torn open with a long gash, hurting so much that it seemed like even his palms were in pain.

He clenched his fists, trying to control the spreading pain, but couldn't stop it.

That kind of pain was unprecedentedly intense, spreading through his entire body, too unbearable to tolerate.

"Mr. Laurence, I'm so grateful to you for lending me a hand when I was most helpless back then. Otherwise, Garett wouldn't have made it."

"I appreciate you, but my feelings for you go no further than that."

"Enough!"

Bernard suddenly let out a cold laugh, making Eleanor shut her mouth abruptly.

She didn't have the courage to look at Bernard, her head hanging low, waiting for the storm of anger to come.

But after a long wait, the man didn't respond.

She slowly looked up, seeing his cold and disappointed eyes.

Her felt like her heart was being crushed by something, causing her so much pain that it was even difficult for her to breathe.

This man was best at controlling his emotions, and at this point, he had already calmed down.

To this woman, five years just meant gratitude, nothing more.

For her, he had lowered his dignity and went after her over and over again.

But he was rejected by her again and again. She only loved her Garett, and he was nothing in her heart.

If he continued to cling to her, it would only make him look ridiculous.

He hid the disappointment in his eyes and coldly looked at Eleanor, his voice filled with unprecedented coldness.

"Get out!"

He only said so, which meant he let her go.
