A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 270

Bernard grabbed her chin with one hand, forcing her to look him in the eye.

The man in front of her still looked so noble, his handsome face unchanged.

He had dark circles under his deep-set eyes, but it didn't affect his handsome appearance at all.

His hair was neat and tidy, making him look very elegant and gentlemanly...

The white shirt under his suit jacket had two buttons undone by her...

Now his collar was slightly open, revealing his collarbone...

Further down were his muscular chest and long legs.

This was the first time Eleanor had taken a close look at him since she'd returned, thinking he'd changed a bit, and yet not.

Bernard saw his own reflection in her eyes and smiled. It was only then that he could truly see himself in her eyes.

He touched her short hair and said, "I remember you used to like having long hair."

Eleanor trembled, recalling that she used to have long hair because he loved it.

Now that Ethan had forced her to cut it short, it meant closing the chapter on their past, and she'd never grow her hair long for him again.

Bernard's hand moved from her hair down to her chest, touching her heart.

Feeling her heartbeat, he seemed to remember something and became very guilty.

Trembling, he asked her, "Does it still hurt?"

Eleanor shook her head gently, "No, it doesn't hurt after I got a new heart."

She felt the hand resting on her chest trembling.

Without thinking, she glanced down and noticed four deep scars on his wrist, seemingly cut by a knife.

In addition, there were four scars on his palm that, even after healing, retained a terrifying appearance as if they had sliced through to the bone.
