A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 292

The moment Hailey finished speaking, she caught sight of the black umbrella Eleanor was clutching. She eyed the umbrella, then glanced at Eleanor's pale face, but didn't ask any questions.

Asking the housekeeper for a towel, she helped Eleanor dry her rain-soaked hair and cheeks.

Afterwards, she softly suggested, "Eleanor, how about you go take a hot bath? I'll make you some ginger tea, it'll be ready by the time you're out."

With that, Hailey gently ushered Eleanor towards the bathroom. Suddenly, Eleanor's eyes welled up with tears and her face turned ghostly pale.

Seeing this, Hailey couldn't help but sympathize, "Did Bernard say something to you, Eleanor..."

Although Hailey wasn't exactly sure what transpired after Bernard had taken Eleanor away, she could sense Eleanor's pain.

Hailey opened her arms and quietly reassured, "Whatever happened, Eleanor, I'm here for you. Whenever you need me, I'm just here."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor finally let her tears flow.

She dove into Hailey's embrace like a child, shedding any pretense and crying her heart out.

"Hailey, he really did...love me." Eleanor said.

Turned out, Bernard had been living a tough life since childhood.

Everything he cared about got ruined by his own mother.

He was cold to Eleanor in public only to protect her from getting hur,

He remembered Eleanor's phone number.

He didn't sleep with Sophie.

He didn't treat her as a replacement.
