A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 337

Bernard didn't say a word, not seeming in the mood to chat with Garett.

Yet, Garett just smirked, unruffled, and chuckled, "When we were kids, we sure had it tough. As I got older, I thought to myself, when I can stand on my own two feet, I'll marry her and make sure she doesn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life..."

He paused, seemingly lost in the past, "You know, she's asked me a million times when I was going to marry her. I always told her to wait, just wait, until I realized, some people you can’t just keep them waiting..."

Bernard glanced at him, "Well, you got your wish."

The smile on Garett's lips, deep yet bitter, "Yeah, I did..."

Bernard said, "Congrats."

As he was about to leave, Garett stopped him, "I won't be taking this acquisition contract. You can have it back."

Bernard froze, turned back and said, "It wasn't for you."

Garett laughed, "I know."

Saving him, taking care of him, protecting him and now handing over The Clowers Group to him, all these, it's all for Eleanor.

It's enough to prove how much he loves Eleanor, but there's one thing Garett doesn't quite get...

He looked Bernard up and down, a puzzled look on his face, "If you loved her so much, why did you abandon her?"

Bernard's face turned pale, "That's none of your business."

Garett didn't push it, he just handed back the contract, "Mr. Laurence, thank you, but I don't want to owe you any favor."
