A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 362

Eleanor watched Pearce’s retreating figure, frozen in place.

She never expected her sister's first project would be with the space agency.

It wasn't that she was scared of going on site visits, she was scared of...

Liana once mentioned Bernard Laurence worked at the space agency, if she bumped into him...

Hailey glanced at Eleanor, seeing her deep in thought, she understood what was going on in her mind.

She softly reassured her, "Eleanor, don’t sweat it. the space agency is massive. It’s not that easy to run into someone…"

True, Bernard was in charge of space exploration, and she was in charge of architecture. One in the sky, one on the ground, two different jobs. How could they possibly be working in the same place? She was overthinking it.

Eleanor snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "Hailey, are you coming with?"

As much as Hailey wanted to come along for the experience, she shook her head, "I won’t be going, I'm swamped at night."

After speaking, she reminded Eleanor like a mother would to her child, "Eleanor, Pearce is unreliable. You need to be extra careful when you're abroad, look after yourself, ok?"

Eleanor, clutching her arm, reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I got it, my dear sister..."

Hailey chuckled and patted her short hair, urging her to pack. Only then did Eleanor get up to head upstairs.

She picked out some clothes, packed them into a suitcase, and then opened the bag she brought back from the hospital.

She reached into the bag for her ID, but saw the divorce certificate.

Eleanor picked up the divorce certificate.

She slowly opened it, staring at the photos of the two of them. After a quiet moment, she tucked it away in a drawer.

In this lifetime, she owed Garett too much, more than she could ever repay.

He chose to leave and sever all contact, all to help her, to spare her from trouble.

Since she couldn't return to her youth and love him with all her heart, she would bury this guilt deep inside her, never to disturb him again. This was the best way to repay him...

Eleanor locked the drawer, as if locking away her past, never to open it again lightly.
