A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 396

Eleanor stared at him as if she were looking at the old Bernard, who was often moody.

She was a bit afraid of this side of him, but unlike before, she didn't choose to stay silent. Instead, she tried to find the reason within herself.

She kept recalling their conversation, and then she slowly understood...

She said to the man who was kissing her, "Bernard, it's not that I don't want a baby, I'm just not mentally ready yet. Don't get me wrong."

The man who was angry with her suddenly stopped when he heard this explanation, his eyes full of guilt.

He held Eleanor weakly and buried his face in her neck.

"Eleanor, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

It was his insecurity, his fear that one day she would leave him without looking back.

This kind of anxiety was tormenting him, making it feel unreal even when he had her.

As if this was all just a beautiful dream that would shatter one day, it was just a matter of time...

Seeing him so anxious, Eleanor took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

"Bernard, I'm already with you, don't be afraid..."

She took the initiative to kiss him, calling his name softly like she used to...

Bernard stunned, stared at the woman clumsily kissing him for a few seconds before deepening the kiss.

His Eleanor was right, she was already with him, there was no need to be fearful.

Eleanor woke up in a room full of sunshine, feeling like she had slept for a long time and regained some energy.
