A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 555

Eleanor was waiting for an answer from Bernard, waiting for so long that he still didn't respond. In the end, she just chuckled, saying:

"I get it, you... don't want me anymore..."

She raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, stepping back, disappointed.

She didn't leave, just stood there alone, looking at the silent man before her, and whispered.

"Can you at least give me a reason?"

Yet, the man didn't speak or look at her, seemingly using a cold silence to force her to leave.

Eleanor, realizing his intentions, stroked the scar on her left hand - a memento of her suicide attempt for him.

Only then did she truly experience what real heartache felt like, more unbearable than death itself.

She stared at Bernard, holding back the pain.

"You promised to marry me, to stay with me forever, why would you go back on your word?"

The man before her, frowned at Eleanor who blended in with the falling snowflake.

His eyes conveyed a murky emotion that couldn't be deciphered.

"Where were you when I was unconscious in the hospital?"

"I was..."

"You were with Ethan."

Bernard cut Eleanor off, his cold eyes full of despair.
