A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 597

"Bernard, thanks for arranging all this for me."

The man was messing around with the safe on the table. After Bernard finished inputting the password on the safe, he raised his head and called her over, "Come here."

When he said these two words it reminded Eleanor of the past. It was also at No. 8 Mansion when he first spotted her. The phrase he said to her the most was "Come here".

Back then, he was bossy and heartless, but now he was full of warmth. He showed her all his tenderness.

Eleanor walked up to him. Before she could stand straight, the man had her in his arms. He hugged her from behind and opened the safe on the table.

When Eleanor saw the cream-colored scarf, her photo, and a letter mended with countless strips of tape inside, she was stunned. She reached out to touch the scarf and lowered her head. She thought hard, then she remembered that these were the belongings she left at No. 8 Mansion.

But that photo was a picture of her sleeping face.

She picked up the photo, "When did you take this?"

"You wanted to leave me a picture before, so…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Eleanor understood.

That year, she thought she was dying and begged him to take a picture of her hoping he would keep it as a memento.

Bernard angrily refused back then. This was probably because he had heard her calling Garett's name in her dream.

Eleanor thought there would be no progress after his refusal, but surprisingly, he sneakily took a picture. It eased some of her regret.

"Eleanor, during those three years, I would look at this picture and miss you."

Without this picture, the Eleanor in his illusion would have been blurry. That's how he survived so many difficult days and nights.

Eleanor heard him and kissed his forehead, "Let's forget about the past. Now I'm here with you, you don't need to rely on the picture anymore."

She put the photo back into the safe, "In the future, I'll take more photos with you."
