A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 615

When Blake left, Eleanor felt all antsy. She looked up at Bernard, "I think I really can't get pregnant."

Being childless was a bigger blow to her than the elders of the Laurence family opposing their marriage.

Bernard gently pulled her into his arms, comforting her softly, "Eleanor, I don't need a kid." In his lifetime, having her was enough. He didn't want a kid to distract him.

Eleanor knew Bernard didn't want a child. But the elders of the Laurence family were right, how could the leader of the Laurence family not have a child?

She leaned her face gently against his solid chest, sighing deeply, "Bernard, maybe...we shouldn't get married yet."

Bernard was the leader of the family and the youngsters followed him, but the elders didn't respect her. She didn't deserve him.

Their social status was unequal, she couldn't have children, and the elders didn't bless them. All these issues made Eleanor scared and hesitant.

Her words made Bernard freeze. His face instantly turned pale. His eyes intensely gazed at her. After staring for a long time, he said in a low voice.

"Eleanor, you promised to marry me. How could you choose to leave me because of a few words from others?"

His voice trembled, and his eyes turned red. Her hesitation seemed to have hurt him.

Seeing Bernard so helpless, Eleanor felt guilty, reaching out her arms and holding him tightly.

"Bernard, I'm sorry, I'm not leaving you. I just think I don't deserve you, I want to wait until I've accomplished something before marrying you."

He held her tightly, almost suffocating her.

"Eleanor, I've said it many times, I don't care about these things. If you do, I'll give up everything and become an ordinary person."

Eleanor, gasping for breath in his arms, wanted to persuade him, but he shut her up with his finger.

"Your background, talents, skills, none of it matters. I only want you, Eleanor. Just you. Do you understand?"

Eleanor's heart ached. She didn't expect her words to make him so scared, which made her feel guilty.

"I'm sorry."
