A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 64

Eleanor noticed the change in Jason's eyes when he looked at her, and she knew what he was thinking.

She asked coldly, "Does Mr. Clowers still plan to have dinner with a woman like me?"

She knew he was thinking about her past, and he would probably refuse without hesitation.

But to her surprise, Jason firmly said, "Of course."

He then walked straight towards the hotel restaurant.

Eleanor stared at his retreating figure, hesitating for a moment before following him.

The restaurant manager personally greeted them upon seeing Jason.

"Mr. Clowers, right this way, please."

He led them to a quiet and comfortable table, attentively pulling out their chairs and respectfully handing them menus.

Jason took the menu and asked Eleanor, "What would you like to eat?"

Eleanor replied indifferently, "I'm not hungry, you can order."

Her health wasn't great, and she didn't have an appetite for anything.

Seeing her aloof attitude, Jason didn't say much and casually ordered a few light dishes before returning the menu to the manager.

After the manager departed, Jason reached for the water glass nearby and poured Eleanor some water. His actions were graceful, his manners flawless—these aspects of his character remained unchanged. Even as a child, he stood out among the other kids at the orphanage.

Reserved, quiet, and always polite, he possessed a remarkable intellect. In those days, Eleanor viewed him as a precious gift from above. However, a faint ache still lingered in her chest now.

Noticing the dimness in Eleanor's eyes, Jason's brow furrowed slightly. "Ms. Shultz, what's on your mind?"

She lightly touched her chest and responded with a hint of indifference, "Just something I saw online."

Curiosity sparked in Jason, and he inquired, "What is it?"

Eleanor's reply carried a detached tone, "Once you achieve success, the first step is to let go of past relationships."

Jason didn't catch the deeper meaning of her words, but he felt that Eleanor was indirectly referring to him.

"You're not talking about me, are you?"

Eleanor didn't answer, just picked up her water glass and took a sip silently.
