A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 887

Bernard gazed at the woman in the wheelchair, the same woman who had once brought him endless pain, with an emotionless face. He said coldly, "I once tried to please you."

When he was six, he imitated his brother in a desperate attempt to earn a sliver of motherly love. On Donna's birthday, he bought her favorite cake and ran excitedly to Donna. "Mom, I got your favorite cake. I wish you health and happiness forever."

But Donna didn't respond with the same tenderness she showed his brother. She didn't take the cake, and she patted his head gently. Instead, she kicked him away, crushing the cake with her high heels, all the while cursing, "Even if the bastard buys me something, I wouldn't eat it even if it was to feed the dog."

Until yesterday, Bernard could not understand why Donna was so cruel to him. But now that he knew the truth, he felt relieved.

They weren't mother and son. How could he ever hope to get a shred of motherly love from Donna?

Donna seemed to recall Bernard's attempts to please her too, but that flicker of emotion vanished in an instant.

She would never see him as her son. She kept him alive only for revenge, for torture, and for venting.

To her, Bernard was always just a tool to alleviate her pain. Don't expect her to have any feelings for him.

Donna built a high wall in her heart, but when she saw Bernard's face, so similar to Leonard Laurence's, she slowly lowered her proud head.

Was she wrong? Really wrong?

No, she was wrong.

She exposed Tammie Pine as a member of the Pine family to get Leonard Laurence. She was the one who broke them apart first, then blatantly hinted to Blake that she was the one fit to be Leonard Laurence's wife.

Blake proposed a business marriage to the Stanley family; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to marry the man she had been in love with for so long.

She thought Leonard Laurence would forget Tammie Pine once he married her. But he drank every day and night, calling Tammie Pine's name in his dreams.
