A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 95

Eleanor felt awful and wronged, but didn't know how to express it.

The silence from her had the anger in Bernard's eyes gradually turn into disappointment. He thought that this woman must be really something, making him swallow his pride to come to her time and time again.

Thinking about all they've been through, it seemed so absurd and foolish!

He suddenly snapped out of it and let go of Eleanor.

The disappointment in his eyes turned back into coldness and detachment.

"From now on, I won’t bother with you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Eleanor stood there, dumbfounded, watching his back disappear quickly. Her heart suddenly felt empty.

Her gut told her that he was not coming back.

Suddenly gathering courage from somewhere, she went up to him and stopped him.

She tried to explain, a bit incoherently, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, Garett and I, I mean, Jason and I, we..."

"It's none of my business."

Bernard coldly cut her off, "I came to you just because I couldn't stand being deceived. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."

His words were like a bucket of icy water, dousing Eleanor and making her shiver all over.

All of those explanations got stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Pretending not to care, Eleanor nodded her head, "Alright, take care, Mr. Laurence."

As she spoke, tears burst from her eyes. She quickly turned away, trying to hide them from him.

She heard the sounds of a door opening and closing behind her. Without hesitating for a second, the man left the room.

Looking back at the closed door, Eleanor's heart felt like it had been cut open.

Feeling weak, she leaned against the wall for support, then lied back down on the couch.
