A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1261

Eleanor wasn't exactly sure how strong Bernard's sense of duty was, she was just worried about him, "Your missions before only took a day or two, but this one will take a month. It must be dangerous, right?"

Bernard tried to soothe her, "Well, it is a bit risky, but trust me, I'll be fine."

Eleanor didn't buy it, "Then take me with you."

With a helpless grin, Bernard ruffled her hair, "Honey, it's dangerous out there, not really suitable for you."

Eleanor understood. Bernard couldn't take her along. She just wanted to be a bit defiant.

But she knew she couldn't cause him trouble just because she wanted to be stubborn.

She weakly gripped his shirt, her cheek against his chest, "I feel so useless."

All she could do was wait for him at home, it felt so useless!

Bernard gave a faint smile, his eyes filled with affection, "My life wouldn't mean a thing without you."

If she wasn't around, his life would be plain boring. Eleanor brought meaning to his life, how could she be useless?

She was supposed to be the one comforting him, but instead, he was comforting her. Eleanor felt sorry for the man who loved her unconditionally, "Honey, I'm giving you a month. If you don't return, I'll come looking for you."

They were husband and wife, bound together in life and death. But Bernard refused, "If I don't return in a month, I'll make sure someone lets you know I'm safe. You absolutely can't come looking for me."

Don't cry, I'm here.

Don't cry, I'll come back.

Eleanor could accept the parting, but because Bernard was going to be away for a month, she cried all night long.

She couldn't treat this one month like a business trip because she knew how dangerous Bernard's mission was. Even though he didn't say where he was going or what he was doing, she could sense that this goodbye might change the course of their lives, which made her feel uneasy.

Bernard felt the same way. But when he thought of the members of the Siren Organization who died one after another, and Sophie's sharp gaze on Eleanor, he had to go.

But he didn't know how to express all these, all he could do was repeatedly comfort Eleanor, "Honey, don't worry, it's just a mission, nothing to be scared of, don't cry..."
