A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 132

"Hailey..."

He choked, making Hailey's heart tremble.

She didn't admit that he was Jason; she always thought he was Garett.

So when he called her like the old times, it was a lie to say that Hailey wasn't shocked.

However, she didn't give any response, just coldly stared at his crimson eyes.

Years ago, she accompanied Eleanor to B City to find him, but they were driven away by his bodyguard.

Later on, she was persuaded back to A City by Eleanor, only to have their photos wiped out by the Clowers family.

At that time, the rented house was a mess, and the furniture they had painstakingly saved up for was destroyed as well.

What disappointed Hailey even more was that he even wanted to kill Eleanor.

These things also made her unable to forget, even after reuniting, she still felt resentful.

"I'm sorry..."

He seemed to muster up all his courage before saying these words.

This apology was five years late, and it had caused them to lose contact for five years.

"The person you should say sorry to is Eleanor."

The only person he owed an apology to in his life was Eleanor, not her.

"I'm sorry to you as well, but even more sorry to her..."

After murmuring this, he subconsciously gripped Hailey's hand tighter.

His reddened eyes were filled with pleading: "Please, tell me where she is. I have something important to say to her."

Although Hailey found Jason strange, she didn't want to delve deeper into what was wrong with him, so she pushed his hand away.

"She said she'd come to find you in a few days. Just wait for her to find you and you can say whatever you want to her."

"That's impossible. She was taken away by Bernard. That man won't let her come find me..."

Seeing that he didn't dare to admit it, Hailey's pity disappeared immediately. "Five years ago, the last time she came to Clowers family to find you, you kicked her so hard, right in the heart. If it weren't for a passerby finding her, she would have died by the roadside. Don't tell me you didn't know all this."

No wonder that since then, Eleanor never came to find him again. It turned out that he had almost killed her.

He smiled, but the bitterness and helplessness in his smile made him even more miserable.

He slowly let go of Hailey's hand, leaning on the doorway and squatting down as he struggled to catch his breath.

Seeing him like this, Hailey's brow furrowed even deeper. "Are you planning just to stay here and wait for her to come back?"

Jason seemed to have no strength to speak, just nodding lightly.

Hailey knew that he had always been stubborn, so persuading him to leave was useless. So, she made up her mind to tell him the truth.

"Each time Eleanor is taken away by Bernard, she won't come back for at least two or three days. You can't wait here the entire time, can you?"

From his expression, it appeared that he already knew to whom Eleanor had sold herself.

Since that was the case, it was fine to tell him. After all, he couldn't possibly defeat that man anyway.
