A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 249

Bernard was stunned, looking at Eleanor's reluctant expression.

Ms. Vulpe had once said that she always felt like she was just a substitute for him.

Did Eleanor think that he'd been falling in love with another woman all this time?

Bernard opened his mouth and told her, "Eleanor, it's always been you, never anyone else."

Three years have passed, and his explanation came too late – Eleanor just didn't believe it.

Her calm and emotionless gaze made Bernard's heart ache.

Hugging her arm, he unconsciously tightened his grip.

It was as if he didn't hold her tight enough, she might leave at any moment.

He had already experienced losing her once and couldn't bear to be apart again.

He hugged her with all his strength, "Eleanor, I'm sorry. Can I... have another chance?"

He didn't even know how to explain the misunderstandings over the years, let alone express the endless longing.

All he could do was lower his head, begging for a chance to cherish her again ...

Eleanor's eyes trembled slightly, but her face remained calm: "I'm not Eleanor ..."

Bernard's body suddenly stiffened, and then he raised his hand to gently hold her chin, turning his head to kiss her.

Eleanor was so angry at this sudden move that she trembled all over, trying to push him away but held firmly.

He only intended to have a brief kiss, but once he touched her lips, Bernard couldn't help himself.

He missed her so much that even with her right there, he couldn't feel her presence.

All he could do was hold her face tightly and kissed her intensely, regardless of anything else.

Kissing her until her cheeks turned red, he still couldn't bear to let go but wouldn't let her leave.

Eleanor sneered, "So what if I admit it?"

Bernard was taken aback, looking at her with reddened eyes.

Her expression was cold and emotionless, full of disdain.

Seeing such an indifferent Eleanor, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

As he tried to say something, Eleanor turned her head - the cold lake-like eyes reflecting his pale face.

"Do you really love me, as you just said?"

"Yes ..."

Bernard felt that she was still willing to communicate with him, so he quickly nodded in agreement: "Ten years ago, at the University of A ..."

He wanted to tell her that he had liked her a long time ago, but she interrupted him coldly: "Then let me ask you, if you loved me so much, why didn't you wait when I asked you to back then? I begged you to wait until the contract ended before we broke up, but what did you do?"
