A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 324

Eleanor shook her head. "No, I don't want you to take me."

She pushed Bernard away, retreated into a corner, hugging herself tightly, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Bernard knelt on one knee before her, staring at her quietly for a while, then softly said, "If I couldn't be the one to marry you on your wedding day, at least let me be the one to take you there. I don't want to miss your wedding."

Eleanor still shook her head in refusal. "No."

Bernard said, "Eleanor, for the love I've had for you for ten years, give me a chance."

Eleanor's tears, which she had been holding back, suddenly rushed out. "Bernard, please, stop pushing me."

He stretched out his slender fingers, wiping the tears from her face, saying to her, "You were right not to choose me. I always make you cry."

With the pads of his fingers, he gently stroked her face over and over again. "Eleanor, I'm sorry. That five years with me have been hard on you."

Eleanor covered her face with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

She never thought the once superior Bernard would apologize to her again and again.

Again and again, he broke through her defenses, making her cry uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this, Bernard felt a pain in his heart that made it hard for him to breathe, and he once again pulled her into his arms.

He rested his chin on the top of her head, saying, "Don't cry, just this once. From now on, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

Eleanor curled up in his arms, unable to stop her tears.

He held her, gently patting her back, calming her emotions.

"Mr. Laurence, do you need me to prepare birth control pills for Ms. Shultz?"

Hearing these words, Bernard smirked at his own absurdity. "Look at yourself, Bernard. This is how you treated her. You claimed to love her, yet you had her taking birth control pills. You're not worthy of her love, let alone talking about love. You don't even deserve to say the word love."

Aidyn saw the change in his expression and realized that nothing had happened between him and Ms. Shultz.

He immediately regretted his words and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Laurence."

Bernard seemed unfazed and shook his head. "You can leave now."

Aidyn responded with a quick "Yes," left the bag, and swiftly exited the room.

Bernard took out the white dress from the bag and went back to the bedroom.
