A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 337

Bernard didn't say a word, not seeming in the mood to chat with Garett.

Yet, Garett just smirked, unruffled, and chuckled, "When we were kids, we sure had it tough. As I got older, I thought to myself, when I can stand on my own two feet, I'll marry her and make sure she doesn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life..."

He paused, seemingly lost in the past, "You know, she's asked me a million times when I was going to marry her. I always told her to wait, just wait, until I realized, some people you can’t just keep them waiting..."

Bernard glanced at him, "Well, you got your wish."

The smile on Garett's lips, deep yet bitter, "Yeah, I did..."

Bernard said, "Congrats."

As he was about to leave, Garett stopped him, "I won't be taking this acquisition contract. You can have it back."

Bernard froze, turned back and said, "It wasn't for you."

Garett laughed, "I know."

Saving him, taking care of him, protecting him and now handing over The Clowers Group to him, all these, it's all for Eleanor.

It's enough to prove how much he loves Eleanor, but there's one thing Garett doesn't quite get...

He looked Bernard up and down, a puzzled look on his face, "If you loved her so much, why did you abandon her?"

Bernard's face turned pale, "That's none of your business."

Garett didn't push it, he just handed back the contract, "Mr. Laurence, thank you, but I don't want to owe you any favor."

He slowly opened the box, took out the diamond ring inside, and said, "This diamond ring, I prepared it for her eight years ago. It's not very expensive, but it was bought with the scholarship money I earned from endless nights of research and countless experiments..."

After regaining his memory, he remembered taking this diamond ring back to The Clowers family when he returned. He had it retrieved a few days ago.

It was supposed to be a wedding gift for Eleanor, but now...

He gave a tiny smile.

Then he slowly turned to Bernard, "You probably don't know what happened between me and her the night of the car accident, do you?"

Bernard looked down on him, coldly, "I'm not interested in your past together."

Even though he knew Bernard wasn't interested, Garett continued to tell the story of their past.
