A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 419

Eleanor gave a slight nod, "You promised me before that we'd call it quits once I found what I lost. I've found it now, so let's end this."

Bernard clenched his teeth. Taking her hand, he disinfected and bandaged her wound.

Eleanor cast a guarded look at Bernard. She was no longer swayed by his tender gestures.

After tending to her wounds, she said to him in a detached manner, "Mr. Laurence, I've already bought my ticket home. I'm leaving the villa today. Thanks for looking after me during this time."

Hearing her resolute words, Bernard's heart was torn apart.

He looked at Eleanor, "In nearly a month, we've made so many memories here in the W City, in this villa. And all you have to say is ‘thank you’?"

Eleanor retorted, "Mr. Laurence, besidesI also gave you my body. Isn't that enough?"

"Eleanor, do you realize what you're saying?"

Although it was him who initiated their relationship, Eleanor had always been willing.

She used the word "gave" to describe their beautiful memories.

Feeling that she might have been too harsh with her words, Eleanor fell silent. But her silence wounded Bernard even more.

He raised his trembling hand, gently brushing Eleanor's face, "I knew you'd leave without hesitation once you found those things. But I didn't expect you to not miss me at all..."

From calling him Bernard to Mr. Laurence, she had become a completely different person in just four days. Bernard simply couldn't accept it.

He asked Eleanor with a puzzled look, "Was all your kindness, all your warmth towards me a lie?"

She stared at the man in front of her, paused, and once again made her decision, "We agreed from the start that this was just a temporary relationship."

Bernard replied, "Eleanor, I don't want a temporary relationship. I want to be with you forever. If you really want to go back to him, it's okay, I'll send you back. But please don't end our relationship..."

He was willing to be her lover, willing to endure the pain of her going back to Garett, just not willing to part with her.

When he chose to let go, he could lock himself at the space agency and force himself to forget her.

But fate had him cross with her again in the W City and even allowed him to have her once more.

At the moment he had her, he knew that without her, he would die, physically and mentally...
