A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 420

Eleanor looked at Bernard with shock, seemingly unable to believe what he just said.

With a frown and disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Bernard, you don't really love me, why would you..."

Bernard cut her off, "Eleanor, do I need to rip my heart out to prove to you that I truly love you?"

Eleanor thought back to the times when he risked everything to save her, to take care of her. Was all those out of love?

But it's also true that once he had her, he became indifferent. After what happened last night, Eleanor felt that he was just in the passionate pursuit phase.

But regardless of what stage he was in, they were not right for each other, there was no need to continue this entanglement.

Eleanor pushed him away, took out two bank cards that he had given her before, and handed them back to Bernard.

"Here, take them back."

Seeing those cards, Bernard's eyes filled with pain instantly, as if his whole body was frozen.

He knelt down on one knee in front of her, even though the gesture was humble, he still looked cold and noble.

He reached out to touch Eleanor's face again, but she dodged his hand before he could touch her.

A desperate smile slowly spread across Bernard's face, "Eleanor, what have I been to you all this time?"

Eleanor coldly stared back at him, "Just a fling, why did you take it so seriously?"

She didn't give him any hope, she looked like the grim reaper straight out of hell.

Bernard's tall body couldn't bear it, started to sink, seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

He propped himself up on the couch with one hand, slightly tilted his head up and looked at the woman in front of him who was unwilling to show him even a shred of pity.

"Just a fling, why so serious..."

He let out a cold laugh, "So...when you were with me, you didn't feel guilty towards Garett at all, because you were just fooling around..."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor laughed, "You're just realizing the truth now, you're so stupid."

Bernard's body started to crumble, he couldn't believe the woman in front of him.

His eyes were filled with pain, his face was pale, his heart was numb from the pain but still bleeding.

Unwilling to accept her indifference, he stared at Eleanor, and shook his head.

"Every time I was with you, I could feel that you loved me, why won't you admit it..."

Eleanor looked up at him, with the harshest words, "When you asked me to say ‘I love you’ in the pool, I didn't, don't you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bernard finally understood why at the most intimate moments, Eleanor never said she loved him.

She never fell in love with him, that's why she couldn't say that.

As he was struggling to accept this, Eleanor calmly asked him again, "Let go of me, I need to catch a flight."

He held her waist, pulled her close to his body, then bit her shoulder hard.

He whispered in Eleanor's ear, "You haven't conceived my child yet, how can you leave..."
