A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 592

Silently, they arrived at Eleaber Hall.

Garrett, sitting in a wheelchair, stared blankly ahead. "I once wanted to build a place like this."

For Eleanor. A place that belonged to them. A place named after them.

Garrett's lips curled into a bitter smile that spread to his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Seeing the once robust and energetic boy now so thin and frail, Hailey's heart ached. "Garrett, have you been having a hard time lately?"

"I'm doing fine."

Colter, pushing the wheelchair from behind, frowned. "Mr. Clowers, how can you say you're fine when you're clearly..."

Garrett's face darkened. "Shut up!"

Unable to voice his heartache, Colter fell silent.

Seeing them like this, Hailey understood. Without Eleanor, every day must be like a year for Garrett.

After all, he loved Eleanor so much, but they ultimately missed each other.

Colter pushed Garrett into Eleaber Hall. The dazzling starry sky and colorful auroras inside made his eyes well up again.

He pushed the wheelchair alone to the center of the clouds and the galaxy. "Bernard proposed to Eleanor here, didn't he?"

"How'd you know?"

Garrett gave a slight smile, ignoring Hailey's question. Because if he were to propose, he would kneel here, too.

In the center of the universe, the most important and most beautiful place, kneeling before the one you love and asking her to marry you—how perfect!

After a while, Garrett lowered his gaze to the pink roses covering the floor.

He remembered that Eleanor used to like red roses. Did she now prefer pink ones?

What right did he have to reminisce? He was the one who kept her waiting.

She'd asked him many times, "Garrett, when are you going to marry me? When will you give me a home?"

He always used the excuse of giving her a better future and never proposed. He never realized that what Eleanor wanted wasn't a wealthy life.

What she'd always wanted was wholehearted love and a home filled with love.

Realizing this now, Garrett's face turned pale, and he slumped in his wheelchair.

He covered his eyes regretfully.

"Hailey, don't tell her I was here."

Eleanor had found a man who could give her a home, a man willing to give his life for her.

Garret was just the boy from the past who'd kept her waiting. Let him stay in the past forever.
