A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 596

Upon hearing him still cracking jokes, Eleanor gave up struggling in bewilderment. She turned around and fell onto the bed, burying her head in the soft duvet. She tried to regain some dignity from her embarrassment.

The man standing by the bed had a full grin on his face.

"Eleanor, I was out of line just now. Can I apologize to you?"

"How are you going to apologize?"

Bernard pulled her into his arms, "Can I apologize with my lifetime?"

Eleanor smirked slightly, "Nope. You’ve already promised a lifetime, try again."

The man's lips parted. He was about to speak, when her finger covered his mouth again, "You've used “forever” too. You can't use that again."

Bernard's smile deepened, "Then Eleanor, what do you want me to do?"

"I'll punish you by making you stay with me for the rest of your days."

The man raised an eyebrow, as if to say, isn't that the same thing?

"Alright, whatever you say."

Eleanor finally laughed, "You said you were going to show me something. What is it?"

"I'll show you now."

Eleanor quickly waved her hand, "I do like it. It’s just, don't you think it's a bit of a disturbance at this time?"

Bernard heard another meaning in her words. Fireworks all night was tacky and childish, stop it already.

He had rejected the idea when Cedric suggested it. He kept it after the Laurences persuaded him. It was clear that the Laurences' taste wasn't amazing. His and Eleanor's was much better.

Bernard put Eleanor down, and turned around to make a call. The fireworks outside the window stopped immediately.

Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and looked at the man sitting in front of the sofa, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although his romantic ideas were all from Cedric, he always tried to do things that made her happy. The once aloof and noble man had slowly changed for her. How did this not move her?
