A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 825

"She's already in this state, would Will still want her?"

Liana found it hard to believe.

"Will, I..."

"Liana, are you gonna dump me?"

Liana asked in surprise and caution, "You... you're afraid I might leave you?"

"Yes."

Will lifted his hand to pull Liana into his arms.

"I've known about you and Tyler from the get-go, I've been ready for it. As long as you don't leave me, I won't leave you."

His gentle voice, inching into her ears, slowly warmed up Liana's cold body.

So there was someone in this world who loved her this much...

She stretched her hand to embrace Will, but felt too dirty to do so. As if a single touch would corrupt him.

She slowly retracted her hand.

"Will, I'm not good enough for you anymore, just leave me."

She felt filthy, alive or dead.

She was utterly hopeless.

She was ready to dive into the mud, pick up the sword of hatred and descend into hell with Tyler forever.

"Liana, I just heard you say, as long as you're alive, you'll definitely marry me."

"I lied to Tyler."

"But I took it seriously."

"Liana, from the moment you agreed to marry me, I have regarded you as my wife. And as your husband, don't be afraid to embrace me," he reassured her.

"But..." Liana's voice trailed off, her apprehension lingering.

"No 'buts,' Liana. As long as you trust me, I will always be by your side," he affirmed.

Gradually, the tension in Liana's hand eased, and after a brief moment of hesitation, she summoned the courage to hold him tightly, finding solace and strength in his presence.

Feeling his warmth, a bitter smile appeared on Liana's pale lips, her teary eyes filled with helplessness.

Liana thought, if Tyler didn't exist, she would definitely fall for Will just like she did for Tyler when she was young, hopelessly in love.

But Tyler does exist. His existence was like a thorn between her and Will. Liana was just not good enough for Will.

For the last time, Liana held Will tight, like saying goodbye, then mustered up the courage to push him away.

"Tyler said that every time I'm with you, he will take me away once, he will haunt me like a nightmare for the rest of my life. Will, you're still young, don't waste your time on me. You need to get someone suitable and live a good life."
