A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 

Eleanor clung to Bernard’s arm as they walked into the banquet hall, running smack dab into Tyler, who was coming out

They stopped dead in their tracks. Tyler chuckled at the sight of the pair, his eyes radiating disdain

Ms. Shultz, long time no see 

Ignoring Bemard, he greeted Eleanor, his eyes filled with contempt

Eleanor didn’t respond, just wanted to steer Bernard clear of Tyler. But just as they were about to leave, Tyler snickered 

Ms. Shultz, you certainly look better than the last time I saw you. Marriage seems to suit you.” 

His jibe was so blatant that she had to respond, otherwise it would seem like she’s too submissive

Whether I’m happy or not has nothing to do with you, Dr. Howell.” 

Tyler’s lips curled into a smirk

True, it doesn’t concern me. But I happen to know that your happiness comes at a great cost to someone else.” 

Eleanor felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, and she froze in response to the situation

Bernard noticed her reaction, and he furrowed his brows, thinking carefully before meeting Tyler’s gaze headon

Did Garett send you to say this?Bernard questioned Tyler, suspecting someone else might be behind this confrontation

Tyler snorted dismissively. Why would he send me to say such things when he chose to step aside for you?he retorted, indicating that Garett had willingly given way to Bernard

Dressed in a black suit, Bernard remained composed, barely raising an eyebrow. His icy glare exuded a sense of strength and invincibility

Since he didn’t send you, are you standing up for him, or are you suggesting that Garett is narrowminded?Bernard asked with a cool and cutting tone

Tyler was taken aback by the sharp retort. He realized that his actions were not only failing to provoke them but also tarnishing his friend’s reputation

His face fell, and he admitted, I just thought Garett was suffering. I didn’t like it, so I made a few sarcastic remarks. It’s not about 

Garett 

Bernard raised an eyebrow, understanding Tyler’s loyalty to his friend. However, he made it clear, As Garett’s friend, I can see why you would defend him. But his reputation can’t withstand your constant jabs. Next time, don’t use his name to insult my wife.” 

Tyler wanted to say something, but remembering Garett’s warming, he bit his tongue

He said, if you use my situation to hurt Eleanor again, we’re done being friends

Not wanting to lose Garett as a friend, Tyler bit the bullet and walked away

He was only here to see Liana. After that, there was no reason to stick around

Besides, Bernard’s wedding wasn’t worth his time

Once Tyler had left, Bernard squeezed her hand 

You didn’t wrong Garett. Don’t blame yourself.” 

Years ago, she crawled through the pouring rain on a night in search of help to save him

Years later, even though she was in love with Bernard, she still saw Garett as one of the most important people in her life 

Bernard held onto her hand tightly, as if he was grasping onto the love of his life

I understand your guilt, it comes from the legs that were sacrificed for you.” 

He lowered his gaze to meet Eleanor’s clear eyes

Don’t worry, I will heal his legs.” 

Just like how he kicked away the gun in his hands without hesitation years ago, he will heal Jason

Only by healing Garett can his wife’s quilt fully dissipate 

Feeling his determination and strength, the guilt in Eleanor’s eyes gradually receded, replaced by gratitude

My love, thank you” 

Thank you for your tolerance, and for being willing to do everything to help Garett. You saved him, spent money and resources to protect him, avenged his parents, helped him reclaim the Clowers family, and recently, even hired experts to treat his legs. Eleanor
