Chapter 1018
“Ms. Shultz, long time no see.”
When Eleanor saw that the person in the car was Gianna, she felt a pang of tension, instinctively.
She looked around to make sure there were no suspicious vehicles tailing her before letting out a sigh of relief.
“Ms. Penrod, last time you and your brother came looking for me, Robin found out. How do you dare come looking for me in public again?”
Gianna removed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of cunning eyes. “I won’t get out of the car, Robin won’t see me, don’t worry.”
After saying this, Gianna picked up a gift box from the co–pilot seat and handed it to Eleanor. “I’ve always felt sorry for the kidnapping incident before. I bought something and hope you can accept it.”
Although it was a long time ago, Eleanor no longer held a grudge. However, for Gianna, she once forced Eleanor to jump into the sea, risking her life. It wasn’t something she could easily forget.
Furthermore, if anything had happened to Eleanor under Gianna’s watch, Bernard would never have let her off the hook. So, Gianna felt fortunate that Eleanor was still alive, and she wanted to personally apologize and express her gratitude.
Eleanor accepted the gift box, saying, “You were also forced by Mr. Penrod. You can’t shoulder all the blame.”
Gianna shook her head, assuming the responsibility, “It was my own decision. I chose the wrong way, so I am to blame.”
Seeing her so self–blaming, Eleanor didn’t say anything more, but opened the gift box in front of her.
Eleanor said to Gianna with a smile, “I really like this gift, you don’t need to apologize for this matter in the future.”
Gianna was infected by her sweet smile, “I’m glad you like it. I hope you and Bernard will always be happy…”
Gianna was proud, and receiving her blessings made Eleanor very happy, “Don’t worry, I will be good with him.”
When it came to feelings, Eleanor thought of Gianna and Evan’s affairs, “By the way, how are you and Evan now, have you confessed to him?”
Gianna blushed as she responded, “Why bring him up…”

Chapter 1018
With the gift box in her arms, Eleanor tilted her head and said, “But you asked me to help you chase him before, so why can’t I mention it now?”
Gianna laughed, “Oh, you still remember that! Well, there’s no need for your help anymore. It’s clear he doesn’t have feelings for me.”
Curious, Eleanor asked, “How do you know?”
Gianna sighed, “There’s a new girl in our company, and she’s even prettier than me. Everyone, including Evan, seems to be attracted to her. Seeing that, I didn’t want to bother him anymore.” “A new girl?” Eleanor wondered, “Why didn’t Bernard mention it?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
