Chapter 103
Jason looked at Eleanor, whose face was cold as ice, and he suddenly got the feeling that she was like a hedgehog
As soon as he got close, she would stab him with all her spikes, making him not dare to take another step forward.
Feeling a bit defeated, he said, “I don’t need you to beg me or please me. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.
Eleanor had been prepared for a big fight with him, but she didn’t expect him to say that.
She stared at Jason, who gave her a small smile, which was simple and clean, without any schemes..
It seemed like he was just genuinely concerned about her condition and asked a few more questions about it.
Jason turned around, picked up the plate of food on the table, and handed it to Eleanor, “Eat something first.”
Eleanor didn’t respond, but looked down at the food on the plate, lost in her thoughts.
“Ms. Shultz?”
Jason called her, and Eleanor slowly raised her head to look at him.
Her eyes were filled with tears, showing an incredibly distant expression. Seeing her like this, Jason’s heart suddenly clenched uncontrollably.
It was as if he had done something wrong to her that made him feel extremely guilty and nervous.
He was about to speak, but she cut him off, “If all you care about is my well–being now, then why did you treat me like that five years ago?”
Eleanor had no intention of bringing up the past, but his words just touched her heart. She really couldn’t understand why he had tried to kill her before, but now all he acted as if he cared.
What kind of mindset drove person to say something contradictory like that?
After being silent for a few seconds, Jason’s face showed a hint of guilt.
Five years ago, he had just lost his memory and was unfamiliar with everything. Eleanor came to find him every day, explaining things over and over, which annoyed him. Plus the information he found out about her made him think she had ulterior motives. So, he ordered the security guards to throw her out when she was still kneeling at the door.
It was the worst thing he had done to Eleanor, and he was still somewhat guilty about it.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to have people kick you out on purpose. I just found you annoying, so…”
Jason felt embarrassed to continue. That incident was indeed a bit inappropriate on his part.
Even if Eleanor had ulterior motives at the time, it wasn’t gentlemanly for him to order several men to carry her out.
Eleanor wanted to know why he had tried to kill her, but Jason was talking about something else.
To Eleanor, he probably didn’t want to admit what he had done in the past, which was why he brought up another issue,
Eleanor didn’t ask any further questions. It was pointless to ask someone who didn’t want to take responsibility for their actions.
Her silence confused Jason.
He had apologized to her already when she picked him up at the airport, but she still hated him like before. Now, he apologized again, yet she didn’t have much reaction.
Could it be that the incident she was referring to wasn’t this one?
However, he only did this one thing and wasn’t behind anything else that would hurt her
Jason couldn’t figure it out and wanted to ask more, but Eleanor calmly said, “Mr. Clowers, could you please take me back? Thank you.”

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...
