Chapter 1033
After scoping out Robin, Bernard put down his binoculars and pulled the curtains
Eleanor was sitting at the vanity, massaging aromatic oils into her hair.
Seeing her so quiet and obedient, Bernard couldn’t help but walk over and pull her into a hug
“Baby, you’re mine and mine alone Nobody else should get any ideas
Eleanor found his sudden declaration amusing
“I’m already married, who would be making moves?”
Clearly, she had no clue
Bernard, being a bit of a rascal, had no intention of telling Eleanor.
He simply lifted her chin and planted a kiss on her lips
“Babe, you been feeling anything lately?”
“What do you mean?”
Bernard’s hand brushed across her belly
The mere mention of this dampened Eleanor’s mood.
“Still no changes”
She was starting to fear that she might be infertile.
Even the medication Mr. Keith prescribed seems to have no effect.
“It must be that I haven’t done enough.”
He hasn’t done enough?
He’s been trying day and night, practically gluing himself to her side, but……..
“Why are you suddenly asking about kids?”
He never cared about kids, always advising her not to have them. Tonight though, he brought it up out of the blue. Strange.
Without answering. Bernard scooped her up and headed for the bedroom….
At four in the afternoon the next day, Eleanor got a call from Hailey. Apparently, Yeager’s mother tried to kill herself.
Eleanor was taken aback. “Why would she suddenly try to kill herself? What happened?”
With a sigh, Hailey explained, “She doesn’t approve of us, so she pulled this stunt to split us up.”
Last time they met, she seemed all caring, asking when they were getting married. Now, not long after, this happened.
Upon hearing the news, Eleanor frowned. “She’s okay, right?”
With a helpless tone, Hailey said, ‘She didn’t cut deep, seems like she was just putting on a show”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor’s impression of Yeager’s mother took a further hit.
But she didn’t really care about Yeager’s mother. Her concern was for Hailey. “What did Yeager say?”
Leaning against the hospital wall, Hailey looked back at the ward. “He’s been with his mom the whole time, hasn’t had a chance to talk to me yet.”
After a few seconds of silence, Eleanor sighed, “What are you going to do about this?”
After some thought, Hailey replied, “What can I do? If she chooses to act this way, I’ll have to respect her wishes. I can’t just let her dre”
Truth be told, Yeager’s mother’s actions had given Hailey a sense of relief.
No one knew that when she threatened to split them up by killing herself, Hailey actually felt relieved.
She wanted to agree right then, but seeing Yeager gripping her hand tightly, refusing to break up, she swallowed her words…
She felt torn and wanted Eleanor’s opinion, “I actually want to break up, but seeing Yeager like that, I feel guilty.”

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...
