A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044 

During that time, Sigrid was totally at sea, clueless as to why Chase didn’t love her anymore. She kept on him like a dog with a bone, pestering him with the same question. “Do you still love me?” 

Chase insisted that he no longer loved her, but Sigrid refused to accept this. She tried to hurt herself again, yet this time, he didrit shed tears or rush to save her, instead, he packed up his things and left 

He moved out of the house they once shared and relocated to a remote place. It took Sigrid a long time to find him, only to discover he was living with another woman. 

Even so, Sigrid didn’t give up. Like a fool, she walled in the living room, tidying up their room once their business was done. 

At that time, as she was gathering the scattered clothes on the bed, she told herself that as long as she cleaned up, everything would be okay. 

She believed that once Chase grew tired of other women, he would remember her goodness and return to her side. 

That was how she managed to get through, time and again. 

The last straw came when Chase yelled at her, telling her not to be so humble. 

Only then did she pick up the other woman’s clothes, slowly squatting down by the side of the bed 

She remembered that she didn’t cry then, but only asked him one question, “Do you truly no longer love me?” 

When she heard him say that he no longer loved her, she finally woke up. Once some people change their hearts, they truly can’t come back 

Alterwards, she locked herself up, on the one hand, persuading herself to let go, and on the other, hoping that he would come to see her 

In these days, she gradually developed depression 

How did she pull through? 

Through daydreams, self–redemption, and the company of her parents 

That period was so long and painful for her, her heart would ache whenever she thought back on it. 

She told herself, never again would she go through such pain. 

Luckily, as time went on, her pain started to fade 

She realized she had finally put that painful chapter behind her. 

Having moved on, she looked at Chase’s solitary figure and whispered. 

“Chase, let’s clear the air, so you can let go, and I can find peace” 

He had been pursuing her just to clear up the past. After all, breakups often leave loose ends. 

Once those loose ends are tied up, you can find satisfaction and finally let go. Just like her, she had let go of the man she once loved deeply, hadn’t she? 

Chase’s steps slowed to a halt, but he didn’t turn around. His eyes, blurry, were fixed on the shadows cast by the streetlamp. 

“Do you remember, you asked me why I, being so young, was frequently seen in nightclubs?” 

“Mmm, I remember.” 

He was just a senior in high school, but due to his status, he was constantly in and out of all sorts of nightlife spots. 

She was curious, softly asking him multiple times while clinging to his arm, but he never gave her an answer. 

“It was my stepmother who made me go.” 

She was a stepmother, afraid he’d threaten her son’s position, afraid he’d take away his father’s love. So she forced him into nightclubs, tarnishing his image so that his father would leave the inheritance to her son 

“Didn’t you fight back?” 

Chase turned his head and smiled at Sigrid. 

“My grandma was under her control”
