Chapter 105
Eleanor blushed and trembled slightly as she lay in Jason’s arms.
She didn’t dare to raise her head, fearing she’d glance at the man inside the car. All she could do was to be a coward, listening to Cedric’s mockery, accusations, and disdain.
Jason noticed her fear and gently patted her on the back, saying, “Don’t be scared.”
After comforting her, he coldly glanced at Cedric.
“Whether Ms. Shultz can walk or not is none of your business, so you better stop making up stories.”
Cedric rolled up his sleeves and wanted to punch Jason after hearing his words.
At that moment, a cold voice came from inside the car.
“Cedric, focus on the important things.”
The voice sounded indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with the man.
Upon hearing this, Cedric calmed down. He pointed at the Rolls Royce in the middle of the road and coldly said, “Move your car quickly. Don’t stand in the way of our proposal”
Proposal? To whom?
Eleanor’s body stiffened, but she still didn’t dare to look back at that car.
Jason was initially polite towards Cedric, but his repeated provocations irritated him. Ignoring Cedric’s words, he stood still, as if to provoke Cedric further.
Seeing this, Cedric’s face suddenly turned cold and said, “Mr. Clowers, my cousin is proposing to Ms. Ratliff, and you dare stand in his way?”
So it was Bernard proposing to Sophie…
Were they getting married?
Eleanor’s face gradually turned pale.
Her whole body felt as if it was being torn apart, and it was difficult to breathe.
She thought she could forget Bernard just like she forgot Garett.
But when she heard he was proposing to Sophie, she couldn’t contain the heartache.
This heartache made her want to rush in front of him, hold him, and prevent him from proposing.
But she knew she had no right to do that, as she had no place in Bernard’s heart.
She was merely Sophie’s substitute, a stand–in for him to vent and control, so she had no right to stop him from marrying his crush.
She clenched her fingers tightly, digging her nails into her palms until they drew blood, and forced herself to calm down.
She and Bernard had already broken up, so his marriage had nothing to do with her. Even if they hadn’t, she had no right to interfere.
Resigned, Eleanor loosened her grip and buried her head deeper into Jason’s chest.
Now, the one she could rely on was actually Garett, who once promised to love her for a lifetime…
She smiled faintly, feeling both pitiful and ridiculous.
Jason wasn’t surprised that Bernard and Sophie were getting married, but he didn’t expect him to propose so quickly.
After some thought, he decided that even though he wasn’t satisfied with Cedric, he shouldn’t affect someone else’s proposal.

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...
