Chapter 108
“Mr. Clowers *
“Out”
Before he could finish his words, Jason scolded him, and Colter had no choice but to shut up and leave the room
There was no point in asking Colter, the only person who knew the truth and forged everything was now dead.
Jason was at a loss for a moment, and then the receptionist came in with a delivery.
“Mr. Clowers, this is a package for you”
Jason frowned when he heard this, “What kind of package?”
The receptionist put the package on the table, “It’s from Ms. Shultz”
Jason saw Eleanor’s name on the sender’s column, and then waved his hand to let the receptionist leave the room.
He opened the package, and his expression suddenly changed when he saw the clothes and shoes inside
Eleanor had actually returned everything he had given her.
Jason’s heart felt heavy, making it difficult for him to breathe.
She didn’t even want the things he gave her, probably because he didn’t believe her words back then, leaving her completely disillusioned. He now believed that what she said was true, but how could he fix their relationship?
Eleanor had probably slept for about ten hours when she was vaguely awakened by the sound of the TV.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw the news about the business alliance between the Laurence Group and the Ratliff Group.
The heir to the largest financial group in A Country, the Lawrence Group, Bernard, will be engaged to the daughter of the Ratliff Group in two months”
The business alliance of the two major groups will bring earth–shaking changes to the A Country market…”
The man on the TV was as elegant and noble as usual, but now he was accompanied by a woman who was holding his arm.
The two announced the engagement news at a dinner party, attended by celebrities from high society.
Eleanor had once fantasized that he would marry her, and, like Sophie, announce to the world that she was his fiancée.
But fantasies were just fantasies, and in this life, she was destined to get nothing, not even a bit of pity from him.
She thought it was good that they were getting engaged, so she could finally let go of her thoughts and die without expectations.
She seemed to have an epiphany, and smiled.
Eleanor struggled to move her body, sat up from the sofa, and glanced at her swollen leg. Her leg was still swollen, normally it would go down after taking the medicine, but this time there was no response.
She sighed, took out the medicine bottle, and poured more than ten pills into her hand. She increased the dosage because she didn’t want Hailey to see her weak and haggard look when she returned from her honeymoon.
These days Eleanor had been taking the medication on time at home, her leg had recovered a bit, and she could walk. While it was still a bit swollen, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.
It was just that she’d been taking too much medicine, making her very sleepy.
If Hailey hadn’t returned from her honeymoon, Eleanor wouldn’t have wanted to get out of bed.
Hailey sent her a message, saying she brought back some special products from Coconut Island and asked her to come downstairs to help carry them
Eleanor replied on WhatsApp, “What kind of special product did you get? Is it something big and heavy?”
Hailey replied quickly, “No, it’s just a bit too many, hurry up and help me!”
Eleanor replied with an okay and was about to turn off her phone and go downstairs when she suddenly received a WhatsApp message.
It was from Mr. Law. Since she replied “Talk later” to him, he hadn’t messaged her again.
She thought he lost interest in her after two times of tease and didn’t plan to contact her again.
Unexpectedly, he really waited a few days before contacting her.
Eleanor saw the message saying “Come to Midnight Bar” and was a bit startled. Although she was usually very obedient, her body couldn’t take his forment any longer.

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...
