Chapter 1081
They both went through similar experiences of suffering for love, struggling as if in mud or hell, leading to them both suffering from depression. They had wholeheartedly loved, but in the end, their love was not reciprocated.
Sigrid managed to overcome this ordeal, understanding that her wholehearted love for that person was driven by helplessness and lack of choice. But
Jason…
He too had to let go due to circumstances beyond his control, but what was even more cruel was that the person who once deeply loved him and gave everything to him ended up falling in love with someone else after he regained his memory.
Who could accept that the person they had loved passionately for over a decade suddenly turned to someone else?
Sigrid could empathize with Jason’s current despair, which was why she rushed over upon hearing the news. Not for any other reason but because she once faced depression so severe that she contemplated suicide, and she hoped that someone would come to her aid, even if it was just to lend a helping hand.
She had no idea how Jason managed to hold on until now, what belief he used to support himself, but she didn’t want to witness someone afflicted with this illness choosing death.
Eleanor was taken aback by Sigrid’s arrival, but knowing that Sigrid had experienced depression herself, she thought she might be able to help Garett “If you don’t mind, let’s go together, Sigrid said, tilting her head and giving Eleanor a gentle smile. “Helping others shouldn’t be considered a bother”
Having been involved in charity work and assisting many people in desperate situations, Sigrid regarded it simply as doing a good deed.
Her mild and amiable personality made Eleanor quite fond of her.
With the approval of Fiord Roundabout’s hostess and no objections from Bernard, the three women boarded a helicopter
Around 7 pm that evening, the plane landed at Bernard’s private villa. Seeing that it was getting late, Eleanor invited Hailey and Sigrid to stay overnight at her place.
The moment Hailey laid eyes on the stern–looking Bernard, she felt extremely nervous. Sigrid felt the same, and neither of them dared to stay in the same room with Bernard. They quickly decided to leave first.
Sigrid took Hailey to her luxurious apartment nearby, which covered several hundred square meters, decorated in black, white, and grey tones, with numerous wine cabinets, which surprised Hailey.
“The style here doesn’t seem to match you, Hailey commented.
As Sigrid opened a wine cabinet to fetch some wine, she turned to Hailey with a smile and asked, “What style do you think I am?”
Leaning against the bar counter, Hailey sized up Sigrid and replied, “You look gentle and elegant, like a girl–next–door type. I never expected your home to have a business elite style.”
The surrounding decor and furniture were all standard configurations for a business elite style, which gave off a cold and impersonal vibe, far from the warmth one would associate with a home.
With a smile, Sigrid pulled out a bottle of wine and two glasses, handing one to Hailey, “Hailey, give this wine a try.”

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...
