A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1083

Chapter 1083 

Eleanor tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She wondered if it was because she slept in a strange environment. She decided to open her eyes and looked at Bernard, who was lying next to her with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. She reached out to touch his long, eyelashes but he caught her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. 

“If you can’t sleep because you miss Garett, I will punish you; Bernard’s cold voice was filled with jealousy, causing Eleanor to burst into laughter. 

I’m not thinking about him, she replied. 

Bernard slowly opened his eyes. Then what are you thinking about?” 

I’m wondering why the moon is so big and round, it’s keeping me awake, Eleanor teased. 

Bernard followed her gaze to the moon outside the window. He then released Eleanor, got up, and closed the curtains, turning off the night lamp. 

“Now you can’t see anything Go to sleep, tomorrow we have to meet Garett,” he said, his tone somewhat displeased and even stiff. 

In the darkness, Eleanor stole a glance at him. Just as she finished, his arm reached out, startling her. 

“Rest your head here,” he said calmly. 

Whenever she couldn’t sleep, Eleanor liked to rest her head on his arm, lie in his embrace, and place her legs over his waist. This position always helped her drift off to sleep quickly. 

Bernard knew about her habit and always indulged her. 

Many times, even though his arm was numb, he wouldn’t move, being considerate. 

Eleanor leaned into his arms, smelling the faint scent of cedar on him, and slowly fell asleep. 

In the dark night, Bernard held her quietly, listening to her breathing. Unlike before, he didn’t hear her mention Garett in her dreams. 

He still didn’t know why Eleanor would call out Garett’s name in her dreams. 

Because he didn’t know, he often sat alone at the head of the bed all night, just to see if she would still call out Garett’s name in her dreams. 

He admitted he was a bit petty, every mention of Garett made him uneasy. Like now, knowing they were to meet Garett tomorrow, he felt very irritable. 

Bernard stayed awake all night, and Eleanor too seemed to have something on her mind, waking up after only a few hours of sleep. After getting ready. she greeted Bernard, but he didn’t respond. 

“Bernard, you agreed to this yourself, don’t be so petty now.” 

Bernard was silent for a few seconds, then he took his eyes off his phone screen and looked at Eleanor. 

“Why do you need makeup just for a hospital visit?” Eleanor asked. She had applied some foundation to cover the dark circles under her eyes as she didn’t sleep well last night, but she didn’t intentionally do a full makeup. 

“Remove the makeup, Bernard demanded. 

Eleanor glanced at her wristwatch. “I made plans to meet Hailey at 8 o’clock. We don’t have enough time.” 

Bernard’s cold gaze turned anxious. “Then let’s go another day.” 

Feeling helpless, Eleanor had no choice but to return to the room. As she removed her makeup, she appeared even younger, and Bernard regretted his decision. Wouldn’t her youthful appearance evoke memories of their younger days if she went to meet Garett like this? 

He walked over and untied Eleanor’s high ponytail, then casually tied it into a lower one. He deliberately transformed her image into that of a mature woman, albeit reluctantly, before allowing her to leave. 

As Eleanor stepped outside, Bernard closely watched her retreating figure. Suddenly, he got up and went after her, reaching out to hold her hand.
