Chapter 1084
The car quickly pulled up under Sigrid’s apartment complex, with Hailey silently waiting by the side. As soon as she saw the car, she rushed forward to open the door.
When she saw that it was Bernard driving and that Eleanor, who sat in the passenger seat, looked like a middle–aged woman in disguise, she swallowed subconsciously
She carefully climbed into the back seat.
Eleanor asked her if Sigrid wasn’t coming
Hailey only replied, “Bringing her along right now might seem inappropriate, so let’s check out the situation first, then she can come before falling silent again
A husband accompanying his wife to meet her first love, what a messed up scenario. Who would dare to say anything?
But overall, the vibe during the entire ride was harmonious, with no conflicts arising.
When the car pulled up in front of the Clowers family mansion, Eleanor’s face gradually turned pale.
Seeing her like this, Hailey remembered that this was the place where Eleanor had once knelt in front of the Clowers family’s door, begging Garett not to abandon her
Familiar memories flooded back, and Eleanor clutched her chest, calming herself down for a while before slowly regaining her normal expression….
Bernard, however, thought she was feeling nervous and scared about seeing Garett, which was why she looked so pale
His hand gripping the steering wheel felt like it was on fire, and he suddenly tightened his grip.
“You have two hours, get out when you’re done examining the patient.”
How is it still being timed”
Whilst reminiscing about the past Eleanor, upon hearing this statement, her delicate eyebrows instantaneously furrowed.
She perceived Bernard to be utterly untrustworthy, despite the initial agreement. He had promised that during the day, she would care for Garett, and in the evening, she could return, but now he unexpectedly wants to impose a time constraint?
Seated in the back, Hailey cast a glance at the displeased countenance of Eleanor, then at the indifferent demeanor of Bernard. To avoid being entangled in the situation, she extended her hand to push the door open.
However, just as she was about to do so, Bernard’s cold voice resonated within the car-“No contact, maintain distance.”
Hailey was startled and immediately withdrew her hand, obediently returning to her seat.
As for Eleanor, she turned her head and glared at Bernard, asking, “Do you have any other demands?”
Assuming that she wanted him to articulate all his requests at once, Bernard lowered his head, earnestly pondering
“How about this then? I will take you there together, and you can supervise on the sidelines. What do you think?”
Sensing her dissatisfaction, Bernard realized he might have overstepped and closed his mouth, not saying anything more.
But before Eleanor got out of the car, Bernard still managed to coldly say, “Don’t get too involved, remember to think about me.”
Eleanor and Hailey remained silent.
The squeaking sound from the steering wheel scared Hailey so much that she quickly jumped out of the car
Eleanor didn’t want to deal with him initially, but she could understand Bernard’s feelings. If he were to meet Sophie Ratliff, she might overthink too.
With that thought, she leaned against the car seat, tumed slightly, and kissed Bernard’s cheek, “Darling, don’t worry, the one I love is you”
These words seemed to have a magical effect, instantly calming Bernard’s anxiety. He lowered his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips, “Mm, I’ll wait for you.”
Eleanor gently stroked his chin, lightly kissing his thin lips before finally stepping out of the car.

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...
