Chapter 1089
When Garett saw her, he laughed and said. “You were such a crybaby when you were young, and look at you now, all grown up and still a crybaby”
Even though he was ribbing her, he gently picked up a tissue from the side to wipe her tears.
Mid wipe, he saw the wedding ring on her finger and slowly dropped his hand.
“Eleanor, don’t worry about me. God looks after good people, and I’m sure I’ll outlive most of them
Eleanor dried her own tears, looking at his smiling face, she gave a slight nod
“I have a friend who used to be depressed, but she’s well now Can I bring her over tomorrow, and she can tell you how she got better?”
She knew Garett was stubborn Once he made up his mind, he wouldn’t back down If he wouldn’t agree, she’d just have to find another way
Garett turned down her company, her good intentions. He was too sensitive, too resistant, but he finally agreed
“Ainght I’ll do as you say”
Even if she told him to marry someone else, he wouldn’t hold it against her
Once they got that off their chests, the atmosphere between them lightened.
“Try a different coffee, see if you can taste the difference?”
Eleanor quickly stopped him.
“Spare me, I really don’t know a thing about coffee.”
“If you don’t want to taste coffee, then let’s go see the flower fields.”
“Okay”
Seeing her interest in flowers over coffee, Garett put down his coffee cup with a smile.
He asked Colter to push the wheelchair, but Eleanor beat him to it, grabbing the handles of the wheelchair.
“Let me.”
She pushed Garett toward the garden.
The house was in the middle, surrounded by a sea of flowers.
Eleanor pushed him from the backyard to the front yard.
The golden sun shone through the mottled shadows of the trees, casting a warm light over them, making them look like a loving couple.
Garett seemed a bit unwell, just a little sun was enough to make him look pale.
Eleanor saw the sweat on his forehead and bent over to persuade him.
“Garett, should we go back inside?”
Garett raised his frail finger and gently waved it off.
“I planted a pear tree you love, I haven’t shown you yet.”
His garden was full of flowers Eleanor loved as a child
He used this as a way to remember the past and make up for it.
There were wet wipes in the pocket at the back of the wheelchair. Eleanor hesitated for a second, then took one out.
She was about to hand it to him, but when she touched his frail figure, she slowly retracted her hand.

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...
