A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098 

“I can’t sing” 

How could the usually quiet and reserved guy possibly sing? 

Eleanor opened her groggy eyes and gave him a sidelong glance 

“I thought you could do anything” 

That line sounded familiar to Bernard, but he couldn’t place where he heard it. 

He didn’t dwell on it, instead pulling out his phone to quickly download a music app. 

After it was installed, he cradled Eleanor in one arm and scrolled through the recommended playlists with the other 

“What song do you want to hear?” 

“As long as you’re singing it, I’m all ears.” 

Bernard was silent for a few seconds before randomly picking an English song 

Luckily, he had a photographic memory and only needed to listen once to remember the melody. 

Uncertain, he lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms before he started singing 

“You sure about this?” 

Eleanor nodded, indicating that she was willing to watch him try. 

Bernard scowled, reluctantly and indulgently beginning to sing 

About five seconds into his performance, Aidyn in the front seat suddenly put up the partition. 

“Mr. Laurence, I didn’t expect your singing skills to be worse than mine.” 

The drowsy Eleanor, hearing this, collapsed onto his shoulder, unable to suppress her laughter. 

Seeing Eleanor’s smile, Bernard didn’t take issue with Aidyn’s comment, just looking at the partition and saying. “You give it a shot.” 

Aldyn, not sure if it was because Mr. Laurence was in a better mood or for some other reason, started singing despite his usual seriousness. 

Eleanor, hearing his raspy voice, burst out laughing again. Even the stoic Bernard cracked a smile. 

“Aidyn, you’re no better than me.” 

Aidyn wasn’t really trying to showcase his singing skills, just trying to lighten the mood for Mr. Laurence and his wife. 

But that didn’t matter. What mattered was that they were all having a good time. 

Aidyn drove them to Signd’s apartment. 

After they got upstairs, Hailey brewed some coffee and prepared some snacks 

Sigrid sought out Eleanor to inquire about Jason. 

After getting the gist of the situation, she started to analyse it logically 

‘Depressed people are terrified of being alone, what they need most is company. If Jason‘ depression stems from you, then being with him and encouraging him is the best way to help him out of his predicament” 

“But if he doesnt want you around, it means he hasn’t let go of you. If you’re around, he’ll definitely seize the chance to get out of the him deeper. If you’re not there, he’ll be mired in the past, trapped in a conundrum.” 

funk. But his love for you will only drag 

“However, considering him as a brother to cut off his longing for you is the right move. The only way to help him out of his predicament is to make him let go of you, to erase you from his heart, just like I forced myself not to love, in order to completely break free from depression” 

They all suffer from psychological disorders because they can’t let go of their past love. Only when they can move on, can they get out of this bind Otherwise, they’ll be stuck in this painful state, unable to extricate themselves and may even consider suicide as an escape. This is a disease that controls both the mind and the body, and it’s difficult to heal. 

Eleanor understood this, so she wanted to alleviate Garett’s loneliness by being with him and helping him out of this bind. Sigrid was right. This is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Garett still needs to let go of the past from the bottom of his heart.
