Chapter 1260
Whenever she heard the word “leave”, Eleanor’s heart would pound, “Where are you going?”
Bernard’s fingers gently brushed her face, revealing a hint of reluctance, “I’ll tell you after I get back to the country.”
There were others in the car, so Bernard couldn’t disclose the specific location. Eleanor guessed it might have something to do with the Siren Organization, so she didn’t press further. She just sat up from his embrace and sat silently by his side.
Since they got married, Eleanor rarely was this quiet. This was a first. Just because he was leaving, she put on a protective color as if he was about to abandon her. Seeing Eleanor’s reaction, Bernard felt a little uneasy. He couldn’t help but reach out and tug at her clothes, “Eleanor…”
Eleanor didn’t respond, she turned her head to look out of the car window, her heart full of fear. Although she didn’t know what the mission of the Siren Organization was, she understood that overly confidential matters often came with danger.
She deeply loved Bernard and couldn’t bear to lose him. She hoped he could leave the Siren Organization and stay by her side forever. But she also knew that Bemard was the leader of the Siren Organization, he couldn’t leave and couldn’t stay with her forever.
Eleanor’s silence made Bernard worried, “Eleanor, I…”
Eleanor turned her head and cut him off, ‘Let’s talk about it when we get home.”
That was all she said, then she turned her gaze back to the window.
Seeing her cold profile, Bernard sudden lidn’t dare to get closer.
They rode in silence until they arrived at the airport.
Even when they boarded the plane, Bernard wanted
to
hold her, but Eleanor didn’t agree.
Bernard could only pull back his hand, sit by her side, and silently watch Eleanor’s back.
She must have felt that he was going to do something dangerous, didn’t want him to go, but knew he had to. She couldn’t stop him, she could only choose to be angry at him.
Understanding her thoughts, Bernard, regardless of whether she was angry, directly reached out and held her tightly.
His warm chest against her back, the coldness of her skin replaced by his warmth, slowly warming her heart. Eleanor turned around, tightly hugged Bernard’s waist, and buried her face in his, chest.
–They didn’t talk about it on the plane, just silently holding each other, like a pair of lovers about to face life and death.
By the time they got home, it was already late at night. They walked into the room, one in front, one behind, no one said a word.
Finally, Eleanor turned to look at Bernard, “When are you leaving?”
Bernard hid the sadness on his face, walked up to her and held her, “In ten days.”
He had already set a date, meaning he was ready, but only told her now.
Eleanor was a bit angry, “How long will you be gone?”
Bernard answered softly, “A month.”
He only gave himself a month, and would only let Eleanor wait for a month.
Eleanor lowered her head, thinking about what life would be like without Bernard for a month?
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t understand because he was still here and they had never been apart since they got married.

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...
