A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313 

She slowly raised her eyes, looking at the man who handed her the papers, who remained silent all this while. She stared at him, her lips parting as if to say something, but her words got stuck in her throat, choked by sobs. 

Moisture welled up in her eyes, spreading, gradually forming into teardrops, cascading down her cheeks, hot and scalding. They dripped onto the divorce papers, soaking the paper and also Bernard’s eyes. 

He could hardly bear to look at Eleanor. After putting the papers into her hands, he quickly turned his back. His voice trembled, but the coldness in it masked everything else. “Sign it.” 

Eleanor gently tilted her head, looking at the tall figure who had once shielded her from everything. In the end, she loved him. She didn’t say the spiteful words that were on the tip of her tongue. Instead, she reached out her hand, catching his sleeve, making him turn back. 

When he turned to face her again, she pointed at the screen on the Life Door, her words coming out in a rush, “You told me to leave earlier, but I’ve been waiting here, waiting for the right time to walk out. When it’s time, I’ll leave immediately and never come back. Can you please not divorce me?” 

She knew that Bernard was always rushing her, always trying to protect her from danger. So, she decided to stop arguing, to listen to him, to stay in the Life Door. It was because the Life Door of the ninth round stayed open, so she didn’t leave. But did he really have to do this? 

Eleanor looked at Bernard, her eyes filled with unshed tears, “Years ago, you divorced me because of an unavoidable circumstance. Now I know, you have your reasons for forcing me away. I will leave, but why can’t you just explain things to me? Why do you have to force me like this?” 

From the moment he became Mr. Law, she knew nothing about him. It was only when he was in danger, and she kept asking him, that he revealed some information. She understood that the leader of S had to be cautious, and she understood that Bernard didn’t want her to take risks. But shouldn’t a husband and wife share everything? Why was he always hiding things from her and making decisions for her? 

Bernard opened his mouth, wanting to explain something to her, but a sudden pain shot through his head, and his face turned deathly pale. At the same time, Eleanor saw Sophie, who wore the number Ace-Inviter-2-7 on her clothes, walking up to Bernard in her high heels, naturally linking her arm with his. “Bernard, has she signed it?” 

The words Eleanor wanted to say got stuck in her throat. She didn’t even look at Sophie, she just stared at Bernard, waiting for him to push Sophie away. Because her husband/wouldn’t let other women touch him. 

After about 30 seconds of waiting, Bernard didn’t push Sophie away. Eleanor felt a pang of disappointment. She lowered her eyes, looking at her belly, which should have shown signs of pregnancy, but didn’t due to her skinny figure. “I won’t sign. Are you using her to provoke me?” 

Sophie let out a derisive laugh, “Ms. Shultz, can’t you see? Bernard doesn’t want you anymore. That’s why he’s divorcing you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back for you after sending you into the Life Door…”
