A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 

Eleanor didn’t know what to say when she saw Jason like this. 

She was wearing Bernard’s clothes, which wrapped around her body. 

However, her swollen lips and the love bites on her neck deeply hurt Jason. 

His eyes were red, and his hands were trembling. He wanted to touch those spots that had been touched by another man, but Eleanor dodged him. 

Her subconscious avoidance of him hurt him even more than overhearing the sounds from the room outside the door. 

He took a step back in disbelief, looking at her standing still at the door. 

It was only at this moment that Jason truly understood that those five years were not just about memory loss. 

Only after his brother had impersonated him and kicked her twice did he realize that he had completely lost her. 

His eyes were red and teary, and his vision blurred with tears, making it difficult to see Eleanor’s face. 

He stumbled towards her, taking one difficult step after another until he was in front of her and pulled her into his embrace. 

He held her tightly, using all his strength, as if trying to mold her into his own body. 

But even holding her like this, he couldn’t feel any response from her. 

In the past, Eleanor would smile and wrap her arms around his waist whenever he hugged her. 

Then she would pout in his arms and say, “Garett, can’t you stop working all day and spend some more time with me?” 

She wanted him to spend more time with her, but he was always too busy trying to give her a better future and life to do so. 

By the time he was available, they had missed each other because of a car accident. 

This kind of regret clenched his heart like a tight fist, suffocating him to the point where he couldn’t breathe, even gasping for air didn’t help. 

When the cold liquid slid down her collarbone, Eleanor was startled and wanted to look up, but his large hand gripped her head. 

“Eleanor, don’t look at me…” 

Jason’s last shred of dignity wouldn’t allow her to see his embarrassment. 

Eleanor obediently didn’t move and let him hold her, feeling at a loss. 

Jason was so unusual today, as if he had become a completely different person. 

I’m sorry.” 

He buried his head in her neck, repeating a low apology over and over, 

“It’s my fault. I wasn’t strong enough, and you had to sell yourself to save me. 

“It’s my fault that I couldn’t accept the fact that you sold yourself, I had an emotional breakdown, and hurt you…” 

“I was unwilling to face the past and jumped from a car, causing serious injuries and forgetting you from then on…” 

“I’m sorry, Eleanor, I just remembered now, I’m really sorry… 

Jason’s sincere apology made Eleanor choose to believe him. 

So, the reason for his sudden strangeness was that he had remembered things from the past.
