Chapter 141
Jason looked at Eleanor with red eyes and gave her a bitter smile.
“My brother pretended to be me and hurt you just to get you to leave me.”
“I only found out recently about what he did to you five years ago.”
“Sorry, Eleanor, I didn’t protect you enough.”
As Jason said this, he paused, his red eyes filled with guilt.
Eleanor’s heart stopped for a moment, her face pale.
This means that Garett never wanted to abandon her or kill her.
The one who hurt her back then was his brother.
Garett never changed, and she never loved the wrong person.
The resentment in her heart for all these years was finally let go at the moment she realized the truth.
Suddenly she’s no longer confused, no longer sad, nor resentful, only a relief about her past.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a burden had been lifted. When she looked at him again, her eyes showed an unprecedented relaxation.
“We just didn’t have the fate to be together, but now the misunderstandings are all cleared up.”
“Those things are all in the past, you don’t have to apologize for them anymore.”
Her words made Jason even more unbearable.
When she said it was in the past, did it mean she had let go, let go of their past, and let go of him, too?
“You… are you leaving me?”
He trembled as he asked this question.
Eleanor touched her neck, full of Bernard’s hickeys, how could she still be with Garett like this?
Hiding her emotions, she looked at Jason and smiled, “You’ve seen it. I’m not perfect anymore.”
Jason looked at her for a long time, then suddenly wiped the hickeys on her neck with his hand.
“Just get rid of these, it’s no big deal.”
His fingers trembled as he wiped her neck.
Seeing him like this, Eleanor couldn’t help her eyes from tearing up.
Back then, Garett’s possessiveness was so strong.
He would get very angry if she spoke more to other boys.
He really cared about her and couldn’t tolerate anyone touching her.
So when he found out she’d sold herself, he collapsed like that.
Such a man could say that it doesn’t matter after he saw her sleep together with another man.
Was he afraid she wouldn’t want to be with him anymore? But she really couldn’t be with him again, they’d already missed their chance.
Eleanor stopped his movement, “Garett, I’m sorry, but during those five years there wasn’t just one time with him.”
She signed the agreement out of spite and gave herself to Bernard.
Even if they cleared up their misunderstandings now, her betrayal was still a fact.

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...
