Chapter 145
Jason had already realized it, but he didn’t expect her to admit it herself.
So, since she didn’t love him anymore, she didn’t care about his feelings either?
Well, he disappeared for five years for that reason, and it’s normal for her to fall in love with someone else.
But why did he feel so terrible…
He covered his chest, feeling terrible, and bend down.
He gasped for breath, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t breathe smoothly.
That suffocating feeling was tightly binding his heart, and he couldn’t break free.
FI
He couldn’t tell if the drops on his forehead were sweat or tears.
In the end, it turned into a sentence, “What should I do then…”
What should he do?
He’s lived his whole life for Eleanor.
Now She’s in love with Bernard, what should he do?
Seeing him like this, guilt flashed in Eleanor’s eyes. “I’m sorry…”
Jason looked up, his eyes reflecting Eleanor’s apologetic face, “I don’t need your apology, I need you, Eleanor. Please don’t love him anymore, and love me again, okay?”
He went to Eleanor and took her cold hand, placing it in his palm. “I’ll treat you well in the future and never let you get hurt. Can we go back to the past, carefree like we were in school?”
Eleanor slowly shook her head. “Garett, we can’t go back to the past…”
Jason didn’t believe her at all. “You’re lying to me, right? If you really love Bernard, you wouldn’t have said such cruel words to him just now. You don’t love him; you only said that because you blame me…”
“I said those cruel words because he doesn’t love me.”
Eleanor calmly interrupted Jason, “He wants to be with me only because I resemble Ms. Ratliff; I’m just a substitute. Now that Ms. Ratliff is back, he’ll marry her soon. So, I have to cut ties with him.”
Another reason was that she’s running out of time, and she didn’t want Bernard to see her ugly appearance before she dies.
She hoped to leave a beautiful impression for Bernard, even if it’s at the end of her journey.
If he could remember her in the future, the memory will be beautiful, not ugly.
Jason looked at her and suddenly laughed bitterly.
If she was just a substitute, why would Bernard still touch her after Sophie Ratliff was back?
And he did it right in front of him – clearly marking his territory.
Maybe it’s because Bernard never confessed his feelings to her, so she didn’t know how crazy that man’s possessiveness is.
But his Eleanor, even if she thought he doesn’t love her, she still fell in love with Bernard. There’s no way for Jason to measure the depth of such love.
his heart ached, but he didn’t know what to do.

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...
