A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 

Jason stole a glance at Eleanor, who had already averted her gaze. A wave of pain surged through his body, causing him to stagger. “You’re being so heartless to me because you’ve fallen in love with Bernard, is that it?” he uttered, his voice filled with agony. “Eleanor, I’ve loved you for half of my life. How could you do this to me?!” His words were a mix of desperation and disbelief. 

Suddenly, resentment flooded Jason’s eyes, directed both at Eleanor’s cruelty and her affection for someone else. 

Eleanor looked at Jason, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth, “Yes, I fell in love with him. You know what I’m like when I love someone. Since I love him, I won’t show mercy to anyone else. Can you please just let me go?” 

Upon hearing this, Jason felt cold all over, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Filled with fury, he rushed to Eleanor, grabbed her chin, and kissed her forcefully. 

His kiss was forceful and possessive, reminiscent of their past encounters. However, whereas Eleanor would have reciprocated in the past, now she remained unresponsive. Jason reluctantly released her, observing the icy coldness and disdain reflected in her eyes. His heart turned to ice. 

“Eleanor, you will regret this…” he muttered, leaving her with those words. Leaning against the wall for support, he stumbled away, his figure displaying the aftermath of severe emotional wounds. 

As she watched Jason’s broken form retreat, tears welled up in Eleanor’s eyes, a mixture of sorrow and regret. 

Seeing her like this, Hailey was puzzled. If she couldn’t let go, why was she treating Jason this way? 

“Eleanor, are you still holding a grudge for when he kicked you?” 

Eleanor shook her head, “I’m not mad at him anymore. He didn’t do that.” 

Without waiting for Hailey’s next question, Eleanor told her about Jason having an identical twin brother, 

Hailey’s heartache was eased, as her longstanding grudges also faded. 

It turned out that Jason’s elder brother was the one who hurt Eleanor. Garett’s amnesia was real, and he hadn’t lied to them. 

It seemed she didn’t care for Garett in vain. However… 

Her eyes filled with doubt as she questioned, “So why are you still treating him like this?” 

Eleanor took–a–deep breath, preparing to disclose her late–stage cancer to Hailey. However, before she could utter a word, a call interrupted her. 

“Eleanor, hold on a moment, Austin is calling. Let me answer it.” 

Eleanor had no choice but to remain silent. When Hailey ended the call, her expression revealed concern, prompting Eleanor to inquire, “What happened?” 

“Austin said there was an emergency back home, and he needs to return.” Hailey, known for her honesty, shared the truth with Eleanor. 

Without hesitation, Eleanor swiftly responded, “Then don’t stay with me. Go with him to assess the situation.” 

However, Hailey surprised Eleanor by choosing to sit down beside her bed instead of hastily leaving.
