A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 

Bernard, tall and wellbuilt, suddenly froze

His gaze was icy, as if it could freeze someone on the spot

After staring at her for a while, he quickly pulled out his hand, tore off a dozen tissues and frantically wiped his fingers

Seeing his actions, Eleanor couldn’t help but giggle, Mr. Caporal already told you that we had been intimate before, why did you still have to check for yourself?

She had a smile in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth, showing no signs of embarrassment or anger, but rather an enchanting 

aura

Her nonchalant attitude and repeated provocations finally set off the usually wellmannered Bernard

He threw away the torn tissue in his hand and tightly pinched her chin

He used all his strength, and Eleanor’s chin immediately turned red

Eleanor’s face turned pale from pain, while Bernard ignored her expressions and got even closer to her face

Didn’t I tell you that I don’t allow anyone to touch things that I have used?” 

His eyes were fierce, and his grip on her chin tightened, as if wanting to crush it

This was the first time that Eleanor had seen Bernard so angry, and she was slightly taken aback

It wasn’t that she deliberately provoked him, but his repeated insults led her to fight back this way

But she didn’t expect him to get this mad. Wasn’t he supposed to not care about her? Why was he so angry

Enduring the pain, Eleanor locked eyes with him and mustered the courage to ask, Does it actually matter to you whether I’ve been involved with someone else? Does that mean you have feelings for me?” 

Having spent five years with Bernard, she had never witnessed him lose his composure like this. Could it be that he had some level of affection for her, even if it was minimal

With this glimmer of hope in her heart, she stared at him intently, searching for any hint of warmth in his eyes

Yet, all she encountered was emptiness, accompanied by disgust and contempt

Do you not understand what truly matters to me?Bernard retorted coldly, extinguishing the flicker of light in Eleanor’s eyes

Of course, she knew what Bernard cared about; she just couldn’t accept it

When you love someone for a long time, you always want some return, even the slightest bit

But Bernard was different from ordinary people; he had an obsession with cleanliness

It would be difficult for someone with this kind of obsession to accept that something they used to touch had been touched by someone else

He was so angry simply because he found it dirty

Eleanor forced a selfmocking smile, I guess I just assumed that 

you 

liked me

But” 

She paused and continued with a smile, I asked you before if I could have a boyfriend, and you said I could do whatever I wanted. If I have a boyfriend, it’s normal for him to have sex with me, isn’t it? You’re not going to forbid him, are you?” 

Bernard’s expression faltered, his face even colder

Seeing him speechless, Eleanor suddenly mustered the courage to touch his face, from his eyebrows to his cheeks, gently and carefully

This was the man she had loved for five long years. How could she bear to hurt him

But he didn’t love her, not even a little bit. Why couldn’t she just let go

As she stared at him, Bernard suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly

Don’t touch me!” 

་ 

He said coldly, You’re impure!

Although she knew he would react this way, hearing him say again that she was impure still hurt her deeply

Biting her lip and holding back her emotions, she glanced at the hand that was still tightly holding onto her wrist
