Chapter 232
He used to be so arrogant and full of himself, never talking to her in such a begging tone.
Eleanor looked up at him…
It’s been three years and he’s lost a lot of weight. He’s also got dark circles under his eyes, like he hasn’t been sleeping well. Although he still looked the same, he seemed completely exhausted, as if he’s had a rough time these past three years.
But what did that have to do with her?
Now, she no longer had any hope for him and just wanted to push him away and stay far from him…
She lowered her gaze and said indifferently. “Sir, my ID is in my car. I can show it to you.”
Her indifferent and confident demeanor made Bernard uneasy: “Eleanor.
Eleanor interrupted him coldly, “You’ve really got the wrong person.”
Bernard shook his head gently and said firmly. 1 never forget your appearance and your scent”
Eleanor took a deep breath, knowing Bernard is stubborn, and decided not to argue with him anymore.
She looked at the time on her phone – it was almost 10 aclock. She had to get back, or Ethan would definitely give her trouble.
Frowning, she said to Bernard, “Think what you want, but I have to go now. My husband is waiting for me.”
Husband?
Bernard’s expression suddenly froze, as if he couldn’t believe she would say the word “husband”.
Eleanor didn’t bother to explain and tapped on the car window, signaling him to unlock the door. ‘Sir, let’s just forget what happened earlier and assume you mistook me for someone else. Please unlock the door and let me out.”
Bernard seemed not to hear her and stared at her with red eyes: “You’re married?”
Eleanor directly nodded and then raised her right hand for him to see.
The dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger stupefied Bernard.
“Y you
am married.”
Her indifferent words made him feel a heartache so intense that he could hardly breathe.
He took a deep breath to alleviate some of the pain and then grabbed her right hand…
Covering her small hand with his big one and hiding the glaring diamond ring, he looked down at her.
“You’ve led to me a few times in the past to push me away. This time, I won’t believe you”
Eleanor’s eyes trembled slightly, as if recalling the past lies, but quickly calmed down.
“Whether you believe it or not, this is an unchangeable fact…
Bernard still didn’t believe her ‘Eleanor, don’t lie to me anymore…
He couldn’t bear it, he was afraid of deception, and even more afraid of losing her again. And he feared that what she said was true. Eleanor was already getting impatient, and her eyes were even colder. “Are you sick? I told you, I’m not that Eleanor you’re talking about!” She pushed him away, trying to reach for the door button but he hugged her waist tightly again, holding her close in his arms. Eleanor got angry, raised her hand, and slapped him again. He didn’t dodge, took it, and then kissed her again.
His kiss was pretty rushed this time, as if trying to make sure she was lying through this
But suddenly, a h or sounded from the opposite car, and the car’s headlights flashed over, lighting up both of their faces.

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...
