Chapter 234
The stick hit really felt like a wham on Eleanor, scaring her to step back. Accidentally, she stepped on a rock.
Almost falling, a slender hand behind her caught her waist and steadied her just in time.
She looked back and saw Bemard’s cold gaze on Ethan, making her jittery.
Bernard’s status was something Ethan probably wouldn’t want to mess with She quickly broke free from Bernard and, gathering her courage, took Ethan’s hand.
*…Honey, stop hitting, let’s go home. ”
Honey?
Ethan put away the stick, giving her an unhappy side–eye, as if saying, “What the hell are you babbling about?”
At this point, Eleanor couldn’t care less. Grasping his arm, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, “Just play along”
Ethan, however, uncooperatively replied. “You got yourself into this trouble, figure it out on your own”
Eleanor, growing anxious, whispered, “If he takes me away, it’s like taking away my sister’s heart.”
Ethan had no way
He put down the baseball bat, finally compromising. “Let’s go.”
Seeing him cooperate, Eleanor held his arm tightly and turned to leave.
“Don’t go!”
A cold voice made Ethan stop in his tracks.
Eleanor tugged at his arm, telling him, “Just ignore him”
But Ethan didn’t want to leave anymore. He turned around and spun the baseball bat in his hand, then looked at Bernard with a raised chin.
“You hurt my wife, I let it slide, and you’re still riding high. Who the hell do you think you are?”
Bernard didn’t take Ethan seriously at all. He walked up to Eleanor and extended his hand. “Come with me.”
Before Eleanor could refuse, Ethan suddenly embraced her by the shoulders, pressing her to his chest, and challenged Bernard, ‘On what grounds?” Seeing her holding Ethans arm and him holding her shoulders, both tightly pressed together, Bernard was suddenly filled with rage.
“Because I love her!”
His voice trembled but still rang clear and bright. It seemed as if the eight years of restraint had erupted at this moment.
Seeing the look in Bernard’s eyes, Ethan seemed to realize something. He lowered his head to look at Eleanor, who he was holding.
The woman in his arms showed no emotion, as if she had just heard a joke. She smirked and shrugged it off.
Ethan did not let her go. Instead, he held his head high and told Bernard, “You’re too late, she’s already married to me”
Was he too late?
Bernard sneered and yanked Eleanor away.
Pressing her shoulder, he looked down at her, “Eleanor, I’ve loved you for eight years. Can you stop punishing me like this..?”
She could hit him, curse him, hate him, and never forgive him. Anything but using another man to provoke him. He couldn’t take)

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...
