A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249
Ms. Vulpe had once said that she always felt like she was just a substitute for him.
Did Eleanor think that he’d been falling in love with another woman all this time?
Bernard opened his mouth and told her, “Eleanor, it’s always been you, never anyone else.” Three years have passed, and his explanation came too late – Eleanor just didn’t believe it.
Her calm and emotionless gaze made Bernard’s heart ache.
Hugging her arm, he unconsciously tightened his grip.
It was as if he didn’t hold her tight enough, she might leave at any moment.
He had already experienced losing her once and couldn’t bear to be apart again.
He hugged her with all his strength, “Eleanor, I’m sorry. Can I have another chance?”
He didn’t even know how to explain the misunderstandings over the years, let alone express the endless longing.
All he could do was lower his head, begging for a chance to cherish her again.
Eleanor’s eyes trembled slightly, but her face remained calm: I’m not Eleanor
Bernard’s body suddenly stiffened, and then he raised his hand to gently hold her chin, turning his head to kiss her.
Eleanor was so angry at this sudden move that she trembled all over trying to push him away but held firmly.
He only intended to have a brief kiss, but once he touched her lips, Bernard couldn’t help himself
He missed her so much that even with her right there, he couldn’t feel her presence
All he could do was hold her face tightly and kissed her intensely, regardless of anything else
Kissing her until her cheeks turned red, he still couldn’t bear to let go but wouldn’t let her leave.
He didn’t even wait for Eleanor to speak, he explained while caressing her soft red lips with his finger, “You see, you always have the same reaction when kiss you. Why won’t you admit it?”
Eleanor’s face turned red with anger, her body trembling: “You’re insane!!”
“Yeah, I’m insane!”
Bernard suddenly lost control, his eyes filled with rage, I’m crazy! Missing you keeps me up at night; I’m crazy loving you so deeply that I can’t save myself. From the moment I fell in love with you. I’ve been crazy!”
How absurd! He was cold to her when they were together, but now he kept saying he loved her?
Eleanor struggled desperately grabbing the arms holding her tightly.
Her nails dug into his skin, blood dripping, but he still wouldn’t let go. He really was insane!
“Bernard!”
She yelled furiously, shaking off Emilia’s disguise and looking at him coldly as Eleanor.
Hearing her call his name, Bernard’s eyes turned red. “You finally admit it.
Eleanor sneered. ‘So what if adm
Bernard was taken aback, looking at her with reddened eyes.
Her expression was cold and emotionless, full of disdain
Seeing such an indifferent Eleanor, he suddenly didn’t know what to do.
As he tried to say something, Eleanor turned her head – the cold lake-like eyes reflecting his pale face.
“Do you really love me, as you just said?”
Bernard felt that she was still willing to communicate with him, so he quickly nodded in agreement “Ten years ago, at the University of A…”
He wanted to tell her that he had liked her a long time ago, but she interrupted him coldly: “Then let me ask you, if you loved me so much, why didn’t you
want when asked you to back then? I begged you to wait until the contract ended before we broke up, but what did you do?”
