Chapter 290
The rain was pouring down, drenching the man from head to toe.
His thick hair and crisp suit were soaked by the relentless downpour. The rainwater ran down his stunning, flawless face and onto his slender neck.
He seemed completely unfazed, walking straight towards his car.
Seeing him return, Liana hurriedly held up an umbrella and walked in front of him, shielding him from the rain.
*Mr. Laurence, I’m so sorry” Liana said.
It was her fault for coming to see Ms. Shultz without Mr. Laurence’s permission.
She thought that by explaining everything, Eleanor might consider returning back to Mr. Laurence, but she didn’t expect this outcome.
Raindrops fell from Bernard’s forehead, landing on his thick eyelashes, making him shiver slightly.
He looked at Liana with his cold eyes, “I’m done with her. Don’t ever mention me in front of her again.”
Liana was taken aback, finding it hard to accept this outcome, “Mr. Laurence, Eleanor did love you.”
Bernard smiled faintly, “Liana, the only person she loves is Garett.”
Seeing him like this, Liana frowned, “Mr. Laurence, she just admitted to loving you very much. It’s just that when she tested you, all she got was disappointment. That’s why things turned out this way.”
Bernard’s cold gaze gradually reddened.
He lowered his eyes, looking at his right hand.
When she saw his hand earlier, she cried. It was the first time she had cried for him.
Was this what it meant to have been loved? Why couldn’t he feel anything at all.
He turned his head, looking at the petite figure in the distance. After a long silence, he said to Liana, “Liana, she loves Garett more…”
Maybe she once loved him, but compared to Garett, the one who had hurt her countless times, what did he even mean to her?
Liana tightly gripped the umbrella, anxiously saying, “Mr. Laurence, I think Ms. Shultz’s guilt towards Garett is greater than her love. If you had explained everything earlier, she might not have chosen Garett. But you were too late, and she had already made a promise to take care of him for the rest of her life. If you had explained earlier.”
Bernard hid his reluctance and interrupted her, “Liana, just let it go. Don’t make her feel bad.”
For Eleanor, Garett was more than just a first love. How could she let go of a relationship that had been dependent on each other since childhood?
It was because he knew she couldn’t let go of Garett that he used Garett to threaten her.
In fact, when he took her to see Garett, he knew she would never return to his side. But he still tried to fight for her. After hearing his explanation, she only replied with an apology.
He knew that no matter what he said or how he explained, she would never choose him. And he didn’t have anything good to explain, as he had indeed
hurt her.
Getting her forgiveness now was already the greatest mercy he could expect. How could he hope that she would choose him?
Bernard suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and jumped into the car.

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...
