A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 

Veronica checked out her freshly done nails, and said to Cedric, “Don’t sweat about your sister’s wedding. But yours, man, is going to be a tough cookie. Your reputation isn’t that good, you know. Lots of high–society familia won’t want their daughters marry you.” 

Cedric thought to himself, he wasn’t exactly itching to tie the knot either, but he just said, “No rush then.” 

Veronica knew he was still enjoying the single life, so she decided to leave him be. She turned her attention back to Bernard, asking. “What about you?” 

Bemard, who had been staring out the car window the whole time, responded to Veronica’s question with a simple, “Don’t bother about 

me” 

Veronica, a bit frustrated, said, “Bernard, you can’t stay single forever just because of her, can you?” 

She only found out about Bernard’s situation when she came back to the country this year. 

She never thought Bernard would try to kill himself over a woman. 

She wasn’t fully aware of the details, only that Bernard was responsible for the woman’s death. 

Even though the young lady was saved in the end, she had technically died once. How could she ever take him back after that? 

It was pretty clear that he and Ms. Shultz were just not meant to be. He couldn’t force these things, right? 

But Bernard was stubborn as a mule, no matter how much she try to talk sense into him, it just goes in one ear and out the other. 

But as the head of the Laurence family, he couldn’t stay a bachelor forever, could he? 

Hearing this, Bernard felt a pang in his heart. 

He looked down at his right hand, reminded of the despair on her face as she fell to the ground. He had hurt her so badly, and now he had to spend the rest of his life making up for it. How could he just move on and marry someone else? 

They just didn’t get it. They thought if he couldn’t have something, he should just give up and start anew. 

But wasn’t love about being devoted to one person, through thick and thin, till death do them part? 

He used to think love was about possession. It wasn’t until Jason told him that love wasn’t about holding on, but letting go, that he finally understood what love really was. 

But choosing to let go didn’t mean giving her up. Whether she was alive or not, he would always love her. 

His wife could only be her, even if she didn’t want to marry him. In his heart, his wife could only be her. 

His silence made Cedric feel a bit sorry for him. He couldn’t help but speak up, “Sis, let’s just leave him be.”
