Chapter 321
Aidyn knew Bernard had heard him, he just wasn’t ready to accept the truth.
He looked at Bernard sympathetically. “Mr. Laurence, you set this whole thing up when you handed Ms. Shultz over to Jason in the first place. It was all downhill from there.”
Bernard held his bank card tightly, snapping it in half.
“Mr. Laurence…”
Aidyn’s face was full of concern as he watched the trembling man.
“Get the car ready!”
Aidyn paused for a moment before responding, “Alright.” He quickly made his exit.
Inside the fitting room of the bridal shop, Eleanor turned around in her lacy wedding dress. She expected to see Hailey, but to her surprise, it was Bernard standing there…
He wore a black suit and stared at her.
Eleanor felt a bit scared by the look in his eyes. She quickly gathered up the hem of her dress and tried to find Hailey.
However, as she tried to pass him, he suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the fitting room.
As the curtain fell shut, he pinned her against the wall.
He looked down at her wedding dress, a sarcastic smile showing at the corners of his mouth.
“Congrats, you’re finally marrying the man you love…”
Eleanor struggled, but he held her firmly against the wall.
All she could do was look at Bernard, “You said you wouldn’t bother me anymore…”
Bernard’s icy face was full of sarcasm, “You also said you were just taking care of him. Now you’re marrying him. I wouldn’t be running around like a madman if you weren’t getting married.”
After his sarcastic rant, he reached up to touch her face, his eyes filled with deep affection and regret, “You know how much I love you, and yet you’re marrying him. Where does that leave me?”
Eleanor turned her head to avoid his touch, “Mr. Laurence, don’t touch me. It’s inappropriate…”
Her tone was cold, her actions firm, as if she were dealing with a stranger.
His broken heart was completely torn apart at that moment.
Suddenly, he lost control. He picked her up and quickly walked out of the fitting room, heading straight for the exit of the bridal shop.
Eleanor struggled in his arms, trying to get down, but he held her tightly by the waist, not letting her move.
She said coldly. “Bernard, what the hell are you doing?”
The man’s face was void of emotion, his rage seemed to have consumed all his reason.

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...
