Chapter 334
Eleanor tried to resist, but Bernard had her in a firm grip, not letting her budge.
Despite her struggle, he held her tight and slowly descended the stairs.
Hailey witnessed the scene, her eyes uncontrollably turned red.
How much courage would it take someone to personally escort the one they love to her wedding?
Bernard, he was deeply in love with Eleanor, but it was all too late now.
He carried her out of the villa, put her in the back seat of the car, then bent down to fix her long dress.
He glanced at the passenger seat, then at the space next to Eleanor, finally choosing to sit beside her.
Aidyn was the driver. Seeing the two of them, he understood Bernard’s intentions and lowered the windshield.
He started the car and headed to the wedding venue, followed by hundreds of cars in an orderly procession.
Eleanor sat in the car, her body cold, shivering uncontrollably.
Bernard noticed this and gently comforted her, “We’re almost there. If you can’t stand seeing me, please hang in there.”
On hearing this, Eleanor’s eyes reddened again. She turned her head to look out the car window, her thoughts so jumbled that everything seemed blurry
Seeing her stop struggling, Bernard smiled. His gaze was full of affection as he studied the woman next to him.
Today, she was in a white wedding dress, with a delicately beautiful makeup, a white veil on her short hair.
She looked beautiful, reminding him of the first time he saw her.
Back then, she was vibrant, always smiling and laughing.
Now, she was still beautiful, but she no longer smiled..
It was because of him that she lost her smile.
Bernard felt a profound sense of sadness.
He couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face.
“Eleanor, when I’m not around, remember to smile more.”
Eleanor stiffened and instinctively turned to look at him, feeling like his words were a goodbye.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Bernard withdrew his hand and turned to look out the window, as if it was just a casual remark.
Both of them were in white wedding attire, each leaning against the window, looking at the scenery outside, as if they were in two different worlds.
The car drove on, the trees gradually receding, and soon they arrived at the wedding venue.
The moment the car stopped, Eleanor wanted to get out of the car without even looking back.
Her fingers barely touched the car lock when Bernard hugged her tightly from behind.
He held her close, his head bowed, whispering in her ear, “Eleanor, I wish you happiness in the future.”
His voice was shaky, but he tried hard to control it, not wanting her to notice.
Eleanor’s heart ached sharply, tears filled her eyes again, she couldn’t help but reply, “I hope you find happiness too.”

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...
