Chapter 346
“Eleanor, I know what you look like when you’re in love with someone.”
Without any reservations, willing to give everything for the one you love, even your life…”
“So I know very well that when you blocked the sulfuric acid for him, it wasn’t just to repay him, but more because you love him…
Garett stared at the woman he loved, tears slowly streaming down his face.
“The way you love him is just like how you loved me back then. But I lost you like that, and I can never find you again…”
Eleanor wanted to cry, saying, “Garett, I’m sorry, I’m the one who betrayed you first…”
Garett shook his head, not blaming her. “It was me who made you angry, causing the car accident. All of this was my fault.”
He remembered that the car accident eight years ago had already told him that their fate had ended, but he still held onto the past.
Garett thought of this, smiled faintly, and looked at Eleanor. “Eleanor, forgive me for losing my memory for five years. When I remembered, I only remembered our past when we were young, so I kept clinging to it. If I had let go of you and the past earlier, you wouldn’t have to stay with me out of guilt.”
Eleanor looked at him and said, “Garett, I…
Garett shook his head, interrupting her. “Eleanor, you said you wanted to start over with me and fall in love with me again, but actually, it’s just like me no being able to let go of the past. Our friendship of over twenty years is what you can’t let go of. But I know you don’t have love for me anymore…
After saying this, he looked at the men’s suit in the wardrobe. “Now there’s a man who loves you like I do, even more than I do. What reason do I have to hold onto you? And me…”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Having been loved by you is more than enough for me. How can I ask you to keep loving me…
Upon hearing his words, Eleanor couldn’t help but cry, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”
Garett gently ruffled her hair as he did when they were young. “You never owed me anything. We just weren’t meant to be. It’s nobody’s fault…”
Eleanor felt guilty and couldn’t face Garett, burying her head in the pillow, crying uncontrollably.
Garett was afraid she would hurt herself by crying too hard, so he comforted her over and over. “Eleanor, don’t cry, and don’t feel guilty towards me. I’ve let go. So from now on, you should let go too…
Eleanor calmed down a bit, turned her head, her eyes red and swollen, and she looked at him. “Are you leaving?”
Garett nodded, “Eleanor, let Bernard take care of you from now on…”
Eleanor said helplessly, “Garett, are you sure?”

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...
