Chapter 378
His voice had a certain charm to it, almost like he was purposely trying to seduce her
But Eleanor didn’t even bat an eyelid, shaking her head gently at him
“This has nothing to do with her”
She had made it clear in the hospital that she was rejecting him because loving him was just too exhausting.
Over the years, there was never any real give and take between them, just a constant game of doubts and suspicions.
Even though all of these were due to misunderstandings, the pain and despair she experienced were real
That painful past made her afraid of love and scared to love again
Bernard tried to find a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but there was none. It didn’t seem like it was because of Teresa
He pulled away slightly, his eyes full of disappointment. Seems like you couldn’t care less who I’m with.”
Eleanor glanced at him, gathering her courage to confess, “I used to care”
The word “used to made Bernard realize that the gap between them was due to the passage of time
But time can’t be rewound, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn’t go back.
The disappointment in Bernard’s eyes slowly turned into sadness, his handsome face turning pale.
He withdrew his hand, and turned around, staring at the descending numbers in the elevator with icy eyes
Watching his cold and solitary figure. Eleanor clutched her hand, explaining. 1 thought you were with Teresa while I was living in your villa, it didn’t feel right. That’s why lacked. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
Bernard didn’t turn around or say anything as if he didn’t hear her
Not until the elevator doors opened did he turn around, grab her wrist, and pull her out
He forcefully pulled Eleanor into the car. Disregarding her wishes, he buckled her seat belt and quickly started 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...
