Chapter 411
Bernard came out of the bathroom and saw Eleanor doing her skincare routine with wet hair.
He frowned a bit, picked up the hairdryer, and carefully dried her hair.
Looking at the man in the mirror taking care of her meticulously, Eleanor’s anxiety slowly faded away.
After drying her hair, he gave her some medicine and picked her up from the chair.
“Eleanor, Ill take you to Jorvik to see the Northern Lights tomorrow.”
He had seen her looking at pictures of the aurora before, guessing she wanted to go there.
But back then, they were still testing each other out, so he never did those things for her.
He wanted to make up for the past regrets with the rest of his life. He wanted to heal her wounds and give her the best memories.
Eleanor curled up in his arms, nodding her head gently.
Bernard held her in his arms as they slept.
Eleanor looked at the man holding her, and her gut told her they wouldn’t make it to Jorvik
Just as she thought, the next day before they even had breakfast, a dozen space agency cars appeared outside the villa
Due to Bernard’s status and the large number of bodyguards, people of the space agency didn’t dare to enter but sent someone to invite him to the space base.
Bernard wanted to take Eleanor to see the Northern Lights, so of course, he wouldn’t go back with them, but the space agency director came in person.
The two argued for a long time in the study. In the end, the director left in a huff, and Bernard looked upset too.
Seeing them both unhappy, Eleanor persuaded Bernard, “We can go to see the Northern Lights anytime, but the space project can’t be stopped. You should go back to the base and deal with work first.”
Her comforting voice calmed Bernard’s restless heart.
He touched Eleanor’s face, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it.”
Bernard was very stubborn. It was hard for him to change his mind once he had made a decision. Eleanor didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
She saw the space agency people still waiting outside the villa and tried another way to persuade Bernard, “Bernard, I don’t want to go to Jorvik.”
Bernard replied, “Don’t sacrifice yourself for me. The Laurence Group doesn’t need the space agency’s projects.”
Eleanor felt warm in her heart when he saw through her thoughts and said, “I’m not sacrificing myself. I really don’t want to go. Don’t force me.”
This made Bernard a little flustered, “Eleanor, don’t get me wrong. I just wanted to give you a surprise in Jorvik.”
Hearing there was a surprise, Eleanor thought it was a marriage proposal and happily said, “Then let’s go after you come back from the space agency, okay?”
Bernard kept smiling, but he felt a little uneasy, “Eleanor, come with me.”
If he could bring outsiders into the secret center of the space agency, there wouldn’t have been an argument with the director earlier.
Eleanor didn’t want to make him feel embarrassed and smiled, “Don’t keep them waiting too long. Go ahead, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Her last words eased Bernard’s uneasiness.
He hugged Eleanor, kissed her forehead, and whispered, “Eleanor, three days. I’ll be back after I finish it.”
Eleanor nodded, hugged his waist, leaned against his chest, and after a tight embrach, she urged, “It’s getting dark.”

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...
