Chapter 418
She stared at her injured hand for a while before giving Bernard a nod.
“It’s okay.”
It really was okay. Whatever he did last night, the drained Eleanor didn’t care anymore.
She had spent an entire night sitting on a bench in the streets of W City before finally waking up…
She and Bernard came from two different worlds. One from the bottom, the other from the top of society.
She couldn’t comprehend the world of those at the top, she could only see a limited view of it.
Her newfound fragile trust in Bernard was shattered by those from the top.
She had never deeply considered the issue of social inequality. She thought that as long as she loved bravely, they could have a happy ending.
But….
She couldn’t comprehend the foreign language on the menu during their date.
People bowed to him when they visited the Parliament building.
The friends he introduced her to were all aristocrats he had known since childhood from all over the world.
She saw him with another woman at a romantic restaurant, but was stopped by security before she could confront them.
She braved the heavy rain to the hotel, but didn’t even manage to set foot in the entrance before being told that this was the place where the Royal Family of Arvandor frequented…
She realized the problems between them weren’t just about trust, but also about their different backgrounds
She had considered standing on equal grounds with him through her own efforts after agreeing to be with him. But throughout this time…
He made her understand how many obstacles an ordinary person would have to overcome to reach his peak.
As she was striving to overcome these obstacles, he destroyed her trust and crushed her sense of security, leaving her completely exhausted.
Whether it’s love or marriage, they eventually need to be matched. She and Bernard, they really weren’t a good match…
When Bernard saw her scraped palm, he winced in pain, “Eleanor, what happened?”
Eleanor replied, “I fell accidentally.”
Bernard grabbed her hand and called for the servant to bring medicine.
Eleanor, however, pushed his hand away, “I’ve already put on some medicine, I’m fine
Seeing her distant demeanor, Bernard felt more puzzled, “Eleanor, what’s wrong? Did the servants and bodyguards bully you while I was away and caused you to get hurt? Tell me, I’ll sort them out.”
The servant who just brought the medicine box got scared hearing this.
Seeing their panicked looks, Eleanor felt even more burdened.

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...
