Chapter 419
Eleanor gave a slight nod, “You promised me before that we’d call it quits once I found what I lost. I’ve found it now, so let’s end this
Bemard clenched his teeth. Taking her hand, he disinfected and bandaged her wound
Eleanor cast a guarded look at Bernard. She was no longer swayed by his tender gestures.
After tending to her wounds, she said to him in a detached manner, “Mr. Laurence, I’ve already bought my ticket home. I’m leaving the villa today. Thanks for looking after me during this time.”
Hearing her resolute words, Bernard’s heart was torn apart.
He looked at Eleanor, “In nearly a month, we’ve made so many memories here in the WCity, in this villa. And all you have to say is ‘thank you“?”
Eleanor retorted, “Mr. Laurence, besidesl also gave you my body. Isn’t that enough?
“Eleanor, do you realize what you’re saying?”
Although it was him who initiated their relationship, Eleanor had always been willing
She used the word “gave” to describe their beautiful memories.
Feeling that she might have been too harsh with her words, Eleanor fell silent. But her silence wounded Bernard even more.
He raised his trembling hand, gently brushing Eleanor’s face, “I knew you’d leave without hesitation once you found those things. But I didn’t expect you to not miss me at all…”
From calling him Bernard to Mr. Laurence, she had become a completely different person in just four days. Bernard simply couldn’t accept it.
He asked Eleanor with a puzzled look, “Was all your kindness, all your warmth towards me a lie?”
Eleanor looked at him, paused, then said, “Once I agreed to be with you, of course, I had to be good to you.”
In other words, it was all an act….
This truth was even harder for him to accept than her sudden change….
As he recalled how she used to call his name, sit on his lap, and cooperate with him willingly, he believed that Eleanor was genuine. But once she found those things
It was as if he had grasped something precious and didn’t want to let it go.
“I know I’m not as important to you as Garett. I’m not asking you to divorce him for me. I just don’t want you to treat me like this.”
She had given him hope twice only to plunge him into despair. This kind of pain might cost him his life. So, he pleaded with her not to treat him this way.
Eleanor was slightly taken aback. She thought he knew about her divorce with Garett and that’s why he proposed to be with her. But it turned out he didn’t know
about the divorce at all.

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...
